We visit Deal regularly and have stayed at different hotels, AirB&B’s etc and recently decided to try the Clarendon Hotel and to our delight we loved it, so much so we’ve booked it again for this month. We’ve now put it top of our list as our favourite for Deal. We contacted reception a couple of time with queries and they couldn’t have been more welcoming, friendly and professional - a very special mention to Orla who was just fantastic to us. The bedroom and bathroom were lovely and clean and the bed very comfy, it was great to have a fridge stocked with water. Check in and out was very easy and so convenient. Our thanks to all at the Clarendon and we are so looking forward to seeing you again soon. Joan & Nigel

Great location right opposite the pier, plenty of car parks nearby. Very helpful friendly reception staff. Room no15 was excellent, bed superbly comfortable, lots of thoughtful touches in the room including binoculars for distant sea views and welly boots in case of rain...lost of bottled water and milk in the fridge as well. Immaculately clean. I hope to return...

Great location with easy paid cheap parking. Be aware of self check in so check your emails and messages. A lot of stairs to my room but cannot fault at all, big room with a Sea view in a great little town that’s very clean with plenty of pubs. Highly recommend

We booked B&B but found out at the last minute they don’t do any food. Claimed paid for parking but we were the payers showed picture of bar on website there isn’t one. Jade the receptionist was lovely and very helpful the room was air conditioned and very clean. But everything- furniture, decorations looked very tired hallways and passages showing scuff marks aplenty. A good stay but I’d find it difficult to recommend

My son and his family live in Deal, so we have stayed at this hotel on several occasions in the past without any problems. It is pretty basic, but clean and conveniently located. However on this occasion, we were not aware that the hotel is now an unmanned hotel ( after 5pm ). We were having a meal in a hotel opposite yours when my partner came into The Clarendon to check in. On arrival there was no-one present ( approx 5.30-6pm ), so we left without being able to check in. I then checked my emails to see that I had been sent a code to get into the room, which we decided to use as a check in later that evening. At around 11pm we got a taxi from my sons house to the hotel and used the code to get into the hotel, we got into the hotel ok. However, we could not get into the room and tried several times. We then tried to call the out of hours number, to which it just went onto voicemail, to which we left an urgent message for the hotel to contact us. We then checked the hotel to see if anyone was around to help, which they wasn’t. Luckily we were able to get another taxi back to my sons house, but had to spend the night on his floor! We are understandably very upset and angry that we had to do this. If you are running a mainly unmanned hotel, you NEED to be available by phone in case there is a problem, which you wasn’t. I have had an issue with another, hotel with a code system I couldn’t get into the room with, but they answered the phone 24/7 so got in my room ok. If you are running an ummanned hotel, you need to be available by phone if there is a problem, which you wasn’t. I have since contacted you directly plus B.com and no refund still. I will now pursue this through my bank as a chargback services not supplied. I run my own business, so am fully aware of how a bad review can affect a business. Because of that, I will always deal with unsatisfied customer’s promptly, sadly you thought by ignoring me I would disappear. This incident totally unacceptable for a hotel to do, we could have been left out on the streets if we hadn’t been able to get a taxi that night back to my sons house to sleep on his floor! We will definitely never return to this hotel again, as there new set up is a joke with no accountability when a problem. …

I had three nights here. I had an attic room so lots of very narrow stairs, even a step into the bathroom. The room was big and quiet with a lovely bay seat and fantastic view with air conditioning. I wish the owner/manager would sleep in each room to know what is needed. There were cobwebs in the bedside lights, the bracket that holds the shower hose moves and is too low. There needs to be another higher. And the major issue I had was the dirty marks on the sloped roof above the bed where other guests heads had clearly been. I showed Orla in the office thinking she’d have someone up straight away to clean it but no. I hope it gets done before the next guest.

Wonderful stay in the Bernadette suite, greeted By Orla who was really helpful and friendly, great view of the pier and sea, the rooms are wheelchair accessible and to find something this luxurious is a rarity. Because you are right on the road there is some traffic and pedestrain noise but not enough to bother us, also some noise from footsteps above but again not sufficient to bother us. Great location on the seafront close to much of the town Parking is directly behind the hotel and chargeable, but we discovered that if you are a blue badge holder and register beforehand you can park at the nearby train station for free. We fell in love with Deal and cant wait to be back

What a lovely hotel on the sea front. Beautiful views of the pier. The staff are so helpful - they were happy for us to store our bike at the hotel, let us have a slightly later check out. Good quality and very nicely decorated. Thank you we will be back.

A hotel that overlooks Deal Seafront. Really comfortable bed with all the mod cons - kettle, plenty of tea/coffee/ milk and a good sized fridge. The air con was also a god send whilst we are enjoying such brilliant weather recently. The bathroom looked like it had been recently updated with a decent shower. A really good one night stay. Would recommend!
