Just the basics that you need and location was fantastic. Easy to check in, come and go as you please, and didn't hear noise from the other rooms! Air conditioner was on when we got there so room was nice and cool even in 30c + humidity.

The bathroom situation may be uncomfortable for some that are sharing the room as it's just some glass panels and a shower curtain for privacy for the shower and toilet. Bed frames are old and squeaky and could use some more pillows. Air conditioner is a little noisy.

The location is awesome, right on the coolest street in Toronto. (look for the A&W sign). its a super funky/artsy neighborhood with tons of international foods and near the vintage shop mecca Kensington Market. I could easily contact the owner and he personally made sure I had everything I needed/wanted. Price was stupid cheap. All female room was great and only four other ladies, and hte bathroom/shower was right there in the suite.

the toilet is in the shower stall, so if someone is showering no one else can use the toilet. but its only 4 ppl sharing so it isn't a big deal.

The place is very well located, near China Town and Kensington Market. The dorm was small but clean and the bed comfortable. It was perfect for two nights.

The location. Was in the middle of one of. The busiest streets in Toronto. Access to anything you needed and excellent transport. The rooms are warm and clean and showers were very good.

This venue does not have a kitchen. All your eating is done out and about so it can be expensive.

Loved the location right down on Queen St away from the busy downtown area. We could easily walk anywhere we wanted! Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Bed was comfortable, room was a decent size.

It had a kitchenette area but all the cupboards were empty. The place wasn’t dirty or unclean, but it felt a little run-down.

The room was very clean, it had a small fridge that we weren't expecting, so that was nice. Also the AC worked very well. The entrance with code system was very useful to allow us to get in and now without bothering anyone. The location was very good, close to bus stops, metro and also next to several stores for eating and buying supplies. The internet connection was great and the water heating worked everytime.

The mattress was very thin so it wasn't the most comfortable for sleeping.

I was in mix dorm, and there was a bathroom in the room, that was cool :) the location is also excellent, in a vibrant area with plenty of food and always something happening. good connection to the Union station. the staff was super friendly and helped me with baggage 😍

would be nice to have lockers in the room. all was safe for me, but still. also as for hostel- having common area would be best, but I guess thats not possible in this building

I didn’t know that there was a breakfast? Unless that was a prompt statement lol. I enjoyed the comfort of the mattress and that the room looked more modern that the photos I saw online. I liked that we had a mini fridge and microwave in the room and how tidy both the room and bathroom were.

I’m 5 ft 10 and I couldn’t sit on the bottom bunk without hunching my back so my head didn’t hit the top bunk so unless I was laying down, this was uncomfortable at times. It’s not really a dislike though, I still had a pleasant stay.

Good location, great for one person stay.

Had an initial problem with the code for the door as there is no physical reception area
