If you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay in the summer for a short backpacking trip and don't want to stay in the traditional hostel, this is the place!
If you are traveling to or through Toronto over the summer with friends, I highly recommend staying here! It is looking within walking distance to Chinatown and a few subway stations. The rooms were very well maintained and they provided all of the linens for the bed. I suggest bringing an extra pillow and your own towels for showering because the ones they provide are kind of small. It can get cold at night in the rooms, so an extra blanket might be helpful but its nothing that a pair on socks and an extra shirt can't handle. The bathrooms were really clean and best of all, FREE WIFI!!! Since I'm from the States, my phone didn't work while I was there, so I heavily relied on free hotspots to navigate the city but it was great!
It was pretty quiet in the evenings and most of the people staying in the residence hall were 20-30 something backpackers and students studying over the summer. They have a nice breakfast buffet for $6 per day and you can get a gym pass for $4 to 6 (the pool is amazing). If you are driving in, I recommend parking at the graduate hall underground parking garage. It's just off of Spandia and two blocks north of Willcocks (it's adjacent to a coffee shop on the corner). It's $7/day but you have to buy a pass everyday at 8am or they will give you a ticket. I def plan on staying here again when I go back to Toronto.
