This hotel was beautiful. We arrived and we're given some complimentary drinks, Louise looked after us and made sure are stay ran perfectly. She organised dinner to be done slightly earlier for us as my partner and I we're going out that evening. The food was brilliant, the chef at The Clarence cooked the steak and prawns perfectly. The room... more

Me and my partner have stayed at the Clarence twice. After, the first time being a really pleasant stay we had to go back. The rooms were fantastic, the first being the 'Follow your Heart' room which had a large bath with a tv built into the wall, along with a really comfortable double bed. The most recent stay we... more

A very pleasant stay. The restaurant was exceptional! A small hotel well appointed and maintained. The service was second to none. thank you to George. This was a great find and we would certainly recommend it to our friends. more

What more can I say. From the moment we arrived we received excellent service. The Room was brilliant and as for the shower, well you could fit a rugby team in there. We were right at the top of the Hotel and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The hotel is about a 2 min walk from the seafront and... more

So it was with great excitement that my partner and... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at The Clarence on a cold Sunday at the end of Jan. We booked it as a treat before he went off on a 6 month deployment and we could not have chosen better. We've stayed in a number of Portsmouth hotels in the past and nothing comes close to The Clarence. From the moment... more

First impressions do not count in this instance. Ignore the terrible high rise block of flats opposite & step into Clarence Hotel. From the staff to the room to the service, everything exceeds expectations. The room was out of this world. The food albeit only bar food, was ready quickly & presented to a high standard. Louise is an absolute... more

We stayed in the Clarence Hotel for only one night. The room was beautifully decorated, perfectly laid out and extremely comfortable. From the beginning the staff were welcoming and friendly. The whole place has a lovely cosy and warm atmosphere that immediately appeals and makes you feel comfortable and at home. The added extras, like the complimentary welcome drink, the... more

My partner and I were very lucky enough to be given an upgrade to the Luella Cherry and I must say what a fantastic and relaxing time we had. On arrival, we were greeted, offered a welcome drink and shown in and around our room. The Luella Cherry room was so comfortable and spacious, and of course the gem was... more
