Höstel Toronto

very good

Arrived at 2:30am and he couldn’t find my booking until 3am, and then said the room I booked was full. He then turned all the lights on in the room at 3:15am when he brought me up and woke everyone up. They have tiny garbage bins in the room and bathroom so they are constantly overflowing. Super creaky and hard beds, flat pillows. The location is okay, and close to transit.

The house was very nice and clean. Downstairs common area was nice and the TV was amazing! Only complaint was that the bed and especially the pillow were quite uncomfortable. Special thanks for the great staff. :)

arrived in the early hours in the morning and had a bed waiting for me. It was warm and comfortable when outside was freezing cold.

I stayed at Höstel for one night for school/educational business in town the next day so my experience may be limited or not reflective of a longer stay. Staff were incredibly welcoming from check-in to check-out. Flexible hours for checking in and out. Staff were open to answer my questions. Linens and towels were clean and room was well kempt. My room near the common area could be more sound-proof especially late in the evening but I understand it's a common and frequented hallway and the hostel does have quiet hours which is very appreciated. Common area had many amenities which I am grateful for and other guests were also friendly which I think speaks to the overall communal experience - everyone was having a pleasant experience which rubs off and multiplies! Not all shower and toilet facilities were operational but this was not a problem because my floor alone was sufficient to service everyone on this floor and I was encouraged to visit every floor. Overall, everything was as advertised and I would definitely stay at Höstel again!
