Easy check in and check out process. Rooms are incredibly quiet especially for such a central location. Curtains are not blackouts, if that’s something you’re looking for. Excellent value for the price and location.

They put me in the WRONG building. I specifically booked 45 Willcocks, and they put me in 40 Willcocks. Their excuse was “we’re fully booked”. So?? I booked this over a month ago, you need to ensure there is availability prior to booking. Also, I got a migraine because three mornings in a row I woke up to hammering at 6am, and drilling at 7am. The drilling continued throughout the day and disturbed my work. No one mentioned construction at the time of booking. They weren’t able to switch rooms. Unbelievable. Noisy neighbours and noisy other tenants, lots of children/groups. Avoid this place at all costs.

The room and bedding were acceptably clean, but the furniture a bit run down and the windows dirty.

Great value for money if you just need a clean bed to sleep and don’t mind student hall style shared bathrooms. Minutes from downtown.

This is a quiet university dorm. Expect dorm like facilities. Perfect if you are just looking for a place to sleep safely and quietly. Near streetcar stations and major shopping locations. Super friendly staff!

The staff were cordial and helpful. The facility was clean and functional as you might expect of a university residence. Just the basics but when the basics are all you require then this option is an excellent one. Would happily use it again whenever the occasion arises.

A place to rest your head

For the money I paid it was fantastic especially when you concider that you are in Toronto. Clean sheets very basic. A place to rest your head. Nothing more nothing less.

The staff was very nice and knowledgeable, even helping me track down a parking structure with a higher clearance height for my van. The room was basic but that is by design and it was truth in advertising. One thing that would make the experience better (and no doubt for the dorm students too) is some better sunblock shade on the window. The sun was intense very early and continued to intensify. Thankfully I did not stay in the room much during the day. Climate control kept it comfortable for sleeping at night. Shared dorm showers are fine for anyone comfortable with hostels. All in all I would choose this for my stay again due to pricing and convenience! Again, staff was very helpful!

This a college student dormitory; it's a dorm room. It's a nice dorm room. However, things can get noisy in the dorms if you remember your college days. Some nights were fine, but some nights were really noisy. I complained one night and campus security came and talked to the people, but then after campus security left, the party went on. If you have any noise issues, complain multiple times. Otherwise, the offenders will just ruin your stay at this place. The location of this place was EXCELLENT. You just can't beat the location and convenience of this place. Price was right for a college dorm. Surrounding area and campus in general is beautiful and clean.

The bed was very stiff and the mattress hard and thin. The air conditioning seemed old. You couldn't alter the temperature of the room and the air conditioning made a loud droning noise. The rest of the room was nice and basic.

Great value & location

Basic accomodation for the night. Have stayed before, would again. Can't beat the price for a single room right downtown!
