Easy check in and check out process. Rooms are incredibly quiet especially for such a central location. Curtains are not blackouts, if that’s something you’re looking for. Excellent value for the price and location.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Clean, quiet, comfortable, and easy to access. Was not sure what to expect, given that it is a university residence, but I was pleasantly surprised. Only feedback is that I would have liked the option to have towels/linens changed or the room cleaned at some point (perhaps halfway) for a 5 day stay. Overall good value and would happily return.

The staff were cordial and helpful. The facility was clean and functional as you might expect of a university residence. Just the basics but when the basics are all you require then this option is an excellent one. Would happily use it again whenever the occasion arises.

Student dorm room with bed, desk, (nasty) desk chair, with free access to washroom, showers, and kitchen. Other guests were respectful and friendly. Bikeshare bikes available right outside the building. Easy to walk to streetcar and busses - public transportation. Would consider staying again. Thanks from Iowa, USA.

This was perhaps the worst mistake I've ever made in booking a hotel room. Fine print doesn't say that it's a shared "all genders" restroom for men, in which 2 of the 3 showers were out of order and the third one was a filthy bathtub. Graffiti was riddled throughout the bathroom and I thought to myself..."this is probably pretty close to what prison feels like." The room itself had A/C that barely worked and the bed was a plastic-covered mattress that the sheets couldn't grip, so the sheets kep sliding off the bed every time you moved, exposing the mattress itself. The coving in the room was absolutely disgusting and has probably never been cleaned. I had a two night booking and grabbed a proper hotel for my second night, eating the cost because the place was so disgusting and in such rough shape. Advice to UofT - if you want to rent out your dorm rooms to people attending the university in the summer session, do yourselves and your GUESTS a favour and at least have some pride in the product you are providing. This was lazy at best, but very negligent and off-brand. I wouldn't even want a student to stay in those quarters for the regular school year. Gross. Felt like a homeless shelter.

The room was perfect for my needs, but the showers were not so clean and the kitchen was terrible (mostly because other residents would not clean up properly, but part of the issue is also that not enough is provided for people to cook and clean).

Disliked: Cleanliness
From outside the rooms the building looks good. But the bathrooms were dirty, the bedroom was dirty (vacuuming would have clearly been needed). There were light-filtering blinds but they still let light through. All doors auto-shut with a bang. No temperature control and it was too warm for my taste. The bed linens were clean and smelled good, however.

They put me in the WRONG building. I specifically booked 45 Willcocks, and they put me in 40 Willcocks. Their excuse was “we’re fully booked”. So?? I booked this over a month ago, you need to ensure there is availability prior to booking. Also, I got a migraine because three mornings in a row I woke up to hammering at 6am, and drilling at 7am. The drilling continued throughout the day and disturbed my work. No one mentioned construction at the time of booking. They weren’t able to switch rooms. Unbelievable. Noisy neighbours and noisy other tenants, lots of children/groups. Avoid this place at all costs.
