I stayed at the queens west hotel for three nights recently. I was not sure what to expect when i booked besides the price being very affordable . As soon as a checked in, the front desk was very accommodating and also explained in detail where i could dine in the area. I was very impressed at the cleanliness and safety of the queens west. Highly recommend this hotel.

Fantastic

Dodgy, dirty, unprofessional and rude staff. 
Go anywhere else in Toronto but not here; let this be your warning: I wish I had read the reviews before I came to this hotel and it would have saved me a big hassle.

DO NOT STAY HERE | DO NOT STAY HERE

No windows, shared bathroom, desperately in need of repairs and updates. air Co divining is a vent in the ceiling and centrally controlled. It is in the dinghies lowest end neighborhood of Toronto. So many homeless people and dirty streets. Did not feel safe and NO UBER/CAB drivers even know about this place. REMOVE THIS PLACE from any and all hotel booking sites!!!

Gross and scary.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights as we had no other choice as a last-minute option and had an awful experience the entire time, right from booking to check out.

The one other staff member we interacted with was absolutely wonderful and deserves way better than this place, however the manager is incredibly rude and inconsiderate both over the phone and in person and she doesn't seem to have any concept of basic respect for others.

The most expensive option, the "Queen" room for $50 more than the cheapest room offered, is the exact same as the other room options (double bed, 22-23 square feet) but the only difference between this room and the "budget" double room is you get a window and an ensuite bathroom instead of having to share the communal bathroom the other rooms have to use. The room looked fine at first but upon closer inspection was completely falling apart.

The bed itself is very thin and loud with pillows that feel like they're 20 years old and upon pulling back the bottom sheet and mattress pad to check for bedbugs, it was covered in disgusting red and brown stains and the mattress cover itself had massive holes in it, providing not even an attempt at protection against bedbugs. The uncovered outlet right next to the bed is a massive fire hazard, as well as a great space for pests to hide. The door handle may as well have just been there for show as it was barely attached to the door and made it a struggle to lock the door when exiting.

Do not be fooled by the prices and "budget" options, this place is not even worth being a last resort.

Sleeping in the park would be a better experience

worst experience ever at a hotel (if you can even call this a hotel). This place should be shut down. No door handles, stained sheets, what looks like mold in bathroom and overall unkept and very dirty!

Do not book here

It was the worst experience ever. This place is sketchy as heck!! It’s shouldn’t be allowed to call this a hotel! The lady who “helped” is was super rude and incredibly unfriendly. She hung up in the middle of a phone call. The information that is on the site is incorrect and than she makes you pay for stuff. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE! Even the neighborhood is very bad. This hotel should not be on business.

Sketchy as heck!!!

The West Queen West Hotel is a trade misdescription. This is not a hotel! 

It’s a hostel at best. The nasty rooms are so unhygienic, dated and depressing. No private bathroom in one room, lock on main door wasn’t secure. Window looked on to a dumpster where the junkies hang out and get wasted at night. 

Im genuinely appalled at the state of cleanliness and felt unsafe staying in the room or leaving my things in the room, when I went out. 

I had to get out of there. It’s like that Hotel Cecil! 

Dirty, smelly, rude staff, cramped, dated, unsafe, depressing, only thing going for it is the WiFi 

This place needs one thing….A wrecking Ball!

Nasty

3 people DIED during my stay at this hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE. FIND SOMEWHERE SAFE.
Scared, and scarred for my life. This is not a hotel, this is a hostel. You need to read this whole review.
Washrooms are shared with 3 other guests staying in the same corridor as you, however the rooms are "private."
A room with a private washroom will ring up to about $105 - may as well stay somewhere more luxurious after the $40 deposit. $145 down the drain.
Every couple weekends, there would be no-wifi, as if they're not ontop of the bills. One time for a period of 4 days we had no water in the room, and another time no power in the room for 3 days. Refunds were never given, however we did pay a discounted rate for the long term stay. They dont offer this anymore.
Myself and my partner unfortunately stayed here during their off-season when less tourists come around, from February, however we had extended all the way to June, because of toronto's crazy Rental Market.
Three deaths at the hotel, one each month. According to management, 2 overdoses and a suicide. Sure does make me feel safe. I wonder to this day if those were just cover-ups, especially as one night, after the hotels office hours, a man, 5'8, black and never seen before unlocked our hotel room in the middle of the night and somehow had a hold of the key, but we startled him, and he ran off.
From this day forward we barricaded the door with the bed, and dresser so the door absolutely could not open. This was the most terrifying experience I've ever lived. DO NOT STAY HERE. FIND SOMEWHERE SAFE.

Worst experience ever.

People were doing drugs with the needles on the stairs when I was returning from dinner. I have to walk around them, and I am not very good in this situation, so later on when I was trying to sleep, and somebody starts shaking with the door a freakout and left the hotel in middle of the night, my room was smelly and super hot, you can not open the window, and you don't want open the door, bathroom very simple and not very clean, the guy who was there the time I was checking was nice even though I can smell marijuana from him, don't know how this place can be approved as hotel

Please don't book this place no matter what.

It’s a waste of time and money booking with them. Hotel owners were rude themselves. Place overall is so disgusting that I was afraid of catching a disease. Not cleaned, black mold all over inside shower, no outlet covers, curtain rod falling out of wall. 
WHAT A JOKE OF A HOTEL !! And how are they even in business or operating for that matter!!! So many health and safety issues wrong with the place !! 
And then the owners trying to get away with not reimbursing my mother for not staying there. Couldn’t stay there because it was that disgusting !!!
