Very Faulty towers feel, the decor is tacky and old, the facilities under appointed and many non functional, but the utterly filthy kitchen and bathroom (hairs, built up soap scum, shower didn't work, unwashed utensils, unhygienic dual use of sink for chemical use and dishes - in a cupboard!! And dust filled room with litter under the bed and hairy... More

I enjoyed my stay at the guest house. For an older building, it was quite well maintained. The service I experienced was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. My room was large and comfortable. I had to share a bath, which was clean and tidy. The location was `great`. Close to the subway, UofT, Museum, shopping and lots... More

Cheap and nice guest house in the nicest area of Toronto. The location is perfect right next to Spadina Subway Station, which makes getting around and getting to and from the airport very easy. Very friendly and helpful staff. Has air conditioning, which you will need in the summer. I recommend paying the extra 10 CAD to have one of... More

Despite the ideal location in the Annex and steps from Bloor Street West; despite the very nice over worked staff.. DO NOT STAY HERE! I had booked online from the UK and was required really to stay for the week. I had been quoted a very cheap rate, (that would still have been expensive taking it all into consideration!), which...

I stayed 2 weeks at the Global Guest House and I had an overall positive experience. The location can't be better: if you like to walk, don't get a pass because you won't need it, but if you're kinda lazy, Spadina station is right next door=2 subway lines + the most frequent street car line + buses. I stayed in... More

This is one of the nicest places I've stayed at. Great location and great value. A charming building that is over 100 years old. Free wifi internet and free local calls. More

First: This is a review on the "Borden St. House", which is also run by Global Guest House and a 10min walk away from the main office: A good place to stay if you want to have your own privacy (meaning a spacey room, incl TV + fridge) , yet there's a huge living area + full kitchen for socializing...

1. Staff were rude 2. Rooms were small, pull out sofa bed (wheres the real bed?) 3. Dead mouse under the bed (wondered why there was a strong smell of herbal cleaner) 4. Untidy, DONT STAY AT THE GLOBLE GUEST HOUSE. 5. Walk 5 minutes up the road and there is a lovely clean, friendly B&B for $22 a night. More

You can't beat the proximity to the TTC(subway) - entrances are next door and across the street. You really do not need a car as you're within walking distance to a number of attractions. It's not the fanciest of places, but if you need a safe, clean and cheap place to stay, this is a good value. You get a... More
