Shared room. The other guests were pleasant. I was on the 2nd floor. Stairs only that I'm aware of. Secure entry. Awesome art on the walls! Close to coffee shops, bars, and stores. Walkable area.

Location was great! The room was a little rundown and very cold. The windows had poor insulation and we could hear a lot of street noise through them. When we called the staff about the temperature they quickly brought us some space heaters!

For the price this was a great little spot for the night. Room was cozy, had everything I needed for a one or two night stay and the location was pretty good. It was a bit of a hike to get down to the Scotiabank place where I was going but walking along Queen St was so much fun with so much to see that it was well worth it! Will definitely stay here again!

It was my first time staying there and genuinely its best if you are looking for a cheap, safe and centred in downtown Toronto! Its location I'd say is the best, near everything and you have a streetcar statiom literally in front of the hostel. Highly recommend it if you wanna get the maximum of enjoying outdoor activities and just wanna just the hostel for sleeping over and relax.

Unfortunately there was two of us and only one stool to sit and eat our meals. A cloth would have been useful to mop up spills on counter. Convenient for attractions etc. Beware very steep stairs to rooms!

It was warm in spring, so summer might get pretty hot. Also, it can be a noisy area. However, it's in a central area and we could walk everywhere from there. The sink in the washroom was rather small, but we had everything we needed for our vacation at a great price.
