Like other reviewers I found the location of the Clarendon very handy for the Tube, a short walk to central London areas and amazingly peaceful. Stayed 4 nights recently, part work and part leisure, and the staff were very helpful by extending my stay in the more expensive 'executive' room which had been booked for my work trip, but at...

The Clarendon is part of a chain of hotels in the same street, situated within lovely Georgian houses. The staff go backwards and forwards between hotels. The location is truly great especially if you are a visitor to London; there are a lot of major sites, theatres, museums and restaurants within walking distance. There is also the lovely Bloomsbury Square... More

I love the location, somewhat oldfashioned and traditional, but at the same time very practical both for business, entertainment, public transport, shopping, actually anything. The staff is worldclass, they make your comfort their very personal business, and go out of their way to please you and make you feel good. Normal rooms a bit small, but clean and comfortable. Deluxe... More

This hotel should be great. Bloomsbury is a fantastic location, close to the British Museum and a short stroll into the heart of Soho. The rooms are large and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, it doesn't live up to its four star billing. The shower gave out a trickle of lukewarm water, which turned cold after... More

Booked this hotel on www.lastminute.com's Top Secret option and was very happy with the outcome. I had stayed some time ago at the Grange's White Hall Hotel on Montague St. and found it to be a fairly good hotel as well. The location can't be beaten if the West End and Theatreland are the areas you wish to be close... More

Stayed for 3 nights. Location is fantastic only a few mins walk from Covent Garden and theatreland and Oxford St and Regent St. Hotel was great value and the included conti breakfast was lovely. The room was small but clean and functional. The road outside was noisy at night with the window fully open to combat the blistering heat. Building... More

I was booked in to this hotel by my employers for an overnight stay in London. The location is fantastic - literally just around the corner from the British Museum, and very near loads of great places to eat and drink. The room was small but clean, and warm - important on such a cold night! The bathroom was also... More

For some reason, maybe due to a few negative reviews on this site, I had mixed feelings about going to stay at The Clarendon Hotel, but I was proved wrong. The staff were helpful when I arrived, although it took a while to check in because there were a few people milling around. I had booked a double room but... More

The hotel stay was a wonderful experience from the start. We loved everything about it. The check in process was fast and easy. They even gave us our room early because the room became available and allowed us to go feed and change the baby. The room was quiet, location was excellent, and room and bathroom was large and clean.... More

I was so disappointed with my short stay at this hotel. I had to change my first room which was a double due to lack of a chest of drawers and an inadequate single space wardrobe. The cleaners also ingored my 'do not disturb notice' and knocked a second time on my door. The next room was bigger but I... More
