We found the Clearlake to be a good budget hotel. Its true that it is shabby but we found it to be fairly clean and you couldn't ask for a better location. We have been to London many times and we had always stayed on the other side of Hyde Park so we were pleasantly surprised by the easy access... more

My 21 yr old daughter and I stayed here June, 2008. Thanks to the reviews on this site, we expected what we got: budget accommodations with a separate kitchen and bath, horrible decor and old carpets/wall paper, and only somewhat clean. The linens were clean but frayed, the bathroom was fairly clean, but because it was warm and there is... more

We did not actually stay at the Clearlake because in a three week period, our quoted rate for the same room went from 85 pounds per night to 90 and then topped off at 92 and some change. This after we'd sent one CC number, which they then said they couldn't accept (it was Discover). When we emailed back with... more

Although these apartments are not as up to date as some hotels I really couldn't find a problem with them. I've stayed several times, every time coming away happy. The rooms are clean. The wallpaper and carpets may be shabby but that doesn't bother me because I don't go on holiday to stare at wallpaper and carpets! It is EXACTLY... more

Clearlake hotel staff was very helpful. We knew from other reviews to not expect the best room. We had also booked one of the cheaper studio rooms (#5), but we were given the chance to inspect the room before paying so we knew what we were getting into. Yep, it had old torn wallpaper and old carpet, but the room... more

There should be a law against hotels like this one. Maybe my standards are high, but there's no excuse for this place; old ripped wallpaper and dirty torn carpet. It was shelter and there is lots of space. The location is not bad, but not great either. The pictures on the website are misleading. more

We stayed at the Clearlake Hotel for a week in early August. Based on previous reviews and pictures on the hotel's website, I wasn't expecting much more than basic accommodation and a good location. We stayed in unit 15, two bedrooms (comfortable beds), two bathrooms, small kitchen and a large living room. Great view of Kensington Park. The carpeting and... more

Unfortunately, this is a case of it looks better on the website. Staff were very friendly and accomodating, but the quality of the room (studio efficiency) was just very bad - dirty, worn carpet, chipping paint, stained wallpaper - unit was just in need of major renovation. It was uncomfortable to stay in and was not particularly clean. Area is... more

Location and friendly, helpful staff are Clearlake's best features. Building is old and apparently high maintenance. We book a studio for four days in March '04. When we arrived, we were told the studio wasn't available because of a maintenance problem. So they bumped us up to a two-bedroom apartment for the same price. Zowie. more
