I wish I would have read the reviews before booking the room for a night. I was in a rush and wanted to stay for a night only but as soon as I walk into the hallway not even the room, I realize my biggest mistake. They should NOT BE CALLING IT A HOTEL. My say that the only staff I saw at the front desk was really nice and I really appreciate her assistance. But besides that I don't have anything good to say about this place, definitely not Hotel. BE CAREFUL, STAY AWAY AND DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PRICE.

First night you could hear the neighbours clearly through the wall (if you know what I mean), then in the morning some crazy lady is yelling and banging on one of the doors near us. The washrooms are disguising - no soap or toiletries provided - you get one single towel. The rooms definitely do NOT look like any of the pictures! At least there's a lock on the door for a bit of safety - although we definitely didn't feel safe here. Sure it's cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Pros: No bedbugs, bed okay Cons: Filthy walls Dirty bathtub White sheets look tan Cigarette smell Weed smell A number of indistinguishable bad smells Ventilation isn't good, so room gets really humid I would only place $10-$20 for this place. It's pretty bad.

Current name of the hotel is West Queens Hotel Queens West... It's nicely located next to 24 hour tram-stop in the gentrifying art district, but it's still not quite gentrified so cheap bars are still around, as are crazies, there seems to be some sort of a community centre for perhaps rehab patients or so next block, so you get quite special people hanging around in the neighbourhood. The hotel if it was in Europe would definitely be called a hostel, it's very minimalistic service concept at best. We stayed for a week and room wasn't cleaned even once, had to buy our own toilet paper and so forth. The breakfast is included, but it's basically your average few packages of sliced bread, few cartons of juice and a termos of coffee added to the table on some of the days and never refilled, so you'll get some leftovers at best, cold coffee and empty butter boxes seemed to be most common for me, since I don't have the taste for putting jams and chocolates on my bread. It smells quite heavily of smokes and weed in the rooms, the rooms are hot and loud (24 hour streetcars and bars nearby, no proper windows). The shower kind of works if you give it time. Some of the service staff don't really seem to care about much at all, while few are nice as well. All in all, it's among the cheapest in Toronto that is still easily reachable by public transport and you get what you pay for.

I'm not sure what has happened with the other travellers but my room and breakfast were more than right for the price. People don't realize that prices are astronomical in Toronto and come with high expectations. It was clean cute and the staff was friendly. Excellent location!
