The service from the hotel staff was pretty good overall although we didn't need to ask for much. Staff were quite responsive to any requests and provided the relevant information (e.g. when the opening hours were for breakfast). So no real complaints in this area... The room however left a lot to be desired - fair enough we picked an... more

We stayed at the Clarendon for the Christmas in July event. We booked 2 rooms a couple of months in advance and specifically asked for the guesthouse rooms. Upon arrival we were told one of the rooms was changed to a motel room as it was given to guests who had arrived the night before. The lady at reception was... more

Our biggest disppointment related to the actual standard and presentation of the rooms versus the expected from the website images and the guide price in comparision with competition in Katoomba. More like a cheap and dirty country pub - not what we expected. more

The staff might be friendly, but so are the cockroaches. The Clarendon Guesthouse was probably nice fifty years ago but it needs a good clean, replumbing of the guesthouse rooms and redecoration. Motel rooms had dust that looked a year old on top of wardrobes and under the bed (where we found two cockroaches, one alive and one dead). The... more

We spent four days at the Clarendon. The rooms are cosy and have lovely period furntiture. They are comfortable but not flash. The hotel is the place to stay, not the motel. Get a room in the hotel. They serve great breakfasts in the dining room. Full cooked breakfasts. The location is near the main street and not far from... more

My family ans I stayed at the Clarendon and were very disappointed. It was 8 degrees and we had no heating in our room which was outside the guest house, more of a drive in Motel than a cosy guest house. The Web site offered open log fires, there was no warm fire to sit by just an old room... more

We loved this hotel. Yes it could do with a lick of paint and a bit of smartening up but our room was spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were really welcoming and helpful and the breakfast was lovely (we would recommend the pancakes). It is a 2 min walk to the main street which has... more
