About Guildwood
Where to stay in Guildwood
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Guildwood is a neighbourhood within Scarborough, and the reason to sleep out here rather than in downtown Toronto is the train: Guildwood GO Station puts the Lakeshore East line and Via Rail Corridor services on the doorstep. Kingston Road runs past it.
