You get a very inexpensive sleep in an un-air conditioned room with a share bath and kitchenette. An adequate breakfast is included in the price of the room. If you're lucky, you will have one of the upper floors for a spectacular view of the city. Facilities include a coin laundry and wireless Internet access in the computer lounge and café. You also get a warm and fuzzy because you are helping to support low-cost housing for students who live there during the academic year. Every time we go to Toronto, we stay at the Neill-Wycik, save a bundle, and meet new people. Love it!

Keep in mind. The Neill-Wycik is not an actual hotel ie Marriott, Days Inn or Motel 6. This is a college dorm with some private rooms for solo travelers.

No matter what, you will be sharing a bathroom which I found to be clean. There's a kitchen/lounge on each floor that I also found to be clean. The room had only a twin bed with linen and a desk. There was a nook to hang your clothes and some shelves to put things on. No tv or radio. Remember, this is a college dorm. I didn't come here to stay in my room 24/7. This place was a roof over my head when I was done with the day or night.

One issue i had was that there's no air conditioning. Luckily, the window did open and it was not too hot when I was in the room. Another issue but not a major one was no wi-fi in the rooms. However, you could go to the area where they serve the continental breakfast (which by the way is included during your stay and is ok) or you can go to the 22nd floor in the lounge 24 hours a day. With regards to their breakfast, if continental is not your style, you are walking distance to many places ie. Subway, McDonalds, diners, etc. My only pet peeve was the cleaning people did not come to give me fresh towels. It wasn't a big deal for me to get them myself from the lobby but if you're providing the cleaning service, drop off some clean towels. Lastly, check-out is at 10 am. You can stay up to noon but they will charge you for that. It's really not that much. However, if you stay beyoned noon, you will be charged for one night's stay. I opted for late check out and my total cost was still very cheap.

The hotel service is only available between May and August. I would definitely take advantage of this hotel. I plan on staying again next year.

I stayed only one night (luckily), but I will never return. There are no rooms with private bathroom and this is not specified at the hotel site when you booking! The common bathrooms are really small, the room itself is very small with no closet, no phone working and they give you a small single towel, not even two (maybe no one showers!).
The night I stayed there was a fire alarm, the fire buzzer started to whistle and we didn't know why! Only after 5 or 10 minutes, someone asked to evacuate the building! Fortunately, nothing happened!
The unique positive point was the breakfast, with juice, fruits, jelly, cheese, milk and coffee (even if an awful water for a brasilian!).

While this place may seem like it has great prices, some of the craziest policies you will have ever seen in your life, the agreement they make you sign gives them complete control to invade your privacy and harass you at any time, which these people will do, on a constant basis. This place is the biggest scam I have ever been involved with and have been harassed so much by this establishment that I had to leave a month early, and to no surprise was fined for that as well! The rooms are no bigger than any other dorm, and while the location may be good that really is the only thing going for this place. I seriously recommend you reconsider your choice as you will almost absolutely not enjoy your stay here.
