The location is close from Union station. However, interaction from staff can be improved as they’re not willing to assist nicely. Some of them are really rude and some of them are alright. As it was my first time in a hostel I politely asked how do I open the door when I come back am I allowed to ring, pls let me know? This old man lectured me on how they’re not doormans. Tbh I didn’t even mean that in any sense. I was just asking how can I open by myself? so clearly he was extremely impolite and other few staffs are not helpful as well. I asked “hey I was tryna use the water filter in the kitchen” he looked me pretty dead and goes “yeah it’s broken and we just never fixed it” I mean I get it’s a hostel and 50 bucks for a night is damn good but just a little bit of politeness and patience goes a long especially when they have rules painted all over their hostel. I’m just writing my experience so I’d suggest to look into another hostel especially if it’s your first time in the city. These guys are really not that courteous. The property is alright if you’re anywhere more than 5’5. The bunk bed might not be for you. One good factor after all this is they atleast have decent blankets and the breakfast is also sorta alrigh it’s just bread, ready made oats, peanut butter and yeah some corn flakes. Just saying if you can, look elsewhere! There are few more hostels and I’d love to give em a try next time in the city. Cheers!

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 really liked the place, unfortunately when we arrived our bathroom wasnt cleaned and restocked. The bed was made and room clean, but looked as jf the bathroom was completely forgotten about. There was hair in the sink and shower. Dirty towels on the window sill and back of the door. Our bathroom never did get cleaned, and we had to pick up the clean towels from the front desk. I hope this was just a coincidence.

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
