Any reasonable hostel in Toronto?

Well, Toronto does not value backpacker dollars or the city would have reasonable accommodation for us. I was reading the comments about the ten or so hostels in Toronto: eight of them seem to come straight from a film noir with dark, shoddy rooms and nasty front desk staff.

Who would want to start a round-the-world trip in a place like that?

I am sure we will end up in a dark and smelly hostel room at least once during our trip. It is just too early for that :)

Beware those who think they can visit Toronto on a budget: options are few and far between.
