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.

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.

If you’re looking for a clean and easy place to just lay your head down, this was perfect. Amazing location; streetcar stop right outside the entrance, and a public parking garage only 2 blocks away. Staff was great. Only downside I had was the AC was struggling, but other than that, loved it. Will absolutely come back the next time I come to Toronto.

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.

Right on a main transit line, beds weren’t the comfiest, but you get what you pay for, you have these fobs that you need to use to get into your room, into the bathrooms, into the building, and elevators, they’re on a keychain, so just keep that in mind you’ll have to hold those, the rooms were pretty spacious though

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.

It’s cheap. The bed was to high for me, I’m 155cm. The washroom was so far from my room. The room was noisy as the sewage system runs through the room. The bed was super small with a very thin wrapped in a noisy hard plastic. It was cheap but not a good experience.

The room was small but perfect for somewhere to sleep or even work during a conference. A great desk area and comfortable office chair in the room, and the university internet is blazing fast. Coffee is a bit of a trek in the morning before things open. The closest I found was Tim Hortons, about an eight minute walk away. There are many food options on Spadina. They do not clean or enter the room during your stay. They provide a towel, and luckily it dries quickly. There is a shared kitchen and a shared bathroom, with plenty of private shower stalls.

Do not get me wrong, for the price, this is decent sleeping area and the hotel is very conveniently located. However, it felt like a prison cell and we were wondering how students live in there because we only spent 3 nights yet i felt depressed. The walls are thin, can’t open the window at night for some technical issues, there was barely any light in the room. The women’s washroom was also closed off for a day. If you just want a cheap place to sleep, it does the job. You get what u pay for. The staff were very helpful and nice.

Front desk staff are very nice and friendly. The mens shared bathroom was cleaned the second day I stayed, but they didn't actually clean the showers, leaving hair and grime and the bad smell leftover. The room is okay but the AC vent is always seemingly "leaking" air and making this annoying high pitched noise. Part of the wall trim is hanging off the wall and was previously duct taped and there's duct tape holding together other parts of it.
