Clarendon Suites

Room King 4 Pro..The location is great, good size room with good comfortable king-size bed and smart decor. Good coffee machine and tea making facilities. A microwave. Con..there's no real fridge but a cool box which couldn't keep anything cool. -No heating so there's no heated towel rail or radiator. -There were no toiletries but several small tubes of shampoo and hairs conditioner. -There's no bath mat, we had to use one of the hand towels. -TV remote control wasn't working properly and not compatible with the TV. -The WiFi was temperamental. -There should be some washing up stuff because there's a sink and a microwave. -There's only one chair, so there's no place to sit and eat apart from the bed.

I overpaid for what they call a suite apt. But is nothing more that a room with a sink and a microfridge, one plate for two person and no sitting space whatsoever apart from the bed. Too bad it's a trap and once you sit, you won't be able to leave. Beware people with back problems. The room is publicised as having a microwave, but look, there is none. Since we chose that solution over cheaper ones because we wanted the microwave and kitchenette, we ended up having breakfast on the trap bed. When we complained, and I showed them proof their website is clearly selling something that is not true, they shrugged their shoulders, said there is nothing they could do and just offered me to use the microwave in the bar. Right, except if I wanted to use the microwave in the bar, I would have gone to a hostel. To me, this is unacceptable, and I would urge everyone to not gift these people with money they don't appreciate, because they won't value you.

My partner and I stayed in the "penthouse" for four days in September, 2022. We LOVED our room, the location, the bar/restaurant staff on the ground floor, and the easy check-in/check-out process. The suite was perfectly clean and very cute. We especially liked the view and all the flower boxes. We had plenty of interaction with the Bar Rue staff downstairs, and they — and the food and drink — were first rate. The only downside is the noise. And it's not from the bar, but from the surrounding area (lots of bars/shopping/eateries) — and at ALL hours (way past last call). The management did provide ear plugs, which worked to some extent. If you book this place and are bothered by noise, I would recommend bringing your own, high-quality ear plugs. While we were definitely bothered by the noise, we loved this place and its central location so much that we would book it again, and would recommend it to friends.
