Great place to stay at a decent price. I wouldn’t recommend it during a heat wave, but it’s great if you enjoy historical buildings and architecture.

Knox Residence University of Toronto offered me an affordable, unique accommodation in a very convenient location. The ambience and atmosphere of the residence is excellent, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I would be happy to recommend Knox, and hope to be able to stay again in the future.
Beautiful and dramatic historic building
Welcoming room with Arts and Crafts style furnishings, leaded windows which open, and quiet, green outlook.

Great location and very affordable. The rooms had character and felt safe. Be prepared for it to be bit noisy because of the old character of the building.

It was great except the room was hot with no air conditioning. You can't sleep well at night when it's 26 degrees or more but very clean and friendly staff.

I loved all of it, how secure and quiet it was, the staff were amazing, the property itself was beautiful, and everything was within walking distance. The only things I didn't like was that there was no AC as it is an older building (i was able to borrow a fan though), no elevator for those staying on a higher floor and the women washroom was on the second floor (i was on the first) all in all though I had a fabulous stay and would stay again!

It looks like hogward. Helpful staff, good location, easy to get to downtown. Very very cheap washing machines in the basement. Less then 2cad/load (no detergent provided). Cheap, simple, provide everything what you need to conquer Toronto.

Student residence in downtown Toronto. Bargain accommodation convenient to everything in the area. Two 'watch-for' items: 1) bring towels & toiletries and 2) no air conditioning. Quiet, clean and very affordable option for an expensive city.

I stayed at Knox Residence for three nights. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Location is excellent, about 5 minutes walk to metro 1 and 10 minutes walk to metro 2. I enjoyed the stunning architecture and the small beautiful darden as well. The only thing I don’t like is there is no air conditioner in the room. I stayed there during heatwave, it was very hot.

Room was a little dirty, as well as my window and blinds were broken and would not shut. Being on the first floor this was not the greatest. Other than that, solid stay for the price

Dear Knox, I was staying in room 420 & my name is Clifford Ulmer. I checked out early this morning, Tuesday, but found the doors locked and no security guard on duty, contrary to what I was told at check in. I was able to exit the building and I put the keys in the mailbox outside the front door. Please acknowledge that you received the keys so I don't get charged for them. Thanks. Clifford Ulmer

Quiet place I've got a problem at check-in with the payment and they were super understanding. Charming and lovely place. Nothing much but for a few days and for the price it was worth it. Near tram station and 10 mins walk from the Queens park subway station. Not so far from the Eaton centre by walk. Food at 5 to 10 minutes by walk. Just one thing I didn't like was if you wash on the shower near the window people outside might see you because the certains isn't wide enough. But, end of June, there weren't many people so I only used it 1 time out of 5 and it was only because someone flooded the other one(I was on the 1st Floor on the west door)
