“Queen Nest offers an affordable base in a prime Toronto location, especially appealing for budget-conscious travellers. I noticed the rooms, though simple, include convenient amenities like mini-fridges and coffee makers. While the automated check-in and location near Queen Street are definite advantages, be aware that parking can be challenging.”
