  • Overall was very good, although the pillows left something to be desired. Location and staff were out of this world, couldn't have been better!

  • Only minor issue was that there was no soundproofing, so I could hear the traffic on King and Spadina all night.

  • Probably one of the worst Hostels I have ever stayed in. The rooms were okay, but the bathrooms and the showers were filthy beyond anything ive come across before. Showers badly stained, used condoms laying in the shower for the whole duration of my stay. I felt more unclean AFTER my shower than before.
