It was really everything I could've hoped for honestly!

Loved the fact that it's so hippy and a great opportunity for a lot of young people to meet as well as all the cool stuff that's just lying around like movies, books, a guitar and a piano,... The live jazz band was an amazing experience. It's fairly clean and there's plenty of showers and toilets for everyone to use.

Such a cool place, so much space to hang out and meet other travellers. There was a real mix of people, of different ages and interests. The bar and cafe are really nice places, with live music at the weekend. The dorm was great, comfy bed and quiet. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. I wanted to stay here longer, was there for 3 nights. The location was great, 1 hour walk into centre of downtown and lots of places to eat nearby in the Greek quarter. The subway to the airport is just around the corner. Breakfast was perfect in a big kitchen with space. The chillout room in the basement was also fab. Loads of showers, clean place and feels really safe and secure.

Nice staff, expensive rooms for what we get

Place is very cute form the outside, staff is nice and welcoming. Only 30 minutes from downtown which is pretty cool. Neighbourhood is nice, lots of restaurants and a lot less busy than downtown. Lots of parks around.

I've stayed in most backpackers hostels in Vancouver and Toronto and I must say the Vibe and Staff are what I expected... If you come to Toronto on a budget or just want a Hostel setting with people around and a short walk to TTC and the Danforth , this would be your best bet... Restaurant and Pub in house

Very nice and welcoming staff. Location is fine, easy to reach. It's a hostel so the cleanliness also depends on the other people but it was cleaned every day. I also liked the electrical outlets for every bed and the nice café/bar downstairs

Great stay in good location

Private room for 2 people, which is in a little flat above the property. Good facilities - clean, comfy beds, has a balcony, decent shower, linen and towels provided. Downstairs a great cafe and bar, both with a great vibe. Lovely helpful staff. Hostel is a few hundred yards from a TTC subway station, so easy to get in and out of the main city.
