The staff were all very friendly and helpful on our arrival which really set the tone for this place. The two communal areas on the main level and down stairs felt quite comfortable and had a real home feel to them. I found myself meeting some great people while just hanging out in these areas. We went on a pub... More

Located between old and new Toronto. Has an excellent cafe which serves good quality breakfast and dinner. The bathroom is very small, especially in the private room which is quite spacious. More

This is the worst Hostelling International I've ever stayed at. The 10 bed dorms feels a bit like a refugee camp and the shared bathrooms are not able to cope with the demand. Most guests are long term residents and dominate the communal areas and the dorm rooms. There seemed to be theft going in the hostel as well, with... More

I absolutely love this hostel, there's something about it that makes it so welcoming and homely. The staff were wonderful, so helpful and would go out of their way to make my stay comfortable. They can recommend things to see and do, and there's usually a weekly time table of hostel events where you can meet other travelers. I ate... More

Brilliant hostel, very friendly staff. Can't really say a bad thing about this place to be honest, I thought it was very clean, and great facilities. The restaurant food was pretty good too. More

This place has friendly and knowledge staff. Gret funky music playing all around the hostel and a great fully equipped kitchen. The TV room was a little uncomfortable - perhaps a new sofa! but all good. Great location and good value internet $3 an hour - not to bad :) More

Another fantastic HI hostel. Top location, easy to walk around the city, handy for subways and other public transport too. The free breakfast that you get when you book the smaller rooms (I stayed in a quad) was phenomenal. Basic English (bacon, egg, toast, beans, potato and toast with tea or coffee), pancakes, French toast etc. If you don't fancy... More

The location is excellent - very close to St Lawrence Market and about 10 min walk to the Eaton Centre. King Station on the subway is just round the corner. Staffed by other travelers who are pretty knowledgable about the area and organise activities everyday. Bathrooms were very clean and spacious - showers were separate little rooms. Stayed in a...
