GUESTIC at Queen West
Steps from Queen West's restaurant strip
About this hotel
GUESTIC at Queen West sits a minute's walk from Queen Street West at Palmerston Avenue, putting a family within easy reach of one of downtown Toronto's more walkable restaurant strips on evenings away from the water park. It is roughly nine minutes by taxi from the CN Tower, keeping the rest of the city's core attractions within a short ride, and close to Loei Thai Kitchen & Bar for a quick dinner without much planning. The property's location favours families who want to explore Queen West on foot between days at Therme Toronto rather than staying tucked away from downtown Toronto's street life. For a family splitting a trip between the water park and the rest of downtown Toronto, the location does most of the practical work.

Our take
I would suggest GUESTIC at Queen West to a family that values walking to dinner on the nights between Ontario Place visits, with the restaurants and shops of Queen West a minute away. It is a simple base in a lively neighbourhood, and the listing mentions no pool or on-site dining to fill a rest day. With a modest score from few reviews, families who want a proven hotel should look at the better-reviewed options on this page.
- ✓Walk Queen Street West in the evening after a park day, since restaurants and shops sit within a minute of the property.
- ✓Book a taxi rather than transit for the CN Tower run if travelling with young kids and gear.
- ✓Check in early enough to explore Palmerston Avenue before dinner on the first night.
Why we love it

Why guests love itGUESTIC at Queen West is a city address first: it sits a minute's walk from Queen Street West at Palmerston Avenue, so a strip of restaurants is on the doorstep, and the CN Tower is about nine minutes away by taxi. That makes evenings easy after a day at Ontario Place. The 7.2 score rests on only 12 reviews and the listing says little about the rooms, so I see it as a practical base rather than a highlight of the trip.
