I enjoyed my stay here. The residence is located in a nice, safe area with campus security. The room was basic, but functional and the bed a bit uncomfortable, but I only stayed 3 nights and it had a full kitchen and laundry room right on the same floor. I would stay again.

The location is good and enjoyed the campus. However the transportation system is always delayed.
Inexpensive but safe option near downtown Toronto with great public transport. It's a university dorm room so it's not fancy, and the bathroom is down the hall, but he building is well kept and the staff is friendly.
It was my college residence which now caters to tourists visiting the University of Toronto area which is right dead center of Toronto with walking distance to all main attractions in this great city,
Safe and secure residence of UoT in the downtown area. Perfect location, friendly staff, and a reasonable price. I enjoyed the whole experience, except for the bed quality - so noisy and had stains. If you are travelling alone, this is a perfect option.
Stunning neighborhood in Annex and Yorkville. Historic University of Toronto campus full of lush green trees. Newman Catholic Church offering daily services. Safe, clean, and beautiful shopping nearby. This is the best part of Toronto to live in!
Quiet dormitory. Substantial $20 breakfast. Beside street car

It's a nice, clean, friendly, discount place to stay. I had only two issues: there wasn't much hot water in the showers; and the vinyl covering on the foam matress is both very noisy and too slippery to hold on to the bedding (which was minimal: one flat pillow and a synthetic blanket). But the staff are great, the location is terrific, and I'd stay there again.
The location is excellent, close to downtown Toronto, which is very convenient for restaurants, cafes, and shopping. Receptionists who are students are very kind and friendly. The inside of the facility is a bit complicated, but excellent security. The room is just functional and acceptable for the price.
This is university student halls accommodation when the students are away at home. It is very cheap for to be so close to the centre of Toronto. The rooms are basic but they are everything you need. Room was big and beds were clean and comfortable. The left luggage was fantastic both on checking in and out. Staff were helpful and friendly. I had no issues at all

It’s a dorm room in campus res. So much as you would expect. It was quiet and easy to access.
UofT is very central so easy to get about.
Good location, decent value, but the heat was on in the building for some reason and it was June 1. Weather was cooler than normal but it was very uncomfortable to sleep in a hot room. Even with windows open, we were sweating all night. The beds were not comfortable but they were adequate for one night. Would probably not stay again in the summer- not having an accessible thermostat could make for an unbearable night here.
First it needs to be stated that this is a university residence, not a hotel -- if you want the whole luxury hotel experience (spa, gym, room service, chocolate on your pillow, etc) this isn't the place to stay. But if you just want a comfortable bed and a quiet, private room, this is ideal.
The bed was certainly comfortable, and the rooms (and the whole residence) is clean and tidy. A wardrobe and dresser is provided, as well as a desk (it's a student residence, after all). There are washrooms on each floor (with showers), and guests have access to a kitchen and the laundry room.
This is probably the least expensive place to stay in Toronto (other than a hostel, where rooms are shared with others) -- in fact, the price is exceptional.
The front desk staff are warm and welcoming, and ready to answer any questions.
When and if I come to Toronto again, I will absolutely be staying here.

Great being on the campus of UofT. Easy access to public transportation. Beds are not the most comfortable but its manageable for a few days.
