We would like to go there in August. It should be in town and child-friendly. Thanks!

I would recommend staying near the Eaton Center in downtown. It is on the subway and near shopping and many restaurants.

I agree with Heilarg about looking for somewhere close to the subway lines, as public transit is definitely the easiest and cheapest way to get around. It's a flat fare of $3 per person (children under 12 travel free), no matter how long your trip and includes any transfers between buses, streetcars and subway on your journey. There are also cheaper day or weekly passes. Check out TTC.ca for details. Public transit is very safe, I use it every day. If you have young children, a short stay apartment might work well for you and be cheaper than eating in restaurants all the time. As SueB suggests, Airbnb is a good site to check, also TripAdvisor - just Google "short stay Toronto." You could also consider some of the corporate short stay companies like DelSuites - Google "corporate suites Toronto." Many are in the downtown area, which would be ideal. Don't stay near the airport - it's too far from the places you'll want to visit. I used to live in Dubai, and currently live in Toronto, so happy to answer any of your questions. Have a wonderful trip :)

it will be quite busy here due to festivals and PanAm games. I would suggest staying somewhere along the TTC lines. You can also have a look on kijiji.com

what part of Toronto. What is you budget. try www.booking.com they seem to have the best prices, hotel.com have the worst. You can also try www.airbnb.com people rent out their homes or condos. I used it for 3 days and not bad at all. With kids it might be good but no pools etc. downtown is more expensive. Are you renting a car?
