Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 21st April 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: If this hostel were a person it would be charasmatic - nice little place to spend a week, little hike into town but a different area of Toronto.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 24th October 2008 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: A hidden gem, how my mother told me she travelled during the sixties!! A home away from home :-) Rachel and zoe are always on hand to see to your needs!! A true cooperative operation, staff come and go and the seams between guest and staff do not exist!! Its just friends enjoying the kensington life!! Amsterdam in the 70\\\'s, San francisco in the 60\\\'s. An organic wonder in a modern world of consumerism! Stay before it goes, the perfect for the traveller on their own.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 7th October 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Nice hostel friendly staff a little limited on the bathroom front but apart from that it was good.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 25th September 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: If you're out to find a clean and quiet room then this is not a hostel for you. If you just want plain old good fun, then there is no better place.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 27th September 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: the hotel must be cleaner !!! We there\'s only 1 shower for 6 twin rooms : it must be cleaned at least every day. We stayed 3 days : trashes were not emptied, and bathroom and restroom had never been cleaned.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 9th September 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: I had a really nice time here, staff and other guests were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Did leave with hundreds of flea bites though....I'd still recomend it to anyone going to toronto just watch out for scampi!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 11th September 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: Still here, so must be good.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 10th September 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: the staff were quite unfriendly, working seemed to be an inconvenience that took them away from watching tv, eating or using the internet. room was small, too many beds, too hot - there was a fan on all night which was noisy. there are two cats in the hostel which are not meant to be in the dorms, but one was fast asleep on my bed when i arrived! an unpleasant experience.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 6th September 2008 - Age Group 4/5 Comments: Thanks a lot!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 2nd September 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: I dont like it when a 6 bed dorm is created in a room that should only have 4 beds. Staff were nice and location was great, there is a lot to see in the area and its not far from other touristy attractions. Dorms and bathrooms were dirty.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 8th August 2008 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: very nice location (kensington/china town); sometimes it was hard to distinguish between staff and other guests; no washing machine/dryer, but a big chinese laundry just across the street; breakfast every day!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Sweden 27th August 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: We had a really nice stay at the Planet Traveler's hostel! The location was good, in the middle of ChinaTown, the neighbourhood looked kinda rough, but it was close to downtown, and also to the Little Italy area. Staff was nice and very helpful.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 17th August 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Fantastic Hostel! It can't be better! I love it! Thank you for the great stay!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 5th August 2008 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: L'hostel se situe en plein chinatown,les chambres passent de 4 mixtes sur la reservation à 7 sur place.La propreté est bonne et les gens sont sympa.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 17th July 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: Like staying at a friends place :).

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 20th July 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: If you like asian food,no place is closer for all kinds of asian food.The place is good but probably needs a facelift.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 4th July 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: This is an extremely sociable and friendly place to stay and I met many people whilst staying here. The staff are leaned back and pretty helpful - they helped us organise a great trip to Niagara Falls and the CN Tower (you get a discount if booking it through the hostel) The hostel rents bikes for the day for just $10 which is a great way to see the city and is good for taking on Toronto Island. If staying here, be sure to go to the free BBQ on a Friday night. The bathrooms are a little rough and ready, but don't let that put you off. I'd definitely consider staying here again. Thanks guys!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 10th July 2008 - - 2/5 Comments: This hostel is in China town on a back street - not ideal if your own your own - I recomend another hostel if you want the heart of the city. The rooms are ok and beds ok - but very hot for summertime as fans are not that good. The place was untidy - and the shower not clean at all - but the free breakfast is a bonus

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 4th July 2008 Male 18-24 1/5 Comments: When I was shown to my room, there was a large pile of feces in the middle of the floor. If that is not enough of a deterrent... The hostess was not too friendly; they only accept cash, which they want you to pay in full on arrival; and the street was full of homeless people and drunks.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 3rd July 2008 Female 41+ 4/5 Comments: The two best atributes of this hostel were the location in Kensington, and the small size. There are two (old) townhouses, one with dorms and one with private rooms with a combined capacity of 39 people. The staff were relaxed, accessible, and helpful when asked.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 30th June 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: I had a really great time, the first night was a bit odd for me just because I wasn't used to staying in a hostel, but the staff helped out alot, and I ended up meeting some really cool people, and Overall had a blast in Toronto because of it. I would definately stay again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 20th June 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: Excellent location. Kensigton Market is fabulous and walking distance of everywhere. Hostel is very poorly run however. Absolutely filthy. Rubbish dumped out the back garden and washroom rarely cleaned.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 13th June 2008 Mixed Group 31-40 4/5 Comments: Only 3 wash rooms for so many guests is not enough... And the dorms are a bit small to have 6 guests! But ask for the 3 beds room "Beaches", it's nice.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 14th June 2008 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: It was a great place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone visiting toronto.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 15th June 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 4/5 Comments: I really enjoyed my time at this hostel. The staff was friendly and they thew a free BBQ for us so we could meet everyone who was staying at the hostel. Also, the fresh baked goods available in the morning allowed me to start my day very happy. The location was also great being central right downtown and also in the middle of the very entertaining Kensington market. Thanks very much!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 10th June 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: We stayed 5 days and the staff did not talk to us. We must go talk to them, always and always
