It's a good place to sleep at a good price. But you're going to have to go out and get food elsewhere and the air conditioning didn't work in the common room where the TV was. It was a very utilitarian stay.

Best value you’ll find in the city! Let’s face it, the rooms are small, but if you’re only looking to have a safe spot to sleep and leave your bags, just go there. Common bathrooms were clean and the showers stalls are all separated by doors.

Still the BEST price for a room in Toronto, and very convenient for exploring the city or going shopping, sight seeing or other. I was there for a festival in the Annex district which was literally walking distance but also highly accessable via street car, which stops right outside our residence.

Room was clean, one of the mattresses on the single bed was very old, flat and uncomfortable compared to the other visibly newer one. Nice location, close to many ttc options, central ac was lacking, room was very warm. Staff were very friendly. Overall decent for the price and location, would stay again.

Great for a solo traveler. Centered to a lot of things to do, some within walking, all within Uber range. Bathrooms and shower are dorm style and were clean and stocked. Check-in/out was easy. Though the room is a small dorm room style it was not cramped for me/solo. Facility was safe a secure. Temps were good (End of May/Early June) and bed was a double meant for solo travelers.

Loved the space, quiet, elevators, bins for waste, washrooms, beds, towels, location. Found the lack of any kind of cups or glasses, spoons, kettle or pot to make tea to be somewhat spartan.

Was well worth it. The location is excellent and the streetcar stops on the street next to the building. While it is a basic university dorm, the bedding and mattress were comfortable enough and we had what we needed for our stay. As long as you understand you are staying in a university dorm, you will do just fine.

It took us a while til we finally asked one of the desk attendants as to the location of food. We were pleasantly directed to its location. The food was ok but the pancakes were rather stiff instead of being soft. My tea and juice were great. Our room was nicely made and sleep came quickly although I was initially kept awake with the noises of the bed. Overall our experience was a good one.

It’s clean and good location but there is no washroom inside the room. So it is very inconvenient.

Best budget option for staying in Toronto, hands down! Even though the parking was a bit convoluted to get set up (it's a paid service via the University's parking system, not by the actual residence), it gave me a ton of flexibility and freedom to leave my car parked a few blocks away in an underground parking lot. The staff working the service desk were very friendly and helpful for getting me setup with a welcome packet. So even though parking was extra, it was well worth it due to the cost and location while staying in Toronto.

Friendly and fairly helpful reception staff. Room fine but a long way from ladies washrooms. Air conditiining leaked and i nearly slipped. It was cleaned up and when it occured again, cleaned again and a bowl left to catch water. No cash kept at reception so cant exchange money for laundry. Wifi poor Cheap so wasnt expecting much.

Overall it was excellent,well taken care of , immaculate, & a perfect location but it’s a little complicated finding the bathrooms & kitchens & needs to have better signs for people who are short term staying there ..it would also help to have a coffeemaker machine in the lobby…there’s just.a Soda & candy machine & water fountain. You can’t just get coffee in the breakfast room either & breakfast is an additional $22.00 , only when it’s open ..if you want to bring in food , food for purchase is a trolly stop or about 8- 10 minute walk away . The room doors r heavy & make a loud noise when closing ..the mattress was very comfortable ,I asked for an extra pillow &towel & it was no problem … would def recommend & stay there again .
