First of all I think it's important to say what's good about this hostel, and their are a few things: 1. Location is superb. You're close (5-10 mins walk) to the central station and most tourist attractions (and our personal favourite Yonde Street). There is also a 24 hour supermarket five mins walk away, but don't expect to find any... More

HI Toronto is one of the best. Great atmosphere, great amenities and plenty of activities to join. The reception staff are exceptional and the cleaners always cheerful. The Cavern Cafe; is a must: just chat with the manager Gwen and you'll feel right at home, all while she cooks you a delicious breakfast.

My friends and I booked one night at the HI Toronto. The hostel is well located in Downtown Toronto. The place is nice with a pool table, darts, a kitchen and a bar. Nice common areas and the staff is very friendly. We took a dorm for 6 people and it was pretty clean but also very small. There's a... More

When ever I am in Toronto for overnight stays I check myself into HI Toronto. This Hostel is a hub of activity with an nice lounge to relax inwhile surfing the internet, playing some pool or even dining in the Cavern. On this stay I was going for a Doctor's appointment so I only stayed one night but had a... More

I have stayed in several hostels before and this one was one of the most clean I've been to. The lobby was very welcoming and home-y, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was the bathrooms...one of the showers on my floor was out of order and the other bathroom was very cramped and small. The hostel... More

A life long hosteller - this one leaves me unimpressed. Customer service leaves much to be desired. On a good day you will get the front desk staff (quote) ~who haven`t been here too long`. They will accommodate your reasonable requests - but let you know in no uncertain terms that you are out of line in making them. Am... More

As this is from the big Hostelling International chain, I was expecting it to be big and busy, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was in a 6 bedded female dorm, which had its own toilet and shower - very small, but I was expecting a big communal one in the corridor. The mattresses/bunk frames could do with an update... More

It was my third hostel experience and my first time in Toronto. I thought the hostel was located in a great location for access to much of the downtown area. There was also a nice plan of events and happenings for me to get involved in when my vacation days were not as organized as I thought. Also, don't know... More
