Good Location With Transportation Conveniences
The hostel is located in the centre of Chinatown. If you don't mind taking a short stroll, Graffiti Alley is five minutes away. The Rogers Centre is close by as well. You will find getting around quite easy. The subway, and additional public transportation is close by too. There is even a Greyhound bus station within walking distance. There are plenty of Asian restaurants in the area.

Hostel Security Is Good
You don't have to worry too much about security. The facility has plenty of CCTV cameras mounted everywhere around the facility.

The Cheaper Option Is in the Basement
The room with the shared bathroom is in the basement. It can get noisy and you can hear people coming and going. Rooms with a private bathroom are not ideal either as they have a shower but no sink.
negative:
It's a Dodgy Place With Little English
The hostel looks a bit derelict and the neighbourhood isn't much better. What's more, the staff speaks very little English, so when you have issues communication is a real chore.
negative:
It's Almost Like Boot Camp
You will find a ton of signs around the facility telling you how to behave, or else! Warnings about checking-out, smoking, not entering building with your shoes on, and other issues are posted. On another note, the rooms are quite small and the ceilings are low.
