The Arcadian Hotel

yeah wouldn’t come back and wouldn’t recommend. the hotel is essentially a glorified motel. most of the rooms have interior-facing windows so you can see right into all the rooms from the hallway and have to keep your curtains closed at all times for privacy. this also means that the hallway is extremely loud and I didn’t have a moment of silence on the first floor during my stay, despite asking to be moved further away from the lobby. There was absolutely no cell service. The rooms are old and the bed is small and uncomfortable. Everything felt dirty and the hotel just didn’t live up to its advertisements. Always a long wait at the front desk - have never experienced the type of waits I did here at any other hotels. I did love the location, it was a safe area and so close to the Green line to keep you connected with the rest of the city. Lots of restaurants and cafes and grocery within walking distance.

The Hotel is okay. Be Aware of Charged parking. Also no day light. (Your window faces your neighbours front door). It’s quite clean. The showers are super small. And the toilet is super low on the ground. AC Is super noisy. Also no pool. A good thing is you’re near a Tram. I asked the staff for Nutella, (They had some the previous day) He responded in the driest way possible. Also they didn’t have eggs peanut butter. They had bread and bagels with cold butter or grape jelly

Outstanding location but a weird place. Most of the rooms do not have windows facing the outside and the rooms do not have adequate lighting. Bathrooms are very odd with a lot of wasted space and not enough room to set stuff down. And you practically have to step over the toilet to get into the shower. We had to put the ironing board in the bathroom to have enough “shelf” space. The room was clean although the shower/tub had remnants of old slip guard stains and bumpiness. Beds were comfortable and the coffee maker and fridge were nice to have. The continental breakfast was pretty meh, almost all carbs but the free coffee and tea all day is nice. The lobby/bar area is a nice spot to hang out for a while and people were watching the World Cup games while we were here. The location is hard to beat, being a 30 second walk to the St. Paul’s T stop and lots of restaurants plus Trader Joe’s within a few blocks. But for the cost, the rooms should be much better. All the staff we encountered were helpful although they appear to not have enough staff. At 5:30 pm on a Wednesday, there are approximately 15 people waiting at the front desk and one person working. It was similar when we checked in a few evenings ago. If I found a really good price, I’d stay here again for the location, but you can find much nicer rooms elsewhere.

Nice hotel with great walk ability. We were looking for an affordable place near family and this fit the bill perfectly. Easy check in/out. Nice rooms - comfy bed, good water pressure. I liked the common breakfast area. Breakfast is fine -- fruit, toast, cereals, yogurt, etc. would stay here again if in the area. No hassle and comfortable!
