Fodor's Review:

You can crash at the modern student residence at the University of Toronto between early May and mid-August. Rates vary with length of stay (daily, weekly, and monthly), by the month (May through July are higher than August), and by type of room. Single and double junior suites have shared bathrooms, and single and double senior suites have private bathrooms. Rooms are spartan, but linens, towels, and housekeeping services are provided. Breakfast is included; cafeteria-style lunch and dinner cost C$8.00 and C$14.80 respectively. Massey is a stone's throw from the Royal Ontario Museum and other major attractions. Pros: vegetarian fare available, room fans upon request, Common Room has daily newspapers. Cons: no frills, no Internet access, no fitness facility access.

I used to stay at Ryerson U during the summer months. Its a dump compared to Massey College. This is a little more $$$ than Ryerson, but its worth every penny. If you can afford it,stay here. things you should know are:- When you arrive at the college,you will be met at the gate by LIZ the porter. She will assist you in every way possible during your stay. She will relieve you of $40 CASH. This is a key deposit. This is a gated community and she will give you 2 keys, one for your room and the other for the gate. You will then go over to the office and meet Ester, all the paperwork for the registration had already been completed, and all Ester had to do was swipe my card and I was all set, I was allowed to check into my room in the morning (at Ryerson its 4:00pm). The room was sparse but very clean. Massey is a very quiet and serene college and there was no noise. Ester told me the Dining room was "world Famous". Breakfast is included in the price and it truly is excellent, with all kinds of cereals, juices, fruits, main course, coffee. (be warned the dining room is closed over the weekends). In the Common Room on the ground floor you can get coffee during the day. Morning papers are supplied in the Common Room, Its a nice place to sit and relax. There is also computers for your use downstairs in the library. anyways enough said, its a wonderful place to stay and I will stay there again.
