I honestly think this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. In recent years I've stayed in a lot of the highly commercialised chain hostels, and nothing against them (a bed's a bed), but this is such a refreshing change from that -- you can tell the love that's gone into every aspect of the design in this place. The owners are so kind and clearly love/know the area well. I got a heads-up from them about a nearby street festival that I wouldn't have known about otherwise, and suffice to say was thoroughly grateful for it! Hamilton would've just been a quick overnight stop for me otherwise, but I ended up changing my train times just to stay there longer and appreciate the city. There's a guest-curated map of local highlights, there are board games and books galore, it's small enough to be friendly rather than overwhelming -- this whole place feels like a true ode to community. And they have guinea pigs!

After a few of hostels in Canada I can say the Haven Hostel is a very warm place to stay. Everybody was giving me a feeling to be very welcome. The staff member always tried to address us by our first names and took care of your feelings. The manager helped me with a free lift to the airport and monument. The housekeeping crew did the best and took care that our rooms had a good temperature by the heat. It was the best stay so far in my whole year in Canada.

A shame about our bed bug experience, because every part of the hostel was otherwise excellent. Nice staff, fantastic location, good value. Given that the bed bugs didn’t get us immediately I’d wager it was just bad luck with a previous or neighboring guest

Location is just a 20 minute walk from Union Station Bus Terminal. The walk is through skyscraper neighborhood, I felt safe walking there around dawn. The hostel itself is across the street from a park where it looks like there is a homeless encampment? There were a few tents there in April 2024. Its existence never made me worry about my safety. Dormed beds are fine. Nice privacy curtains.

Price is very good - significantly cheaper than other hotels in the area. I'll also note a bunch of reviews mentioned scams, which was not my experience: they put a $200 deposit on my card, but it was refunded within a day of checking out. Given that it's a very cheap hostel, they charge for things nicer places would not (e.g., leaving towels in the shared bathroom), but I was very careful to leave the room in exactly the state I got it, and got my full deposit back.

The hostel is good value for money. Possibly one of the cheapest accommodations in downtown Toronto, it is a fair choice if you just need a place to sleep at night. I was in the city for a work and just needed a clean and safe place to rest for the night before an early meeting the next day. This served the purpose. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom, good location close to public transport options.

This hostel is safe, quiet, and the beds were comfy and clean! It's really nice to stay in a small town like Maynooth and access hiking in the area at a very affordable price.
