Toronto hostels

Cons: If it has big locker for small luggage or backpack, it would be great.

Pros: Greatest hotel

Pros: staff, well organized place, location

Cons: the building is pretty old

Pros: The location of the property is very convenient

Cons: There is very little privacy in the rooms themselves; there are no curtains around the beds and adding those could really improve the traveller experience.

Pros: I really enjoyed all the different activities hosted by the friendly and engaged staff members. Thank you - Robin, Maddy and Bryony - for the unforgettable time!

Pros: Location was good. Staff (one woman) very friendly and helpful.

Cons: The place was dirty, run down, no door on the bathroom and I could hear every word of occupants in room next to me until 2am, making sleep very frustrating.

Pros: In good location. Clean room. Comfy bed. Nice staff.

Cons: Small shower and heater not working properly-room a little bit cold.

Pros: No breakfast but the location was great.

Cons: It's nice to have some body soap for the shower!

Cons: I had requested a room on the main floor as I have difficulty with stairs and this was confirmed in an email. However, When I arrived the only available room was up a narrow, steep flight of stairs I had trouble with during my stay. Staff did assist with luggage.

Pros: location

Cons: Room was small. Floor covered with long course strands of black hair...ughh. Parking cost $15 US +TAX? Cheaper to park on street.Small spot behind building in lane way..couldn't fit my vehicle...couldn't get refund. Iron gate to street and walkway to UNLOCKED DOOR soaking wet due to roof leakage and extremely poor lighting. Far too expensive for what you get. Never go there again.

Pros: It was very neat. The location was okay. The staff were polite and helpful.

Cons: The room was too hot, the window couldn't be opened and there was not any central aircondion in the building! The steps were too narrow.

Pros: Very good breakfast, great location and good to have privacy!

Cons: Bed was not the most comfortable and check in is really late!

Pros: The hostel was very friendly and the private rooms were a bonus. The rooftop is a great spot to watch the sunset from. The location was also very good - well connected with public transport and within walkable distance from the city centre.

Cons: The kitchen had no facilities for making food - only fridge and a sink available for use (no pots/pans/cutlery/crockery). The building is quite old and run down which meant that the rooms and bathrooms were also very basic but mostly clean.

Pros: Only the location is good.

Cons: the curtain is very short and covering only half of the window so you wake up ever day at 5:30 AM from the strong lights of the sun and you can't continue sleeping. I asked the staff 2 times about the curtain but they didn't care at all and they promise to fix it but they didn't do it for total of my 6 days stay. I'm very disappointing about this. Staff very careless and no supervisor or manager in this hostel. Also I asked 2 times about tour for niagara falls and the Chinese staff in reception she don't know even the timing of the bus pick up and return and she don't know even the price how much, while toronto city tour they advise me to book from my hotel directly because is more cheap but unfortunately this staff same like other ones very unqualified to be at that position and not competent. Breakfast in the same everyday and no varieties at all. One of the girls serving the breakfast she is rude. The only good staff the Turkish guy who assist me to put my luggage. I don't like also curfew timing at 11 pm. There is other problem the door of toilet always blocked and I reported that but they didn't fix it at all. The housekeeping is very bad. They don't even change your towel or do proper cleaning....no comments at all.... I don't recommend u to stay here despite is near place to the center. U can find cheaper places and much better. This staff need someone who manage them well and need more organization and focusing on details.

Pros: The only advantages I like are the location and price.

Cons: The cleanliness condition was not very good.

Pros: It was cheap and basic, which was all that I needed and expected at this price. There was not much disturbance from other guests due to solid construction and a steel door. No problems with check-in & -out and easy coming and going. They allowed me slightly earlier access to breakfast one day, when I had an early pick-up (excursion). View of the CBD although partly blocked by desk - see below.

Cons: The room was in poor condition: shaky electrical sockets; sliding window that was extremely stiff and single glazed (letting in street noise) with a rotted sill; door didn't close unless slammed. Furniture didn't fit the room: the bed had a wooden frame making it too wide (tending to obstruct the door), and the desk had an upstand, partly blocking the window. It was (as expected) a student study-bedroom, but poorly planned and maintained.

Pros: Close proximity of downtown Toronto!

Cons: Security is totally laxed , unprofessional & rubbish!!!!

Pros: It was clean.

Cons: It was a decent place to crash for the night and a good value for the price. It didn’t have the comfort of a hotel and was very small (barely enough room for the bed) but it had its own bathroom and shower that was clean. There were no sheets on the bed and there was a strange second door in our room that led to another room. The front entrance is sketchy with instructions written in magic marker on green painter’s tape eveywhere you look. Our key was sitting in the front entrance in an envelope unlocked so I guess anyone could’ve taken it so I don’t know how reliable this system is but it worked out ok for me.

Pros: Close to UofT and Chinatown

Cons: I had to call the police on another guest. Staff did nothing.

Pros: The guy who sat on the porch was very nice

Cons: Rundown, spray painted building at the end of an alley. It's a low end hostel at best. Creeky futon bed frame with thin mattress pad was unpleasant. The room had a window hole without a window that they just stuffed a pillow in to keep the critters out. Glue traps for squirrels mice and birds covered the floor under the bed.

Pros: Safe area and very closed to shops and restaurants.

Cons: Asking guest to remove their shoes on entering their rooms is not polite.

Pros: The location. It was close to Spadina av.

Cons: It is an old storage that has been converted in room. I have stay in hostel more clean, secure and with bigger rooms. Honestly the fridge that it is in the room was smelling bad and Making noise all nice. There was dust in the fan and microwave. The bathroom was ok. The beds were uncomfortable and one of the draps has holes on it.... The location is ok... But other than... I won't recommended.

Pros: Guy showed up late night, really appreciate it.

Cons: No water, no breakfast

Pros: Always like to stay here but our last stay was very horrific!

Cons: There was a woman in the room next to us in the basement who harassed my partner and I, she was waving around a knife and yelling at us saying that she was supposed to be the only one staying in the basement. She bean asking us many personal questions and tried to intimidate us... I will not be coming back to this place anymore.

Pros: It was alright for what you pay for it. I didn't like how unorganized it was but it wasn't too bad.

Pros: This place is a cesspool. Better you don't list it on your website.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Room wasn’t clean when checked in at 11am. Left for the day came back still room not cleaned yet at 9pm. I had my room over a ground level club playing pounding loud music in till 2 AM. Breakfast was poor, no coffee made, and other selections poor. I booked this room as a step above a hostel, ended up being the worst place I stayed ever. There was damage to an adjacent room, forced door not repaired. Wet paint signs everywhere, not too bad for fumes but I wasn’t there long. Room didn’t have a window or skylight

Pros: Nothing

Cons: This hotel was a disaster. The room was awful, there was police at the hotel looking for someone staying there . I had a very bad experience .

Pros: The breakfast was good and the shower hot. Well, do you need anything more than a bed, a roof over your head a shower and a breakfast? No, you don`t

Cons: The bathrooms have been pretty dirty.

Pros: I checked out the very next day and found another hotel close by. But at least the staff was nice and friendly.

Cons: Dirty sheets, smoking in rooms and not ADA, lots of stairs, very noisy, filthy bathroom. Overall, just unpleasant.

Pros: Location was easy to get to and from downtown and had lots of takeaway restaurants around including good pizza across the street. The owner upgraded my room because I waited 20 mins for someone to show up to check me in.

Cons: Loud, cold with only a thin blanket, security door never locked

Pros: The location was great

Cons: The pictures on the website are from great angles, the rooms are horrible. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. The bathroom was filthy the entire stay. I felt like things were crawling on me in the room and there for alarm kept going off

Pros: Clean, quiet, friendly staff. Good location, although sketchy neighbourhood.

Cons: Reception and hotel are not directly connected. Air conditioning worked and then didn't. Walls are pretty thin! (Someone in the next room snored loudly, but maybe I did the same, later.)

Pros: I didnt like anything because I wasn't even checked into my room

Cons: No one was there to check me in and my room was already paid for.

Pros: The owners were polite and very welcoming

Cons: the shared bathroom was untidy...breakfast wasnt very complimentary ...missing covers on outlets

Pros: Location is good; the one staff member we saw at all was trying her best

Cons: Very dirty bathrooms; sad free breakfast; lock on first room we were in was held loosely on by screws, a shove would have opened it, had to change rooms; rooms not sound proof at all; parking spot not guarantees; overall did not feel very safe

Cons: Not clean
