Excellent Private Room for a Great Price

Nice private room, no air conditioning but you can ask to borrow a fan. I stayed in August and did not feel hot. Bathrooms were always clean and the hostel is a short bus ride away into the city. I would recommend doing laundry somewhere else otherwise there was a $10 CAD minimum to load the laundry card. Will come back!

It’s a student residence. Cheapest and safest option in the city if you’re cool with that. Expect a lot of walking, a lot of stairs and limited dining spots if you’re unwilling to walk more than a kilometre.

Basic and Hot

Small room, bed somewhat comfortable. Building and rooms are clean. Reception staff polite, courteous and efficient. Wish there was a hair dryer. Be aware rooms have no AC - my room was like a sauna upon check in. Opening window helps a bit but still so warm my chocolate bar melted!
