No bathroom sink, very loud air conditioner, no top sheet on the bed, very noisy outside

Fairly inexpensive, very close to a lot of eating and coffee shops

The location is in downtown which made it easy to travel to all the city pass attractions. From outside the hostel looks little bit shady but inside it is much better. Dormitory was really small, if u r just looking to spend a night and fresh n up this is a budget friendly place.

It was hot in May, even with AC and fan on. Facilities are pretty minimal and the bed is squeaky

It's cheap compared to other options downtown Toronto and it's totally a fine place to spend a night or two in

I think the hotel needs a space just for having coffee can't even drink water. In my opinion no good. the amount I paid is the same amount in a hotel that has a coffee area.

hotel always clean positive point

Towels and sheets?

I forgot about the breakfast

Stayed in May 2025

No kitchen, no common area, no laundry

The hostel Is nice. Clean and with restroom inside the room. But It miss a common kitchen and a common area so impossible to know people or stay longer. Overall I had a good time. And 5 stars to Vas, the receptionist. He was so kind with me, he helped me and Always try to keep my experience as nice possible.

Sharing is difficult if the sink is inside the room, it disturbs everyone if you use it.

Location was easy to go to.

We found bed bugs

The staff were lovely

No fridge or Oven provided in 10 bed. There were two set of very steep staircase, so it's hard to commute especially if you have luggage.

There was no breakfast in my package. Location was great.

I was given the wrong pass word when tried to enter hotel Hostel Gentleman came down to see 👀 me let me in than got the right password information and said they changed the password that i got earlier from the woman as i checked in and it was to cold because person sleeping above me had window open about 1 inch and could not close window because it was broken at bottom and bent in on both ends

It was a good location right near Transit

Amenities

The amenities were passable but the mattress was so comfortable

I actually did not stay there even though I pre-paid a room. When I drove there, I found the neighborhood to be very sketchy. Could not find a place to park, and even if I could, I would not be comfortable leaving my car overnight at the place. I decided to leave once I could not find a place to park. Since I did not go inside, my ratings are solely based on what it felt from the outside.

Cleanliness, really warm (we can’t open the window)

The location of the hotel was really good, with restaurants and bars close and a tram direct to the station

Some plugs didn’t work Could have done with some spoons.

Cosy room Walkable location

A shower would have been nice.

It is quiet with a fairly mature clientel. Street car stops are located right outside the front door.

In terms of the Wi-Fi, the connection neither stable nor smooth. I wish they can upgrade or improve their Wi-Fi.

I stayed in a six bedroom, female dormitory. In general, it’s clean and comfortable. And it’s a reasonable price with the facilities and service I had. There is a bathroom with a toilet in the room, but if people take a shower, the washroom with the toilet becomes completely wet.

The area was kinda sketchy, once I couldnd't open the front door because a homeless guy was sleeping in front of the door and the door stucked. Bed matress was very thin and old so not very confy. Bathroom was full glass with curtain so some people said it's not bery comfortable.

The location is very good, you can walk to Queens street (the fashion district). Staff were very nice and helpful. I think this is for the price you get, so i am satisfied.

A lot of noise outside and in the corridors.

Convenient location to visit Chinatown.

It was so bad during 2nd night our stay. It sounds like two ladies on the hallway or from the other rooms yelling in the middle of the night from 12:30am to 6am - imagine that. Hope the management have notice them and kick them out from the hotel. They are yelling all the time like no respect from other guests.

No breakfast offered but not a problem.

The room has a peculiar smell and needs a larger exhaust fan to switch the air

OK

What could have been better would have been a dining area.

The Palmerston Hotel is cost effective, and you get a bunk, shower, and toilet. No kitchen and some rooms allow eating & mine didn't. However, the plus is location, location, location. So many restaurants, shopping, & nightlife fun. Public transportation is very good. And if you like cannabis the Palmerston Hotel is in the right spot. Now it is not accessible for people who walk with a cane, rolling walker, or power wheelchair, this is a walk-up stairs hostel.

No wifi working. Very dirty at the entrance. The bunkbeds are very short and small its feels a little claustrophobic I actually find it ok but the reviews of other people are very horrible The heater turns off if you turn on the microwave and both shut down after

The managers were very gentle and helpfull, all of them :).

The room could've been cleaned and updated.

The location is good, the cleanliness is decent, and the price is good for a private space.
