For my first hostel experience, it was really great! The dorms, private bathrooms, and common areas are clean. The staff is very friendly, making you feel at home, and the other guests add to the welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Best owner, we were watching tv in the shared living room, and the owner came there with a new TV so we helped to set it up and it was super funny. Cool place, and coolest owner.

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.

A shame about our bed bug experience, because every part of the hostel was otherwise excellent. Nice staff, fantastic location, good value. Given that the bed bugs didn’t get us immediately I’d wager it was just bad luck with a previous or neighboring guest

Location is just a 20 minute walk from Union Station Bus Terminal. The walk is through skyscraper neighborhood, I felt safe walking there around dawn. The hostel itself is across the street from a park where it looks like there is a homeless encampment? There were a few tents there in April 2024. Its existence never made me worry about my safety. Dormed beds are fine. Nice privacy curtains.

This is the best youth hostel I have ever stayed in, it is very clean, the house is cosy, there are many items provided, you are very kind and friendly, I feel that you are very attentive to the management, I really want to stay here a little longer.

Price is very good - significantly cheaper than other hotels in the area. I'll also note a bunch of reviews mentioned scams, which was not my experience: they put a $200 deposit on my card, but it was refunded within a day of checking out. Given that it's a very cheap hostel, they charge for things nicer places would not (e.g., leaving towels in the shared bathroom), but I was very careful to leave the room in exactly the state I got it, and got my full deposit back.

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.

The localisation is good, the hotel is clean and has an interesting atmosphere. I liked the coworking space. I really enjoyed my stay there. I think it is a great option if you like staying at youth hostels.

This hostel is safe, quiet, and the beds were comfy and clean! It's really nice to stay in a small town like Maynooth and access hiking in the area at a very affordable price.
