A good night's rest
Choosing the four bed ( two bunks) rooms give a better bed and usually a microwave. This room had a refrigerator too. A good place to rest and the shower works great. You can request a lower bunk if climbing isn't your thing.

I didn’t like the way the bathroom in the suit was, it was a glass shower with a toilet, sink and shower all in one, the floor being wet and dirty every time I went in was gross, plus they had a tiny shower curtain over the glass doors so no privacy at all.

All and all this was a good spot to stay. It is very clear once you walk into the building that you are getting what you pay for. I was in town for the Taylor Swift Eras tour and I didn't want to have to pay a fortune. The room was small and you do not get to choose which bunk bed you get. I was on the top bunk which was hard to get on and off of. not to mention awkward when your roommate is sleeping. The blinds in our room did not go down so there was a lot of street light coming into the room. I also felt like every 5 minutes emergency response vehicles were flashing by. The bathroom was VERY small. It felt like the toilet was in the shower and there was no room to change. The bathroom sink was outside the bathroom in the main room which was good for getting ready, however there was no paper towel or hand towel. I was told ahead of time that you would need to rent a shower towel, but a hand towel should be provided. The mattress is very thin. I would say it was half the depth of a crib mattress. They also had a very thin pillow. There was 1 little blanket provided for each bed. I also didn't like that when you turn the main light off the ceiling fan turns off as well, and you were unable to control the room temperature and it was very hot in the room. If I was coming again for an event where the whole city was sold out and I had no other option I might come again, but I would bring more things to make my stay comfortable.

Clean & Friendly
All the people that complained they didn't have a room when they arrived, is because they didn't fill out the info requested after your reservation. The staff was incredibly friendly, explained how to use the keyless locks & was prompt at helping me with the keurig machine. I am a professional cleaner & the place was CLEAN. It was also low scent which is very important to me

Cozy and clean room, friendly staff
The room was cozy and clean. The layout included a functional sink and small kitchenette. The staff was very friendly and helped us carrying our luggage up the stairs. They also allowed us to store our bags after check out while we explored more of the city until we left to the airport. One area to improve is the window and shades, they were difficult to shut close. Despite the noise, we were able to sleep fine as we are not light sleepers. Overall, very nice stay, I'd recommend.

No Parking. Hope you like hiking!
Parking! Oh did you want to park near the hotel? Not here I’m afraid. The have three parking lot options that are all over a mile away and a 25-45 min walk!! After a long day of traveling- to check into your hotel and find out you have to carry your luggage a half an hour to the hotel, and then back first thing in the morning. God forbid you would forget something!! Another hour round trip hike! I actually asked the hotel about the parking and they LIED saying it was only a 5 or 6 min trip. But they quoted us the DRIVING time!! Which - ofc so shady! Wouldn’t refund money. Difficult to work with. Stay elsewhere unless you like hiking with your luggage and leaving your car in strange, dark, small parking areas in not the best neighborhood.

Cozy, Affordable, Small Room Downtown
The Hotel Palmerston was a reasonably priced affordable stay in downtown Toronto. Located at Queen & Palmerston, this old house converted into a small hotel was simple, but comfortable. The double room with one queen bed was clean, but small. The European style bathroom is literally a large shower stall with a toilet and tiny sink right inside the stall. Room included mini fridge and Keurig coffee maker. Wi-Fi worked well. Bed was comfortable. Room was overly warm, and could not turn down the heat, had to prop window open a little. After online check-in, door codes were sent for the front door and for the room. Did not see or communicate with any staff while there, though they did respond to my email, about parking prior to the visit. Central location, access to many attractions. Downfall of the location, very noisy. No extra amenities, for example, no pool, no breakfast, no workout room, etc. Would only recommend if looking for a very low price. Sufficient but not luxurious, you sacrifice the extra amenities, extra space and peace and quiet for location and low price!
