Truly a pleasure staying at Lowther Suites! Very nice and spacious living area. Will probably never want to stay in a hotel again. Knowing that I was going back to a homey place of comfort at the end of each day made it that much better. I’ve traveled and stayed in a lot of places and this was definitely the most bang for my buck!! 5 stars easy!!! Will definitely be returning…Luther Smith

My family recently relocated to Toronto and we spent nearly two months enjoying the home comforts of Lowther Suites. The location was excellent – walking distance to two TTC stations made my commute downtown very easy. The restaurants and shops of both Yorkville and The Annex were a short stroll away. Charles was extremely flexible with our arrangements and was able to accommodate various requests we had. Arnel, the caretaker was always available for any help we required. A big plus for us was the warm and homely atmosphere of the apartment which made Lowther Suites feel more like a temporary “home” rather than another corporate address.

My husband and I spent the month of December at Lowther Suites as we became first time grandparents…we were both very familiar with the street since our son and daughter in law had just lived 4 houses away a couple of years before. The accommodation was very spacious and very clean and Arnel was there to fill our needs very quickly and always with a smile. We were very happy to refer the Lowther Suites to our friends from Vancouver as well….Charles was also most accommodating to us during the rental process and made the whole expserience an enjoyable one.

Our near month long stay at Piano Suites was great. The apartment was spacious and well maintained. The responsiveness to inquiries was excellent. We enjoy the Annex area of T.O. and chose the location becaause of this. Best decision made in Toronto was to live at Lowther Suites

I recently completed a four month stay at the Lowther Suites and was very happy with every aspect of my time there. Although I had not had time to visit Toronto before my stay to check it out–everything was completely as described on-line. My family was impressed that I was “on-line” approximately 6 hours after driving to town, unloading the car, and turning on the computer. Everyone there was extremely helpful about every aspect of my time there. The location is excellent for shopping, going out, the university of Toronto and public transportion (although I had a car). When my friends visited, their analysis was that I could not have found a more suitable place.

Lowther suites is a beautiful perfectly located property in walking distance of musuems, the university of toronto, shops, cafes, restaurants and parks. the suite we stayed in with our baby and small dog was lovely. It was thoughtfully equipped, very well furnished, and extremely well serviced, maintained and managed on-site by Arnel and off site by Charles. Even the smallest problem was attended to speedily and with professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend lowther suites as a place to stay.

My wife and I certainly enjoyed our stay at the Lowther Suites. The apt was quite spacious and was equipped with everything we could possibly want during our week in Toronto. The location was great; in a real neighborhood, rather than a touristy area. We were able to walk everywhere, and when we wanted to use the train or bus, it was only five minutes away. Charles’s description of everything about the apt was exceedingly accurate.We would certainly stay in the apt if we were to return to Toronto

We stayed this summer in Lowther Suites with my two kids and their aunts. We were happy to stay. There was so clean and Arnel who worked there for guest helped a lot and he was so kind. So we felt comfortable and happy. Ther was a good location to go everywhere in Toronto. If we might go to Toronto again, we hope to stay there Lowther Suites.

The Lowther Suites is a well-kept and well- managed property. The apartments are spacious and have a lot of heritage character. Very good value for the price. I only stayed one week, but would have stayed longer if my research had required. The site super, Arnel, was so friendly and helpful. Excellent location between two subway stops – I walked to most everywhere I needed to go. Tina

All of us higly recommend the top floor, two-bedroom unit and hope for a return visit in the near future.

We, 2 adults and 17 months’ baby, stayed at Lowther Suites for 2 weeks in August 2009 and really enjoyed our apartment 103 with its huge deck. There was actually no singe negative thing we could think of during our stay. Apartment was clean and has absolutely everything you may need even if you travel with an infant. Location was very quiet and very conveniently located – just 5 minutes walk from busy Bloor street. Housekeeper Arnel was prompt and very helpful. We’ll definitely try to book Lowther Suites for our next stay and strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a decent and reasonably-priced accommodation in Toronto.

We were very pleased to stay at Lowther suites during 3 weeks with our family to visit one of our daughters who lives in Toronto. The suite is very comfortable, the situation in Toronto is ideal, and we want to send particular thanks to Arnel, who was available and always answered to our questions very warmly. We felt here as if we were really living in Toronto. Thank you!

Lowther Suites was an ideal location for us when we emmigrated to Canada from Australia. But it wasn’t just its prime location, or the comfy beds that made it perfect. It was also Charles and Arnel who made our stay flawless. We corresponded with Charles before we left Australia and he did everything he possibly could to make us feel welcome and ensure the suite was just what we needed. We were greeted by Arnel who treated us like celebrities for our entire stay and Charles continued to check in with us throughout our stay, with a friendly approach and a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude. We had the luxury of staying in both the two bedroom and one bedroom suites; both were comfortable, private and offered all the comforts of home. Situated steps away from the TTC, cafes and supermarket made living easy! Highly recommended.

We choose a suite at the Lowther Apartments for a week for our son’s wedding in Toronto. It was a terrific choice for four adults and one toddler with plenty of room to move around and have people drop in for a visit. The location was the best, only a block from the subway and close to all amenities, including mere blocks to the ROM. We all loved the large bathroom and living room. The caretaker was attentive to all our needs and quickly produced items that were short or missing. The air conditioning worked well when required. We would stay there again.

Hi Charles, We had such a great time in Toronto but it is time to leave. We loved staying at Lowther Suites. Arnel was most responsive and helpful. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. We really felt at home. The location was outstanding. We were so close to public transit which we utilized extensively. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed taking breakfast there. Lots of closet space and all the windows made it very light. We would give Lowther Suites our highest recommendation. We have stayed at VRBO listed properties in New York, San Francisco and London and yours was the best experience. We look forward to returning to Toronto and staying at Lowther Suites. Regards, George

Hi Jerry
The move into Lowther went wonderfully and your staff Arnel and Tina were so lovely.
Thanks so much – we are loving it here!

While attending a conference in Toronto, I chose the Lowther Suites as an alternative to the big corporate hotels. This was the best decision I could have made. The suite was comfortable, clean, very spacious and quiet. With a 3 minute walk to the subway, it was very easy to get around town the end of a busy day, I looked forward to retreated to the comfort of my suite. I would stay here again in a heart beat.

Charles,
Great, thank you so much. We all have enjoyed our stay in Toronto and at Lowther. We are already trying to figure out when we will be able to visit again and of course will want to stay here. The location and suites are just perfect. If you can point me to a couple of websites to post a positive review of my stay here, I would be more than happy to. Thanks for all of your assistance in everything.

The house is lovely and obviously well maintained, clean and fresh.

Jerry: Just wanted to tell you how impressed we were with this apartment. You’re right – we’ll never go back to Glen Grove or Toronto Suites!
Thanks for all the communications and the great rental!
Jerry,
Just about to email you. Everything was fantastic, as always. It was a beautiful flat. The thing I love about it is that it always feels so much like a proper home that one is coming back to. No problem getting in and I left the two keys in the safe deposit box when I left. Arnel was as pleasant as always. I shall always be happy to recommend this gem to anybody coming to Toronto. My only regret was not being able to see you, but with the weather the way it was, you were very sensible to stay in LA!
Thanks again. It’s always a pleasure dealing with you.

To whom it may concern,
I would like to heartily recommend Lowther Suites to anyone looking for a short stay furnished suite during
their medical visit to Toronto, Ontario. We found that the location, cost, comfort, and especially the people made a stressful visit to an unfamiliar city into a wonderful experience.
Recently, my husband and I traveled from Vancouver BC, to Toronto, Ontario where my husband was scheduled for open-heart surgery at Toronto General Hospital. As we were going to be a long way from home and family for at least 2 weeks, we set out to find a home away from home. Lowther Suites, met all of our criteria and more. What makes Lowther Suites so ideal?
~ Only 2 km from Toronto General Hospital, a pleasant walk or subway ride.
~ 1 1/2 blocks from the St Georges subway station – 2 stops from the hospital, a fast, safe, easy commute
~ 2 short blocks from a market and a Dominion grocery store, as well as other shopping
~ 5 short blocks from Yorkville and an amazing Whole Foods grocery store.
~ Located at 88 Lowther Ave, in a quiet, charming neighborhood of heritage homes, perfect
for post surgery strolling
~ The house is kitty-corner to a playground, near an elementary school. The reason I mention this, is
because the sounds of kids on their way to school or play was comforting and normalizing in a strange
and stressful time.
~ There are only 5 suites in the building, which make it very peaceful.
Our suite number 101, on the main floor, was a bright one bedroom, with a full living room, dining room and
kitchen, It was spotlessly clean, nicely furnished and in wonderful repair. High speed wireless internet, phone and fax allowed me to easily keep in touch with our family and friends. I really appreciated the hand written note that the property manager Arnel had left for me, urging me to call him any time for any reason!
The cost of staying at Lowther Suites for 2 weeks, was less than staying at the Delta Chelsea, the hotel nearest to the hospital. That isn’t even taking into consideration the difference between eating out every day and being able to cook in our own suite. Plus, my husband had no desire to come home to a hotel room after his release from hospital. Staying in a calm, quiet home environment was very therapeutic.
Finally, Jerry, Charles and Arnel made my stay especially wonderful. During the 10 days my husband was in the hospital, when I was exhausted and felt very far from home, Jerry and Charles bothered to contact me to find out how things were going. Arnel was always available to help me out with any little thing. And finally, their generosity in arranging additional space for our children when they joined us, went way beyond our expectations, and we were deeply touched by their kindness. I encourage anyone in circumstances similar to ours to check out Lowther Suites. Comprehensive information is available on their website, www.lowthersuites.com or you can contact us by email if you require any further information.

Hi Jerry,
Our stay was lovely. It was a pleasure to come home to such a relaxing atmosphere and the location couldn’t be more convenient for us as we love to walk the city. Unit 105 in particular is very pleasant with lots of space and light. I believe someone else will be there in July from what Christine/a(?) said which is too bad from our point of view. I’m sure the other two bedroom is also lovely, if we are lucky enough to get the upgrade. And if not, the one bedroom will be comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was an ideal place for mom to rest and relax as she went through the radiation treatment for her type of cancer. The one bedroom suite (102) was very spacious and allowed four of us to be here comfortably. It was nice to be able to cook, do laundry, and walk to the Princess Margaret Hospital. As you promised, Lowther Suites was our home away from home as we are from Nova Scotia and Toronto was the only option for mom’s cancer treatment. Thanks again, the Mader family.

Jerry: I wanted to write to you and thank you for a wonderful stay at
Lowther. It was everyting I was told and more. The area was beautiful and the short walk to Bloor Street and the subway made getting to and from our courses easy. The apartment was top notch. Lots of room, clean and I know the girls loved the huge bathroom. You were right all we needed was a toothbrush. I hope I will have the pleasure of staying at Lowther again and have told many of my friends about it.
Till our next stay take care.
