It was warm in spring, so summer might get pretty hot. Also, it can be a noisy area. However, it's in a central area and we could walk everywhere from there. The sink in the washroom was rather small, but we had everything we needed for our vacation at a great price.

We did an overnighter in the spring to see a concert at the garrison. It was super convenient for location from union station as well as Billy bishop! Would recommend. Check in and checkout were super efficient. The only thing I’d recommend is double checking the doors lock behind you (esp your room. If the latch isn’t turned the right way your door is unlocked.). Absolutely not an issue at all though. Great value for price to be in downtown Toronto.

It was my first time staying there and genuinely its best if you are looking for a cheap, safe and centred in downtown Toronto! Its location I'd say is the best, near everything and you have a streetcar statiom literally in front of the hostel. Highly recommend it if you wanna get the maximum of enjoying outdoor activities and just wanna just the hostel for sleeping over and relax.

Terrible experience! Sink outside the bathroom - very unclean. Two bunk beds in one room. Noise disturbing my sleep. Worst part is the staff. There is a male Italian looking manager who mistreats guests. I had two trolleys he came down and started complaining and complaining right in front of my face to one of his colleagues saying “How do those people think” and using really disrespectful body language. He carried one trolley and yelled the f word. He then checked my booking and told me that I already booked with my friend - why does she not come and help instead with the bags. He later complains that I left my trolley bag inside the room open and starts a lecture with a smirk on his face threatening to make me leave. Terrible experience!

You’ll get what you paid for. It’s one of the cheapest accommodations in Toronto, but even compared to the cheapest hostels I’ve stayed at in other cities like LA Vancovuer, this was something else. The staff was really kind, though.

Good room, bad roommate.

It was fine enough. I don't expect much for $40 a night. However, no staff even stuck their head out the door to greet me, and I had a few issues with one of the women in the room. She stunk like she didn't even own a shower, thought the room was her own private one, and refused to shut the door or turn off lights unless I said something to her. I understand the issues inherent to rooming with other people, but the staff didn't seem to care she was causing an issue.

Will stay here again! Worth it for the price. We had a mix up with my date booked, and last minute the hotel and Expedia came through and changed our reservation without any issues! Thankful for that! A tad bit noisy because of its location and people in the hallway. But that’s to be expected honestly. Self check in was very easy, and it smelled very nice when you walk in. Booked this place on a whim and I’m glad we did :)
