Two Peas Pod Hostel

I will stay here again when coming into Toronto! The hostel was very cute and in a great part of Toronto, very close to the bus station and right inside Chinatown. Everything was very clean and the staff was beyond accomodating (shoutout to Sarah who gave us a tour and helped us figure out where we needed to go!). The only thing I disliked about the location was the washrooms being located in the basement (a couple flights of stairs) which was a little problematic if you had to use them asap. I didn't realize there would be so many stairs to be honest but they have really made the absolute best out of the tall, narrow building that the hostel is located in. I'm unsure if they have an elevator, but probably wouldn't recommend staying here to people with accessibility concerns.

I had a lovely short stay in this charming little modern hostel. I've stayed in a number of newer ones, they often rush to open, w. little thought to guest comfort. Not here, would stay again! :D PROS -Friendly, helpful, efficient staff; let me drop luggage early -Comfy memory foam mattress/pillow, clean linen -Pods had it ALL: plugs (USB+Regular), curtains, light, TV+earphone jack, earphones to lend, even mini fan! -Wooden stairs didn’t hurt my feet/hips NEARLY as much as normal ladders + served as shelf -Many details, e.g. lockers (underbed+Common area); signage; welcome kit w. earplugs, lock, map; free laundry soap; option for WhatsApp contact; hair dryers; full mirrors -Very secure, fobs for all rooms + front door after hours -Extra amenities like coin laundry -Basic continental breakfast (toast, fruit, yogurt), didn’t have time to try waffles -Coffee + black tea free anytime -MOST AMAZING SHOWERHEADS, also I was glad for locking doors (washroom is co-ed) CONS -No way to turn off hall light at night, it shone into my pod above curtains :( -Security doors can be loud at night, lots of stairs to climb (be aware!) -Simple "Lounge", no couches, basically small breakfast room (OK) -Wifi cut out in evening and desk closes quite early, but I didn’t want to bother them -Washroom in basement = quite humid, hard to ventilate (they did their best w. dehumidifier), thus was a bit smelly (toilets, some mildew smell in shower) - BUT everything was very clean!

Check-in process was great and fast. Room is clean and the mattress is comfortable. I don't like the fact that there is no door in each room so you can hear everything when people open or close the main door. It is also would be nice to put snoring guest in the same room cos I was unable to sleep at all until morning even I had earplugs on. Washroom/bathroom area very stinks and not clean. I almost threw up a few times. It really needs more attention to clean it. Pubic hair is all over the bathroom floor. On my last day while showering I noticed something very tiny crawling on the bathroom floor. I looked closer, it was either parasite or worms. I jumped out of the shower right away and it is very disgusting. I notified the front desk guy upon checking out. I am not sure if he will do anything about it.

good services!!!. kind persons in the booking service (reception). They help to much to get information and guide in the town

Great place. A bit of a walk to get to washroom, otherwise I would def recommend.
