Located around 4 km from Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, the hostel with free WiFi is also 4.1 km away from University of Toronto.

We had a wonderful stay at Ode! I have never stayed in such a beautifully curated space with so much attention to detail. The room has everything you need, with recommendations to great places in the neighbourhood which is full of bars, restaurants and shops, with public transport in front of the building and small touches to have a very comfortable stay . Not to mention that the owner Erica was very communicative and welcoming. Highly recommend and the next time I am in Toronto I will definitely stay at Ode.

    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.
