It saddens me to see so many people hated their experience at GVB. I've been 3 times now, and i would go back any day. I've had the best times at this hostel, it's bang in the centre of the entertainment district, and about a 20 minutute walk to dundas sq. Yes, its grubby here and there but it's really... More

The bathrooms were not that clean u can expect from a hostel, thats... More

They have an awesome bar with alcohol & food outtside which is how i made new friends. Its... More
