Kaisar Guest House

Very friendly staff. My room was clean when I arrived. They were honest people, they told me weeks ahead that my room has no windows, which is fine with me because I'm not claustrophobic. They also told me weeks ahead that paying credit card will have additional percentage charges compared to paying cash in local currency. I was prepared with those advance information they e-mailed me. I stayed in room no.1, which has a private toilet and bath, which was clean. Centralized AC in that specific room. Personally, I would describe this more of a hostel rather than a hotel. And I didn't expect a 5 star hotel, and they never claim to be. Just outside is the bus (or streetcar) stop. Very accessible by public transportation. I'm happy. Thank you

We were down for Toronto Pride. The Kaisar Guest House is a very affordable place in a great central area. At this price it ain't the Ritz, but it is clean and quiet, and everything works. Spartan is the word. I would go back. The neighbourhood is one of Toronto's 'unique' ones, and is much, much safer than first impression.

I only stayed for a night for an emergency matter. My room was close to the washroom, I can hear everything even the people next room whispering, lol. Yet everyone was so considerate and quite. I was surprised. Kasami was lovely and was there to greet me and when I left.

Because of the area parking was very difficult. I paid for parking behind the guest house, but someone parked in the area behind me and it was such close quarters I feared I was going to scrape my car on the side of the building trying to get out so the following night I parked on the street even though I wasn't supposed to. It's nice to have a kitchen, although the appliances are old.

o Immaculately clean and odour-free. o WiFi Internet access available in the room most of the time. o There was no window in my room, which appeared to be a converted storage space. This was not mentioned in the description of the room. o "shower/tub combination" in the description is inaccurate; it is a shower only. o "air conditioning": the room seemed to be adequately ventilated but there was no thermostat or A/C control. o In the event of fire, exiting the building could be difficult. The route to the only exit is long, narrow and takes several turns. I did not see lighted exit signs.
