Have stayed at many hostels across Canada and worldwide, lovely old building, neat tidy and bed as comfy as can be in a hostel..all good. Well appointed kitchen, friendly staff. On,y downside is the one toilet, and one toilet and shower combo upstairs. This meant had to go two floors yo fi d an unoccupied toilet- and it wasn’t even that busy. Not a dealbreaker though- got a good sleep..
