The room is clean and bathroom shiny. Entrance and hallways narrow. Homeless people are lurking in the street outside. 150 is far too expensive for this place, maybe for half of that is a good place for an overnight stay.

Great location!!! 5 minute walk to streetcar stop on Parliament so easy access to go site seeing or explore the city. It’s a small room and a bit warm but it was just what we needed for a 5-day stay. Check-in was pretty straight forward and the host showed us all the features of the home. The one thing I’d mention is the fact that you cannot flush any toilet paper into the toilet due to sewage concerns. Not a deal breaker; but it’s worth noting to future guests if that’s something you don’t want to deal with. Overall it was a great stay and I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a no-frills stay in the city :)

Avoid Comfy Guest House! I was overcharged $110 CAD at check-in and threatened I wouldn’t get the key without paying. The owner was rude and unprofessional. The “Deluxe” room was tiny, dirty, and uncomfortable, and the shared bathroom was unsanitary. Definitely not “comfy” — stay away!

Paying in cash upon arrival quite difficult as we had come from a different country. Seemed a bit off to me as well...avoiding fees? Didn't realise we'd be sharing a bathroom with more than 1 other room. Had to wait often to use facilities. Toilet system old so couldn't flush toilet paper, so putting it into a bin was a bit gross. Especially when it was shared toilet. Shared kitchen area was handy but with so many tenants sometimes you had to wait. The stuff we had in fridge was thrown away before our last day. Mostly clean, but vents, walls, windowsill etc have clearly never been cleaned. Ever.

Enjoyed my stay in Comfy Guest House, Toronto. Prrfect place to live in Toronto downtown area with comfortable temperature in very hot summer. Best thing of comfy guest house is obeying rules & regulations those are important for the comfort of everyone stayed there. At the time of check-in Property Manager brefied me very well about the rules. She also brefied about food store etc whenever i asked.

Comfy!

This was indeed a comfy guest house! The owner was lovely, she gave me a tour of the facilities on arrival and was kind enough to arrange a late check in with me due to my flight's arrival time. She also pointed out the local convenience stores and supermarkets which was super helpful as a newbie to the area. The guest house's location is great. It's a reasonable walking distance to the Dundas Eaton centre and well connected with streetcar routes less than a block away. The bed was very comfortable, although showing its age a little. The room was equipped with a mini fridge and microwave. The bathroom seemed recently renovated and the shower was excellent. The only downside is the area's old plumbing which prevents toilet roll being flushed down the toilet, although the owner has measures in place to make this as painless as possible. All in all I would recommend this location, especially for the price paid. I would happily stay again if I was in the area.

I booked two rooms here so I guess that means I can leave two reviews. My first review I gave it a 3/5, but now that I think about it more there was even more negatives than I remembered to include in my first review. Pros: Cheap and relatively clean except for the toilet situation. Cons: Asked to put used toilet paper in a bin instead of flushing. Showers expected to stop after 11pm. They only take 20% of the cost from credit card, and the other 80% you have to pay in cash. The check in process took way too long. People dont need to be shown how to turn a key on the handle. They expected to give a check in time so someone could meet us and show us around. We had a train delay and uncertain dinner plans which made checkin times into the hotel annoying, and I felt bad for giving the staff a time we were 45 minutes late by which we had no control over (because of a train delay). Suggestion: Install bidets into the toilets to reduce the toilet paper issue. Each one costs less than $50 and can be installed in 20 minutes.

Pros: It's cheaper than a hotel, and it's pretty clean except for the bathroom situation I will describe below. Cons: You have to throw toilet paper in a bin. If this was a developing country it wouldn't lower my score, but this is Canada. They said it was because their pipes would have issues and clog. If they want to blame Toronto's plumbing that's fine, but in any case the least they could do is install some bidets on every toilet. It would greatly reduce the amount of toilet paper being used and thrown into the trash can. Also they said no showers after 11pm which I did find mildly restricting because it forced me to return to the hotel earlier than I would have liked in order to take a shower. Suggestion: Install some bidets.

Bordering a sketchy couple of roads, the property was in need of updating (bathroom was good though). Furniture seemed second hand, visible blown plaster due to damp but AC was fine. Check in was a chore being shown how to use a key!! Host not easily findable when wanting clean towels etc. Was quiet and secure. You get what you pay for in this instance.

The administration does minimum to maintain the place. The carpets seem dirty and wasn’t be vacuumed often. The walls on the bathroom are not clean. The beds are creaking and the room is very small, the space in between two beds are way too narrow like 20 cm tat one person cannot stand, no place to put baggages and bags.People came back late and wash dishes at 2-3 am. Someone cooked fish and the fishy smell retained in the whole place for two days. It was the worst experience for me. If the place is taken good care it can be a cozy house.

Had an amazing stay at the comfort guest house in Cabbagetow in downtown Toronto. We had the one bedroom with private washroom. It was a clean and comfortable spot for us while we spent our days out and about exploring Toronto. My only suggestion is for there to be blinds on the windows or some type of way to close up the curtains as the windows face the street and there are people in the buildings across the street that I feel can peek through into the room. Other than that the room and experience was very pleasant! Would definitely recommend for any travelers looking for a place that is cozy and conveniently located in/near downtown Toronto.

Inadequate Toilet

I expect a private bathroom to include a working toilet, and I expect a working toilet to be able to flush toilet paper. I guess this toilet mostly worked, but it couldn't flush toilet paper. Their solution of having a receptacle next to the toilet did work, but I feel that I should have been informed of this situation before I booked the room. Otherwise, the place wasn't too bad and is a viable option for someone that wants to save money on relatively low-cost lodging.
