The great thing abuot this place is the pool and weight room as well as the location is perfect for being downtown Toronto. It is a 2 min walk from younge street, if that. One downside is that the doors are locked after 11 pm and you have to get buzzed in to get back into the building. This is for security purposes I assume. The rooms are nothing special similar to a college dormatory and the bothrooms are not exactly well maintained but not unsanitary. If you are just looking for a place to stay without paying alot and want to be right downtown this is not a bad choice.

Character of the hotel and the location is excellent. However, the cleanliness is somewhat poor. Despite the fact of shared washrooms, dirty shared washrooms is even worse.

i would like to admire the location of the hostel ,its extroronary you will not believe it downtown close to most of the important places in the city so you can save a lot of money not using thee transportation as it is few minutes walk to the university,the museum,the cn tower,the dundas square ,the casa loma,and of course the mosque (masjed toronto) if you are a muslim like me,dont miss it its fab.

The only significant limitation to the room was there was only 1 electrical outlet - at least 2 is desirable - in my opinion - thanks

A clean, quiet, affordable place to stay downtown. I'll stay there again next year.

In the price that you gave me when I booked, where you mentioned: to be paid at arrival, the tax was not included, so in reality they made me pay about 12 dollars extra. I think you should present the real price in the booking, so that one is not surprised by additional tax charges on site. Staff was rather formal, not really helpful nor friendly

we were disappointed that the pool closed at 7:00 pm on sunday night-we were looking forward to a swim-what about extending the hours until 10:00 pm? Also a coffee machine in the lobby would be nice!
