The staff were incredible, the location was great and the concept of the hotel was amazing. We loved the cafe just steps away from our room. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the shower.

Lots of broken things in my room - the iPad, ceiling bulb, tile in bathroom + the wall was really dirty near the bed. Stylish, great location but felt like a hostel that didn’t get the upkeep it needs.

The rooms are generously sized and the bed and shower were both great. My room was on the third floor and there's no elevator. The system they have where you contact Reception through WhatsApp doesn't seem to be reliable, try and get the direct number to text/call. The young woman at reception was very apologetic and tried to take good care of me. I like the idea of a record player in the room but mine didn't work. There is no TV. The room was lovely and quiet but did look straight into someone's kitchen next door. The area is kind of student-y with Uni of Toronto very close. Walking distance to the subway and the Royal Ontario Museum.

Great staff saved it from a lower rating. They were awesome and appreciated their help, but would not stay here again. I feel like it was a cheaply done "cool" remodel that has not been maintained and is in need of a refresh. It felt dingy and everything was a little worn or off. My toilet was not cleaned, like brown splatters kinda not clean, and they immediately moved me and handled it well, but still - doesn't give you a good feeling. Also, maybe they put me in the worst room, but there was a water bubble and hole in the ceiling, a broken blind, stains all on the wall, all the artwork frames were bent or broken, and general griminess that I don't want. Despite good staff, wont ever go back.
