Not as advertised
This property is not what is advertised on Hotels.com. The address given on the website is not the address of the property, thankfully there were local people who had dealt with other people looking for this property who were very helpful. Getting in touch with the property manager was challenging and getting the required information to check in was difficult. I spent half an hour on the phone trying to get the documents to register and complete the deposit required to get the codes to get into the suite. The main door to the building had a lock and keypad, however someone had jammed a screw into the lock, photo attached below, so it didn’t lock which didn’t give me any feelings of security. The suite is split into 2 parts, the “living room” on one side with a lock and keypad has no window even though there is a couch with a place to sleep, however there wasn’t any bedding to put on it. I called the property manager about the bedding but didn’t get any response. The bedrooms and bathroom were across the hall behind a second door with a lock and keypad. The 2 bedrooms were small, but the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was very small and there was no anti slip coating or mat for the shower in the bathtub which made showering somewhat dangerous. The bathroom sink was cracked in a few places. The kitchen was a folding plastic table and folding chairs with a microwave and coffee maker and some disposable plates and cutlery and a small refrigerator.

Book at your peril - arrived late at night to find both TV's not working, all the electrical outlets in both bedrooms not working, meaning no lamps working and no where to plug my phone/alarm in overnight. In the morning woke up to find that the hot water was not working at all. Reported defects at time of finding them out. Have called 4 times after leaving to speak to someone about this and each time no one is available and someone will call back - they do not. This was intended to be a budget one night stay but entirely not worth the $300 ++ I paid and the $300 security deposit which I am hoping I get back.

This was a comfortable spot in a great location, my only issue was regarding the communication with the rental company. The burden is on you to request check-in information, and I had to call and message them several times before they responded with the information. They also waited until the last minute, to the point where I wasn't sure if I would even have a place to stay. I wish the communication had been better and clearer.

The entrance is not safe. It is in a back alley which is unkept, dirty, graffitied and used as a sleeping place for the homeless. The lock was not working on the door so it was left open all the time for anyone to enter. I did not stay there after seeing this and was refused a refund after numerous attempts to call with no answer.

After I sent the deposit the host did not respond to me, and I was unable to get my room key. I had to stay at a different hotel for the night and they will not give me a refund. Stay away if you don’t want to get scammed.

I cannot say I would stay at Kensington Apartments again. The apartment itself was clean, running water, good pressure, provided a fridge with freezer, and a smart TV. No air conditioning, however, and we were hot as hell. We had to keep the windows open at night, only one of which actually opened properly. We booked for 5 people, and while there were 2 queen beds and a pull-out couch, the couch had no sheets or covers available. It was also kind of gross. The apartment was divided in two units, both of which are accessible through a code. Despite that, I did not really feel safe there. The doors were wonky, and the main door downstairs (also accessible through a code) was broken and always unlocked. There is free parking, but I have no idea how it works, and people were double parked in front of one another. I had purchased a street permit from the city and was very glad I had. What else? Staff is helpful, but there was no one on site. Everything is done via WhatsApp or phone. The cleaning staff I ran into once was really sweet and gave us extra sheets. Also, there’s a safety deposit required, not done via Expedia. Which I think isn’t supposed to be a thing? All in all, it wasn’t terrible. But it wasn’t great either.

read the reviews before renting this place, the pictures are not the same as what they offer, the picture is supposed to have a kitchen and a big table but it is not like that, we rented the place for 5 people and it was supposed to have 3 beds and a sofa bed but there were only 2 beds, this place is extremely weird, it is in a hostile area, outside it is full of graffiti and pigeon poop, the first entrance that you are supposed to put a code in does not work, it is open all the time so anyone can enter and it also gives you access to the garage so anyone can enter there too, the room where we stayed is divided into 2 rooms, one where the living room is and the other where there are 2 rooms, which is quite strange because you would expect everything to be together, it is worth mentioning that there is no reception or anyone in charge of the place so if you need help no one is going to solve anything for you, when I called to ask why the photos that appeared on the site were different the person who helped me only gave me excuses, I asked why the kitchen that was in the photos was not there and why that the air conditioning did not work to which he said that we had a small table with a microwave and that the AC worked perfectly which is not true, I also have my doubts about the refund of the deposit and how reliable it is, since looking at the other reviews I realize that many people did not get their deposit back and I also have my doubts about them stealing your identity

We arrived at our accommodations booked through Expedia. Our accommodations are at 38 Kensington Place in Toronto. I cannot fully and accurately express the level of disappointment and disgust when we arrived. The accommodations are not in the least bit accurately reflected on the Expedia website. The “locked” front gate has a screw through the lock so the whole premises is unsecured. There were pubic hairs in the beds. There were weird stains in the bedding. The bedside tables were FULL of garbage (including women’s sanitary products). The “kitchen” was a folding table, mini fridge, and microwave. The couch is broken (the whole side is completely broken off). The air vents are smashed. Everything is really dirty. The “balcony” is absolutely COVERED in bird poo and is otherwise unusable. I have photos that I will endeavor to share in hopes that you can look at them before you EVER consider staying here!! Upon arrival, I opened a chat with an Expedia representative. They contacted the owner of the accommodations and asked them to reach out to us. They did reach out and switched us to another unit. The ONLY reason that helped is because the accommodations were all attached in one unit. The first unit had one of my kids sleeping in another locked door unit without us?!? DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

DO NOT STAY HERE! NOT SAFE OR CLEAN!!
We had a HORRIBLE experience here. Our first unit had NO AC and wasn’t the cleanest. The shower curtain was so brown and dirty. We were transferred to another unit after we came back from our night event. When we got back around 4am, the door to the new unit was difficult as if it was being blocked closed and THERE WAS A MAN IN THE BED. He had taken a shower and gotten really comfortable. The 24/7 “helpline” wasn’t any help with getting fresh sheets, towels or about our security concerns. We were told nothing could be done until the morning. Come morning, there was NO HOT WATER. We didn’t get any response from the customer service line ALL DAY even when I’ve reached out to them multiple times. After a disrespectful encounter with a man who claimed to be the supervisor at the property (turns out he wasn’t the supervisor, just posing as one) and the “maintenance man” (who turned out to be the man in the bed), we packed up our bags and left. Comments were made about my nationality. And I believe he kicked my car while in the garage! WE DID NOT FEEL SAFE OR COMFORTABLE. It’s been about 2 weeks since we checked out early and I’m STILL getting the run around from the hotel about my compensation. DO NOT STAY HERE!

You get what you pay for, it was pretty clean and everything worked properly. A little confusing to find. However we had a good time, we wanted to explore the city and this was a cheap place to stay. Would stay here again

Avoid if possible
Hotel listed is a scam and does not look like photos posted online. While inside of the apartments is moderately clean, area is unsecured with both front doors being unlocked/ lacking the ability to be locked. Alongside that, the bathroom is more a closet with no barrier for the water alongside being next to the toilet.
