Global Village Backpackers - Toronto
Hey guys,
Ironic since I am from Toronto...but I stayed at Global Village backpacker in Toronto last Friday night. And it was a great hostel, and a card security system - best I have ever seen at a hostel.
Friendly staff and great location: its right in smack middle of everything to see and do: King and Spadina.
To the north is Chinatown and Kensington Market.
To the west is Queen Street which is the indy artsy district.
To the east is clubbing/entertainment district.
To the south is skydome, CN tower (which my buddy from Seattle refered to as a 'giant space needle' - needless to say, I was offended)
It's a 20 min walk to the Train station
10 min walk to the subway (st. andrew)
5 min ride via street car to Spadina station
I recommend!
