I'm full of bed bugs bites! It's a big problem, you have to do something about it. Please call a specielized cleaning service. Neverthless, the position is very good, near to the metro and the city center.

I was at Global Guest House for a week in April (for a conference at U of T) and I really enjoyed my experience there. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable and warm, and the location was perfect for the University of Toronto. Lots of nice places to eat in the vicinity. I slept well and...

The global guest house is located right next door to the Spadina station of the TTC - this makes it really easy to get practically anywhere in town because the Spadina station has bus connections, streetcar connections and both of the Toronto subway lines. The rooms are also very well priced. Don't expect a lot of frills if you're going,... More

If you are looking for a great place to stay in the heart of downtown on a budget, you can't go wrong here. The subway is right next door and the house is surprisingly quiet too. The artistic charming rooms are spacious which is a rarity for such well priced guest houses I have encountered in other countries.

From the moment we arrived we loved this place. We stayed there with a large group for Canadian Music Week and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. It is in an EXCELLENT location literally right beside the subway station, so we could quickly get anywhere we wanted to. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the architecture of the... More

If you want quick access to all the great things toronto has to offer, this is the place to stay. Located right beside the main subway station of Toronto, you can get ANYWHERE FAST! Great neighborhood with lots to do and see. Very cozy, charming rooms, fresh and clean. Overall I had a great stay!

Stay at Global Guesthouse at your Peril. Although conveniently located in the Annex/downtown area, this is where the positives stop. Myself and my girlfriend stayed here for 16 nights, we have recently moved to Toronto from Ireland and thought this would be the perfect place to base ourselves until we found an apartment. Upon our arrival the office was closed,... More

I am the owner and I was not aware that this review was posted. I am very concerned about this as it is absolutely not what we are about. We take pride in our guest house which has been operating continuously since 1953 ( 60th year) and which I personally have been running for 16 years. So let me respond... More

Not recommended if you suffer from a dust allergy. Extreemly handy for the Spadina metro/streetcar/bus interchange. Best feature is the wonderfully comfortable squashy sofa in my room but I understand the rooms are to be renovated so I expect this will go then. Yhe kitchen is useful for stretching budgets.
