挺好的宿舍体验
Pros:

卫生好，居室宽敞，有空调，淋浴水很大。前台二十二小时服务，接待人员态度亲切。门口有电车可到达downtown。距离博物馆和美术馆基本在两公里内。在多伦多大学，环境优雅安静。

Cons:

床和枕头不舒服，没有被子，配备了床单和毛毯。配备了厨房，但缺乏餐具刀具和抹布，所以使用厨房后做清洁有些不顺手。有一个汤锅和一个煎锅，两个碗两个马克杯和若干叉勺。感觉是其他客人留下来的东西。酒店收费比我在booking上的订单多了二十多刀，不知道为什么，联系了booking还没有得到回复。

Excellent budget option downtown Toronto
Pros:

Cheap price and fantastic location, room was bigger than expected. Staff were very helpful, and they are very flexible with check-in times and changes. Great value for the money, especially if you just need a place to stay for the night.

Cons:

Beds were a bit uncomfortable and I had difficulty locating the washrooms. Rooms could’ve been cleaner, but at the very least the linens were well maintained.

Do not even think staying here… you will be bitten by bedbugs and fleas
Pros:

I. Just want to highlight the filth in the room… The bed was the worst I’ve slept on in all my travels…It was infested with bedbugs and fleas.. My arm and legs were covered in bites.they should fumigate that building.. the hallways smells of dirty feet.. The bathrooms were very poor and old the showers were a disaster no wate4 pressure and it was disgusting to put your feet in that little space……..The mattress is plastic, it is imposible to sleep there….etc etc etc…………….

Cons:

The cleaners…the bed…..everything’s feel dirty…. The room smell bad…..

Pros:

It is a great location in the heart of the University district. Good commute; shops and markets nearby. Good staff. Has air conditioning.

Cons:

One of the shower had mold in it. Walls and door were too thin. I can hear my neighbors and everyone who passed by. But keep in mind this is a student's dorm. I didn’t expect much and I for sure would stay there again.

Cost effective and convenient stay.
Pros:

The location is excellent, not far from downtown or Kensington market. The value for money is also incredible. The staff were really helpful.

Cons:

The bed was quite old and very very creaky and loud to even sit down on. The common room could do with communal ware to allow for use of the oven etc. even just a tray for the oven, a pan and a pot for the cooker would do.

For the price it is good, the showers could be cleaner and there can be more functioning showers
Pros:

Good location. Room was small but more or less clean.

Cons:

It's basically a dormitory so one should adjust their expectations accordingly. But I'd expected the common bathrooms to be cleaner, especially the showers. Not that it was a catastrophe, but it still could have been better. Also, there was only one functioning shower in my floor and the rest of showers were out of order during my stay, so you occasionally had to wait for people.

Pros:

I enjoyed the quietness if the building and around my room. Unfortunately I did not find the common area with the tv. Great location. I did not have to drive anywhere, everything close was walking distance. I will definitely come back

Cons:

BREAKFAST: FOR $22 all you can eat was cold. Food should be replenished every 2 hours. Other than the toaster nothing else was hot. Will not be eating there again. Major disappointment
