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.
I stayed here off and on throughout summer.Basic Simple place. Older historic building. Microwave n fridge in common area. Laundry. The only thing to keep in mind not much food access around. I walked everywhere u can take ttc. Security good there i felt really safe. Will be booking again next year.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
It's a student dorm so don't expect luxury BUT the bed was comfortable, the building and the area are charming and the staff were friendly. Would stay again.
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!
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.
The staff was really good. The cleaning staff did there best to keep things clean. People staying there put lots paper towel in toilet which made it hard for staff to keep things clean. I had no issues other then it doesnt say in listing u need to bring your own towel pls be aware. I am staying here again in couple days.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
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.

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.
This is a great stay for solo travelers who aren't looking for many amenities. I was able to walk to most of the places I wanted to go (some 30-40 minutes but I didn't mind). The only thing was the condition of the bathroom was not great. It was often a bit flooded and visibly dirty. However, I would still recommend this for a more low maintenance traveler.
