The 4 Best Hostels in Toronto (Updated 2025)

"A laid-back, classic backpacker hostel, I found The Only Backpacker’s Inn to be bright, colorful and social, with a DIY feel. It has a bar with over 200 beers, a café, lots of common areas including an outdoor patio, and free breakfast; the staff are super friendly and it’s conveniently located near the subway. The dorms are small but the mattresses are thick and comfortable, making it a good choice for solo travelers who want to meet people." - Matthew Kepnes
