Good price for Toronto. I booked a private room, but there are dorms available as well. Clean room, unique decor… mine was very dark wallpaper, that was unexpected, but not in a bad way. It’s located on Queen W, which has a weird mixture of bars, Cannabis shops, and barbershops around it. I didn’t feel unsafe in the area, but some might. This is probably more suited for a younger demographic. There’s no front desk, in fact, I never saw a staff member during my stay… you get a code for the door and your room after an online check in, and that’s it… I’ve run into the same in Europe a couple of times now… not sure how I feel about it yet. Would I stay again? Maybe, if I can’t find anything more central for a reasonable price in the future. Overall a good stay.

This place is a bait-and-switch scam

This place is a total SCAM, it is actually a run down hostel but they advertise it as a hotel. The room was disgusting and looked nothing like the photos. The window was duct taped, the AC didn't work and it was the middle of a heatwave, everything was in bad shape and the furniture / bed was uncomfortable. There was no front desk to ask for a new room, only a phone number to call who did not return my calls. This is a complete bait-and-switch operation that I recommend you avoid.

Skip this place!

The check-in was the easiest part of our stay. AVOID this place. I booked 2 nights before reading the reviews. I thought it couldn't be that bad but , i was soo wrong. It was worst. I had to spray the bed with lysol just to make sure the bedbugs wouldn't get me. It was 40° degrees that day and i was looking forward to cooling down and settling in. The A.C was on full blast, so was the extra fan and the ceiling one. It was hotter in my room than in the hall or outside for that matter. My last straw was having to kill a roach in the shower. The blinds wouldn't go down so we had to make sure we weren't giving the neighbors a free show. The neighborhood is sketchy and the reception door wasn't locked. Anybody could get in. I decided to take a loss and booked another hotel on my second night.
