“ I only stayed one night so I didn't really meet anyone. But the place was clean and quiet enough at night. The only thing to consider is that during the winter months they don't do check in until 8am, I arrived at 6am and had to wait at the bus station until 8. ”

“ During Winter, this hostel is mainly home to people who are staying their perminately, not travellers. While they are still nice people and I had a good time, we didn't go out much and it didn't have that fun crazyness that you usally find in hostels. While I recomend it as a good hostel, It is a... ”

“ The lady working the front desk was really helpful. I guess the location was good as well, but that doesn't make up for the wretched night sleep I "enjoyed." There are a lot of long term stays and most of them appear to be friends. The one night I was there a large number of them... more ”

“ Hostelworld messed up our reservation, but the hostel itself was really good at making arrangements to fix it. Despite some of the members of our party being a bit on the ill side, Backpackers on Dundas were great at accommodating them. Good fun people, great location. I'd recommend it. ”

“ A great little hostel. Central and easy to find and access the city. A nice mix of short and long term backpackers makes it feel like you're visiting your mates rather than just renting a bed. Backpackers on Dundas is a happy place to be! ”

“ Very dirty hostel. They didn't vacuum our whole stay and the bathrooms are gross! They also have a lot of long term stays which makes it was very uncomfortable to use the common areas and created a not very welcoming atmosphere. ”
