A historic building central to main attractions and public transport. There is a bus and metro virtually outside the front door. A very low key hotel if you want a change from the shiny corporate hotels. Stayed in the Hemingway Suite which is very old fashioned and comfortable. A great coffee shop is located a 5 minute walk away as... More

It's difficult to find a nice place to stay in this part of Toronto, or indeed nice places at reasonable cost anywhere in the City. Our family rented six rooms/suites for two nights for a wedding and everyone was satisfied with their accommodation. A bonus was the in-out parking for $17/day, free Internet, old-fashioned elevator, and a continental buffet breakfast... More

After a last minute change of plans we ended up at this place. Place is relatively inexpensive and it showed. Carpets are a bit worn, paint is peeling is some parts, mattress could have been replaced a while agon etc. However the place is clean and safe. A basic continental breakfast is served and all the basic toiletries are available.

This hotel is NOT in the heart of downtown Toronto, but is 1/2 block from a subway stop. It is easy to get to central downtown via 2 subway trains, easy transfer involved. When initially booking the desk staff was not very helpful with providing details of reaching the hotel via public transportation. We figured it out,but a hotel should... More

The Clarion is a charming place to stay. It is a renovated historic house where Ernest Hemingway had been a guest and it has retained some lovely architectural details. And to our surprise and delight, the bathrooms have been modernized with lovely grey stone showers and beautiful plumbing. The beds,too, are new and are most comfortable. The personnel have all...

A stay at the Clarion. Fragile as a wish on a breeze. Whisper it, and it is gone. For the three of us, five days passed like a lifetime. Decadent. Sensorious. Sublime. The Continental Breakfast has a humble splendour, the perfect ballast after a night slept so well. In sheets so soft and crisp. A kiss on a dewy morning.... More

This small hotel lies just across Sherbourne Station in a more or less quite street. Breakfast is ok and there are new rooms which are great, old one are ok. I will come again! The stuff is all very kind and always willing to help!

The hotel is located near Bloor & Yonge. We were able to walk to the Royal Ontario Museum. There is a subway stop near the hotel. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the breakfast was adequate.

I have to be in Toronto for conferences at least 3 times a year. This place has character and the service is wonderful. Breakfast is minimal, but at least it is provided! The subway is really close, too. My room really wasn't much smaller than ones I pay for at double the price right downtown! The neighbourhood can be a... More
