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 ) :)

Clean and nice hostel, very close to all the tourist places, very nice staff who explained me everything the hostel has in details. There’s also light breakfast served, which is always a good add-on.

The Clarence Hostel is well located and the size of the 4-bed dorm is impressive. The kitchen was super clean. Lot of rooms in the fridge. The room was clean. The only downside, the person at the front desk was so unpleasant. Some people shouldn't work in customer service.

The 14 bed female dorm was fantastic. I really appreciated that they had their own showers and toilets. The only thing is that there were limited outlets.

10/10 Exceptional

The private room was amazing, great stay! The staff were.a little stranger, whoever the guy was working the front desk on saturday evening was incredibly rude and unfriendly. If the rest of our experience hadnt been so positive, he would have made us make the decision to leave. Backwards hat on at the desk, seemed bothered to have to get up or answer a question, very rude, and was a bit uncomfortable that he has access to all rooms. Id like to NOT focus on that, as the property was fantastic besides that one person!

Clarence Park - Hostel, yay or nay?

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.

Internet wasn’t working properly. It worked for 2 mins and we need to reconnect it. If you want work on your laptop. Please don’t stay here
Richa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

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.
