Most hostels either have that really sterile feeling or the really 'cosy' feeling - by cosy I mean small, dark and dirty. Canadiana has neither - its exactly what you expect when you hear hostel. Large dorm rooms, no wiggling between beds here. Lots of storage space (good when you have a lot of luggage), and a big shared space... More

We stayed 2 nights. As other reviews have said, it's in a pretty unbeatable location. I found that it was pretty run-down compared with most places we stayed, especially the bathrooms and kitchen. The kitchen wasn't particularly well-equipped either. My bed was very old and saggy and a bit uncomfortable. The other common areas were great though, and it is... More

Just great location, needs more bathrooms but clean More

I stayed here in September 2011 for 4 nights. I was in a six bed dorm which was basic but clean. Bed was comfy.

Only had a one night stay here as we were in Toronto for a short time but you could tell it was a great little social hostel. Very busy, lots of social areas. Our room was comfy and clean, shower was very good. Quirky decor with lots of cool things on the walls! Social events being arranged daily. More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Canadiana. We are two friends travelling around and booked a private double room which was a big bunk bed and we thought it was great value for money. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and comfortable, and the free wifi was great. The staff were very helpful and the location is good. More
