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

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!

Too hot to handle

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
