The Clarence Park - Hostel

Tv and a single bed was good

Petit déjeuner très simple (rôties et céréales), pas de jus de fruits. Cuisine propre. Nuitée calme et sans problème.

Staff was sonhelpful

Comfortable beds and nice staff, the place is located at a nice place that makes it walkable to the main Toronto activities! Only downside is that it can be a little noisy at night, since is really near the Downtown. ( bring earplugs ) :)

We had never stayed in a hostel, but found this with a private double room with private bath near the train station and quite liked it. The breakfast in the communal do-it-yourself kitchen was simple but enough.

Bon prix au centre-ville!

Such a nice place! Located in a walkable distance to city centre and the train station, my room was really good. The bathroom was in-room, which makes it a lot less competive and cleaner. And my bed was AMAZING. One of the most comfortable I've had in hostels. It also had a curtain which helps a lot. My only 2 points are: the portable airconditioning is too loud and too cold if you are standing near it, however without it it gets pretty hot. Second is to fix the plugs near the beds - having extensions taped to the bed is not ideal. Little shelves near the beds would also help a lot :)

Downtown, amazing location. No elevator so luggage to the third floor in the heat was a challenge for me. Clean comfortable room.

Close to public transport and train station! Curtains around the bed and in suite bathroom.

It was relatively smooth. Being as it's a hostel, you deal with a lot of other people and their habits. It's in a great location, but they were very challenging to contact by email or phone.

We booked a premium private room the picture on Expedia didn’t match our room, I mentioned it but was told they were having so many issues with Expedia, it wasn’t a big issue as the room was ok but the stairs and building we were in didn’t get cleaned once in 5 days as we could see the same dirt on the stairs, the bed was comfy and it was nice that it had a plug in air freshener in the bathroom and the shower was good although the tiled floor was slippy, you had to be careful, I liked the staff here except for one girl in the morning, she wasn’t friendly at all and made me feel awkward in the morning, she didn’t move to let me get plates and she could see I was waiting, she was just moving things about and I didn’t like leaning over her, she was just miserable, the rest were lovely, not sure if she was volunteering or permanent staff but she needs to smile a bit more, both young lads on the desk were very nice and helpful. The only big issue was the kitchen is just too small for the amount of guests trying to eat breakfast in the morning, there’s a thin table with 10 seats and a couple of mornings we had to eat in reception as there was no room, at first when I asked if we could eat in reception I was told no, we were stood up next to the hob, after a few mins we were told we could and others followed, you need a bigger area to eat in and this would put me off staying there again as you are on top of each other, apart from that we had a great stay as the area is great

As this was my first time staying at the Clarence Park - Hostel, I had no idea what to expect. On a positive note, the room rate (for the mixed 6-person dorm) was very good and the downtown location was excellent. On a negative note, there is no elevator so be prepared to carry your suitcase up multiple flights of stairs. Storage lockers in the room were too small to fit my medium-size suitcase and the bunkbed wasn’t high enough off the floor to fit my suitcase under it. The bathroom needs to be divided into separate spaces for toilet/sink and shower so guests could have better access. Wait times for access were lengthy and limited. The comforters are not washed on a regular basis so they were filthy. The room was very cold and I had to ask for the heat to be turned up. By the time I checked out, my bunkmates and I were feeling sick and coughing. I attribute this to the cold room and filthy comforters. Despite this, I would stay again if I could get a private room.

Great and affordable place in downtown Toronto!

Super clean, comfortable and cozy. I would love to stay here again (albeit with earplugs as our room had monstrously loud snorer the entirety of my 4 night stay)

Lovely, clean and super welcoming and cheap! I'll definitely come back again!

Everything as advertised. Great price for downtown Toronto

This was a great place to spend a night. It would have been better if I have a reminder email or text as it took me a while to find my reservation because I booked this in February. Other than that it was great.

A great value if you only need a basic room to sleep in.

I would make shower different
