Awesome !

The hostel is really great! The common areas are great, the breakfast is good, the roof top offers a superb view of the city, it is well located near transport and restaurants! The only downside is the bedding which is not really pleasant and the rooms overlooking the street are noisy!

Fantastic
Perfect or almost

Everything is clean, never seen before in a hostel. The rooftop, the geographical location, the atmosphere, the lunch. The only downside is that the beds creak a lot.

Welcoming, Fun and Friendly

My friends and I had a fabulous 3 days at the hostel, the team and travelers are a big part of the Toronto experience. The hostel is very well located, which makes getting around simple and very pleasant. Not to mention the roof-top which is unavoidable. Good stay to future travellers.
