Zephyr Vacations from $447

Super clean, and fantastic location to explore the city on foot. Also easy access to the Streetcars, and grocery stores. Communication could have been better - several messages on platform have gone unanswered - but the staff on site were super helpful. Room (203) was finished to a fairly high standard, although if you are a light sleeper you may benefit from some ear plugs as you face onto fairly busy road, and the dividing wall/ filled door to the next room is pretty thin. Some fantastic eateries around - Mikaku around the corner was a standout (approx 3 min walk), and Bisou French cafe (approx 5 min walk) had some incredible pastries.

The only complain I have is that they are not super strict with their quiet times. At least from what I have noticed. People were laughing and talking on high volumes past 11 pm; I was waking up multiple times through the night from someone's stomping on the floor. But the hostel itself is amazing. Multiple washrooms with showers, you can book private room, shower gel and shampoo provided, along with towels (need to pay for extra). Located in pretty...interesting spot of the city, let's say that. The building is old. But overall my experience was positive. It is the place to come, unload your stuff, eat (what you buy, I suggest frozen meals), and go on your adventures.
