Queen Nest Hotel & Hostel
Hotel rooms or hostel beds near Queen West
About this hotel
Queen Nest Hotel & Hostel sits a minute's walk from Queen Street West at Palmerston Avenue, giving a family the choice between a private hotel room and a lower-cost hostel-style bed depending on the size of the group and the budget for the trip. It is roughly nine minutes by taxi from the CN Tower, and close to The Mission Eatery for an easy dinner without venturing far from the property. The flexibility between hotel and hostel formats makes it a practical pick for a larger family group or one travelling with older kids who can manage a shared space for part of the stay. Downtown Toronto's streetcar network keeps the rest of the city, and Ontario Place itself, within easy daily reach from this address.

Our take
This suits a family or group willing to mix room types, using the hotel side for parents and younger kids and the hostel side for older teens travelling in the same party, to keep the overall cost of an Ontario Place trip down. It rewards a family that has already decided the water park, not the hotel, is the main event of the trip.
- ✓Book the hotel-room option for young families and the hostel side only for older teens in the same group.
- ✓Reserve early if travelling as a larger group, since mixed hotel-hostel inventory is limited.
- ✓Try The Mission Eatery nearby for a low-effort dinner on a tired evening.

Why guests love itTravelling as a larger family group, we split our stay between a hotel room for the younger kids and a hostel bed for a teenager at Queen Nest Hotel & Hostel. It kept the whole trip within budget while everyone still had a short walk to Queen Street West for dinner. It was not the most memorable part of the trip, but it did not need to be, given how much time went into Therme Toronto instead.
