Pring Guesthouse

Hamilton

This hostel is located in a 19th century heritage mansion, just 5 minutes’ walk from Hamilton city centre. It offers a fully equipped guest kitchen and free Wi-Fi in all dormitories and private rooms.

Bed linen, pillows and blankets are supplied in all air conditioned rooms at Pring Guesthouse. A locker room is accessible outside dormitories for guests to keep their valuables. I hardly ever found a hostel so perfect. No towering squeaky bed frames, cozy and quite elegant environment, super available owner, decent price for the area, great location. No drawbacks on this one, if I'm ever back to Hamilton I know where I'll be staying!

Loved the furniture and decoration, all made with local products, the amenities too, super good quality Canadian soap and the fact that there is a bluetooth speaker is a great detail that means so much. The neighbourhood is great and lovely as well as the recommendations written on the card left in the room, and the last top details is the DIY SPA mask left on the bed, amazing!!

Neill Wycik Hotel

The Village, Toronto

Located within downtown Toronto, this student co-op lends rooms out to the public throughout the summer. The hotel is an 8 minutes' walk from the Dundas TTC subway station.

Neill Wycik Hotel offers private rooms with shared washrooms and a kitchen area. Rooms include linens, a small towel and a bar of soap. Daily housekeeping is also available. The property also has 24/7 security and front desk staff. Such a great value for money! It's amazing. Literally impossible to find something that is at this level of price and has this level of comfort in Toronto. The location is alright, it's not super duper central per se but it's still downtown. Just a bit further down Gerrard St, but you can get to Yonge in like 5 minutes walking. The rooms are very private, there's like a dorm thing with 5 rooms in it or so (could be wrong) and sometimes you're like the only person in this dorm thing so it's actually super private. But yeah, the toilet and bathroom are shared - which is totally OK at this price point. You get your own room where you can sleep peacefully alone - this is much better than your usual backpackers. Hotel receptionists are also very nice and courteous - they will go above and beyond to take care of the guests. There's also complimentary breakfast. It's not fancy but will get you going.
