Two Peas Pod Hostel

Really this place was a travel experience in & of itself. The price is higher than other hostels I've stayed, but well worth it just for the very chill and somewhat post-modern atmosphere. The word "Pod" is quite literal, in that you get your own private little space even in a shared "room". The location is good, but the staff are priceless. If you happen to be staying when they hold a social event on the rooftop terrace, I'd say make it a point to catch at least part of the occasion. Travelers are the coolest people to hang out with, and this brings 'em together. Even if there's no gathering, do your daily catch-ups on the terrace with a beer or wine and enjoy the view!

I like my pod, hanging out in the patio, and the free breakfast. The location is good. Friendly and informative staff. If i would go back i will definitely stay here again.

Got stuck in a room beside the beeping/slamming door to the stairwell. Hard to sleep in at all. Staff were great.

This place was absolutely incredible, it was in the perfect location for a weekend stay in Toronto. I was surprised by the amazing rooftop patio, cinema room and lounge. The front desk staff were above and beyond sweet, helpful and charismatic (unfortunately, that cannot be said for some of the daytime staff but it wasn't that big of an issue). I stayed in the private room, which was great for privacy and safe storage. The pods were incredibly comfy and cozy, however, it needs to be noted that not every guest is considerate and may elephant stomp, take loud early morning calls, or let the doors slam. I'm a heavy sleeper so it didn't bother me, but if this is going to be an issue you have been pre-warned. Yes, there are lots of stairs to the bathroom but it really was not as dramatic as the other reviews make it sound (I actually prefer the bathrooms to not be on the same level because the flushing, showering and hand dryers would otherwise be a nightmare). Yes, there was a bit of a husky smell in the bathroom area and the water pressure wasn't the greatest on my last morning, but I didn't feel like that defined the entire stay at all. It hostel felt incredibly safe, hip and modern. The pros HEAVILY outweigh whatever cons you run into. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, it was a very cool experience within the city and I 10/10 would recommend. P.S. the pods were very cold! My best friend loved it since this weather has been extremely hot, but be prepared if you get cold

Overall my stay at this hostel was pretty good. The staff was nice, check in was simple and they offered me a quick tour of the place. The rooms were great. I loved having privacy in my pod with a light, fan and even a tv. Bathrooms were decent, and very clean. The only issues I would say is that there are no doors to the rooms just a curtain. If I wanted to change I had to either go two levels down to the bathroom or do it in my pod. It was noisy having people slam the hallway doors all throughout the day. If there was a door, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Also, the fruit flies were everywhere! The bedrooms, the bathroom, the kitchen etc. Please find a way to get rid of them. Still I would probably stay here again for a couple of nights for a cheap price.
