Looking for a boutique hotel in that area to stay this month.
I want enough actions but still quiet enough to sleep at night?
 
Just ask for an upper floor room not near the elevators(sound can carry up them). Maybe not on the Queen st side as well.

I don't think there will be much difference noise wise between the two.
 
Both are hipster joints. Not really my scene.

Both are in the same hood.

I've never stayed in either, but I would imagine that the neighbourhood is lively enough with all the bars and patios.

I like Hotel Le Germain on Mercer. Lots of dining and entertainment options nearby.
 
What is the difference between the two? Which would you go?

I've never actually stayed at either. This is just a general feeling from having stayed in some urban older boutique hotels. Best bet is check trip advisor I think.

One thing about trip advisor when looking at reviews. I usually only give weight to those who have several reviews(sound familiar lol).
 
Gladstone has good food, excellent staff, unique rooms, and is closer to spots like Electric Mud and Grand Electric. Drake has smaller rooms, great brunch and likely appeals more to the ladies that will visit you. I prefer the Gladstone.
