The location is perfect, all main attractions are in a walking distance. The area is safe. There is always somebody at the reception desk and a security guard near the entrance. The breakfast is amazing, a big choice of food, so you'll definitely find something you like. The room is good. Don't expect too much, because it's primarily a student residence, but the room is clean, the beds are comfortable, the bathroom is good with some basic toiletries. If you need an iron, you can ask at the reception for it. There was a room with a clean fridge and a microwave on our floor. Definitely worth the money.

The hairdryer wasn't working. The smell in the room was a bit strange. Cannot open the windows. Only two sockets in the room.

All facilities and amenities great considering what the residence is - it is a student dorm. Very well cared for, high security, absolutely wonderful staff at reception desk, cafeteria, cleaning services people - the top care and friendliness. Rooms basic, but comfortable and big. Reliance only on AC for fresh air difficult for a European visitor, but I understand the security measures. It was silent as well - no noise from neighboring rooms. A great space as a whole - a common area on the highest floor with fantastic view of the city.

a little lamp in the room not to have the white killing light above would add a bit of coziness

The best thing about this hotel is definitely the location! I walked everywhere the 3 days i stayed here. This is not normally a hotel, so the amenities you get with a hotel you will not get here. Could the bathroom have been cleaned better, yes. Could the bed have been more comfortable, yes. I did not complain because you are getting what you pay for. I was on the 21st floor with a great view of the city. Also, the breakfast was freaking delicious!!!!!!!!

The walls are super thin, so if someone is staying next to you, you will hear them.

Buffet breakfast was great and I really appreciated that it was available until 10:30 am as I came from BC and the 3 hour time difference was a big factor in when I wanted to eat.

I missed having a TV or radio in my room. It would have been nice to feel more connected with what was going on in the city. Also an armchair would have been nice so I could sit comfortably and read.

They are the most affordable, safe , secure and cleanest option with amazing staff that are very Friendly, helpful on Evry aspect. Rooms are clean.. The location saves a lot of time to commute between the places , specially if coming from outside of Toronto , with this the needs becomes void, and it's is in heart of Downton with 1 approx KMS walk to prime location Eaton Centre , Toronto sign is just behind the Location, Old city , new city Hall are all walkable distance ... Breakfast is Amazing and tasty, with lots of options to Vegetarian.. Breakfast is is Buffet so adds no bound to Hunger from diff individuals and it saves 50-100 CAD for family of 3-4 on daily basis.. Parking is safe too , clean, and entry exit is having no barriers and can do it unlimited time if booked Weekly or daily for a single day entry -exit .. A Must recommended option for families...

House Keeping staff doesn't comes as it's a University Students Hostel, so have to maintain the room as clean as our home...

Great value for Toronto, notoriously expensive. 5 min max from famous Dundas Yonge square, subway and other public transport. Maybe 25 min walk from Lake Ontario waterfront. Good variety of food for breakfast ( including vegetarian options), safe underground parking ($21 per night ) connected by elevator to the lobby. Is it a four-star hôtel ? No. But if you look at price / location / breakfast included I don’t think you can beat the value.And the staff is really nice. It is not a youth hostel, guests are of all ages. I would stay there again and recommend it to others.

I wish there had been a stopper in the tub so I could soak instead of just showering. That’s the only thing !

The breakfast is great!! Our stay was comfortable and affordable.

We were told that checkout time was at 11 AM on the day of our departure. At 10:30 AM on the day of our departure we had some woman walk into our room and announced. I'm assuming that she was the cleaning lady but It completely caught us off-guard and one of us happened to be sitting on the toilet right in front of the door when it happened. She looked in her room and immediately slammed the door and said she'd come back later. It would be greatly appreciated if this never happened again. It was a huge invasion of privacy. once you know that the person has checked out that should be the time when the cleaning ladies come. Never before......😠

The location was amazing. It is a 20-minute walk from the CN Tower and close to shops, restaurants, and other services. The breakfast was really good, and the staff were always helping us with questions and requirements. Highly recommended, particularly for families.

The smell in the room and the noise from the vents. The rooms always smelled. I assume this is due to the carpet and the lack of ventilation (no openable windows). The vents were always working even when we turned off the AC.

The cafeteria and free breakfast was amazing. The staff was very kind. I had a very good trip and i liked my room and especially the view! The climatisation in the room was very appreciated The placement is just so perfect. Close to everything at 5-10min of walk.

It was honestly smelling like feet the whole week end in my bedroom and it wasnt because of us , first time opening the door the smell was …. Pretty intense. We get used to it after 30min in the room i guess. But anytime we were coming back to the room the smell was so weird We got a little bit stuck in one elevator. It was pretty scary, it was bugging and not moving anymore. When we moved the door didnt open there’s like 1 place to charge and its not next to the bed , its was far. The only other place was in the bathroom The balcony of the room was locked Weird shower pole

The location is perfect to get where you need to go in the downtown area if you do not have a vehicle. The value for accommodations are great. It is a great place to stay especially if you are a family. I love that there is NO TV!

The breakfast advertises in the picture that is has cereal and cereal was not available. The park or Osgoode Hall to cut through to get there is not accessible. This should be explained when booking, especially if you are planning to walk and not familiar with the area. It also should let you know to bring your own ping pong stuff or fuse ball so that you can play on the games that are there.
