The Planet Traveler Hostel, Toronto

Posted by Sissi 5 June 2008

A great, cheap place to stay right in the centre of Toronto. This budget hostel has a fantastic community feel and is a fun, lively place to meet other travelers. As a girl visiting Canada on my own, I felt right at home here – especially on Saturday nights where the free barbecue attracts a large proportion of the guests for a beer and a burger!

It’s located in Kensington market, about five minutes from the entertainment and shopping districts – and there’s no curfew so you can stay out exploring as late as you please.

This is a friendly place but its real selling point is the combination of the low price of a bed of the night set against their great facilities…
