"Global Village hostels in Canada; all three I went to were great - I had good times at all of them, especially Toronto. Toronto is definitely worth seeing and the Global Village Backpacker hostel is cool. Highly recommended." - Rockin Robin

Colorful, centrally based and with cheap prices... a cracking hostel in our opinion. It's got the social side of things covered with it's own bar, theme nights, organised trips and games area and it's close to the majority of stuff you'd want to see whilst you were in Toronto. With it's amazing arrival packages aimed at making your stay in this fab city even more enjoyable, this really is the place to be.

We are within easy walking distance of all the major Toronto attractions including the CN Tower, Skydome, the lakefront, and the entertainment district. What's more, Let's Go says we have "a state of the art backpacker support system", which apparently is a good thing, and means excellent facilities like a groovy bar, outdoor patio, kitchen, laundry, lockers, travel desk, internet terminals and a piano. Toronto's alternative weekly Now magazine went further, and said, "Guests are enraptured by the experience of staying there." We think that speaks for itself - look forward to you joining us.
