The location is great! The staff were really friendly and helpful. The pillow and mattress were actually very comfortable. The breakfast was simple but they had a non-dairy option for my cereal which is rare and much appreciated. The shower and bathroom was clean. The weekly events were well organized and fun! Definitely will be happy to stay here again next time I’m in Toronto.

Unfortunately I didn't get to experience the hostel and the cavern below as much as I would've liked to due to bad timing not the hostels fault as they had to take safety measures due to the Corona virus.
The hostel is super friendly and the rooms were clean, the bed was pretty comfy too. Breakfast was a nice bonus :) I would re book again in the future!

I stayed here twice and loved it each time! The breakfast is great (I especially loved the eggs!), location perfect and the staff members were always very helpful (special shoutout to Sabine, Ursa, Jake and Yasmin!). I also enjoyed all the tours they have. Overall an amazing place to stay at.

“Smelly in rooms, felt unsafe in 14 mixed dorm, can hear traffic from rooms.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The elevator,hallways and rooms smelt so horrible like wet dog. Do not recommend staying in 14 bed mixed dorms unless you like sleeping with a mixed of people and dont mind weird musty smells while you sleep.Got moved to another room because of an unpleasant person underneath my bunk, this other room smelt like socks and dog, the matress sunk in the middle, showers drain got blocked fast during shower. Its a sketchy area, can hear traffic from dorm room.
Maybe i would stay in a 4 bed female dorm for 2 nights max but it would be a last resort. I did like the safe in bed area and breakfast was resonable.

I didn’t have a good experience with the first room that I booked (6 bed male room), it was so dirty and the smell was really bad inside the room and in on the hallway as well, so I ended up upgrading my room to a 4 mixed room and it was the best thing ever, so clean, comfortable and with private bathroom👍🏼
Great location, the staff is friendly and very helpful and the bar activities during the night were cool, I meet amazing people there and enjoyed Toronto so much, I recommend this Hostel 👍🏼

“Cheap and active hostel well positioned downtown Toronto”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
There's a bar in the basement where there are music shows sometimes. We could hear everything from the room I had and thus it was not really nice for me because I needed to go to bed very early. Also they couldn't offer an early bird simpler breakfast for people waking up really early.
Well placed downtown Toronto. Also very close to the express train going to the airport. Lots of rooms and a big common kitchen which, combined with the bar downstairs, makes it easy to meet people!

“Location is good if you don't mind”

Our double private room was heated but the heating system wasn't very efficient (probably needs some maintenance). Shower takes over 3min to warmup in the winter (wastes a lot of cold water), the WC's door had a huge whole and wouldn't close properly (plus it was quite cold in the WC). Breakfast buffet is ok for a hostel but the coffee was bad and cold (we skipped their breakfast on the 2nd day and ended up spending more money at St Lawrence's market). The Cavern, place where breakfast is serves, had a lot of dust around - didn't make us feel very comfortable.
Location is a great reason to choose this place, walking distance from many highlights of the city, including St Lawrence Market. Staff was very helpful and kind - our flight was canceled and we had to change our reservation, which they did right away and without any extra costs. Customer service was great!
