Do not stay here - the whole place is symptomatic with decay.The facilities are out of date and well well worn. I do not know how the staff cope. They are friendly and kind but I think this is out of embarrassment more than anything else. Go somewhere else - you know it makes sense!

We had the large 2 bed/2 bath apartment on the top floor. This place has a nice location, but come on! So not worth it. It is disgusting, disgusting, disgusting! The carpet is worn through in large patches to the bare floor beneath, everything is dated form the 60's and doesn't seem to have been cleaned since then. Front desk... More

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
