Riu Plaza Toronto - Modern Hotel in Toronto

What guests think

At Riu Plaza Toronto, travelers consistently praise the exceptionally friendly staff, a generous buffet breakfast, and very clean, modern spaces in a central, walkable location close to theatres and attractions, creating strong value for city stays.

Rooms are modern but compact, and some guests report hallway or elevator noise plus sliding bathroom doors and bright bathroom lighting disrupting sleep. Several reviews note long, paperwork-heavy check-in with ID required for all guests. There is no onsite parking, though nearby garages are mentioned, and the popular breakfast can feel crowded at peak times. Overall, expect a central base with a standout breakfast, compact rooms, and some procedural trade-offs.

Definately the best breakfast in toronto for hotels. Only a couple things that i didnt like. No onsite hotel parking, but paid parking is across the street. The water pressure for the showers wasnt the best and no medical stay rate. Other than that the place was great. Nice rooms and hotel overall.

Beautiful new hotel, very friendly staff. Rooms are very nice, good gym. Only challenge is the check-in process. Feels like you are checking into an all inclusive with all the paperwork. Needs to be adapted to local market and what competition does. Not a great start to my trip, but the rest was excellent.

Just spent my birthday at the Riu Plaza and it what an experience. The staff went above and beyond and made my day special. I stayed at their 1 King bed deluxe with sofa bed. The room is on the smaller side as everyone mentions but it has everything I needed. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom was big and with a rainshower, ac/heater works well. The breakfast buffet was simple and your typical continetal breakfast and I love that it is included with your stay. The staff was also great, always greeted me with a smile. They also left a birthday card and chocolate in my room, staff also gave me cake at the breakfast buffet. For ameneties they have the bar at the reception and a gym. I believe they also have a spa? No in house restaurant but so many food options around the area. More importantly too is how center the hotel is. 2 mns from TIFF Lighbtox and 12 mns walk to CN Tower. I would recommend this hotel.

Room was clean and in good condition, and the breakfast buffet was delightful, which was a happy surprise considering that free food can be hit-or-miss. The only downside was that the process for casting YouTube/Netflix to the TB didn't work, even after I connected to the hotel wifi; for whatever reason, the TV would not appear as a casting option.

This is a brand new hotel, so everything is very clean. There is no parking on site so consider yourself warned - but parking is available across the street. Check in was laborious - they needed ID for both of us staying in the room plus addresses and contact information. The room is TINY and there is no desk or any place to spread your stuff out. We were knocking into each other. The bathroom is lovely and huge, comparatively! I wouldn't stay there again as it seems very transactional and not really about creating comfort, BUT if you are looking for an inexpensive and clean place to lay your head, this is it.

My stay at Hotel Riu Plaza Toronto ended very poorly due to a serious security incident and how it was handled by staff. After extending my stay and receiving confirmation from the Front Desk that my room and checkout date were updated, I returned to my room one afternoon to find my personal belongings disturbed and two skincare products missing (value over USD $100). Items had clearly been moved and rummaged through. Management later confirmed via camera footage and key card logs that a Housekeeping Supervisor entered my room while I was out, despite the room not being cleaned and my stay having been extended. No clear explanation was provided for why this occurred, and no accountability was taken. I was repeatedly told “we trust our team” and was unable to speak with the hotel manager. After nearly two weeks at the hotel, this incident completely overshadowed my stay. The lack of transparency, accountability, and concern for guest security was deeply disappointing. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.

The breakfast was amazing. One of the best I've had at a hotel in North America. I would book here again just for that. The room was very nice and clean. The only negative was that the front desk staff on the first night were not good. So many people were having problems and very long delays checking in for no reason. It was clear that someone who was not yet trained was put at the desk and was really struggling. She eventually gave up. Some of the customers were getting very frustrated. Fortunately the rest of the trip there were no issues.

The breakfast buffet was more quantity than quality. These are constructive criticisms. I hope it helps for when we return.
