Liked: We liked location of the place. It was easy to get to everything Toronto has to offer without using metro or buses. CN tower only 10 minute walk... And if you're looking for a cheap way to get to Niagara Falls, just catch the GO Train at the Union station ...

Disliked: The place was the dirties place we have ever stayed. When we got the room - sheets were not new and were dirty from previous guests. A lot of hair on the sheets and in the whole room everywhere. Disgusting. We said we wanted new sheets and we changed the sheets ourself. We also ask for a broom and we cleaned the whole room before using the room at all (sweapt the flour as well). The kitchen is there to use, but there are only two pans (in very bad shape) and one large plate and one small plate for 20 rooms. No cups, no anything. If you want to cook proper meal you need to have a lot with you. And one more thing - the walls are very thin so don't expect to have a good night sleep.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: They lost our booking and don't speak English! We were made to walk across Chinatown to another hostel. The room we were given was so cramped we couldn't get our luggage away from the immediate area of the door, and one window was missing glass.

21 July 2011 Mohit would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was very co-opeartive. the earlier reviews say it is noisy that's probably due to the wooden walls. and its neat enough if you don't spill yourself overall a nice and economic place to stay. the location is so central that over a period of 7 days of stay i never took a conveyance except that for going to niagara falls and city tour. its better to walk about raher than to go for the city tour

Disliked: As such i didn't find anything to complain for except that i won't get another chance to stay there.
