Best location in Toronto

If you want quick access to all the great things toronto has to offer, this is the place to stay. Located right beside the main subway station of Toronto, you can get ANYWHERE FAST! Great neighborhood with lots to do and see. Very cozy, charming rooms, fresh and clean. Overall I had a great stay!

Very Expensive, Rude Staff

Stay at Global Guesthouse at your Peril. Although conveniently located in the Annex/downtown area, this is where the positives stop. Myself and my girlfriend stayed here for 16 nights, we have recently moved to Toronto from Ireland and thought this would be the perfect place to base ourselves until we found an apartment. Upon our arrival the office was closed,... more

A delightful little place

This place was a pleasant surprise. The staff were lovely and helpful, the rooms were nice and tidy. It was a really pleasant no frills guest house.
The free wifi was fast and reliable and the beds were comfy.
The location was good although it was a little too close to Spadina station and any light sleepers might struggle with... more

Could be more energetic with cleaning

Not recommended if you suffer from a dust allergy. Extreemly handy for the Spadina metro/streetcar/bus interchange. Best feature is the wonderfully comfortable squashy sofa in my room but I understand the rooms are to be renovated so I expect this will go then. Yhe kitchen is useful for stretching budgets.

Very unclean, old and understaffed

Very Faulty towers feel, the decor is tacky and old, the facilities under appointed and many non functional, but the utterly filthy kitchen and bathroom (hairs, built up soap scum, shower didn't work, unwashed utensils, unhygienic dual use of sink for chemical use and dishes - in a cupboard!! And dust filled room with litter under the bed and hairy... more

Great Location, Good Value

I enjoyed my stay at the guest house. For an older building, it was quite well maintained. The service I experienced was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful.
My room was large and comfortable. I had to share a bath, which was clean and tidy.
The location was `great`. Close to the subway, UofT, Museum, shopping and lots... more

Cheap and nice guest house in the nicest area of Toronto

Cheap and nice guest house in the nicest area of Toronto. The location is perfect right next to Spadina Subway Station, which makes getting around and getting to and from the airport very easy. Very friendly and helpful staff. Has air conditioning, which you will need in the summer. I recommend paying the extra 10 CAD to have one of... more

Don't Stay Here

Despite the ideal location in the Annex and steps from Bloor Street West; despite the very nice over worked staff.. DO NOT STAY HERE!
I had booked online from the UK and was required really to stay for the week. I had been quoted a very cheap rate, (that would still have been expensive taking it all into consideration!), which... more

No frills, good price, great location

I stayed 2 weeks at the Global Guest House and I had an overall positive experience. The location can't be better: if you like to walk, don't get a pass because you won't need it, but if you're kinda lazy, Spadina station is right next door=2 subway lines + the most frequent street car line + buses. I stayed in... more

Great location and great value

This is one of the nicest places I've stayed at. Great location and great value. A charming building that is over 100 years old. Free wifi internet and free local calls.

A friendly, comfortable and clean place

First: This is a review on the "Borden St. House", which is also run by Global Guest House and a 10min walk away from the main office:
A good place to stay if you want to have your own privacy (meaning a spacey room, incl TV + fridge) , yet there's a huge living area + full kitchen for socializing... more

Run down

Dirty (toilet base was filthy, mold on shower curtain)
In state of disrepair (furniture falling apart, toilet leaking non stop)
Somewhat rude staff
Noisy (late night bar just East)
You clean your own room
On the good side:
Location is convenient
price is not bad
Free internet
Looks charming on the outside

Wouldn't Stay Here Again

1. Staff were rude
2. Rooms were small, pull out sofa bed (wheres the real bed?)
3. Dead mouse under the bed (wondered why there was a strong smell of herbal cleaner)
4. Untidy, DONT STAY AT THE GLOBLE GUEST HOUSE.
5. Walk 5 minutes up the road and there is a lovely clean, friendly B&B for $22 a night.

Good deal for budget-minded folks

You can't beat the proximity to the TTC(subway) - entrances are next door and across the street. You really do not need a car as you're within walking distance to a number of attractions. It's not the fanciest of places, but if you need a safe, clean and cheap place to stay, this is a good value.
You get a... more
