The Clarence Park
Located just 2 blocks west of the posh Ritz Carlton Hotel , and 2 blocks east of the ultra-chic Thompson Hotel, we overlook a beautifully restored park in prime downtown Toronto. Whether your thing is shopping, entertainment, food, or sightseeing, find the best the city has to offer within a few minutes of our front door.
The Clarence Park is situated on a quiet side street overlooking a lovely urban park, and is surrounded by tons of restaurants, shops, tourist sites and 5-star hotels. Our neighborhood - King West - is where locals come to shop, dine and have fun. The facilities are clean and modern, with a cozy guest lounge that's the perfect place to read a book or mingle with other guests. And if you're a chef at heart, we have a fully appointed kitchen available to you. Our super-friendly staff looks forward to welcoming you to this great city!

La ubicación es buenísima. El trabajo es pesado pero la flexibilidad de los coordinadores en cuanto a días y horarios libres, además de la buena disposición con la que todxs ellxs responden tus dudas, lo hacen muy llevadero. Estuve dos meses.
Fue una oportunidad para enriquecer mi consciencia social y conocer la ciudad desde el centro.

It was an experience where I learned a lot, both in the hospitality field and on a personal level.
It’s important to note that it’s a lot of work, and if you don’t complete the 21 hours, you have to pay the hostel. The good thing is that it’s located in a central area, making it easy to get around and explore.
Thank you, The Clarence, for the accommodation and facilities."

Toronto is a costly city. We provided a safe place to sleep, light, hot water, heating, cereals, milk, and fruits 24 /7. Maybe now that you must pay for all that, you will think that 4 hours of work wasn't a "lot of work" in exchange for all we provided... Good luck

I had an amazing experience at Clarence Park Hostel! It was incredible meeting people from all over the world and exchanging stories and cultures. The atmosphere was so welcoming, and the staff made sure everything was comfortable. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking to make new connections while traveling!

Other than the unorganized start my stay was perfect. The location of the hostel is great, with almost everything being in a walkable distance and a beautiful view of the cn tower. There are lots of cool and interesting people to meet and talk to. Work was what I expected hostel work to be and is easily doable.
