Small rooms, eight people to share one shower and toilet that does not flush right. Booked a room to share with two other females and when i got there they said i booked a mixed room and directed me to a room with two males with smelly clothes everywhere. I refused to stay the night and requested my money to... more

I spent about a week at Canadiana early March 2008 and enjoyed the atmosphere from the moment I stepped in. It was winter, and many of its occupants stayed indoors (in the common area) when the sun goes down. To keep things interesting for travelers, Canadiana organises nightly activities (ie. Futsal, BBQ, Karaoke, Comedy Nights) at no charge, though each... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights on a recent trip to Toronto to catch the Red Sox/Blue Jays game. I booked this hostel because I saw it had been voted #1 hostel in north america. Depending on what room you are in, the experience is incredibly variable. Our first night was absolutely terrible when we stayed in... more

I thought I had a good idea by deciding to book at a hostel in downtown Toronto, as it would save me a lot of money in transportation. I quickly realized what a huge mistake I might have done, when they made me wait for almost an hour for the room to be ready, even though I made my reservation... more

It was the extras that made it: the free pancake breakfast with coffee, the cinema room, the free books for lending and the daily events, such as a bbq! The staff were friendly, my partner and I booked a couple of nights in the Sheraton... more

I've stayed for one night, last sunday the 22nd of June. They gave me a foue bed room on a building next to the hostel that was OK. The baths were OK and the people at the front desk were friendly. I slept with the sheets they provided me. When I got up, my left hand and my neck felt... more

Great hostel, staff very helpful and will organise tours for you. It was a bit crowded and loud on a friday evening but if your a traditional backpacker (which my girlfriend and I are not) you love it even more than we did. more

The hostel is in a good location- you can get to all the attractions quickly and easily. Internet access is good- a few computers in the hall and available at a really could price. Not many washers/dryers- definately not enough for all the guests. Steep staircase to get luggage up and down to the stairs. I stayed in a dormitary... more

I chose this hostel for my stay in Toronto based on the rave reviews on Tripadvisor. It was probably one of my least favourite hostels that I stayed in in terms of cleanliness and facilities, but it was the best in terms of the friendly atmosphere and events that they organise each day. I was in a top bunk in... more
