Basic hotel for overnight stay
It was a basic hostel. Basic breakfast - bagels, cereals and waffles. The location is near some stops of street car but there are some weird people outside or in the area so consider that when you are walking at night. There was a leak inside our room not sure if it was fixed as I checked out that day.

2/10 Poor

Terrible place and awful management.
Absolutely horrible! The second the manager looked at me, I could tell she didn't want me staying there. She started asking all these questions and saying stuff about policy this and policy that, even though none of these policies were written anywhere or communicated to me in any form. All because I walked in wearing a tank top and yoga pants with my tattoos showing, carrying a backpack and wheeling a suitcase. She scrutanized my ID like she thought I stole it, and decided I lived in Toronto just because I got my passport there, even though I showed I showed her my banking information showing an address with a different city. (It's a 5 year old passport. Does she not think people move in that period?!) Then she got straight up offended like I called her a name when I said I don't have picture ID with my address on it. In the end, she wouldn't let me check in and cancelled my reservation. Absolutely horrible and I very highly recommend a different place to stay!

Ok dorm - Sketchy area.
Pretty expensive hostel for that area. The area around Kensington Market is SO sketchy! I was shocked to see so many impoverished people living on the streets & tent cities around that area. No gluten free options for the breakfast. Bed was comfy. WiFi was good. Lots of hotwater in the showers. Taco & burger places nearby.

I love the staff, very sharp. The layout is great. You feel that there's time to engage with your fellow travellers, quietly or in a group setting. There's also plenty of opportunity to be alone with your thoughts. M
