It was a great moment for me. The opportunity to stay in a hostel accommodation but I had my privacy totally, made my own meals and also had a great breakfast time with nice staff around. Walkable distance to the UofT and the CN Tower. This apartment is so good and I recommend it to anyone on budget.

For short stay
It was okay. Initially I had a shared room but another guest was extremely noisy when snoring so I asked to be changed to a private room and staff helped me. Perhaps they are not the nicer people you usually encounter working on hostal, they were not rude but diligent. The negative side is the reduced amount of washrooms per floor which is one for each gender (1 urinal + 1 toilet). Plus, I had my room beside the washroom and every time people flushed the toilet or turned on the dryer, it would trespass the wall

Might be a bit unsafe for people alone late at night. I (single female traveller) was harassed by a few people sitting outside/ on the street but not threatened or anything. Otherwise, really cool and central location and nice and clean, good operation systems in place and I would stay there again.

Samesun ran good activities daily for guests and had catered well for gluten and dairy free options for continental breakfast. Well equipped kitchen, however, kitchen can't be used during breakfast hours. Showers were small and beds squeaky, but I would still stay here again.
