The
Planet
Traveler
Hostel
has
a
lot
of
things
going
for
it.
The
value
really
can't
be
beat.
Toronto
is
a
very
expensive
city
for
lodging,
but
the
prices
here
are
very
reasonable.
I
stayed
3
nights
in
a
room
with
pod-style
beds.
Given
the
comfort
limitations
of
pod
sleeping
versus
a
traditional
hotel
room,
it
was
as
comfortable
as
it
could
have
been.
I
needed
to
pad
my
pillow
a
bit,
but
it
worked
great
after
that
(you
may
want
to
bring
your
own).
Everyone
else
staying
in
the
room
was
quiet
and
respectful
of
the
others
staying
there.
The
room
had
a
thermostat
and
big
lockers,
free
of
charge
(I
was
nearly
able
to
fit
my
entire
suitcase
in
the
locker).
The
location
of
the
hostel
is
excellent.
It's
very
walkable
and
close
to
public
transit.
I
ate
delicious
Middle
Eastern
food
3
times,
at
3
different
spots,
all
within
a
1
minute
walk.
I
also
stumbled
upon
a
cool
book/music
shop
just
across
the
street.
The
rooftop
patio
and
view
were
great.
I
enjoyed
the
staff,
all
friendly
and
helpful.
I
hung
out
a
lot
in
the
lobby,
on
the
huge
couch,
while
people
came
and
went.
Customers
checking
in
or
with
questions
were
taken
care
of
quickly.
The
hostel
had
an
event
every
evening.
The
breakfast
options
were
plentiful.
For
as
"no
frills"
as
it
is,
the
extras
such
as
events
and
the
complimentary
breakfast
were
very
nice.
Lastly,
the
hostel
seemed
to
be
reasonably
eco-conscious
without
going
overboard.
I'll
be
back,
and
I'd
recommend
it!
