A great find in central Toronto. The location couldn’t be better, close to Kensington market and surrounded by great restaurants. Super nice check in staff and our room was very spacious and sparkling clean. Oh and a fab selection of books too!

I rated this Guesthouse 4 stars, not in comparison to name brand "Four Star Hotels", but when comparing the price to what was received.
I wasn't sure what to expect after reading some reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The room was as large as a typical hotel/motel room. The high ceilings and two windows made it feel more spacious. The bed was comfortable. There were other guests at the time but I didn't hear any of them. The service from staff was excellent and it's in a prime location.
I will definitely be staying here again

Worst experience ever, stay away from these crooked business, they will steal your money and run away, small shop with no mercy for customer.

I usually stay in more formal and fancy hotels, but booked my flight to Toronto without first checking lodging prices. Because of pride weekend, hotel prices were through the roof. So I looked around for more affordable options and found Kaisar Guest House. I read some reviews, and wasn't sure at first, but decided to give it a go.
Upon arrival there was a long line of people waiting for food from a food bank on the same block, and a homeless tent encampment across the street. This made me a little uneasy at first, but people have got to eat! No one in the line or in the encampment across the street said anything to me my whole visit. Everyone was just going about their day.
Check in was easy. You take your shoes off upon entering and put them in a basket with your room number on it. And the girl working the front desk was very nice, although her English was limited. I arrived before 10am, so my room understandably was not ready. So I dropped off my bags and went about exploring Toronto.
Upon return later in the day I was given the key to room 1 and my bags. Room 1 was fine. Seemed clean, which was my #1 concern. The room did not have a window, which was a bit weird, but it worked out great for my budget travel adventure.
The shower and bathroom were small, but clean. Nothing fancy but did the job. The communcal kitchen was nice enough. Again, not fancy but had what it needed to have. I didn't use the laundry facilities, but they were there and looked completely fine.
On the last day I checked out without any issues, but then found out my flight got cancelled. I asked if they had a room for the night, and was checked back into room 1 where I stayed previously.
Overall my stay was enjoyable. This is clearly a no frills property, but it is clean, the staff is nice, and the location is great. Generally speaking I like to stay in places that are a bit more refined, but I really didn't have any issues while staying at Kaisar. The issues raised in some other people's reviews seem unfounded. Great bang for the buck!

I stayed here for three days and it went very smoothly. The room was nice and the location was ideal for me.

(Room 1)
Pros: Close to downtown with a security gate, clean enough, good price.
Cons: Thin walls and near to clubs/bars which pump music late. No windows, so the room got a bit stuffy. Hot water took quite a bit to warm up in the shower. Shoe bin in the entry hallway is quite a ways from some of the rooms, so you’ll be walking around in socks/complementary slippers. Across the street from a homeless camp.
If you’re only planning on using this as a place to sleep, and you’re not a light sleeper its a good value option. Just keep your expectations low, its a bargain for a reason.

Thanks with the strict smoking policy I'm glad my room doesn't smell like Kensington market. If you are a smoker then this isn't the place for you.

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.

The bathroom looks a bit small.
The heater didn't work, so I slept in a jacket.

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.
