The Only Backpacker's Inn

We are unable to accommodate local (Greater Toronto Area) guests.

Welcome to The Only Backpacker's Inn — your home away from home.
The vibe here? Totally relaxed. Upstairs, we’ve got a laid-back hostel; downstairs, you’ll find our full-service espresso bar, and right next to that, a cozy little pub stocked with over 200 beers from around the world. If it exists, we probably have it!

What we offer:

Free Wi-Fi
Breakfast included
Air-conditioned rooms
Two large private patios
One huge licensed patio

A few things to keep in mind:

We’re all about the traveler experience — so we can’t accommodate local guests from the Greater Toronto Area.

Guests must be 19 or older, and you’ll need government-issued photo ID (foreign passport or driver’s license) at check-in. We’ll take a quick photocopy to confirm your non-GTA residency.

Check-in is from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the café, and late check-in (9 p.m. to 2 a.m.) happens at the bar. After 2 a.m., we close for the night and won’t reopen until 8 a.m. — we do not have 24-hour reception.

Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before your reservation. After that, we’ll charge for the first night.

We’ll pre-authorize your card and charge a deposit equal to one night’s stay 48 hours before arrival. If that payment doesn’t go through, your reservation will be canceled, and we’ll notify you by email.

22.61% tax is not included in the room rate — it’ll be added at check-in.

If you booked through Hostelworld, please note that their fees go to them — not us. You’ll still need to pay your deposit directly to us to secure your booking.

See you soon!
