A Unique Value In An Expensive And Busy City

The Old Mill Inn is nestled in an almost park like setting near the Humber River. I say almost because the ever expanding metropolis of TO is moving in. There is construction of a new building going up across the street. And although it's stated here that every room has a view of the Humber River valley, my room's (520) view was of the dumpsters for a large semi highrise next door. That... more

The Home Smith Bar is what this review is about. It is a great place for jazz, drinks, and a light meal. Have been there a few times over the last year or two, and always have a good time. If you like jazz, I am sure you will enjoy.

Old Mill Inn, New Years Eve: Round 2!

This year we opted for the King room, which also had the jacuzzi and fireplace goodness of last year's room. This room was definitely as relaxing as last year's, if not more. The staff was stellar, as usual.

The Vinyl 95.3 NYE party was extremely well organized, the dinner was mostly amazing, and the music was perfect. The room was never too crowded, even... more

Great Hotel

a little far from the city center, but close to a subway stop. everything is fancy and classic.

In response to Natalie B.'s response to my review:

Thank you Natalie for your message. However, I believe you're mistaken. I was never offered a complimentary service. Perhaps you are thinking of someone else who made a complaint? I was offered a $25 discount on my next appointment. It's this sort of disorganization and confusion that I alluded to in my comment on Yelp. I understand your... more

We recently attended a wedding at The Old Mill and thought the place was charming. It almost feels like your inside an old castle. The service and food were very good for a banquet hall.

The only negative was a lack of parking. Their parking lot was full and we had to park far down the road. My elderly mother had to be dropped at the door to wait for me to walk all the way back. It was ok as... more

Charming oasis in Toronto

We stayed at the Old Mill after attending a wedding there. We had a beautiful suite on the fifth level overlooking a wooded area. The room amenities included a very large bathroom with a two person... more

Unique and wonderful - One of My Favorites

I have stayed at this hotel 6 times now (always off-season) and I love it's unique character and charm. With only a coup,e of negatives, this is my go to place in Toronto so long as you do not need... more

Nice experience, lovely spa

Very good room, loved the Home Smith bar. Didn't eat in the restaurant but did try spa services (massage and reflexology). Both were very good and not too expensive considering the location. Service... more

Solid 3.5 stars. Great hotel off Bloor. Convenient in that it's close to a subway station and some trails at kings park. Really not close to much else though ( walking distance wise). Service is great. Stay comes with breakfast. It's chocked full of weddings on the weekends tho.

I went to the Old Mill Inn and Spa this morning with a friend for breakfast. Not being from Toronto, I wasn't aware or familiar with The Old Mill historically, nor the luxury and prestige it connotes.

From a "travel" perspective, I have to say, driving to this establishment from where I live was lovely. The route we took through that part of Toronto was really beautiful, and so unlike most of... more

My husband and I were staying at the Old Mill for a wedding two weeks ago. We invited the wedding party to join us in our room for celebrations. When we opened the mini-bar to have a drink, the fridge was filled with black mold - all over everything. We were disgusted but did not highlight this to the wedding guests as to not ruin the party and embarrass the Old Mill. All the food in the room... more

Gord and I spent an afternoon at the Old Mill Inn Spa. We'd been there in March for Gord's birthday and liked it so he treated me there for my birthday.

Our first service was an hour long couple's massage. Belinda was my massage therapist and she was awesome! I'd had her in March too. She gives a deep massage.

Then we had a pedicure. Stef gave me a Chocolate Peppermint Paddy Pedicure (Enjoy a... more

What a beautiful Inn! My couples who have been married here have enjoyed this venue very much. Many beautiful outdoor locations for great photos. The building itself is lovely to look at. The outdoor patio, pond with fountain and rock garden are stunning. I enjoy shooting at this location. The Stain glass in the chapel is also really great in photographs. The chapel is a little dark but it... more

Quiet location for a weekday retreat. Front desk staff were especially helpful.

The room was great. The ambiance was set when we arrived to the room (nice music). Big plus, the ice bucket was pre filled!! The 2 person soaker tub was amazing (might have been the company), with jets.

Cons: dimmer switches would be great! Haha

I am writing this review on the dinner menu. I would skip the buffet and go for the menu choices. I ordered the beef tenderloin and definately one of the best steaks ive had. The side vegetables were very fresh. The service was very friendly. If you want to try something different than the Keg try it for a different experience.

This food free month of reviews is hard..... And as much as I didn't really want to go into details about my wedding, I think that I don't have much other choice because my yelp reviews revolve around food. I'll do my best to recap the overall experience without getting getting into details.

I didn't think I could afford a wedding at the old mill.. Thought it was glamorous and upscale, but my... more

For me, this place had its pros and cons.

I've been here at least twice now, once for a business conference, and more recently for an overnight stay.

The buffet food for the conference - for both breakfast and for lunch, were great. Lots of choices, good tasting, and there was easily enough for all.

Nice setting, easy to get to by local transit (get off at Old Mill station, and then walk... more

I was here for a wedding and the building itself along with the surroundings is lovely.
Parking is in the back which I believe fills up quite quickly - I was WAY in the back and around the corner.

Sadly my girls and I were on a time crunch with 15 min to spare to get to the wedding. Let's just say we missed the ceremony!! :( This place is a bloody maze and they should really have more signs in... more

I was just here for a wedding this weekend. It's a nice venue (I've been here before for high tea as well). The classic architecture is really pretty, this place is really well run, and extremely busy. They must have had 3 or 4 weddings, b/c they were rotating through the chapel, one after the other. My advice is to try to arrive at least 20 minutes before the ceremony starts, b/c this place is... more

My husband and I stayed here for two days and one night in September 2010. The service, facilities, amenities and the neighbourhood was absolutely great, but the lay out of building is complex. We continued to forget our way to the room and to the exit.

Unique Quality: In my opinion, the beautiful surrounding with beautiful hiking tracks within the premises and the nearby King's Mill Park... more

***Dining Room Review Only***

Came to Old Mill with Mum B. for my birthday dinner and thought it would be a classy place for two sophisticated ladies to enjoy intellectual conversation over a glass of wine. Well - the sophistication started and ended with us. The neighbourhood was where you would find "Old Money."

Upon arriving, we noticed that there was apparently a wedding going on. Just as... more

Stayed 1 night for a business mtg while in Toronto. A very nice hotel in an old mill. The room was very comfortable with high end linen and toiletries. My room also had a whirlpool tub which was a nice touch. I'd compare it to a Intercontinental or Westin as far as price.

Breakfast in the restaurant was good. Coffee was excellent.

Staff was friendly and would stay again next time I'm in... more

We were here on the weekend for a wedding. The garden area and building itself are really nice and large. This place as alot to offer and I love the fact that its so old and looks like it probably did back in the day. Now because we were here for a wedding we didnt see or use the spa/inn but i would like to check this out one day.

The food they had at the wedding was catered by the place and... more

Great place to get married. The place is grand, inviting, in the heart of the city and best of all, does not look like a wedding factory. Very flexible and helpful staff. Every room has character and the grounds are beautiful.

This has been a favourite place since the 1940's. It just keeps its tradition and keeps getting better. Arthur R

It was our four year anniversary and we couldn't quite afford the vacation we had in mind, so a staycation was just what the doctor ordered! After dining in at a Bloor St West restaurant (Bloom, awesome!) for Winterlicious we walked a bit in the snowfall and took the subway back to the Old Mill Inn.

We'd already registered earlier in the day, taking advantage of a Sunday Special which reduced... more

I can only review the spa as it's the only service I received on my visit there recently.
In fact I only had a facial. However,I am compelled to write a review as it was the best facial I ever had!
I am a very fair-skinned irish gal, prone to redness and blotchy patches.
I left there looking like a brand new, shiny-faced baby!
Even better, I woke up the next day after with a beautiful, even,... more

1) Sunday brunch is one of the best i've experienced. They have a wide range of selections and the food is tasty. Dress code is classy. There are mostly middle age people at this place.
2) The Spa experience could have been better. I spent the whole day there with a few of my friends and the products they use are good stuff, but the staff were more interested in reading your wallet to see if... more

Been here for:
- Afternoon tea
- Wedding reception

Pros
- quaint and old-style Victorian (sorry if my architecture references are wrong!) establishment; it's got a really nice, British vibe to everything (the decor, the way the place is set up etc.), and so it matches really well with what you're going to The Old Mill for.
- the outside gardens are nice for strolling around in; the restaurants... more

Lovely setting, reasonable wine list (although I wish they had more half bottles), adequate staff and a lovely meal. I had the lamb shank and it was delicious. Well done. Fell right off the bone! Price was reasonable for what you get.

Were going to get married! At first I absolutely dreaded the old Mill...why you ask? Well because I was on my way, in tuxedo (minus socks, Don Johnson was always a fan of mine), and I was minutes away from loosing my freedom as a single man!
As the sweat beaded down my neck through my collar and "clip on bow-tie", I had arrived! Arrived to face my destiny, and to one of the most beautiful... more

The Brunch is what I am reviewing, not the hotel.

1) Old people clamoring and elbowing for the lobster table is scary.

2) The chimney backed up and started spewing smoke. Mothers with babies sat in pearls trying to look unphased as they started asphyxiating. That's the kind of reserved elegance you are supposed to feel in this place. Hogwash. The staff stood around laughing. I ran for the... more

It looks deceptively small from the outside, but that's a trick of the landscaping. Old Mill has a big Tudor-style dining/dance hall, and it's clear why it's popular for weddings and other parites. They've got live Jazz some nights, but steer clear of the cover band, unless you want to see a lot of retirees shimmying to bad Beach Boys renditions.

I was last here for Summerlicious, and the meal... more

Excellent location for a getaway.

A lovely hideaway for a long weekend.? Love the beds!? No other hotel has the calibre of amenities.

Had a Christmas dinner here with a professional organization I belong to very nice food good ambiance as well.Its a nice place for a corporate function.

“This is a beautiful retreat hotel which allowed us to get away of the busyness of today's world. The hotel staff was attentive. The flower shop did not know how to handle a cash paying customer and ruined a surprise gift of flowers by calling the room early in the morning and demanding payment before they would deliver the flowers (even though a credit card was given at check-in). This ruined... more
