Frommer's Review
This hotel explores the far reaches of minimalism, and design aficionados will likely love it. With raw, monumental concrete walls and brushed-steel work surfaces, Gault's structural austerity is stark, but tempered by lollipop-colored reproductions of mod furniture from the 1950s and blonde woods which keep things more playful than chilly. The large bedrooms on its five floors are all loft-style and large (the smallest are 29 sq. m/310 sq. ft.), and employ curtains instead of walls to define spaces. Bedding comes from the high-end Italian company FLOU, and hypoallergenic pillows are available. The first floor's "Existential" rooms feature the highest ceilings. Tubs aren't available in all rooms, but plush robes are. The sleek lobby, with its massive arched windows, also functions as a bar/cafe/breakfast area. Nonguests may want to set aside one morning for the generous C$20 (£10) brunch.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
