Very good

Exceptional

Pleasant

Liked: Ate breakfast elsewhere
Disliked: One of the staff was rather rude when we tried to check in earlier. Don't understand the policy of not being allowed to check in (from a paperwork perspective) and then get the keys to the room later. We had somewhere to be around the same time as check in and wouldn't be back until after the deadline so they wanted to charge us the extra fee for late check in.

Very good

Amazing hostel! Perfect location and...

Passable

Liked: The location was very good. Each bed in the room had curtains to draw around the bed for privacy.
Disliked: I am sure I booked an all female 6 bed dorm room, but as the first person to check in that day, everyone after me was male. I was not happy. One male told me he requested an all male room and was told there was none. After the first male entered the room I spoke to the front desk and the guy said he'd look into it but he never got back to me and the other 5 beds were filled with males- thank goodness for the curtains because I never knew til the morning.

great hostel in Downtown Toronto

Liked: The beds have curtains, so shared dorms have that little bit of privacy. Each bed has a light and plug. Brekafast included, the staff is very nice and helpful. Great location

Great location and affordable

Liked: Great location (in walking distance of most landmarks and districts). Bed was spacious and comfortable. Suitable for a 2-3 night stay. Complimentary breakfast was good, including the basics such as coffee, bagels, cereal, porridge, and fruit. Comfortable communal spaces. Friendly and helpful staff!
Disliked: The ensuite bathroom in the 8 bed female dorm wasn't the cleanest. Also, there was a lack of additional external toilets and showers (apart from one toilet downstairs), which made things frustrating when the ensuite bathroom was occupied for long periods of time.
