With a shared bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at the hostel also feature free WiFi, while some rooms also boast a city view. At Pring Guesthouse the rooms are fitted with a seating area. I honestly think this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. In recent years I've stayed in a lot of the highly commercialised chain hostels, and nothing against them (a bed's a bed), but this is such a refreshing change from that -- you can tell the love that's gone into every aspect of the design in this place. The owners are so kind and clearly love/know the area well. I got a heads-up from them about a nearby street festival that I wouldn't have known about otherwise, and suffice to say was thoroughly grateful for it! Hamilton would've just been a quick overnight stop for me otherwise, but I ended up changing my train times just to stay there longer and appreciate the city. There's a guest-curated map of local highlights, there are board games and books galore, it's small enough to be friendly rather than overwhelming -- this whole place feels like a true ode to community. And they have guinea pigs!

At the hostel, every room is equipped with a patio with a garden view. With a shared bathroom equipped with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Barefoot Inn also provide guests with a city view. At the accommodation every room has air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Very nice and calm place. We had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Due to flight delays, we arrived after the check-in time, but the hotel owner kindly assisted us in getting into our room. I greatly appreciate her support.

The property is situated 2.1 km from University of Toronto, 2.3 km from Yonge-Dundas Square and 2.9 km from Toronto Eaton Centre.

The location is perfect—it’s right in the heart of the city (downtown), close to shops and public transportation, making it super convenient to explore the city. The hostel is also warm and cozy, which made me feel right at home. The price was very reasonable for the quality of service and the central location.
