Guest Reviews
- Heather (10/5): - Ideally located to stores, restaurants and the ballpark!! Clean rooms and friendly
- Heather (10/5): - The rooms are unique,clean and functional. Staff is there should you need anything. Lots of shops within a few minutes of walking. Access to buses is a couple of minutes away. Kitchen access is a plus!! Been here multiple times and I always come back!!
- tyler (10/5): - Keep up the good work!
- Vince (10/5): - Very accommodating people.
- Alana Sue (10/5): - Looking at the entrance from the street, you may doubt whether you should choose this place, but it turned out to be perfect for my purposes. I stayed in a room that included a private washroom. I was travelling alone, so safety was a priority. I felt very safe and secure in my room. The room was very clean, and the bed was oh-so-comfortable. My room was also very quiet, especially considering that the guest house is on quite a busy street. The Kaisar Guesthouse is quirky in all the right ways, and I had a very comfortable stay at a reasonable price.
- Syl (10/5): - So homey and cozy for a great price
- Emma (6/5): - Was safe, and pretty clean. Good cheap option
- Marco (8/5): - I stayed at Kaisar Guest House for 2 nights to attend a concert in Toronto. I was very satisfied, considering it was one of the cheaper options I could find. The person who checked me in was friendly and great at explaining the house rules. The room itself (room 12), while nothing spectacular, was decent considering the price. It's perfect as a place to sleep in the evening, but not somewhere you'd probably want to linger (which shouldn't be a problem if you're going out and doing things in the city). In my opinion, this makes it perfect for short stays (e.g. 2-3 nights). There's also a lot of great food places nearby, and it's right next to the streetcar stop which is super convenient for getting to the subway. If you don't mind walking and the weather is decent, the subway is also not too far of a walk. The neighbourhood can seem a bit "rough", but I never felt unsafe. My only solid complaint is that you might get woken up by noise. My 1st night was totally fine, but on the 2nd night I woke up before I wanted to around 7am because I could hear loud talking. I was able to go back to sleep right away, so not a big deal for me (plus 7am isn't super early), but something to just be aware of. Overall, I'd highly recommend Kaisar Guest House if you're looking for a budget-friendly and convenient place to stay in Toronto for a couple of nights.
- Klayre (10/5): - Very clean hotel and the personal were so nice. It is in a very good location.
- Benji (10/5): - Had everything I needed and in a great location. No issues.
- Maxime (10/5): - The guy who welcomed me at the hotel was really nice and made everything about it super clear to me!
- Simon (10/5): - Nice clean room and easy check in.
- Alexandra (6/5): - This accommodation gives you the bare minimum of what you need for an overnight stay. We had neighbours who hogged the shared bathroom but that is no one else’s fault. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. You have to leave your shoes at the door which was unique to other hostels I’ve stayed in. Kitchen was available to us but we didn’t need it. Also definitely not an accessible space; stairs lead into the building and then to our room.
- Olivier (6/5): A room without a window - The room was clean, so was the shower. This is a basic hotel. Very decent for the price. The one thing that I didn't expect, the room lacked a window, which isn't announced in the listing.
- XingJian (10/5): - 。
- Tong (8/5): - It is a good hotel considering its price
- Keith Michael (8/5): - It was an okay stay. There’s a lot of places to eat nearby. I didn’t quite like the standing a/c because it made a lot of noise.
- Maria Lourdes (10/5): - Great location! Easy access to many restaurants! The pillows are super comfortable and the room is super clean.
- Brianna (4/5): - Definitely not as expected
- Jeremy (8/5): - The Kaisar Guest House is an extremely well situated little hostel. As long as you are aware that this is a 2-star establishment, and therefore do not expect much in terms of services or facilities, you’ll most likely be content with your stay. The Guest House is clean, the staff are nice, there is a convenient little kitchen with a fridge that guests can freely use, and the rooms are OK, if a little worn out. We enjoyed our stay, and while it is a little pricey for what it is, it’s still one of the cheapest options in the area, and the area is GREAT. I have no qualms with recommending this place for a short stay.
- Marcel (10/5): - very nice place to stay, everything is pretty close especially chinatown and toronto university. staff is super nice and helpfull
- Anne (10/5): - Lovely owners i booked my return stay after i ca celled my ither booking elsewhere
- Douglas (10/5): - It was amazing I loved it
- Alain (10/5): - a niche hostel that fits perfectly with the cultural and economic mix that makes this part of Toronto so dynamic and interesting
- Camira (10/5): - The staff was very kind and helpful, and there were plenty of great shops and restaurants in the area. Would definitely stay here again!
- Peter (10/5): - Lovely little place to stay in downtown Toronto! I’ve stayed here twice now. It’s very convenient and safe inside. The room I was in had everything I needed for my short stay and the staff are very nice. The area outside is a little sketchy with a church across the street that allows a large homeless encampment to stay there but just keep your head up and you’ll be fine. Other than that the area is great for food and shopping.
- Solangel (10/5): - Was our first time , we spend a beautiful night, I recommend ! Ty ! We’ll come back
- Jerry (8/5): - Close to China town
- YUNG (10/5): Welcoming environment - When i called the guest house to request whether i could check-in earlier than expected, the staff welcomed my request and the room was already ready for me. Even thought it was one night stay, it was a great welcoming environment.
- Angela (4/5): - Very loud, and no window shades. The room was bright all night, so it was very difficult to sleep.
- Deborah (10/5): - We had a great time. Thanks for your hospitality.
- Jason (6/5): - It looked clean and the staff was lovely, but we found a bedbug in our room.
- Kristina (2/5): - You get what you pay for Our room was at the top of these really steep stairs- if you had any sort of luggage it would be very inconvenient There are no blackout curtains so the room was super light super early The mattress was super uncomfortable The room was super hot Woke up in the middle of the night and the whole place smelled like skunk - was absolutely disgusting (I realize the place can’t control a skunk but clearly the windows and doors have zero insulation to let a small in that strong ) Would not stay here again- I’ve travelled a lot around the world and this is probably one of the most uncomfortable places
- Abayomi (2/5): - P
- Ryan (8/5): Good space - Was a nice stay. Rooms were clean, secure space, definitely will look at returning
- Furong (10/5): - Nice place to stay, clean and safe
- Vanessa (10/5): - House is great, so clean , organized… I was happy there , the only problem I had ! No parking in the property for guests and so many homeless around a mean actually they leave across the Kazar’s house a lot of mess
- hilary (6/5): - Its was a totally fine place! Did see two stage five bed bugs in the bathroom, one in the shower alive one in the sink dead. Wouldnt sit on the chairs because they have very noticeable sex stains. Staff was great and it was quiet but some things are hard to overlook 😅 Wouldnt write it off but wouldnt jump to stay again
- Andrei (8/5): - The service could be better, nicer
- ?? (6/5): - The room was right next to a ventilator on the top of next building, so the noise was constant.
- hanif (8/5): - convenient - great food options close by - comfortable room -
- Madisyn (10/5): - I’d definitely come here again! It was clean, quiet, and the staff were very helpful.
- Tina (10/5): - Staff was friendly and professional. Room clean and tidy. Was a great couple of days.
- Valerie (10/5): - Very good for the price. Great location, lots of cool shops and restaurants around. Tramway stop right next to it.
- Sabrin dilruba (8/5): - Well it was good service. Overall everything is ok . But it was pretty cold in the room and building.
- David (6/5): - Proprietors run the facility with what feels like military policy. Dont expect to congregate with friends or enjoy a drink in your private room.
- Aiden (10/5): - One of the most warmest welcoming places I’ve ever stayed at in Toronto! Super accommodating and polite and charming staff, and very well maintained ! It was super quiet, clean, friendly, and felt so homey. The area is so wonderful and has amazing cafes and street cars right nearby!! About 10 mins street car ride from Chinatown! Me and my friend adored our stay and we would absolutely stay here again!!! I highly Recommend this stay!!!!
- Ian (8/5): Good stay. - It was clean and quiet. Safe and secure. A few restaurants nearby , with streetcar service right outside. I stayed a few other times over the years and it was fine this time too. There are very steep stairs in parts of the building for people with mobility issues. But not every room needs stairway access. I rang the bell outside and met the employee fine and booked in quick. I recommend staying here for a basic clean room. Good for the price.
- Meyly (10/5): - I will come back next time
- zdenek (8/5): - Clean place ,great service
- Sudantha (2/5): - from the Starting, the Impression was like a Prison. No Shoes, Common Slippers, No Noice, No Smoking, No Alcohol & No Friends and Signature for No Freedom Agreement. Since the Area around the Guest House sorrounded by Homeless People, our Mind tends not to back the Guest House for Sleeping after Late Night Dinner from a far away Indian Restaurant and stayed for Sleeping ay nearby Homestay (170, Major Street). Then we collected our Bags only in the Morning without staying there.
- De Qiang (10/5): - Spacious and interesting place
- Ashera Jahzeel (8/5): - The staff was accomodating.
- Oleksandr (10/5): - 👍
- Jennifer (8/5): - The staff I met were very kind and customer focused. The room was great and the bed comfortable, which was what I needed! It’s a bit of a challenge navigating the building when unfamiliar but that was the worst part. Overall, great service, reasonable cost, and good options over a hotel. I’d stay here again.
- Salvador (10/5): - Staff is polite and place is located at Kensington Market. Good Wi-Fi connection. Room had what was needed for a short stay in Toronto.
- Eljay (8/5): - very small shared washroom/shower. But If you only need a place to sleep then it’s a good place! convenient location
- Kris (10/5): - For the price, it was well worth it, no issues at all.
- Donna (10/5): - Very affordable place to stay. Close to everything!
- Hilary (10/5): - Kitchen and neighbourhood
- Emma (10/5): - Basic guest house, but great staff, great location, felt very safe, easy access by public transport. Comfy bed, spacious room, fast WiFi.
- Danette (8/5): - I only give it 4 stars as it is not a 5 star class of accommodation. It is a simple, budget friendly gues house but tops in that league. It is so clean, friendly and centrally located. Highly recommend!!
- Nicholas (10/5): Perfect place for short term stays. - I’d recommend it. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were nice and accommodating. The house itself is cozy, clean, quiet and felt very private. For the price you couldn’t ask for anything better.
- Donna (8/5): - The room was very quiet. The bathroom (private) was very clean. It's located on a busy street with lots of interesting shops.
- Oluwatosin (10/5): Satisfactory - The hotel environment is clean and my experience is satisfactory.
- Taran (10/5): - Its good
- Wendy (8/5): - Wish I knew about the no guest rule beforehand but overall A lovely time
- Adeyemi (10/5): - Twas a nice and cool.spot with friendly staff service
- Buntong (10/5): - Perfect place to stay, if you on a budget
- Taran (10/5): - Its good
- Anouk (10/5): - If you're looking for something super simple, clean, with access to a kitchen, and you are on a budget, this is the place! My room had a desk and a bed with access to a small private bathroom. The host and other guests are very respectful. My room didn't have a window to the outside but if you're here for a short time or are expecting to be out most of the day anyway, this isn't a problem at all. Highly recommend. I will be staying here when in Toronto from now on.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice - Was very swag and clean
- Danette (8/5): Clean and comfortable - One night stay. Great communication with office staff during my delayed arrival. Very clean and comfortable room ( queen with own bathroom). Great value. Common kitchen area had coffee for short stays. Would definitely stay again. Great access to transit. It’s an older home so has .some of the quirks of its era. Regarding reviews about the location being close to food bank etc - I didn’t feel unsafe but, like on many big city streets these days, use your smarts to stay safe at night.
- EDWARD (10/5): - It's quirky with lots of steps, but it's clean and comfortable and a great value. Staff is very welcoming. Interesting neighborhood, streetcar handy, super-convenient location. Ideal for solo travelers.
- john christopher (8/5): - Good
- Lorraine (4/5): - Not safe for anyone with disability. Limited crockery. No television in room or no lobby or common room. To make it worse we had to pay for parking. Worst place I've stayed in Toronto..
- erik (6/5): - .
- duc (10/5): - Good experiences. Recommended this one. Perfect for who does the solo travelling like me
- Bao Ci (10/5): - All good
- Nayoung (2/5): - It is literallt not clean and room is so dirty and smelly that makes my whole trip teribble so bad. And it's not safe and cheap as well.
- Charlie (10/5): - The experience was wonderul and the staff friendly amd helpful :)
- Ilona (8/5): - Very good location, friendly atmosphere!
- Deborah (6/5): - Mid level place to crash that's walkable to lots of Toronto landmarks. Simple lodging with no frills.
- Darlene (10/5): - Service was excellent. Check in so easy. Very clean.
- Sonja (10/5): - Place was very clean. Secure and staff very nice
- Alejandro (2/5): - Do your research before you go. Location, amenities, safety.
- John (8/5): - Close to plenty of places to eat. Streetcar and bus routes is literally one minute walk away. Can walk to downtown in 30 mins although I do like walking and walk at a decent pace. Note that you have to leave your shoes in a cubby hole with your room number on it. There is a shared kitchen, although I never used it so cannot comment on it. There's no TV in room which is fine as that is not something that affects my decision for accommodation - as long as it is clean and quiet which it is. Would stay again if visiting Toronto.
- Robert (10/5): - Check in was easy. Staff friendly. Parking available.
- Mark (8/5): - The property reminded me of places I have stayed in Italy - small, quirky, but clean and with new room interior, modern and well functioning plumbing, and an excellent value for money. The location was very convenient for us.
- Gurpreet (10/5): - Okay so you’re paying a third of regular hotels. Shower is tiny, rooms are small. However, it’s clean, perfect location, and simple
- Terence (10/5): - Wonderfully pleasant staff. Great price and a nice place to stay. The accommodations are humble. If your goal is to save money to spend while experiencing Toronto, this is a great place to stay. I look forward to staying here again.
- Noriko (8/5): - The location is excellent! The building is old, not fancy, but clean enough. There was no tissue in my room, which was inconvenient, so when I got food outside, I picked up some extra napkins for my room. I came to Toronto on a solo trip, and I can recommend this place for a stay.
- Berenice (10/5): - It was very clean and staff was friendly:)
- Yanlin (4/5): - Bad smell, walls are pretty thin, not a single room just double room and cover another bed.
- Alexandra (4/5): - Unfortunately this rental is not like the pictures. My room, although it had a small window, was very dirty. The walls had drips stains, the covers are old and not white, the furniture is barely hanging. They used old furniture doors as slates for the bed. Kitchen is very dirty. The rooms are in different levels on a very weird format, with very steep stairs. All the floors are carpeted and stained. I was VERY mislead. My stay was around 120$ per night but I think staying in a shared hostel somewhere else would have been cheaper and better. I would rather share a clean room than stay alone in a rat nest.
- NIkola (10/5): - Good place
- Alexander (10/5): - Good
- Mykolas (10/5): - Amazing
- Bao Ci (10/5): - It’s a good place for a short stay, very convenient for shopping and dining, definitely will come back.
- Catherine (10/5): - Great for what I needed! felt very safe and quiet. Would definitely recommend if you need a simple place to rest your head!
