My boyfriend and I have stayed here for about 2 weeks and we just checked in for another week. It's a super convenient old French-style place close to everywhere, yet very quiet because it's near a mini park. All the managers are very helpful and friendly. We stayed in deluxe private room. It's very warm and cozy and we can see CN tower through our window-door. The lighting jobs in our room is... more
AVOID THE STUDIO APARTMENT If I could give ZERO stars I would. (apologies for the caps lock but this studio almost ruined our entire holiday)
We stayed in the AirBnB Studio which is serviced by the Clarence Group.
The apartment was well presented and serviced well. (So far so good...). However with paper thin floors and the cafe below blaring French techno at 7:33AM EVERYDAY sleeping in is...

This place took my hostel virginity and I have to say it was a great experience. Me and a friend decided to ring in the new year in Toronto so we drove for about 9 hours from Washington, DC to make it happen.
This was also our first time in Toronto so we chose this place sight unseen after checking out a few super positive reviews on Hostel World and Trip Advisor.
It took us a few days to get...

We got a private room with private bath for about $46 per person, per night. If you stay here and need parking, make sure to RESERVE your spot ($10 extra a night).
The location here is EXCELLENT- seriously within walking distance of almost everything you could want to see. The vibe of the place is very laid back- not a party place. I saw more older couples than I ever have in a hostel. Nice!

Great atmosphere, excellent location. I was staying here to be close to downtown and the convention center. I think it was closer than most hotels. Boy was this a good decision. And there's an excellent cafe around the corner - really can't be beat.
Didn't have a lot of time to use the common ammenities, but the wifi was fast. The kitchen looked great, appeared to have plenty of space. Outside...

Cool budget place to sleep.
Staff is friendly and the location is incredibly quiet even though it's downtown. You can basically reach all the cool and interesting places by walk.
As you get off the place you rather deal with squirrels than cars, 'cause a small park is just out the door.
A convenient and big kitchen can make you feel home and is the perfect place to meet other people.
I booked through hostelworld and it said it was near downtown Toronto. They really weren't kidding! It's pretty central to everything.
It's right near the CN Tower, maybe a 5-7 minute walk from it. They have parking available for an additional $10 per day, which is quite a bit cheaper than any other parking nearby. The wifi was pretty fast too. I didn't use it for much other than finding...

Very chill, less stressed out than most other youth hostel that requires a passport or Driver's license. Long story short, i was referred by another person to this Hostel which like the picture shoes, doesn't look like one. I got there after being awake 22 hours and walking and walking and I was about to simply sleep on a park bench. I came in, the guy was watching TV and I booked in, I was... more
CC exceeded my expectations at all levels! I stayed in a private ensuite room for three nights. First of all, the place smelled like soap! A refreshing surprise as I have stayed at hostels that smelled like smoke. The place was nicely furnished with comfy beds, well-appointed bathroom, and even a flat screen cable tv. I didn't even realize this when book and got all of this for $90/night. A... more
Location, location, and did I mention the LOCATION? I made last minute reservations here on a whim, and was absolutely blown away by the excellent value of this place. It's located central to nearly everything you could want - shopping, bars, restaurants, public transportation, CN Tower, theaters, parks... again, the value of this place is incredible.
I didn't stay in the hostel part, but...

Super duper, fantastic location. Right next to everything, and by everything I mean public transportation, stores, and more importantly, bars!
Comfortable beds, rooms are kinda stuffy, upgraded kitchens and bathrooms, common areas have satellite cable tv, and computers with free internet available.
Didnt ever see the breakfast mentioned, but since I was broke I ate breakfast bars anyway.

Could be that "Hostel" movie or my mom's persistent warnings, but I've never been curious enough to stay in a hostel. This place has changed all that. The rooms are clean. Staff is helpful and friendly. Everything is very secure. and they serve breakfast daily! Right off of the main strip on Queen st, this is certainly the place to be. I know where I'll be staying for my next visit to the T-dot.
