- “ I was there for a low budget business trip. The hostel was very well located and easy access. Clean and staff friendly. I like that there were charming different buildings. I felt like I was going to my own little appartement downtown. It was very quiete. I didn't even see anybody else than my business partner on our floor. I loved my stay. ”

- “ I LOVED THIS HOSTEL! It is so quirky and awesome and it's very social, which I loved. Not necessarily "party all the time" social but there were always people around to chat with. A lot of people here seem to be on working holiday visas - they were basically moved in to the dorm. You get a free pancake breakfast in the morning. They provide sheets and a towel. Bathroom was nice, adjacent to dorm room. I stayed in 3 hostels on this trip and this was my favorite. I'll definitely return! ”

- “ If you are, like me, a traveller who visits to see the city and who doesn't necessarily wants to party, this might not be the place for you to stay. "Quiet time" has to be put into perspective. The hostel itself is a great place, though! Loved the pancake breakfast :-)). ”

- “ The 4-bed dorm was in a nice charming old house, not in an institution-like building that big city hostels often are in. Toast, coffee, and a 1 hour internet usage coupon were nice bonuses. ”

- “ I am used to small hostels. This one is BIG! And it was great...at age 63, I overcame my recent fear of top bunk climb! My roommates were super for New Years Eve, as was the staff. ”

- “ The only thing I had a problem with was identifying which bed in the dorm was mine - the one I ended up in looked like it was already occupied (unfolded duvet on bed, I guess I'm a bit picky) ”

- “ First time in this Hostel and I absolutely loved it. I live in the city and had visit for one night and left them my bachelor which is rather small so I stayed here. After my experience here, I'll come back once in a while even if there's no one staying at my place. :) . Great place and great staff. ”

- “ I was satisfied during this stay If I had to make little suggestion, it would be including a small table inside rooms so that we can put some stuff on it ”

- “ I had a double room for myself. The room was small, provided a table, 1 chair, 2 coathangers. If you spend more than 2 nights there with 2 people, it will be extremely tight. The room was surrounded by washrooms, 2 opposite, 2 above. Since people took (understandably) showers late at night and early in the morning there was constantly a very high noise level: Slamming doors from opposite and water pipes from above. I liked the place, but find 80 CAD pretty expensive for what you get. ”

- “ A great experience, not just a place to stay. Helpful, friendly and fun staff. Warm and comfortable atmosphere with loads of character and great common areas. Plus there are all the facilities a traveller needs - ample bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen facilities, laundry, plain and comfortable beds and rooms, nightly hostel social events, plenty of power outlets for using hostel-wide but slightly slow wifi and a big pancake breakfast every morning. All up, Canadiana life is just better. ”

- “ The staff was very helpful. Hostel is located in the heart of Toronto and is close to many important sights. However, rooms are old and when you want to go to bathroom at night you will wake up the whole hostel. Doors and floor creak very badly.Excellent thing is that wifi is available in your own room! All my recommendations, you will enjoy your stay. ”
