Very helpful & friendly staff, room was clean & quiet, Great View Only wish there had been a Micro wave in the kitchen. The breakfast in the cafe was great as well. Hope i can get a room there next June for Pride weekend. It is very close to everything. Could be hot in the summer.

I am living in this horrible place as I write these words. I had to find a place to stay and quickly and this seemed to be the right choice at a time....very bad decision.

THE BAD THINGS:
1. NO air condition - if you arrive at summer do not stay here, it is like sauna, hot, and humid.
2. DIRTY - all the cleaning is done by the students that live here (it is a cooperative) so do not expect clean rooms, it all depends if you were lucky and you caught the guy/girl cleaning and you can ask them to clean, otherwise it is a joke. The bathrooms are cleaned once a week, the kitchens dirty and stink because they do not take out the trash every day. So you can imagine how many flies it attracts.
3. NOISY - because it is hot inside the room you have to leave the window open, as a result all the downtown noise is in your room
4. DOUBLE ROOMS - ARE YOU JOKING!!!! - this is the worst thing I ever saw in my life and i traveled to Europe and Middle East. To make room a double they just took out the student desk that is inside during the school time and placed a folding bed with the worst mattress you can imagine; and don't ask me what is left of the living space when you place 2 bads, you just cannot live there
5. WIFI - it is a joke, one poor room on 22 floor with super slow internet, HELLO, you have 22 floors full of travelers inside who need to be in touch with people.


THE GOOD

1. staff is friendly , always smiling
2. breakfast is tasty but stays the same all the time
3. location - superb! you cannot compete with that


CONCLUSION: overpriced, dirty, hot and humid place run by amateurs with good location and tasty breakfast

In my book= AVOID ALL COSTS

The rooms are very basic and small. A double room has a single bed with an extra camp bed on the floor, in a room that was only suitable for one person. The rooms were not cleaned properly as there was papers on the floor. It is also worth asking for a fan as there is none in the room but are available if you ask for one. The location is excellent as it is a two minute walk from Toronto's main street and shopping district.

I stay here every year during the Pride weekend, and love it. Staff are SUPER friendly/helpful/accommodating, breakfast is excellent (seriously, you get like a ton and a half of good food), and rooms are always clean.

The ONLY drawback I've had w/this place is the lack of air conditioning (or even fans); I've been 3 years now and a couple were almost unbearably hot. Maybe in the future this is something they could offer as an optional 'additional' charge (i.e. have a window air conditioner in your room for an extra $10-$15 a night).
