An Amazing Place to Stay
The Clarence Park is an amazing place to stay in Toronto. It is a "little community" that one can interact with friendly people from all backgrounds. I talked to many of them who make me love Toronto more. For instance, Caesar is very considerate and helpful; Milo cut my lock for me when I lost the key, and he never complained when his fingers got hurt. It is a "home from home" experience that a traveler should not miss.

I like the hotel and location. But apparently they don’t mind wasting money because my room was extremely hot and uncomfortable for the winter

The people there were nice, the staff was nice. It was a little hot in there but there were fans which helped. Good privacy curtains. It wasn’t far from Scotiabank Arena which is why I booked the hostel. I would stay here again.

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.

It is a very nice 3-storey old building, like "heritage". Stairs are quite steep, though. Those, who have big baggages, may also take this into consideration, on top of price. I lived on 2nd floor; it was 4-bed room.

Pleasantly Surprised
The hostal is in a great location, and near public transportation and markets. The room was clean and comfortable with privacy curtains, which is a plus. Checking in was smooth!! A big thank you to Anita and Lotte for all the information and their friendly welcome. They also had a laundry room downstairs...Hi Steve. I would definitely stay here again.

Good location, very uncomfortable and poor service
The man on the reception is very rude. Barely spoke to you just points at signs and things. E.g which way to my room, points at the stairs no words.
The beds are very old and damaged, I was in the top bunk and there were wooden slats missing meaning in certain parts of the bed it just caved in, so pressure was put on you where the slats were there. Basically got no sleep it was so uncomfortable

A great place. Good location. Would recommend.
Steven and Kendra were awesome. There's a nice decanter of iced tea always available in the lobby. A huge kitchen with tons of storage space and full facilities. Nice tv room. I really enjoyed my stay. I look forward to going back again.

On arrival the front desk guy (Sergie) was super friendly with info etc. We were upgraded to the Signal Suite which was really nice. He also called the room after we had settled in to check everything was OK.
During our first night the smoke detector batteries were running low and we were woken to loud beeps every 30 seconds. A call to reception was quickly answered with the maintenence man on the phone to disconnect it so we could get back to sleep. The unit was replaced the next day.
