Stayed over Christmas. Only around thirty people staying in the whole hotel so would guess that there are problems. Staff were friendly but overstretched. Each were doing several jobs. Cost cutting? Pleasant staff but worst bit was that there was NO hot water for the entire five day stay there. No apology either personally or by a note slipped through the door. The entertainer was swearing which was unnecessary and upset some residents.

This hotel is bad. You can tell when a hotel is going downhill when they have to fill it with coach parties. We were the only private guests in the place. The rooms we scruffy, and the furniture was old painted chipboard stuff. The 1st morning we attempted breakfast, we were seated with the coach drivers in a seperete area to the golden oldies. The tea arrived with tea pots that leaked all over, and the milk tasted like UHT. The breakfast was swimming in grease and consisted of fatty bacon, sausages that tasted of saw dust and the baked beans were just vile (how can you mess up baked beans). We left breakfast and went to Asda for a wonderful cup of tea - Thank-you Asda.
In conclusion - DO NOT GO TO THE CLARENCE, then you wont be disappointed.

Stopped here in Easter last year. Shower didn't work. Room was small and dated. Another guest complained that his room hadn't been cleaned probably as there was Talcum Powder in his room. He was informed that his room had been cleaned and is was actually flea powder they had put down! Breakfast was poor.

Booked this through Internet which said there was parking (Limited spaces). There is actually only on road parking available which as the previous reviewer stated you are competing with the general public and other hotels.

The staff were helpful and the bar stopped open late were the only good points.

I can imagine not so long ago that the Clarence hotel was a superb three to four star rated holiday hotel in the Victorian seaside town of Llandudno. But today, its Victorian themed side is kept not by clever interior decor, but by the way its been left mostly untouched. Its elevator appears to be the original fitted at the turn of the 1900's and only has room for two people without luggage. The room we stayed in needed a good clean at the least. The window didnt close properly and fresh air was in free supply. Watch out that all bathrooms dont have showers. Also, car parking is on the road so its first come, first serve with the rest of the public and hotels. On the plus side, the hotel seemed to be family run and the breakfast was good. Thats it really.
