I had a mixed experience at the hostel. On one hand, the space was incredibly modern and my room was well-equipped with cozy beds and privacy curtains. On the downside, I encountered a serious issue with my booking at another place, which left me in a dirty room for a night. Overall, it's a decent place if you get the right room and don't mind a bit of urban atmosphere.

My room in the hostel was modern with comfy beds and plenty of amenities like personal lights and sockets. However, my other experience at a different hotel was quite disappointing due to cleanliness issues.

Service

The hostel staff were helpful and allowed me to store my luggage before checking in, which was really a lifesaver. Unfortunately, my experience at the other hotel had poor service due to mishandled bookings.

Location

The hostel is very centrally located with lots of life around, making it easy to explore the area. However, the nearby park with homeless individuals might be a concern for some.

My stay at the hotel was definitely a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, making it easy to grab food and drinks, and there were some really great amenities like complimentary breakfast and a strong Wi-Fi connection. However, the room conditions left much to be desired, with some serious temperature issues and lack of basic privacy. Overall, at 60 bucks a night, I can't complain too much, but better upkeep would elevate the experience.

Rooms

The room was clean but extremely hot, without proper temperature control. It could use some updates, and the lack of privacy curtains was off-putting.

I had a wonderful experience at The Clarence Park. The location is truly unbeatable, just a short walk from the Union train station and with a view of the CN Tower from my room. The staff made my stay enjoyable with their helpfulness, but there were times when it felt a bit noisy, which is somewhat expected in a hostel environment. Overall, it was a great value for money, and I would definitely return.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was fantastic, with easy access to public transport and nearby grocery stores.

While the dorms were spacious and clean, I felt the service could definitely improve.
