Staff were amazing and the rooms were clean. Had a shared bathroom but we never had to wait and they were very nice. Got in to a show for free and was an amazing price overall.

Lage gut, Rest nicht
Pros:

Die Lage ist wirklich super. Jedoch nicht zum Schlafen, weil man direkt an der Hauptstraße ist. Wir haben tatsächlich vom lauten Jazz nichts mitbekommen, waren aber auch nicht da.

Cons:

Winziges Bett, winziges Bad, für 2 Personen 3 Nächte einfach viel zu klein. Den Koffer kann man nicht verstauen, alles ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen

Toronto is a great place to visit. This hotel is fine if you're traveling on a budget.
Pros:

The price was great, as was the location. The music and bar food were good in the adjoining bar.

Cons:

I was up one flight of stairs and so the rooms are over the performance space of the jazz club. You can hear the music in your room until at least 11 PM. They advertise 'coffee and toast' included, but that's not until 9:00-9:30 AM. The rooms are small, but OK. My room had a private bathroom in the room, but the sink was very small and arranged in such a way that you couldn't conveniently spit in it when brushing your teeth. Other rooms apparently are more like living in a dorm when you share a bathroom that opens on the hall.

Un hotel limpio, bien ubicado y con trato amable.
Pros:

La ubicación cerca del metro y con varias opciones de farmacia y restaurantes cerca. El trato del personal, fueron muy amables y acogedores en todo momento. La opción de desayuno con pago, delicioso!

Cons:

Un soporte plegable para maletas sería útil. Es un hotel antiguo, así que no hay elevador (en nuestro caso no fue mayor problema porque nos tocó primer piso).
