What guests say
I stayed at Clarendon for a week during a business trip, and overall it was a very pleasant experience. The hotel is located in a scenic park area. Accessibility is excellent, with public transportation nearby and small local shops offering a taste of the area’s demographic and international cuisine. The property is well maintained, yet it retains a traditional vintage charm in its rooms and core structure, which adds character to the stay. Hospitality was warm and professional, and the breakfast spread was truly high-quality — a highlight of my mornings here. The staff ensured comfort and cleanliness throughout my stay, which made the week feel smooth and enjoyable. One area that could use improvement is the speed of the Wi-Fi, which was a bit slow at times. For business travelers, this is an important factor, and enhancing connectivity would make the experience even better. Overall, I had a very good stay and would highly recommend to anyone visiting this region. It’s a unique blend of heritage charm and modern convenience, perfect for both business and leisure travelers.

The Clarendon had been recommended to me by my son because was going with a friend to a show at the O2 and I had also read some other positive comments on line. I was given easy directions from a member of staff when I booked, as we were coming by train and also told of the 108 bus that ran from right opposite the hotel straight to the O2 with an all night service. On arrival our room was ready and spotlessly clean. The hotel is quite old fashioned and quirky, but charming. The rooms are fairly basic, but are adequate and the room rate for a London hotel was very good for bed and breakfast. Breakfast was in a very pleasant dining room, the breakfast buffet was good and the food was actually hot. I asked for coffee with hot milk and I was served with an individual pot of coffee and a separate jug of properly hot milk. Staff were lovely and I was even asked if I would like another pot of fresh coffee after finishing my eggs and bacon. If you are going to the O2 and want a reasonably priced comfortable hotel with excellent (and cheap) access to the venue, I thoroughly recommend the Clarendon. If we had wanted to pay for a taxi they would have organized it, but the bus service is so good it really made more sense to use public transport. We are already thinking of a reason to revisit, possibly to go to Greenwich which I haven't been to for years.
