We've previously stayed in the Portland, sister hotel to the Clarendon on the same quiet road. The decor and comfort was equally good although our room was smaller than we had enjoyed at the Portland. Continental breakfast selection was more than adequate although an English breakfast option was expensive. As with the Portland the staff were very friendly and helpful.... More

We recently stayed at this hotel and we very happy with the service from the staff and the location. We were able to walk to Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square and down to the Thames. We would defiantly stay there again .

We had booked two double rooms here to treat my mother for her 60th birthday and arrived with our luggage in the morning and did all the admin before going off for the day, we were advised that check in was at 3pm. We returned at 5.15pm intending to get ready as we were going out for cocktails at Clairdges... More

Plenty of shops and restaurants in the next street (Southampton Row) and near a small park. Very pleasant surroundings. The hotel itself was small but adequate and breakfast was surprisingly good.

"Who you gonna call?" No one. Our room phone didn't work and no one would come to repair or replace it during our three-night stay. I have read that similar travelers have suffered the same fate. I realize that this is certainly a "first-world problem", but after a long day of travel I like to be able to pick up... More

Recent business stay. Not really a hotel. Looks and has the feel of a B&B or guesthouse. Service level to match. No food other than breakfast on site. Room service evening food revolting. Staff pleasant but don't give impression of any sense of caring/responsibility. Would not recommend and won't be staying again.

As the title says, this hotel is situated in an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from Holborn tube (off Southampton Row). The hotel has been created from four adjoining Georgian London townhouses, so there are several staircases and corridors and I got lost once or twice! The receptionand bar areas are very appealing and comfortable. The 2nd floor... More
