Friendly staff and clean hostel overall. Conveniently located in Kensington Market with access to numerous shops and restaurants. Free breakfast with bagels, fruit, and cereal included.
Generally a slight walk most to transit stops requiring 1-2 connections to central tourist spots.
The bunk beds are quite screechy and wobbly, the walls quite thin - so you won’t have the best sleep, definitely bring earplugs.
Located next to a community housing/support centre - there are a lot of houseless folks nearby but they kept to themselves, don’t stay here if you have any problems with that. The hostel has many scan card access points for security.

Awesome place
First time staying at a hostel. Did not know what to expect , the Hostel is downtown Toronto . The staff was very friendly and informative. I arrived at 11 a.m and check-in is at 3 pm . The front desk reception gave me a temporary entrance key card to enjoy amenities while i waited for check-in.
The lounge is very clean, airy, well decorated. Whole thru the hostel showed how well taken care . With world Travellers
Walking around we were al respectful. The bedroom is very clean and fresh. 8 people to a room. The kitchen is very up to date and airy. I give this Hostel 100%. Exciting thing is where it is located. Right in downtown Food Market . Will for sure book it again. Happy travels everyone

Very lovely stay at the hostel, we had no trouble with checking in and the front staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable (good ac!). The bathrooms and shower are good and we rarely ran into people (the bathrooms more than the shower), both were clean and had the basics whenever we needed. They gave me and my partner each a key card which was very appreciated. The breakfast also was very nice, many options. Thank you so much for the stay.

Good location for downtown Toronto. Private room was clean, shared showers could have been cleaner but overall okay! Free breakfast was a good, they also had oat milk for coffee/cereal which was appreciated! Hairdryers were available from reception. The hostel is opposite a homeless shelter so lots of people hanging around all day/night, we didn’t necessarily feel unsafe though due to this but did take extra care especially at night. The street itself was very lively during the day and there were bars etc. busy at night.
