I just stayed for two nights. It's was good. Really friendly staff. They have hairdryer at the reception. The bed is comfortable. The locker for the luggage was ok for my backpack. The breakfast is included.

I loved the space! It’s not only well located, but also very solo-traveller-friendly because they have great security. The shared bathroom didn’t even feel like a shared one — I never bumped into anyone. There’s no elevator, but I didn’t mind! Breakfast was okay, enough for the price of the stay, and they even keep your luggage for free after you check out! The common room is also very well equipped with books, tables, and games. My only issue was a group of homeless or addicted people right outside. They never did anything besides yelling sometimes (not at me, though), but it was still a bit scary when I came back late. This is a downside for me because it wasn’t mentioned — a little heads-up would have been appreciated! That said, their presence is understandable since it’s a very young and active neighborhood, with lots of restaurants and Kensington Market just around the corner. The first night, there was a party at one of the nearby places — the music was super loud and people were screaming. It wasn’t a problem for me because I’m a heavy sleeper, but it’s something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to noise. Again, I think it comes with the territory given the super convenient location. Overall, a great place to stay if you want to explore the core of the city using public transportation — or even just walking!

Ok for a night or two

Decent hostel for 1 or 2 nights if on budget. This hostel is located in a very undesirable neighborhood, adjacent to a homeless shelter and another one a couple blocks away. I did not feel safe walking near the hostel and did not stay out when it got dark. The hostel itself is renovated, it offers breakfast, which the majority of hotels/hostels do not. The bathrooms are very small and cramped and are unpleasant when people do their business since there is no window. The building itself is secure, but rooms are of course very basic with a locker. Dorm beds are uncomfortable and the springs can be felt, pillows very flat, and bunk very shaky and noisy.

The overall stay was okay its just the area where the hotel is located is worrying because it is near to a homeless shelter and tends to be very noisy at night. Towels were too small and soaks up easily. Toiletries were not complete and the lockers were too small to fit a carry-on or a back pack bag then you end up putting your things on the floor. Bed and bed linens were clean as well as the toilet. They could have started serving breakfast as early as 6 AM for guests who needs to up early. Staff was really nice and accomodating.

The staff is friendly and helpful. This is a hostel, cheap but not the most quiet place to sleep. If you want a very good sleep, maybe not the best place. If you want to save money it’s a good place. Uber was about $10 to Union station.
