Kaisar's Guest House

Stayed here for a budget friendly option. Pros: It's a central area, lots of restaurants, bars and easy access to public transit. My room was clean and the locks and cameras getting into the Kaisar Guest House were reassuring. Cons: I felt a little uneasy walking down the street alone and I didn't want to experience it at night so I went back to my room before the sun went down. If you want to pay for your room by credit card there's a 5% processing fee. They don't have any parking options and the lots nearby are expensive. When you check-in they say quiet time is after 10pm or 11pm I can't remember but I definitely heard lots of noise throughout the night through the paper thin walls. I'm pretty sure I was woken up by someone coming or going every 2-3 hours, so if you're a light sleeper I'd look elsewhere. I booked the 1-person room with a private bathroom and they gave me room #10. It's the first door everyone passes to go to any of the other rooms and it's also across the kitchen so I heard everything. People walking to their upstairs rooms, people talking in the kitchen. I thought paying less would give me peace of mind but I won't be going this cheap again. I'd rather spend a bit more for better parking, noise, and comfort walking around.

Clean and affordable. Parking available for extra cost. Room 10 horrible experience too much noise around barely any sleep until 2am and had to complain. Safe affordable but don't take room 10. I had to force my self to wake up early and leave because of no sleep. Good neighbors, it's a guest house, don't guest expect anything fancy. For the price, you should be able to sleep without issue. Beside that I have no other concern. Change the battery on the wall clock, a tv would be nice.

I've stayed at Kaiser's well over two dozen times over the years and I almost resisted posting a review because I consider it a hidden gem. This place is clean, well staffed and a steal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kaiser's to my mom. My mom is obsessively clean. If you also want a affordable secret hideaway in the heart of Toronto, book now. If you are dissatisfied I'd be astounded.

Kaisar you are horrible. I gave you $1600 in total to stay here and i will never forget the cockroaches I seen on the kitchen walls and the one that flew at my face at night. You will not reply to this review because you know it's true. I am not ashamed to put my real name on this review. You should be ashamed! Selfish little man! And your communication is horrible! SHAME ON YOU!

I'm honestly genuinely surprised by the amazing value I got here. Kind of a sketchy front gate bars you from entry at first. But the actual Interior looks like a lovely converted large home. It's affordable. Near everything. And had a kitchen space to share. Rooms: The room was absolutely massive. Cannot stress how grand and welcoming it felt. Honestly I don't think any actual hotel room could compare. I'm. Absolutely going to be staying here again in Room 12

We came to Toronto for the weekend and this air bnb was in a very good location for us. We paid $130/ night + fees for this place so we thought it would be pretty decent but it was the complete opposite. First impression you have to talk into this intercom where I could barely hear the host I had to ask him to repeat what he was saying many times because I couldn’t understand anything. He then came to the door and walking through the hall gave very haunted house vibes. It also smelled really strange. When we were brought to the room the rug that was in the middle was still very dirty. The walls are full with scratches and random marks. Furniture was very old and scratched up. I held the towels up against the light and there was a lot of yellow stains on it. Overall was very grossed out about it. We were given 3 different keys. He told us that the guest house door locks after 9 and that we’ll have to use the key to get in. We came back to the air bnb very late and we spent about 10 minutes trying to open the door because it wouldn’t unlock. I tried calling the owner but it went straight to voicemail but understandable because it was very late at night. After nudging the key many times we finally got the door open. Once we got into the room the door to our room wouldn’t close and I had to use a lot of force just to close the door. This was overall very frustrating experience and coming back very tired wasn’t helping either. As for communication with the host he would not give any follow up messages. When we were having trouble with the key the one night I messaged him saying that our key wasn’t working there was no follow up message asking if we got it to work or anything. I’ve stayed at another Airbnbs in Toronto and had a way better experience. Unfortunately those places were either fully booked or unavailable. Definitely would not be staying here again. If you’re able to spend a little more money you could probably get a nicer Airbnb than this one.

The place has cockroaches. A cockroach flew at my face while I was laying in bed at night. It feels dirty, I would never stay here again. Horrible experience and the owner is very rude and selfish! Also overpricedRooms: 1/5

Simple and clean spot in a very good location. Met reasonable expectations of this price for the downtown area of Toronto. Staff friendly and during my stay the evenings/nights were quiet. However, I could see a potential problem if other guests are not courteous, since the walls between the rooms and the hallway are thin. Note that this would not be a good location for someone with mobility issues due to stairs. But overall a pleasant stay. I plan to stay here again when I travel to Toronto.

I stayed here for quite some time. I got the “creepy man” vibe from the owner Kaisar. He only has young girls that don’t speak English working in his office at all times. The place was really really warm, there was zero control over the temperature. There was a leak coming from my ceiling. It seemed like dirty toilet water. He seems to only respond to help with anything if it is good for him. Otherwise he will ignore any issues. He will surely respond to this with some sort of lie, but don’t take my word for it. Go check the place out. It’s cheap, there are mice and cockroaches. Good luck,

All in all one would think this is a sketchy place to stay due to location and the non-cookie cutter hotel/motel style. However if looking past that the staff are very pleasant the setting is quite unique as it is an old 100 year old home. It's very clean with a sense of Japanese style inside and the room was perfect....small but very clean. They have a full kitchen with appliances so you can bring your own food and cook your own meals. Very unique and a good deal in the heart of the city. We will return again in the future!
