7 Top-Rated Hostels hotel in Toronto, Ontario

April 23, 2023 Darleen Reid

One of the most multi-cultural and multi-faceted cities in the world, Toronto is a welcoming cosmopolitan community. Its urban sprawl of city blocks, skyscrapers, modish cafes, chic shops, and up-till-dawn clubs is balanced by an expansive network of parklands, beaches, lakes and recreational facilities. It always has its thumb to the pulse, with something new going on or being built, and an overall energetic vibe. Ethnically diverse, the city has a vivacious cross-section of options when it comes to dining, entertainment, festivals, and events. Whether you're attracted by vintage cinemas and antiquing, hiking trails and river rafting, or luxury shopping and spa weekends, Toronto has you covered. Best of all, it preserves its history while also being thoroughly modern, with streets going from contemporary cool to Victorian in under a minute. The city is a fun amalgamation every step of the way!

Samesun Toronto sits nestled in the downtown area, in Kensington Market, one of Toronto’s most eclectic and vibrant neighborhoods. Filled with copious trendy bars and award-winning fusion restaurants, a memorable night out is just around the corner, and at the end of the night, you’ll never be far from your cozy bed. If you feel like staying in, we’ve also got a well-equipped kitchen for you to cook your own meals and a TV room for movie nights. Did we mention we have free popcorn?

Love the area, the breakfast was rather sad.

Love the area, Kensington market. It's very lively and multicultural. The room was nice too and the staff was friendly. On the downside, the breakfast was very basic and you had to wait in line and do some dishes, only to find out they were out of coffee.

Neill-Wycik Backpackers Hotel

Fine for the money

Reviewed By hcf1

Stayed here for 2 nights as I needed somewhere cheap to stay. I would say it's pretty good value for money. Firstly, it is a student residence, used as a hostel in the holidays. This is a bonus as the building feels safe and staff are always present. The breakfast was good. It was great to have a private bedroom for the price. The neighbourhood was ok, I felt safe walking back on my own at night. The shared bathrooms were small but fine. Towels, bedding, a bar of soap and plastic cup were provided. I had access to the kitchen, which I didn't plan to use. There were no utensils at all so if you do want to cook for yourself, bring your own plates, cutlery, pans etc. There were quite a few free activities laid on, which looked good but I didn't have time to go to any. The bed wasn't the most comfortable. The pillow was plastic coated and the pillow case kept falling off. There was no air con. My room was at the front so there was a lot of street noise with the windows open. Also, the rooms are only single glazed so it's still noisy with the windows shut! Bring earplugs. These are only for the street noise. The hostel itself was surprisingly quiet. Note, you will need government ID (passport or driving licence) and a credit or debit card to check in.

Undoubtedly the most unique place I have ever stayed at. The hotel as a whole was a very friendly place to be. We initially arrived to 588 Dundas (the room we payed for) and they told us that they had no room. So they sent us across Chinatown to 16 Willison drive. But for this I am thankful. 588 Dundas ave was the textbook definition of a dump and the clerk was an absolute dike. 16 Willison was definitely much more my speed and I’m glad that we got moved. In regard to the room itself there were countless selling points First off, The mouse traps set up definitely made me more secure about the rodent infestation. I was initially worried about the shower being too weak, but lucky for me it came through the faucet as well as the ceiling for all angles of coverage. The water did flood the bathroom, but let me tell you the flooding really did a number on the ant population. I also really appreciated the presence of pillows, sheets, and blankets. They may have been slick with oil but I wasn’t bothered by it. A huge perk of the room was listening to beating moth wings at night, the white noise put me right to sleep. I also found the room layout very curious, never have I ever ridden a toilet side saddle before or used a fridge as a trash can. Everything on the property was very clearly labeled. The number 16 painted on the outside at least a dozen times. If we needed to get to the front desk and the door was locked they provided 8 phone numbers to call.

Chinatown Travelers Home

I do not get previous opinions

Reviewed By 0_nika_0

Either I have been in different place or the place changed a lot. Travelers home was clean, like hospital clean. You cannot walk in in your shoes (which is good) and there are fines for everything that gets broken, so maybe the approach changed over last year. It was not big, but as I mentioned - clean, with laundromat and close to the city center. Good for few nights stay.

You deserve better! Don’t stay at this &$&&$hole

Do you hate yourself? Want to be treated like the rotten screetcrawling scum you are? Stay at University Apartments. Our economically sized bathroom concept, just try to sit on the toilet without going on a 45 degree angle with both legs out the door. Love drama? You’ll hear it all with our paper thin walls. Want to pay a $50 deposit which you’ll lose if you don’t keep your receipt? $5 per hour late checkout? No onsite parking? This is for you! Not just one location so watch out. Same managers, same problems. 588 Dundas St West, 43 Grange St and 16 Willison to start could be more. Some rooms come with 2 oven electrical outlets! No fridge or microwave. Bed is flimsy and uncomfortable. Want a late check out? Just text us to let us know, and we’ll promptly forget and padlock you out of your room, with your stuff safely inside, but still make you pay up for late checkout before you can get back in. It’s not a ransom, we swear ?. Don’t forget your wallet ?
