I had low expectation coming here in the first place, and it was worse than expected. Entire place smelled, sheets on bed had stains on them, showers were disgusting, beds are incredibly uncomfortable and loud when you move even slightly. I know it’s not an expensive place to stay, but for over a $100/night, I would expect a little bit better. One plus was staff was incredibly friendly.

The check in process was complicated. The place was fairly clean, but the mouse traps threw me for a loop. I guess that is normal for a big city?

Inexpensive but safe option near downtown Toronto with great public transport. It's a university dorm room so it's not fancy, and the bathroom is down the hall, but he building is well kept and the staff is friendly.

Wilson Hall Residence is exactly what it claims to be: a university residence. It is clean, safe, comfortable, and affordable. It's a great place to base a visit to Toronto.

First it needs to be stated that this is a university residence, not a hotel -- if you want the whole luxury hotel experience (spa, gym, room service, chocolate on your pillow, etc) this isn't the place to stay. But if you just want a comfortable bed and a quiet, private room, this is ideal. The bed was certainly comfortable, and the rooms (and the whole residence) is clean and tidy. A wardrobe and dresser is provided, as well as a desk (it's a student residence, after all). There are washrooms on each floor (with showers), and guests have access to a kitchen and the laundry room. This is probably the least expensive place to stay in Toronto (other than a hostel, where rooms are shared with others) -- in fact, the price is exceptional. The front desk staff are warm and welcoming, and ready to answer any questions. When and if I come to Toronto again, I will absolutely be staying here.

Great price, quiet and clean. Bed not too comfortable. Washrooms a far walk down the hall, not too great for middle of the night. Recommended parking garage a distance away and the machine wouldn't allow me to pay past 6am for the next day.

Pretty poorly kept place. Yeah on the hallway, weird smell in the kitchen, creaky beds. Two of the three shared showers (probably shared among 30-40 guests!) were unusable. Nice people in the front desk but generally less informed than one would expect.
