I stayed here about three summers ago with my friends, we were in Toronto for a concert. At the time we only worked part time jobs and didn't have as much money to spend. This is a budget friendly hotel. It is good for just dropping your bags. I wouldn't stay here if you plan on spending a lot of time in the hotel itself. You can tell it was an old apartment building converted into a hotel. The rooms are just ok, nothing spectacular, kind of small and run down. The woman at the front desk was nice, she gave us a map and told us the easier way to get to the concert venue, which street car to take and where to get tokens. We took Via Rail to get to Toronto. The Alexandra Hotel was about a 40 min walk from the station. We opted to walk most of the time to save the cost on a cab. The hotel is in a cal-de-sac at the end of Ryerson Ave. I would stay here if I was passing through and needed a place to crash, but I would most likely stay elsewhere.

Just staying in Toronto for one night so didn't need anything too fancy. Wasn't anything to look at, little old and didn't look spotlessly clean. But the beds were comfortable and from the top floor we got a pretty good view of the CN tower and skyline

Read some bad reviews and was nervous about my stay. The place was perfectly fine. The hosts were nice, the room was clean. I walked home late quite a few times and didn't have any concerns.

Let's not kid ourselves. This ain't the Ritz. However, it's an EXCELLENT value for your dollar. You are walking distance from some of the best spots in Toronto and the rooms have all the basics you would get at a chain hotel for a fraction of the cost. I'd definitely go back.

The place was located within walking distance. However,
The bedsheets were not changed prior to arrival and smelled like bodily fluids.
Room smelled like lack of aeration and decaying wood furniture. This place hasn't been renovated for a while from the look of it.
The room was compact, but I guess for that price...
Something kept buzzing in the area all the time.
We had a few police cars with siren and a few junkies in the neighbourhood at night. So walking there back late was sketchy.
The worst of this experience were:
# The considerable amount of hair in the bath tub and under the toilet seat that were there even before we started using the place.The "fresh" towel had some long hairs and they were stained. Gross!!!
#The woman at the reception: she is the rudest person I have ever met. When we checked out, she was already dealing with an old couple who were behaving appropriately. She was very dry and her tone very insulting. After the transactions were over, she informed them only when she saw them still waiting around in those words: "what are you still doing here, GO". They were as shocked as we were. On this, I preferred to stay outside and let my parents deal with her. Unfortunately, I was the one who checked us in, so I had to sign some paperwork. Walked back in and said hello...the face she made. She didn't even answered back and tossed the paper at me and ordered me to sign. I was not impressed. She returned back our $200 deposit.
We had to give a $10 deposit for a coffee-maker, which we returned in perfect condition. That deposit amount was written on the paper which are inside the rooms. She pretended like she didn't know she needed to give back a deposit and started getting angry at us for asking about it. Rude rude woman. She motivated me to write such a review to spare my fellow travellers from similar experience. Travelling is already energy-consuming. Ain't got space for such negativity.
Will never go back there, and do not recommend it to anyone unless you are desperate enough to find a place to stay inside the city.
