I stayed in room 9 and woke up at 4:30 am with many bedbug bites. I went to reception and got moved to room 10, which has no bed bugs.
In the morning the guy at reception said that only the manager can give refunds and he will be back on Monday. I came back on Monday and the girl at reception was rude and sarcastic and said I should email the email address they give on the website and sit in the lobby all day until someone answers.
NON BED BUG INFORMATION
The
whole place is dirty and unsanitary. One of the rooms hadn't been cleaned. The bed had been slept in and there was food there. There are dirty bits of cloth and mattresses, derelict washing machines etc. strewn around the lower corridors.
They have loud, intimidating 'ghetto' people staying there. There are drug dealers, panhandlers and half-way houses around outside.
Hostelworld said that the room is $50 but they charged $60.
This place is a s***hole and the staff are rude and/or liars. I've complained to the Toronto city government about it.
DO NOT STAY HERE

Sept 17 2011. Pulled back the blankets to get into bed and bed bugs were crawling in plain view. The person at the front desk could not have cared less. We left immediately. I would recommend that you DO NOT stay at the Downtowner Inn at 117 Pembroke St, Toronto. This really is a nasty, dirty place to stay.

I stayed here for 10 days in July 2011. I didn't notice the bed bugs at first. I wish I had known about this site since it looks like they've had this problem since 2008.
They will move you to another room if you ask but it didn't help. The bed bugs are everywhere.

Bed bugs are a common problem in this hostel. I recommend sleeping on the top bunk and spraying around the edge of your mattress with insect repellent every night. Also, don't tuck your sheets in if you can avoid it - don't create places that the bedbugs can hide. I also have all of my clothes tied up in plastic bags to avoid the bugs from moving into my luggage.
I've been in this hostel for 5 weeks now and I haven't been bitten since I've been taking these precautions. There is another w
oman in my room who won't listen to my advice and she gets bitten every night. Bedbugs are spreading everywhere now. Just take precaution and you'll be fine.

Details: The entire hotel was disgustingly unclean. Following a room change, we discovered bed bugs crawling on us at approximately 12:30 a.m.. We alerted the front desk clerk, who did not appear to be surprised. He simply marked the room on a sheet of paper already containing multiple markings. We decided to check-out. Although we were promised a refund, no refund was ever received. It appears that bed bugs are simply part of the char
m of this establishment! Beware!!!
