The 4 Best Hostels in Toronto (Updated 2025)

"Located in Kensington Market, I found Planet Traveler to be a fantastic hostel that really understands what travelers need: all rooms (including dorms) are ensuite, there’s a fully equipped kitchen with free breakfast until 1pm (which is actually pretty decent), and each guest gets two private lockers. The rooftop terrace offers incredible views over downtown Toronto, the staff are super friendly and run regular weekly events like trivia nights and pub crawls, the beds are super comfy (with some pod-style beds for extra privacy), and the overall vibe is fun and social — great for meeting people." - Matthew Kepnes
