2 flights of steep and small steps. The back of my legs are scratched up. My shower was dirty, floor in shower looked un washed. Mold on the shower curtain. No where/shelf to put soap etc in the all in one wet room shower/toilet/sink room. The air conditioner kept not working and it was 39 degrees and mid 20s through the night. The secondary lock wouldn’t work. The area was very sketchy. A lot of dirt, homeless people. Our doorway smelt like sewage every day. I could keep going. I have pictures of you need to see them.
Shower knob fell off
See the dirty floor?
That’s pink mold there

Disliked: Room comfort
To be fair, I am not in the practice of staying in hostels, but the price was so good that I found my finger selecting the option to book it. I stayed for two nights which I regretted. The first night was rough. I shared the room with 3 other females and was assigned a bunk bed which was also a new experience for me. The positive aspect of this place is that it is right in the downtown centre….the negative, it is right in the downtown centre! The music of the night included several sirens, honking and the odd motorcycle trying to show off how big his engine can sound. These are the sounds of the night that were shockingly not overpowered by the extremely loud fan/air conditioner? Not sure which one it was because it appeared to be an air conditioner, but the room was unbearably hot- this is coming from someone who is always cold! Bottom line, you get what you pay for, location is great, would not stay here again because I value my sleep.

We booked a private room not a dorm: Pros: very helpful friendly staff, private bathroom, mini fridge, kettle boiler, coffee maker, airconditioning, area is nearby to all essential amenities, walking distance to shopping, Loblaw, Dollarama, public park, coin laundry across the street, convinient code access Cons: older building, small room, shower is not isolated from rest of bathroom, very small sink, surrounding area may have noisy people at night, not sure about parking/didn't use a private car, no elevator but staff are ready and happy to help in luggage. Overall, it was satisfactory for our stay of 6 nights in Toronto

It’s a studio apartment, has a microwave & a kettle. Yet they only provide 2 mugs! Had to ask for bowls & cutlery, the poor receptionist could only offer 1 bowl a spoon, a teaspoon & a fork! Shambolic to say the least. The room did its job, shower was good & toilet was functional. Room was clean. Only thing to be aware of was the bed end, it has parts that protrude at the foot end, they hurt when your toes hit them!

The service was fantastic. The place itself didn't match unfortunately. I'd recommend this place for the convenience of the area which being right in front of a street car pass. Also if you have heavy luggages, I do not recommend this place as they have no elevators.
