We stayed at The Clarence on a friend's recommendation and we were certainly not disappointed! From the outside, the hotel looks like a beautiful town house, and inside is just even better. The staff are wonderfully friendly and the welcome drink is a great touch. We stayed in the room at the front with the sunken bath - very boutique!... More

I am not really sure what I can possibly add that has not already been said - I stayed in the Follow Your Heart room recently and thought it was very very good. Thoroughly recommended.

We stayed for 3 nights here on a recent trip to Portsmouth. On booking, the staff were extremely helpful, and recommended Room 2, which is a ground floor room, as I have mobility problems and there is no lift.

I was impressed by the pictures of the rooms on offer via the hotels website, and made a booking based on what I'd seen. When I arrived at the hotel, I was made to... More

We stayed at The Clarence for 1 night for my Husband's birthday and we were very impressed with our stay. The service was fantastic - check in was brilliant: we were given lots of information about the area, received a welcome drink, our bags were taken to the room and we were personally shown to our room and how everything...
