The location was great and the owners were perfect with excellent communication throughout. Really easy to get to and close to all amneties
The bed was uncomfortable as it was too soft. Also there was alot of noise on the street especially at 3am. However, this was to be expected given that it was on a main street

Location was great, usually 1-2 short tram/bus rides away from where activities are happening in Harbourfront and Old Toronto.
We booked a private room (not the dormitory, which is also available in the property) and it had a bench running along one side of the room. This was convenient for sitting and placing one's belongings.
There was no thermostat/way to control the temperature in the room - no aircon or heater controls. Fortunately, the temperature was not too cold during our stay.
The shower and toilet were interesting as it had glass walls that was open at the top, with curtains. What I presumed but didn't get to confirm was whether the smell would spread to the entire room if one used the loo. :) I suppose in such a situation, it would be better for the other person to leave the room and return after some time when the smell has dissipated.

Check in was easy. Was Emailed codes to get in with and no issue with codes. Walkable to public transport
I paid for the standard studio instead of the double room as the description for the standard studio is said to have a kitchenette inclusive of a stove. The images of the room also show a relatively well equipped kitchenette as described. Images show stove, chopping board and plates.
As such I paid the extra for the studio over the double room so that I could save money on eating out. I had purchased groceries upon check in.
When I arrived there was a microwave, kettle and coffee machine with two mugs. No plates, stove or cutlery.
I messaged the host stating I booked a room with kitchenette and did not have any cutlery or crockery. I was provided with 2 plastic knives and forks and 2 paper plates for a 4 night stay and told these items are not routinely provided.
In an ideal world I would like the price difference between the studio and standard room refunded.
On my last day I messaged early in the morning asking if I could leave my bag somewhere for a few hours. I never got a reply.
The bed and bathroom were fine. I did find someones old underwear on the floor near the bed.
It could be a bit noisy and could hear shouting at times from outside.
Decent walk (45mins) to the main tourist attractions/ area but plenty of food places around
You were also unable to adjust the room temperature. It was quite cold.

Just a cheap and affordable
But they must the towel for bath etc and rule regulations that any should use the cell phone in 4/8/10 bedrooms.
Because, in the room where i stayed the people were talking and using laptop etc. that is not good enough.
Their prices are cheaper, but the staffs are not enough cooperative and the communication is not much good.

We liked the location, pretty close to downtown, and with plenty of restaurants nearby.
The room was very small and the bathroom didn't allow any privacy due to the glass walls and the short curtains.

Keypad entry, in room washroom/shower, comforter, cleanliness, tidiness, and food restrictions.
Felt a bit. anxious when I received a message in the middle of my four day stay with two nights remaining, asking if I had checked out. I simply had gone to work and left my tidied bed in wait while out living my day.
Upon contacting the office my query was met with professionalism and kind service and matters were quickly resolved.
Thus, no complaints, just a suggestion against quick conclusions.
A more regular inspection of the pillow and mattress comfort level could be afforded as well. Thanks regardless.

C'était moins pire de ce que je pensais en lien avec les commentaires. Il ne faut pas s'attendre au luxe compte tenu du prix. C'est le plus bas prix que vous pouvez trouvez à Toronto et tout près du centre-ville. Donc, si vous n'êtes pas trop difficile, j'ai vu pire comme motel et auberge de jeunesse! Le lit était confortable. La chambre était propre. L'équipement était convenable: petit frigo, cafetière et bouilloire, mais défraichi. Les gens étaient respectueux et silencieux lors de notre séjour (heureusement car on entend tout dans le corridor). Sur notre étage, il y avait des chambres simples et des chambres dortoirs. L'employé à bien répondu à nos questions et avec politesse. Plusieurs petits restaurants et cafés sur la rue. Le streetcar passe devant l'hôtel. À 30 minutes à pied du centre-ville et de la Tour du CN. Je me suis sentie en sécurité le soir sur cette rue.
Tout est une question d'attentes. Mes attentes n'étaient pas élevées et je m'attendais à pire. Nous avions une chambre un peu plus défraichie versus celle qui était à côté de nous (nous avions la chambre 203). Le papier peint décollait à quelques endroits (ce qui est normal en raison du taux d'humidité qui augmente considérablement dans la chambre suite à une douche). Le bureau était défraichi (tâché et ondulé par l'eau), la fenêtre ne fermait pas bien et donc, nous pouvions entendre parfaitement tout ce qui se passait sur la rue et ce, à toutes heures du jour et de la nuit. Cela a été particulièrement pénible le samedi soir avec des gens qui faisaient la fête. Il y a un jour d'au moins 2 pouces sous la porte, ce qui fait en sorte qu'on entend parfaitement les gens qui parlent dans le corridor. La porte pour la douche n'ouvrait pas complètement. L'idée de créer un espace toilette-douche-lavabo est ingénieux pour rentabiliser l'espace. Mon seul commentaire par rapport à la "chambre de bain" est qu'il est préférable de prendre une douche le soir plutôt que le matin ou bien d'apporter des sandales que pour la douche car le plancher demeure mouillé pendant plusieurs heures. Donc, en hiver, je ne voulais pas mettre mes bottes pour ne pas tout salir le plancher et la douche et donc, je devais enlever mes bas si je voulais aller à la toilette ou utiliser le lavabo pour ne pas être mouillée. Pour un court séjour, seul ou avec une autre personne, c'était quand même confortable. L'endroit semble miteux, mais ce n'est pas si pire que ça. Non, ce n'est pas le luxe, mais il faut être réaliste par rapport au prix payé. Pour ma part, cela m'a permis d'économiser sur l'hébergement. J'y retournerais sans problème, mais je demanderais à avoir la chambre 204 qui semblait mieux.

6인실 썼는데 개덥고 화장실이 제대로 된 방(?)이 아니어서 누가 쓰면 소리가 너무 적나라게 들립니다.

The location is really good
It could be a really good place tbh, there are a few things that could be changed and make it easy better easily.
Toilet flush gets stuck and won't stop flushing water.
More than a week there and didn't get my sheets changed even tho they say they do it...
"Housekeeping" will come into the room like 5 times a day just to check.
Don't have any kitchenware (mugs, bowls, spoons....) So get yours.
Bunk beds are very squeeky, anyone moving a bit would wake up the others.
For the rest you have what you pay for.
If you are just passing by the city of god enough, but if you are planning on staying several days..... might not be the best

They don’t have lockers in the shared rooms, which makes you to leave stuff outside.
They also rent towels… something I have never seen in my life…

Nulla
C'erano diversi insetti morti nella camerata, non era presente un lavandino in bagno, il mio letto non era pulito e l'uomo nel letto inferiore al mio era sotto l'effetto di qualche sostanza e mi dava i brividi. Non ho visto nessun membro del personale (sempre che esista). Sono scappato la mattina successiva.

The price was very attractive for the location
A very cheap place for someone who doesn’t care about privacy, resting and meeting people.
The place is not very safe from outside
No h24/24 check in so be careful register before if you don’t want to pay extra
The heat in the room was too hot and we were not able to turn it off or change the temperature. we couldn’t open the window, and breeze. The bed are stuck to the heat it’s dangerous with the temperature of the heat. We did not sleep good.
No sharing space, not easy to make friends
The bathroom is inside the room of a 6 girls sharing room, you can’t have privacy in the room there is only a shower curtain and you can see anything.

Zona con muchos restaurantes diversos
Te fastidian con mails para hacer un check in on line y darte un código para entrar. Escalera y habitaciones. No hay áreas comunes para socializar no cocina. Y no se puede comer en los dormis. Si querés modificar tu estadía te ponen excusas para cobrarte un día más siendo que habia lugar libre. Las camas hacen ruido y los colchones son finos.

Die Lage war super. Zu Fuß etwas weiter, aber dennoch gut machbar. Die Busstation in der Nähe, für die, die nicht so gut zu Fuß sind. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war ok.
Kein Fahrstuhl, mit Gepäck leider etwas anstrengend in den 2. Stock zu kommen. Etwas laut aber mit Ohrstöpsel kein Problem. Das Bad ist etwas merkwürdig, da die Dusche auf Toilette und Waschbecken regnet und man nichts drinnen abstellen kann. Das Fenster lässt sich nicht öffnen und die Klimaanlage war zu laut um sie nachts angeschaltet zu lassen.

tbh I didn‘t expect much, but it was actually really good. The staff was extremely nice and the beds were confy as well.
The noise from the outside was kind loud. A board in the bathroom to put one‘s stuff would be great as well
