The staff prioritize cleanliness and have certain rules that make staying in the shared pods even better. I have literally no complaints I stayed there for 3 days. It was peaceful. Thank you! I’ll definitely visit again in the future. ##### Rosy Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### skye Nov 15, 2024 Liked: Staff & service It's not luxury but for the price It's good. Staff is very nice and people are generally quiet and respectful of others. Across the street from the Sky Tower, around the corner from a grocery store, and right down the street from Queen St. ##### skye Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy Oct 1, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff indeed is helpful including tourist information. The cheapest hostel in town, you get what you pay, good value for money. Wifi even on the 3rd level is connected well.

I didn’t see there was one on the counter because I have vision problems. There was no sign in the room. Second day I met the same woman, asked if there was WiFi and password, she said, go to the reception desk to see. She could have told me the password which is a simple one. The woman toilet room has some slot ran out of toilet paper for more than one day. The genitor seemed watched his cell phone a lot. Some travelers dumped their food into kitchen sinks, and some didn’t clean the utensils well or clean the mess they made. ##### Qingyi Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Duchess Wade Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The room I had no ##### Duchess Wade Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle Mar 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a great place.

Holes and half painted walls, grubby rooms and bathroom, and the kitchen is filthy. Didn't even want to put my bag down. Security is bad, homeless people living there trying to grab spare beds, just walk into the rooms as noone locks behind them. Got zero sleep as ambulance arrived 3am blaring their horn to be let in? Also the bedding was a sleeping bag... ##### Miss I Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sudhir Nov 8, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Nice friendly staff. Excellent location. Liked fan in room.
