Nothing the hostel could control, but in a dorm you have to expect some snoring, and some guests are not respectful of others, ie, talking loudly on the phone at 5:30 AM and letting your alarm clock run on for 30 seconds and turning the ceiling light on very early in the morning, ie 6:00 AM when all the others are still sleeping.

Breakfast was good, very good coffee, there was always a shower available, privacy curtains adequate, staff very friendly and helpful, good supply of towels and supplies in the shower, despite the notes you read in the "what I did not like" I would still stay there again, good value for the dollar

Only a maximum of two people can use the toilets on each floor

The check-in time was flexible and towels and hairdryers were provided.

The beds are not good - every move you make while lying down is making a huge noise, and you cannot even sit. The doors also are loud. The rooms were very small.

Breakfast was nice. The staff was very friendly, nice atmosphere. The location is great too, in Kensington market. The common areas are really nice and cosy, with books and smart TV.

When I checked out, the attitude of receptionist (a woman) was awful.

The reception was welcoming and helped me get a taxi to my destination in short time!

Mattress was terrible. Room next to men's bathroom and the closer on the door made it slam. Could be adjusted so less noise when closing.

Location, clean room and shared facilities, basic breakfast, quiet AC and staff. Also pillows were better than expected. Price for Toronto was a little more affordable than other options

While my stay was generally pleasant, there were a few aspects that could be improved. Each floor has only two showers, which often resulted in long queues. Additionally, some guests left their dirty towels in the shower room without a designated basket for disposal. It would be helpful if the staff included a rule asking all guests to keep the bathroom and shower facilities clean and tidy for others. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to implement a system to prevent the air conditioning from being turned off in the middle of the night, especially during a heatwave.

I thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and engaging atmosphere created by the staff. The complimentary breakfast from 8-10 am not only helps save on an extra dining expense but also provides an excellent opportunity to socialize with fellow travelers. The establishment has clear rules, which are thoughtfully provided in writing for easy reference. Any minor issues are addressed promptly by the attentive staff. Upon arrival, we received a key card that grants access to the building, the staircase, the floor, and our room. This multi-layered security made me feel extremely safe and worry-free throughout my stay.

The beds make noises

Close to the tram station

The curtains around the beds aren't installed well and the supports are wonky and flimsy. The bed was comfortable, but climbing onto the top bunk felt very precarious. The bunkbeds are cheaply constructed and when climbing up the ladder, the whole bed moves significantly and feels like it's going to fall apart.

Nice and generous continental breakfast. Building is well maintained, with comfortable shared spaces for working in/relaxing in. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Nothing!

A pretty good hostel! The staff were all friendly, the whole facilities were kept super clean, I felt secure with the card key. I had to get something done and was able to stay in the common room until 2am using wifi. They even provided a quick breakfast, which I liked it!

Kitchen was closed for refurbishment which was a shame. Shower rooms were a bit run down for the amount of people using them, beds were comfortable enough but quite squeaky on the top bunk bed.

Fabulous location in a very cool neighborhood, easy to get to downtown Toronto and attractions within about 30 minutes. Breakfast was good, just some coffee, cereals and bagels but a nice option. Price was ok, it was as expected for the value.

Booking men in an advertised all female dorm. The worst guest was a guy from India who started talking loudly on the phone about 7:00am. It didn't seem to bother him when we all woke up and gave him the stink eye.

The staff and guests were friendly and polite. Until they started putting men in our dorm. I did book an all female room, so this was shocking.

The bathrooms could have been cleaner. The price is a little pricier for a hostel. The area is good in the day, but solo travelling as girls, we would be cautious at night.

Good location! Rooms were pretty big! We had a great view of the CN tower! The staff were very friendly!

No elevators. The breakfast room was hard to find. The outlets were at the same level as when you slept, so you hit them while sleeping. There are no side tables to keep your stuff on in your sleeping area.

They included towels and toiletries. They offered privacy curtains. Great location and safety. Very clean and hip

Enjoyed my stay, toilets bit small

Friendly environment & free breakfast

The bed I stayed in on the first night looked like someone had slept in it but it had not been cleaned. A water bottle also left on the bed. I told the staff but they only agreed to clean the bed for me in the morning. Unfortunately they also didn't clean the my bed the next day either.

Good Breakfast and location

Location. Although there are restaurants nearby, there’s a lot of homeless people. Supermarkets are far away, and it’s 30 minute walking from the city center. Also there’s no place inside the building with comfortable seats to chill. Tables, chairs and wooden couch are very uncomfortable. No elevator with 4 floors was a bit uncomfortable as well.

Bunk beds with privacy curtains, clean sheets and bathrooms.
