The Clarence Boutique Rooms

Lovely property, with great staff. Wouldn’t stay again for the price. It felt a little pricey for what it was. I had to pay extra for a latte for breakfast. It felt there was prices on top of prices.

The cost, everything else was fine.

Friendly staff, lovely clean and comfy room. Close to everything we needed.

The parking permit was very useful.They also went one step further when I ordered porridge and the breakfast staff were seen later returning from the shops with the bananas.

Lovely well decorated rooms and such friendly staff

Worth booking parking if you can, street parking is fine but may be a little away from the property so if the weather is bad or you have lots to bring I would recommend another option

Very clean, room was spacious and area was quiet. Close to bus stop into Portsmouth town centre. Lovely weekend spent with my partner! Highly recommended

Really bad

Not a hotel. Grubby old house. Cheap fittings. Bad smelling linen and towels. Fur coat mo knickers.Would never recommend one of the worst places I have ever stayed. Food atrocious.

Clean, quiet, good breakfast

Small bed, dark room,

Convenient location, reserved parking available, quiet rooms

I would request main building next time

Breakfast very good. Bathroom very small but shower good. Friendliness of majority of staff.

Room was small and very warm. Furniture poor. Bed was small and not particularly comfortable. The hotel was on three separate sites. One where we had gated parking, two which was the main hotel away from the parking and three was a separate building on another street. We had to drag our cases around all three.

Clean

Just one tiny thing- thing I was too short to use bathroom mirror and lights not bright enough to use bed room mirror.

Lovely spacious room, amazing bathroom with walk-In shower, simple & elegant decoration, everything was clean and tidy

staff, welcoming my dog, great service

breakfast could have been slightly better

Nice warm welcome from the hotel staff who were friendly and efficient. Our room was changed but as an upgrade that was fine. We had breakfast which was excellent and a great way to start the day. The room was fine and clean with a comfy bed, we loved the older style of decor. It's a good location for the seafront and only a short to the center of Portsmouth.

Small minor niggles -Crumbs on the chair when seating for breakfast could easily be brushed off.The small butter dish was placed on top of the hash browns to the side would have been better. Our room was near the speaker in the dining area so you could hear music in the background but not too loud.Maybe a bit more storage space in the room.

Clean Area good

Bath didn’t work Paid almost twice price for bath to not work nor tv Reported in evening nothing sorted

The communications received prior to staying were very detailed and clear. Breakfast was very nice and checking in was efficient.

The door to the room was on a staircase and it was very noisy with people passing to go up and down the stairs

Our reception when we arrived late at night was exceptional. The excellent lady at the desk keot in touch to assure we'd be met whenever we arrived. She came with us cheerfully to get us parked in the gated lot nearby, and to help with luggage. (Three narrow off-street reserve-only spaces are available at the reception building.) She and the night watchman were so very kind and helpful. One of us doesn't walk well, so she placed us in an easy-access room up just 3 short steps, and helped us get settled. The courteous staff the next morning helped us find shopping nearby. We loved the charm of a 'hotel' consisting of nearby, unjoined properties, helping to preserve the neighbourhood's character.

The bathroom was musty - needed a good bleach cleaning. No window, no fan. And there was no cold water the night we stayed! It was an unexpected contrast to the comfortable room. The surrounding streets are particularly narrow, with resident parking on both sides. We barely squeezed through in our average-size car at crawl speed - with the wing mirrors folded in. Bigger vehicles should avoid those -- but will be fine on the primary street that passes the reception building, and in the gated parking.

Room was very clean and comfortable. Good supply of toiletries in the bath room and excellent shower. There was a fan in the room which was really useful given the hot weather. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only a few minutes walk from the sea front and attractions

Nothing negative about the property but on street car parking was vey crowded. Good to have the parking permit but had to park a fair distance from the accommodation. Not an issue for us but could be for other guests

The room and bathroom were clean. The bed was super comfortable and the shower had good water pressure :)

The room(s) looked a lot bigger online. It was perfectly adequate, but not what I had anticipated. Parking (even with the permit provided) was a bit of an issue.

The quality of the fittings in the room were exceptional. Breakfast and staff superb!

Despite it being cool outside the room was stiflingly hot. We had windows open and a fan on but it was still hot. Not a lot of sleep had.

Clean and spacious. Location was perfect.

Parking can be trying. Worth paying to park on hotel facility but on-street parking is available
