The bed are made with only one sheet, wich means that you have only one blanket to cover yourself. I found that a bit disgusting. The smell in the room was not very enjoyable. Plus, there is not closed bathroom, which make me feel akward when i took my shower. The staff is not very smily neither helpful. They are doing the bare minimum. But, when you talked to them personnaly they helped me for everything I asked for. I gueess you have to be one to smile at them. Which seem a bit strange,since t

As far as the living space, this is basically a large apartment complex. But that's not to say that there's anything bad about that. The location is PERFECT. Just down the street from the Kindred Cafe and other cool places. Loved Toronto, loved being able to stay so close to the center of everything! If i do go back (which I plan on doing) I will definitely stay here again (unless of course beautiful Heather lets me stay with her instead :)

Cannot give an opinion for the various activities provided as my time was short. I was however impressed with the whole organization and hope to have the opportunity to stay longer next time

Great price and great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Good place to stay if you just want a room by yourself. Bathroom and kitchens were clean. Not exactly a social place though and it lacks the character normally found in backpackers. But I highly recommend it if you want a cheap, secure and clean place to stay.

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 plac

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.

Please advice!!

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

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
