It is nothing fancy, but a clean budget option for a short stay in Toronto.

My daughter's arms,back,stomache&hands covered with bites. Went to see a doctor. Doctor said they are bed bug bites. I found bed bugs on my pillow. Room not cleaned during stay until I show pillow w/bed bugs. Common washrooms & kitchen minimal cleaning. Paid $180/night thru Expedia. Other guests booked with hostel website paid $125/night. Exact same room (2 double beds) w/ 2 guests. Will NOT book thru Expedia in future. Difference too high. Will book with property directly.

Did not give the room that was requested and claimed my credit card declined. Was stuck in a very small bedroom with limited space for lugguage to be unpacked. Bed was very itchy and uncomfortable. Rude and unwelcoming staff. Terrible stay.

It is located in convenient place. You can access bus stop and metro station. Plugs are little old so one time it unpluged during night.

The service was poor, the front desk forgot to give us the key and also weren’t attentive when contacted prior through both messaging and call.

Toronto is an expensive city for hotels anywhere near the downtown area. This place while expensive for a hostel is close to downtown, only 3 minutes from the sherborn subway station. There is a McDonald’s and large cheap supermarket across the street. Also many restaurants nearby. I had a private room which was clean and comfortable although dark. The manager was very nice

The hostel is good. It’s well-located, close to the subway and Bloor. The area is clean and the kitchen has all that is needed for a quick meal. The problem was that on the first night, they put us in a room that had a solar roof and you couldn’t close it up. So by morning, the room was all bright as if the sun was in the bed. We complained and at first, they said they couldn’t do anything. Later that day, we talked to another staff member and they moved us to a very good large room. We stayed there for almost the entire period, but then on the day before checkout, they told us that we had to move since they’d booked the room we were in. They said it was because I had booked a double room but was in a twin bed room. We didn’t choose the rooms. I booked from my country and I couldn’t possibly have known about the rooms. Also, the later room we stayed in didn’t have air conditioning. When we asked about that, they said it was central AC. I couldn’t sleep that night because of the heat. In summary, it’s well-located and we mostly liked our stay there but given what happened, I wouldn’t come back.

Standard triple with private bathroom was excellent. Staff excellent. Access to all areas of toronto excellent. Quiet. Safe. Metro 5 minutes away. Wifi good. Price cheap by Toronto standards but remember its a hostel not a hotel ( though pretty close). Kitchen facilities excellent. Would stay again. Better value than a hotel. Which are a rip off in Toronto.

It’s not in the best area but neither was the location bad. It’s a budget no frills option so expectations should be at that level but I can’t fault my stay. I had a twin room with a shared bathroom and shared well appointed kitchen. Sharing was no hassle, the building and room was clean and in good order, plenty hot water with good water pressure, quiet, beds were comfortable, the room had a working but quiet modern aircon, staff were friendly and you could come and go whenever you wanted. The metro was close by. There was no street parking for non residents unless you want to risk $150 fine and given the vulture like regularity of the parking enforcement attendants that’s a certainty - but there is an option for a secure garage space. Contact staff at the time of booking and check if it’s available. It will cost $20 per day, Well worth it. Highly recommend.

The staff were very helpful, the house was overall clean and calm

The area was safe. My only complaint is having so little space for showering.

This place is good enough for my needs. Clean and close to everything. Would recommend and I’ll definitely go back

My friend and I stayed for a week. We made friends and had a good time .. highly recommend

Veryimited eating places apart from our quite dark bedroom. Reprimanded for sitting out side at the back on the steps, the only place to eat comfortably.

Quiet place.

The room was very small and one shower was of average size. There were two showers that were also very small.

I really appreciate the nice staff, the property feels safe too!

Very convenient location & nice staff. Mattress was hard, but tolerable. My room was above the front door & near the stairs so it could get loud as people were coming & going, but I got use to it. For the price & location I can't complain.

The property is very clean and the temperature of water in the showers can be controlled perfectly. Property is conveniently located near mini mall and is centrally located in residential neighborhood close to transit.

The man who was working on the morning of May 1 was rude and wasn’t helpful. There was not enough toilet paper for the people that were staying and I had to go ask for more toilet paper many times during my stay. The man that I mentioned above didn’t help me with it but just told me to go check the other bathrooms with a bad attitude. It was morning, so many people were using the bathrooms and I ended up not getting any paper when I needed it. Using the bathroom is a daily necessity and because of that, my stay there was very stressful and unpleasant. The man who helped us check in on April 28 was nice and helpful.

Great location. Great on-site staff. But they do overbook. They had a gentleman sleeping in the common area. So i felt it was inappropriate for me to use the area that I had paid for while the gentleman was sleeping. I also had requested a lower bunk. When I got the hostel, they said I would have to change rooms for that, and it would cost me $20. This is not a charge I should have to pay, since I asked fir it, prior to check in.

Three of us spent the weekend here for the same price a hotel would charge for one night. The rooms were clean, the water pressure in the bathroom isn't great but had hot water and a hair dryer. No toiletries so bring your own. Kitchen had supplies for preparing basic meals. A stones throw away from the subway station. Walls are thin so bring earplugs if neighbors snoring bothers you. We would happily stay here again.

bad treatment from the hotel staff.

Proximity to Bloor Street, a mall across from property, easy to drive to from expressway, clean washrooms, parking options, nice upscale neighborhood

Parking issues

The parking permit is convenient. The staff if friendly and helpful. The kitchen and bathrooms are clean. The location is close to shops and restaurants on Bloor street and there is a grocery store just steps away.

The hostel was priced reasonably. It is an older facility with some small dings and chips here and there. But the thing is it's clean - you could eat off the floor and that made it for me. There's a retail mall across the street with a No Frills and a pharmacy. A one week street parking pass is $50.

Everything is near the property like supermarkets and restaurants.

Never coming back here

It was really. The location only 3 minutes away from subway stn. And 10.minutes away from yonge street. Clean room and fully wifi service. Nice staff.

The guys that run it are great .Joseph was very friendly and helpful a joy to talk to .Adam the owner was a amazing person very friendly and sociable.
