8/10 Very good

I liked that they had coffee and a full kitchen we could make our own meals. Very clean and surprising very safe. Could use better pillows and could provide there guess with wash cloths not just a single towel.
Sally, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Structure appeared extremely old; super trippy decor; interesting and unique - very different from typical budget lodging such as a Motel 6. Almost a caricature of a hostel. Might not appeal to all. We stayed in the building next door (I think they called it the "balcony" room - no balcony. It was very small, quiet and we felt safe. Bus and trolley lines were very close. Overall vibe of the place was great.
Alena, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had an amazing time at India House! It really was a true hostel experience, getting to talk to many travellers of different walks of life. Easy streetcar access and the neighborhood was very safe.
