HI - Toronto Hostel instills faith in HI Hostels. The number one thing that is noticeable about the HI Toronto is its atmosphere -- fun, friendly, and lively, it's a great place to base a city break.
Location
Given Toronto's excellent public transportation network, nowhere is ever in a particularly difficult location. The hostel is conveniently enough located near King underground station, which is about two hundred meters away, or if you're coming off the Airport Express bus the nearest stop is the Royal York Hotel, about a five- or ten-minute walk.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The hostel offers dorm and private rooms, which are all clean and comfortable. Privates have en-suite bathrooms.
Common Spaces
There is also ample luggage storage, a coin-operated laundry system, reasonably priced internet access on a panel of computers along the back wall of the common room. The common room has comfortable (if a little limited) seating. There's a kitchen, a pretty roof-top patio which often hosts barbecues and, best of all, a great little cafe downstairs in the basement serving delicious breakfast and dinner (not included in bed price). The place pretty much has everything a guest could really want.
The crowd staying here are predominantly young, fun-loving and eager to participate in the many activities on offer at the hostel. From comedy nights, quiz nights, and karaoke to guided walks, sporting excursions, pub crawls, and barbecues there's an extensive list to keep anyone occupied during their stay and build up friendships with fellow guests. Even the lone traveler can't help but have a social buzz at this hostel.
Summary
It's easy to enjoy a great stay amid this friendly, fun, safe, and comfortable environment that makes for one of the best hostels around.
