Guest Reviews
- Arusa (10/5): - Harley was very reachable and proactive in making sure we were well settled in. Right in front of a TTC station and busy streets which made going out very accessible! Would highly recommended.
- Brian (6/5): - Nice location but the toilet was in the living room. Weirdest room layout I have seen.
- Annie (10/5): - .
- Paul (6/5): - This was less like a hotel room and more like a friend's spare room. There was no air conditioning. The fan made it barely tolerable. In the summer, it would not have been tolerable. The carpet was extremely dirty. The TV did not work well. I could not get the shower temperature to anything cooler than uncomfortably hot. And, while not a huge deal for me, the lack of an elevator should have been more prominent in the listing.
- Meagan (10/5): - Exactly what you need for a weekend stay.
- Joan (6/5): - Definitely a unique property. Room tired and dated. Shower room very dark and dreary. Convenient for the subway which was across the road. Had to request a hairdryer which I expected as standard. TV only usable with your personal Netflix account or via YouTube otherwise nothing. I was in the Loft room, up 2 flights of stairs. Thanks to the property manager for his help. Harley, you are a legend for carrying my suitcase. Found the instructions for checking in confusing with reference to checking in at another location. Once again, Harley to the rescue.
- William (10/5): - This was a great value for my needs, and the host was FANTASTIC! Harley was very helpful, knowledgeable, and service oriented.
- Lucas (10/5): Good stay - Harley was super friendly and helpful
- Shawn (4/5): - The pictures were definitely deceiving. What we didn’t like how the living room was the shower and the toilet. That configuration definitely did not work for us and the carpet around the shower and toilet is definitely not hygienic. The staff was nice enough and clean enough.
- Sarah (10/5): - Great place to stay f
- NICOLE (10/5): - We immensely enjoyed our stay. We had room 401 and it was quiet, clean and extremely comfortable! I was concerned that because the room was at the top of the building, it would be hot. Nope. The air con in our room was outstanding (probably the best we've ever had in a hotel room) and we *loved* coming in from the summer heat to a cold, crisp room! Harley was responsive and super friendly. The location cannot be beat! Across the street from the subway and all the food you could possibly want within walking distance. We'll be back!
- Don (10/5): Great Place. Funky Vibe - A gem in downtown Toronto. Very clean. Place has a funky vibe with heritage and modern elements. I was greeted by Harley who explained everything. A very friendly and welcoming dude. He being a Jays fan sealed the deal. The room was small, but I was aware of that when I booked. Tons of places to eat and an easy walk to most downtown attractions. A great boutique hotel. I will be back.
- Chris (8/5): - Harley was great, and nice quiet area, close to the subway
- Joe (4/5): - La TUMU has no services, so rating its “services” is moot. Harley is a nice fellow. He met us, showed us how to let ourselves in the front door, and room door, but … this is the point that guests should understand: this is not a hotel, it’s not a pension in the European sense. No front desk, no staff. It’s probably most equivalent to an Air bnb. You have coded entrance and can come and go as you please.
- susan (10/5): - Lovely lil Boutique Hotel conveniently located. Comfy bed and nice decor. We had one of the smaller rooms, so if that’s what you book, you need to utilize the space wisely. Recommend you use packing cubes and if can, pack a few hangers. The manager Harley was very nice and accommodating. The lovely lil Italian Bistro on Church St close by was soo good we ate there 2x. Walking distance to the Bata Shoe Museum. If you use Lyft to get to this place or picked up, be aware they seem to have probs finding it so maybe instruct them it’s next to the now closed “Fox & Fiddle. I highly recommend this sweet place.
- Joel (8/5): - It is a great location steps from Yonge Street amid all the Asian restaurants and across the street from the Wellesley metro station. Bed, bath, decor all nice. Great price for what you get. Would have liked microfridge and hairdryer but otherwise excellent.
- Katherine (6/5): You get what you pay for: it’s okay - I was booked for a two night stay, and chose this hotel for its price and proximity to the subway. It was fine: the bed was comfortable, the AC worked, the shower was good. The room was small and had one tiny (basement) window, but was adequate for my purposes (and I was really only there to sleep and shower). No issues getting info about accessing the building b and my room: instructions were prompt and clear.
- Wylie (6/5): - La TUMU is the definition of "you get what you pay for." It's not a true hotel - it's a house that was converted to hold about a dozen or so rooms. With no real amenities, the main advantage of La TUMU is being situated near the subway, making arrivals and departures smooth. My room was small but functional. The mattress was too soft for my liking, and the sheets felt like polyester. I could feel the rumbling of the subway every few minutes from my room. La TUMU should, however, change the front door system. Every other time I left or returned to La TUMU I found the front door to the building unlocked, most likely due to other guests forgetting. An automatic lock would be much better.
- William (8/5): - big plus: next to a 24h market and good restaurants . walking distance to popular spots (or cheap uber). Good service available via sms. some bad: Area is under construction and saw a few homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. Would still stay there again.
- Andrey (8/5): - Everything was good
- Verified traveler (6/5): - La télé ne fonctionnait pas (aucun signal). Chambre très petite mais correcte pour une nuit ou deux. Un point positif, l’hôtel est situé juste en face du métro, à une station de la rue Bloom et du Mink mile.
- Marianna (8/5): - Lively hotel with excellent location and helpful staff.
- Elijah (10/5): - The hotel was in a perfect location for what we wanted to do in the city. It is right across from a TTC station which links into all areas of the city. Check in was quick and easy and Harley was super helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.
- Danielle (8/5): - We had a wonderful stay! Harley was a great host and was available whenever we had any questions! Quaint and charming place and I would definitely reccomend!
- Anirudh (8/5): - The location is awesome, right in front of Wellesley subway and the rooms are clean and maintained. The area is comparatvely quiter than the Yonge neighborhood.
- Barbara (8/5): - Great location. Friendly property manager
- Alex (10/5): - This boutique hotel is a hidden gem for travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and value. The rooms are on the small side, but thoughtfully laid out with all the essentials — clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The real highlight is the host: friendly, welcoming, and thorough. From check-in to check-out, everything is explained clearly and handled with care, making the whole experience refreshingly uncomplicated. Situated right in the heart of Toronto near the university campus, it's the perfect home base for exploring the city — whether you're here for work or just soaking up the sights. Great value for the budget-conscious traveler without sacrificing quality. Would absolutely stay again.
- Dinh (10/5): - Good
- Ysolde (10/5): - Strategically located across a quiet subway station (but still downtown), it is a clean no-frills place that provides what you need to be comfortable in a former family home that has been converted for the purpose. The contact with the host is easy and friendly. Explanations are clear and reliable.
- Ian (10/5): - I used the subway, and the station was across the street. I had an excellent sleep, with a quiet night. No pool or restaurant, but I didn't need either.
- Jennifer (10/5): - A very nice boutique hotel, which is reasonably priced and is in a great location
- Philip (10/5): - Very nice ancient property but well renovated tastefully decorated. The smart to is fine if you have subscriptions like Netflix or Prime which I don’t. So cable tv with basic free channels would be a nice to have. There is no reception you have to tell in advance your arrival time, once there you have to call Harley the owner and wait ( not too long) Overall good experience, I would comeback.
- Allyson (10/5): - We had a great stay at La Tumu! Harley is great and was easy to connect with while we were staying here. Would definitely stay again!
- Manish (10/5): - Good place to crash, clean and affordable
- Syd (10/5): - Very lovely
- Tamara (10/5): - The room was very clean and it was very easy to communicate with thee staff. I enjoyed my stay.
- Edward (8/5): Great value - Really great value and centrally located. I enjoyed my stay!
- James (10/5): - Clean, quiet and very convenient location Will definitely stay again
- Rob (10/5): - Super location, not a lot of street noise, comfortable bed and great shower. Great value for money, easy check in and checkout. What more could you ask for?
- tony (8/5): - Small-ish room, but adequate for what I needed
- Irene (10/5): - Easy to get an access...
- Tom (8/5): - It was a comfortable stay, pretty bare bones but that’s all good because I wasn’t expecting more and it was super convenient to the subway station which was great.
- John (10/5): - The property is very unassuming. You receive a code for the front door as well as your room. The Wi-Fi signal was strong and the AC was responsive. Just be aware that there is no fridge or microwave. Great location almost directly opposite the main Wellesley subway station. I will definitely rebook here.
- Ara (10/5): - Great stay Thank you
- Steve (10/5): - Room clean and spacious. The proprietor greets you on arrival and tells you everything you need to know. Location couldn't be better, especially considering the price.
- Lucas (10/5): - Very helpful Hosts at La Tumu! Excellent location, tucked away near yonge!
- matthew (10/5): - Simple instructions - clean
- Daniel (10/5): - -Really enjoyed my stay overall -Couldn’t figure out the shower, and when I texted the owner he never answeredz -Room door was sticky (needed an extra push/pull to shut and open.
- Jaspreet (8/5): - Great location and stay was comfortable. Communication with host was easy and details were provided in a timely manner. Good for short trips when you need to stay in the middle of all the city activity.
- Farid (8/5): - Nicely renovated rooms with on suite shower and bathrooms
- Rosanna (8/5): Great Location in Downtown TO - This hotel is in a renovated house. There is no sign in front of it. Great location though and our room was modern and very clean. The rain shower was lovely with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided. Our host, Harley, was very friendly and we were able to contact him with any concerns and get a response. If you use public transportation, the subway is right across the street. There is a public paid parking lot almost next door. It would have been nice to have a mini fridge and to control the temperature. It was a bit warm but there is AC which I had to turn on. There is a smart TV so no cable - not everyone has a subscription to Netflix or Amazon Prime. Cable/satellite TV could be preferred so you don’t have to log in and then remember to log out. Also, “Exit” signs on the doors to leave our floor and on the street level would be super helpful. We did get a little confused trying to find the hallway and stairs to leave but figured it out. Please note this place is not accessible and there are stairs. Even with some of the cons, we would stay here again. Likely, in a different room. Cheers
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place super comfy I would definitely recommend
- Jessie (10/5): - Conveniently located nearly directly across from the Wellesley subway station, with a parking garage not too far, this location is great! the property manager, Harley, is amazing! he was so lovely to both my mom and i. i would recommend this place to anyone.
- Claude (8/5): - Close to the subway, very friendly, pricewise good deal
- Liz (10/5): - Great little room right by Wellesley subway station. Perfect place for a single traveller looking to explore the downtown. The bed was super comfortable and the room was very clean. Harley communicated well and made the keyless check-in easy.
- Eric (10/5): - Harley, le gérant, est très aimable et de service. Merci Harley
- Patrick (10/5): - Great place!
- Amanda (10/5): - Needed something last minute next to Sunnybrook and I got a room immediately which then got upgraded. Easy check in and clean room.
- Shandhini (10/5): - La Tumu is in a very convenient location and the property is clean and easy to access. The staff were great and very welcoming and responsive.
- Sean (10/5): - Anything I needed the attendant was amazing with.
- Ray (8/5): - Really enjoyed my stay. I was out and about in Toronto, and the 2 minute walk to Wellesley station made it easy to get around, from Union Station to the ROM. Probably not a good stay or a family due to limited resources on site, but for folks dropping in for work, or out about about enjoying the city, it's a great, and convenient stay. 35 minutes from Pearson to the Hotel using the Up Train, and Subway ($16). The staff was attentive, and accessible, and responded quickly.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect stay in the downtown core for a reasonable cost.
- Carrie (8/5): - Great location and perfect for what I needed.
- Sinead (10/5): Very cute! Convenient location - Clean cute and cozy would definitely stay here again
- Pascal (10/5): - Logement propre, juste à la sortie du métro et en centre ville. Service au top, de l’accueil à la sortie. Je recommande vivement
- Brandon (10/5): - Great little spot
- Weverton (10/5): - It was a pleasant surprise, the service since I booked was very good, they even gave me a better room than the one I had chosen, everything was very clean and organized with an amazing location. For sure, when I return to Toronto, this will be the place I stay!
- Dy (10/5): - The owner was super kund and the area was super.clean i would definitely recommend for anuone to stay i loved it here
- Leah (10/5): - Harley was a great help with explaining the rooms to me. The room was perfect for what I needed, just a place to sleep and shower and relax after a day of walking Toronto. Thank you!
- Maryam (8/5): - Cozy spot for a night in the city! The property manager was very friendly and welcoming, even reaching out in advance to arrange my stay. While the space wasn’t large, it was clean and comfortable—perfect for a short visit to Toronto.
- Julie (10/5): - C'est un vieux bâtiment typique de Toronto.
