Location is a bit far from downtown core, if that’s your main destination point in Toronto.
Pros:

Decent option for a hostel stay, especially if you wish to have your own room and space

Cons:

Nothing, it’s good enough for a hostel stay

clean and exactly what I needed.
Pros:

clean and exactly what I needed. The location on U of T's campus is fantastic! central, and I felt safe. The bed was surprisingly comfortable for a dorm residence. The price is genuinely one of the best I found in downtown Toronto. Will definitely be back!

Pros:

C'est un quartier safe avec le tram juste à côté, le bâtiment est propre et agréable.

Cons:

Il n'y a pas d'équipements en cuisine : pas d'assiettes, de couverts, de poêles...
J'ai du éteindre la VMC la nuit car j'ai été réveillée par une odeur de cannabis dans ma chambre.
