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

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.

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 bathrooms are in the rooms, so you’re not walking out of your room to get to the restroom

Clarence Park Hotel is classy, cosy and interestingly quiet despite its location. I loved waking up to the scene of snow covered park and free breakfast with many options while the main bus/streetcar stations are just a few meters away. Plus they store your luggage for the day for free. Perfect for airport travel!

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.
