I stayed here for 5days at the end of last year, while I was doing a bit of travelling around the US and Canada, and LOVED it! My research had led me to this and one other hostel and I decided to stay here, due to the reports about the good vibe/ atmosphere.... and I wasn't disappointed! From the time... More

The Canadian was great, the staff are friendly and do so much for their guests. I couldn't fault them. The rooms ain't huge but there are comfortable for a short stay. And location is fantastic. Everything is within walking distance. Id stay there again. More

This review is very late!!! I stayed here in March 2009 and it was a fantastic week in this superbly located hostel right in downtown Toronto.

The kitchen wasn't particularly well-equipped either. My bed was very old and saggy and a bit uncomfortable. The other common areas were great though, and it is... More

Just great location, needs more bathrooms but clean More

I stayed here in September 2011 for 4 nights. I was in a six bed dorm which was basic but clean. Bed was comfy. Lockers were not big enough for backpacks so all our stuff was on the floor, they are fine for handbags/valuables though. Bathrooms are individual with shower & toilet in the same room which I liked. There... More

This is a very friendly, clean and conveniently placed hostel. And as many pancakes as you can eat every morning. Well recommended. More
