Don't get me wrong, there's nothing exactly wrong with the place but there's nothing great about it either. I paid $59 a night for a premium dorm and wish I hadn't bothered - it was exactly like the dorms I'd stayed in in every other hostel I've been to. Bathrooms were generally clean and plenty of showers. Breakfast was fine... More

This was a great hostel and really good value. We stayed in late April whilst on a sight seeing break with a friend and it was perfect for what I wanted - somewhere clean and friendly to sleep with a bit of atmosphere. The hostel provided free towels and shower slippers which were handy, and the rooms and bathrooms/showers were... More

I loved my stay at the hostelling international. It's in a great location, close to the park, the rooms and bathrooms were very clean and spacious and the staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent common areas. Hope you'll enjoy your stay as much as I did.

This hostel was a good rate for what it was, it it huge!! It has a good café on the ground floor and lots of tours and activities for good prices. The lounge areas are nice and the rooms are nice and big. There are storage lockers in the basement - a little pricey but handy. It is just a... More

I stayed here for 2 nights and that it was a really good place to stay. Staff are lovely, rooms are basic but spotlessly clean, lots of open space to spill out onto and great to meet friendly people if you are a solo traveller. One word of warning, they also cater for big groups (which can feel like they... More

Fun hostel. Stayed for almost a week. The place was clean. Great location only 1 block for the subway system. The staff was really helpful with directions and ideas for things to do. Lots of pub crawls and free tours were organized as well. An older gentleman named Michael did and excellent free midtown tour.

Stayed here just for one night unexpectantly, think it was around $45 so fairly expensive for a hostel but one of the nicest I've stayed in! Stayed in a 10 bed dorm, the showers and bathrooms were really clean and the hostel provides shower shoes. There is a great snack bar downstairs offering muffins, coffee, sandwiches etc and lots of... More

So after staying at the HI in Toronto, this hostel was huge! It had nice common areas, lots of space, and lots of great activities planned, which anyone could join in with, some free, some not. I definitely recommend Jerry’s Grand Tour - he is the nicest and kindest man you’ll ever meet! It is a long day - 13... More

I stayed in Hostelling International for four nights (Saturday 23/3 to Wednesday 27/3) in a male economy dormitory. This is the most basic of classes to stay in and for $50 a night it was well worth the money. The facilities which the hostel offers for travellers is top notch including clean kitchen facilities, a cafe (which is open late... More
