The experts weigh in...
 "In a great location just south of Chinatown, Global Village Backpackers...is a big brightly coloured place that travellers rave about and not just for the handy on-site bar...It's well run and the 24 hour reception staff are pros." - Lonely Planet Toronto City Guide
 "Global Village Backpackers is the best of Toronto's hostel options. Apart from the excellent location near sights like the CN Tower, theatres, restaurants and clubs, above standard facilities like a laundry room, kitchen and games room, make this the hostel of choice. The staff rates a special quality mention." - Rough Guide to Toronto
 "195 beds and an in-house bar make this former hotel a pure piece of backpacking real estate,An efficient, highly social backpacker support system, with staff that make you feel at home,Travelers convene at the cool bar and by the pool table inside and on the outdoor patio, where BBQs are held nightly." - Let's Go USA (and Canada)
 "My first couple of nights were booked at Global Village Backpackers, which is an absolutely central hostel,it is the best hostel in the city. There is a great atmosphere, and you're guaranteed to meet a friendly face." - Netsetters, Guardian Unlimited
 "Jack Nicholson slept here. Of course, it was a hotel then, not a hostel. Now it's a bright and friendly rest spot offering dormitories, quads and a few private rooms. The busy bar is a good place to meet fellow travellers, and the hostel organises many events, including memorable tours of Niagara Falls in their rainbow painted Magic Buses." - Time Out Magazine
