My stay at 49 Hostel was great! The hostel is in a cute little house, very clean, with a small kitchen and a seating area in the courtyyard. The owner was always available when I needed something. The location is good due to its connection to the subway. I would absolutly recommend it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location in a very bohemian area of Toronto with great restaurants all around. Also a good supermarket across the street. Dorm was nice and clean, bunk bed was sturdy and comfortable with clean sheets and a free towel. Staff were lovely and helpful Breakfast was good but could do with some bread and juice maybe?

    The hostel is good value for money. Possibly one of the cheapest accommodations in downtown Toronto, it is a fair choice if you just need a place to sleep at night. I was in the city for a work and just needed a clean and safe place to rest for the night before an early meeting the next day. This served the purpose. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom, good location close to public transport options.

    This hostel far exceeded my expectations. The location (bang in the middle of downtown Toronto) is great. Cleanliness (from what I saw) was fine. I felt safe in the mixed dorm I shared with 3 other people (1 man and 2 women). I did not get to enjoy the breakfast provided as I had to catch my bus, but the fact that it's included in the price is great. All in all, a great option for solo travellers on a budget. I'll definitely be back!

    I like that the beds has curtains for privacy. Towel and beddings provided. Private bathroom in the room. There's no locker in the room but there's a safe box for keeping small valuables. The hostel is in a nice location close to the CN Tower and Union station. Not the best hostel I stayed in (I had better hostel experience in Montreal) but I think it's best one in Toronto.

    This is not a boutique hotel - it is more akin to a youth hostel; rough around the edges, limited/poor amenities, poor construction, and dated/in need of renovation. It is not cheap either - definitely not worth the cost of the room - I've stayed in several in downtown Toronto recently and this is not a good option.
