I loved the old stone architecture, the wood interior and the lovely courtyard. Very walkable to many places in TO. Beautiful surrounding grounds.

Good budget friendly place

The staff was really good. The cleaning staff did there best to keep things clean. People staying there put lots paper towel in toilet which made it hard for staff to keep things clean. I had no issues other then it doesnt say in listing u need to bring your own towel pls be aware. I am staying here again in couple days.

Room was a little dirty, as well as my window and blinds were broken and would not shut. Being on the first floor this was not the greatest. Other than that, solid stay for the price

Dear Knox, I was staying in room 420 & my name is Clifford Ulmer. I checked out early this morning, Tuesday, but found the doors locked and no security guard on duty, contrary to what I was told at check in. I was able to exit the building and I put the keys in the mailbox outside the front door. Please acknowledge that you received the keys so I don't get charged for them. Thanks. Clifford Ulmer

Student residence in downtown Toronto. Bargain accommodation convenient to everything in the area. Two 'watch-for' items: 1) bring towels & toiletries and 2) no air conditioning. Quiet, clean and very affordable option for an expensive city.

This is a great stay for solo travelers who aren't looking for many amenities. I was able to walk to most of the places I wanted to go (some 30-40 minutes but I didn't mind). The only thing was the condition of the bathroom was not great. It was often a bit flooded and visibly dirty. However, I would still recommend this for a more low maintenance traveler.
