About Jarvis House
Jarvis House is a B&B with ten guest rooms housed in a beautiful Victorian setting near Toronto's Church and Wellesley district.
Bay windows, ornate crown moulding, wood flooring, private bathrooms, and generous four-poster Victorian style beds are featured in each room.
Recent upgrades have made the building soundproof, so noise from the downtown area does not disrupt guest’s stay. Free parking is available, and the host is happy to arrange tours or answer questions about the area.
Just a short walk from Jarvis House, is a modern bistro-style restaurant called Blake House, as is Keg Mansion, which is well known for its seafood and steak selections.
University of Toronto St. George Campus, Toronto Eaton Centre, and the Ed Mirvish Theatre are all less than 1.5kms away. The Hockey Hall of Fame, Air Canada Centre, CN Tower, and Rogers Centre (SkyDome) are all within 4km from the property.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Don't Expect Breakfast
Despite being advertised as a B&B, this location no longer serves breakfasts. Many guests were upset because they were not informed of that prior to making their reservations. So, be aware that you will have to go to local cafes or restaurants for all meals, including breakfasts, during your stay.
negative:
There is No Lift Available
This B&B has several floors, and there is no lift. Also, since the parking is in the back, you will have to haul your luggage around the entire building, inside, and up the stairs to your room. Several guests were upset that staff members did not help them with luggage and the stairs were quite steep.
negative:
The Air Conditioning is Not Strong Enough
Many guests have commented that the air conditioning at this hotel can't be controlled in the individual rooms and doesn't seem strong enough to cool the rooms down adequately.
