Rough Guide "When it was completed in 1927, the Royal York was the largest hotel in the British Empire and it still retains much of its original grandeur, especially in the sprawling lobby."

DK Eyewitness "Offering mainly shared rooms in dorms, although there are a few private rooms with private bath, a stay here is one of the cheapest in the city."
Rough Guide "The surrounding neighbourhood may have resisted gentrification, but the hostel is clean, well-run and a 5 min walk from the subway."
Frommer's "Wonderfully social hostel, with a friendly staff... this is not only a good pick for budgeteers, but also for solo travelers." Full review

Every once in a while the staff has free tickets to hockey games and TV tapings, so be sure to ask.
