Area felt safe, although seemed to be a lot of drugs going on and homeless, but no trouble at all to me and my daughter. Places to eat were really nice. Cost great and staff really nice. Kitchen clean and free breakfast. Rooms ok although bit of repairs needed. I would say overall nice place to stay.

This hostel is in a very cool area that gives off 3rd world market vibes, with tons of great food stalls and cafes. The room itself was nice enough, but it was far too hot and the A/C didn't seem to work, so it was difficult to get a comfortable sleep.

First time being in a hostel after my original accommodation plans didn’t work out. I was worried about it being near a homeless shelter, but as someone who lives in Vancouver I wasn’t too phased by them. Glad to see measures such as requiring a card for after hours access. I felt safe, and the staff and other guests were friendly and respectful. There’s complimentary breakfast which is great, and lots of options within walking distance for dining out, or you can get groceries and cook your meals in the fully equipped kitchen if that’s more your thing. It’s close to major public transit routes which makes it easy to get from one area to another.

Friendly staff and clean hostel overall. Conveniently located in Kensington Market with access to numerous shops and restaurants. Free breakfast with bagels, fruit, and cereal included. Generally a slight walk most to transit stops requiring 1-2 connections to central tourist spots. The bunk beds are quite screechy and wobbly, the walls quite thin - so you won’t have the best sleep, definitely bring earplugs. Located next to a community housing/support centre - there are a lot of houseless folks nearby but they kept to themselves, don’t stay here if you have any problems with that. The hostel has many scan card access points for security.

Awesome place

First time staying at a hostel. Did not know what to expect , the Hostel is downtown Toronto . The staff was very friendly and informative. I arrived at 11 a.m and check-in is at 3 pm . The front desk reception gave me a temporary entrance key card to enjoy amenities while i waited for check-in. The lounge is very clean, airy, well decorated. Whole thru the hostel showed how well taken care . With world Travellers Walking around we were al respectful. The bedroom is very clean and fresh. 8 people to a room. The kitchen is very up to date and airy. I give this Hostel 100%. Exciting thing is where it is located. Right in downtown Food Market . Will for sure book it again. Happy travels everyone

exactly what you would expect from a hostel. Just be careful outside the property as there's a lot of homeless people. The free breakfast is a good treat as well.
