Summary of traveller reviews

Samesun Toronto offers a fantastic location in the vibrant Kensington Market, perfect for solo travellers and groups. Guests praise the friendly staff, clean facilities, and good value. Some mention the surrounding area can feel a bit sketchy at night due to the presence of homeless individuals, but this is generally not an issue within the hostel itself.

Hi guys! It was a great location but the cleanliness at least in my washroom which was shared and the atmosphere weren’t great. The staff were awesome esoecislly front desk, I only gave a neutral score in security due to the fact too much homeless are around the area and they are always on the lookout for some money. But overall I think the score is fair for the value of money.
