Realmente la habitación era espaciosa, el baño muy grande y cómodo, la cama súper colocada, muy buenas almohadas, estaba súper cerca al metro o a principales avenidas, también comida de muchos países. Pedí más cápsulas de café y me dieron. El host Harley muy pendiente y formal, la verdad la pasé muy bien, supero mis expectativas

Good all-round except TV channels didn't work. Likes: room size, quiet, location, staff.
Dislikes: TV channels most working, tiny window
Overall good. Fan recommend LaTumu for solo travellers wanting to just be left alone. Good system for getting in and out

Harley was incredibly helpful! He proactively messaged me with instructions for check-in, it was super easy. Felt really cared for, he offered assistance, was always quick to reply and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. The room was super comfortable, clean and well equipped for short stays in the city. The location is 10/10, across the street from Wellsley Station, on the corner of Yonge Street, steps away from all the food, coffee and bubble tea options you can imagine. Definitely recommend and plan to come back!

The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The shower was amazing, very good water pressure and could easily get hot water.

Only negative - the TV wasn't connected to any cable or antenna. Could log in with a Netflix account of our own, but as mine is a UK Netflix account it isn't functional in Canada. Ergo, no TV viewing. We could cope as the wifi was good, so watched YouTube on our tablets.

It was a lovely stay, Harley is a gem. He greeted me at the front door the second I got there, and gave me a detailed tour. The room was very quiet, I couldn’t hear any other visitors.
The only downside is having to use a public parking lot, which can be pricey for multiple days. But not the venue’s fault, and it’s close to the building.
100% would recommend to anyone visiting downtown, and will be staying there again on my next visit.

The staff was very welcoming, but we were surprise to see that is was more a guest house than a hotel. The word "boutique" was misleading for us. It has great soap, but it's very old, bed is OK, but that's about it. It's close to a police station so we were earring sirens all night long.

It is ok. More like boarding house accommodations,self access, A preserved Toronto Home turned into a self access, single room occupancy accommodations. Bed was comfortable. Access was easy,location is superb.Right across from the Wellesley Subway Station. Room 202, bathroom needs a DEEP DEEP scrub. Bathroom plumbing is in need of clearing and cleaning. Ventilation in the bathroom does very little. It is very moist and damp ALL the time. The fumes are eye piercing. I kept the door closed all the time with a shoe b/c it would not stay closed. The bathroom fan has a max 15min timer and I repeatedly turned it on. Mold and mildew in the bathroom shower floor and all over the curtain. The shower products need repair and a CLEANING. La Tumu is doable & it is definitely priced accordingly. Harley was very good at communications and very courteous when ever we spoke or messaged.

The room was spotless, as was the bathroom. The shower was fantastic. The room was a little loud, due to the other guests shutting doors, and toilets flushing, so earplugs would be recommended. Apart from that, the only slight issue I had was I thought the water pressure for the taps on the sink could've been better. LOADS of restaurants and shops nearby, and it's literally across the road from the subway. Would definitely consider staying again if I were to return to Toronto. Which I more than likely will. It's basic, yes, but it has everything you need if you're visiting Toronto, and just need somewhere comfortable and accessible.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)
