Toronto Hostels

Vibrant and cosmopolitan, yet also one of the friendliest cities in the world, Toronto is unlike most other large metropolises. What’s more, with its many independent shops and thriving café culture, as a backpacking destination, it’s hard to beat.

Budget Accommodation in Toronto

There are plenty of cheap hostels in Canada and the city of Toronto is no exception, with a range of budget accommodation catering to the large numbers of travelers who visit every year.

From Little Italy and Chinatown to fashionable Yorkville and lively downtown, Toronto has many diverse and interesting neighborhoods. Which makes it all the more important to check the location of each cheap stay on the Toronto hostels map in order to find the best budget accommodation for your stay in the city.
