5 hotel reviews for Hotel Strathcona
the hotel lies in the city, that is to say in the area are too many offices. Restaurants, shops and all sights are however easy to reach on foot. The Concierge was perfect! We had just a quick question, it until the I-tüpfelchen answered, far about the real issue out (and even though the very frustrierendes Telefanat with a rental car company meant). Read more

The the Strathcona is diagonally across the street from the Unionstation walking distance from about 15 minutes from CN Tower. Walking distance to all the sights. Our room and bathroom was small but sufficient and always cleaned. We weren't here all day and have visited the hotel only to sleep. want to stay for city-traveller central highly recommended.
