pros : Directions to the room are well indicated. Staff are nice and accommodating. I appreciate they let me leave mu stuff earlier because there was no one in my assigned bed. (that's what they said but read the cons). it's clean Having air conditioning is life saving luggage room cons : Someone slept in my assigned bed. I just took another one but I liked it less than my assigned bed (in term of location). Someone got up at 5 am and made noise because he is preparing his stuff to leave but it's normal on a dormitory so I don't take it as a problem. I couldn't find where to take plates in the kitchen. Anyway the cluttery and plates were all next to the washer. I would suggest a system where we can dry the dishes and put it at place. Because we use plates and cluttery that are still wet cause all dishes pile up and keep those dowstaires wet, vicious circle. I enjoyed my stay fir the price !

Liked: Staff & service
This hostel is in Kensington Market area, and it's a vibrant, multicultural, youthful area. Lot's of good food places, and interesting sort of touristy and fun stores. The hostel itself is an economical place to stay, with a kitchen you can cook your own food in, and common areas. It was a lively place to stay, with lots of friendly people. I really enjoyed the staff here and also many people from other countries coming and going. I was really taken with my one week stay in Toronto. I found everyone I met to be so helpful and outgoing and kind. People seem good at coexisting. If you are a clean freak, a city is a city with all it's variety, but I didn't see a lot of littering or garbage strewn. There's people living homelessly yet I didn't experience a lot of aggression. I feel grateful to have been in the mix. and thankful to the staff in particular.
