Coming from a person that has worked in the travel industry for over 10 years in the UK and in many overseas destinations I feel that it is unfair that many UK companies are selling and advertising the Downtowner Inn as a hotel it is not only unfair to the traveller but also unfair to the Downtowner Inn as people... more

There were ants on the floor and holes in the walls. I could see in the other room. Hair on the bath, chewing gum on the floor. I slept with my shoes on. I was disgusted. Worst Ever. more

OMG! this is the worst Hostel in TORONTO! ALthough the rate is much lower than other hostel, but the services, room, basically EVERYTHING is bad. The first room they gave me was terrible, there were 2 guys living there for a long period of time, so i decided to change another room. Eventually still the same, there was a couple... more

I stayed in a dorm and found it great value for Toronto. A lot of the negative reviews are from Americans who do not seem to understand the property or the location. The property is actually better described as a backpackers than a motel; so yes you do have to make up your own bed, get used to it at... more

Please read before booking to stay here, I found the area in which the hotel is base did leave a lot to be desired, I did not see any hookers, but I did see a lot of drug addicts, and that was during the day, I checked in to the hotel, and they put me in a room that looked... more

I discovered this site only after finding the Downtowner on a web search and contacting them directly. After reading Trip/Advisor's negative reviews I should have canceled my two-night reservation and forfeited my 5% reservation fee. Instead I called the manager who assured me the rooms were clean and the neighborhood safe. Because I was still doubtful when I arrived at... more

When you're just a poor student or just desperate for a place to crash, the Downtowner Inn would be the right place. As we arrived the sheets were laying on the beds and they were folded, so we had to make up our own beds. I did see some red bugs and I do think there were some fleas, because... more

When I read the reviews before my stay at the Downtowner Inn I wasn't expecting much. But when it wasn't as depressive as most of the writers before me. We stayed here for 2 nights and didn't see any hookers or drugsdealers! I was here with 2 friends (all women) and I have never felt unsafe in the neighbourhood of... more

This place is awful. Do not stay here. First of all, Travelocity cited the hotel as having "free parking" which is nice in a city like Toronto. Yeah, right. The free parking was two spaces in this little fenced in alley behind the place. The indian guy at the desk asked what kind of car I had...because the alley and... more
