Toronto hotellit West End

Plussat: This place was so cozy, and in a really great location! I recommend walking around Queen Street, near the inn, for lots of cool dinner options. Because it is on the edge of Toronto, driving in and out of the area was fine at all times of day, as you avoid most of the city traffic and are close to the exit from the Gardiner expressway. There are trolley lines close by for public transportation as well. Breakfast is a must-have every day, they provide something new and delicious to try every day!

Plussat: Breakfast was just great,the best we had during our whole trip. Glenn does a very good job! He also did hte checkin and explained everything very detailed, the house, the room, public transport and so on. He tried to get the guests in touch with each other and was very kind everytime. The location is quite good. There are 2 tram lines in short walking distance which go directly to downtown. Walking to the lake shore takes appr. 10 minutes.

Miinukset: It wasn't that clean as it should be. The room itself was ok, but our room had a nice patio, which we couldn't really use (too bad!). There were a lot of racoon dropings, which hadn't been removed during our three nights stay. And we didn't want to sit and drink next to it.

Plussat: Loved the breakfast and facilities

Miinukset: We loved everything

Plussat: The host glen amazing man very helpful

Plussat: Great breakfast, informative host

Miinukset: Noises from the hallway on the first floor, no proper window

Plussat: Very warm welcome from Dorothy and Glenn. A different cooked breakfast was provided every morning, as well as cereals, bread, jams, cheese and fruit. A selection of pastries, gateaux and home-made cakes also appeared over the 9 days. Sometimes the cooked breakfast portions were too big, as I wanted to try the other delights. Location was good for King and Queen Streets, which had trams into the centre of Toronto. The end of Queen St was a bit run-down, but in general people were very friendly. Presto card useful to get cheaper travel around various districts and see the less touristy parts of town. Close to beach shore and boardwalk and High Park, where we saw Monarch butterflies.

Miinukset: Area was a bit short of non fast-food eateries.

Plussat: Quiet space with very comfortable bed.

Plussat: Great experience. Nice staff.

Miinukset: using fans by individual renters on their beds, and having electric outlets near beds. The dorm area/bed area is for sleeping. using internet or reading can be done outside. Great experience. Nice staff.

Plussat: Quiet, comfortable lounge areas.

Miinukset: Had been put in a bed I’d later found out someone was moved from, due to bed bugs. I then saw them.. I was moved straight after that though.

Plussat: There was no breakfast

Miinukset: There was no breakfast

Plussat: Close to some music venues I visited. I liked the small dorms and my fellow guests were quiet and respectful. The main door security was decent and the front-desk attendant was excellent.

Miinukset: There is a general air of shabbiness and neglect about the place.

Plussat: The only nice thing about this place is the location in kinda alternative district at queen st west and close to the beautiful bay. Beware that it’s not very close to the downtown though. The house is old brick, has a nice classy style, so it definitely has some potential.

Miinukset: The woman at the reception was very rude. The water from the tap was white and when I asked her if it’s drinkable she answered ‘yes but I can’t guarantee your reaction to it’! So I definitely wouldn’t drink the water there! Secondly, we had a double private room, which was only accessible through the main dorm, so every time you want to go to the washroom you need to go through the dorm. The main dorm also wasn’t kept very well, people leave their underwear on the ground etc. So in the end it’s not really a private room. The WiFi is not working. Also you are not allowed to walk inside the dorm in your shoes, so you need to have extra slippers with you. The floor in our room was very cold and the floor in the bathroom is always wet. All in all the value for this money is very poor, considering you are only paying for a place to sleep.

Plussat: The room itself was clean, as were the bathrooms.

Miinukset: Dirty corridors, dingy front door. The fact that you had to go through a mixed dormitory room to get to a private room. For a key "deposit" they asked for credit card information, which is extremely unsafe and poorly organised.

Plussat: Great, friendly and outgoing staff.

Miinukset: Shared space could be arranged and maintained better.

Plussat: I went there for a night with a friend. We had a show at the Budweiser stage venue that was really close by so its location was perfect! We didn't stay long (we took a shower, slept and left super early) but we really like the place

Miinukset: It's a bit hard to find, since there is no indication on the door outside. Just be sure to have the address with you
