What guests think

Set on Blackheath, The Clarendon Hotel earns consistent praise for friendly service, excellent cooked breakfasts, and a convenient location with easy transport to Greenwich, the O2 and central London, though its traditional building shows its age.

Rooms vary from spacious to compact, many feel dated, bathrooms can be tiny, and the lack of air conditioning means summer stays can be uncomfortably warm; front-facing rooms may pick up traffic noise, while garden rooms are quieter. Cleanliness is generally good, but reviews note occasional lapses like stained carpets, lingering odors, or stray hairs, and some showers suffer from temperature or pressure issues. Free on-site parking is a bonus but strictly first-come and often full during events, and Wi-Fi can be unreliable. Overall, it suits travellers who prioritise character and price over modern comforts.

After driving 150 miles and arriving before check-in I was gutted to find no parking was available due to a wedding reception. The check-in staff were not really interested in my dilemma and had little knowledge of alternatives in the area. Fortunately, I did and parked at the local station for £12. I do think that parking should be reserved for those staying at the hotel rather than day trippers.

Booked for a special occasion, well in advance, including dinner in the restaurant. However due to a function in the restaurant we had to eat in the bar. No one mentioned this event when we booked or when we arrived, so it was too late to book elsewhere on a busy Saturday night. A noisy night ensued. Poor communication spoilt a once in a lifetime event.

No air con so struggled in the hot weather. Couldn't open windows as no pigeon wires on window ledges meant birds could fly in. Signage to rooms needs to be better as on 3rd floor when lift only goes to 2nd. I know its an old hotel but some simple things should be looked at please to make the experience a bit better.

Check in and restaurant staff very polite, helpful and friendly. Very little parking, and if an event on in the hotel at the same time, none at all. Our room was satisfactory, but like most of the interior could do with a refresh/refurb, and the bathroom was tiny ! Being at the front of the property, good views across Blackheath, but a little noisy with traffic noise. Excellent location to walk into Greenwich Park, and to the Royal Observatory, the Maritime Museum, the Naval College, and Cutty Sark.

Although I booked a Crown room it was really not anything special so I cannot imagine how a standard room would be, There were cars beeping and slamming doors headlight beams shining in the room at all hours. The bathroom was SO small it was laughable (one person could hardly turn in it) The carpet was grubby as I spilt a drink and when I wiped yuck. The decor uninspiring and the pillows rock hard. The restaurant and bar areas were quite nice however and I feel the rooms just need to be redone. On line when I booked the photos I saw bore no resemblance to what was delivered

We have stayed at the Clarendon several times whilst visiting family, and are always welcomed at reception. There have been a couple of small teething problems with the rooms, i.e. toilet not flushing , but the problem has been sorted out quickly, and a new room allocated. The rooms are always spotlessly clean and the domestic staff are lovely. Breakfast is amazing, and the staff friendly and welcoming. The hotel is a short uphill walk from Blackheath railway station, has lovely views over the heath, and is close to walk to Greenwich.

My wife and I stayed for two nights. Our room was large and comfortable. Although the general cleanliness of the room was good, the room looked tired and slightly shabby. Chair arms were worn and had ingrained marks on them. Stains on the carpet and a large hole in the net curtain. Whilst these did not spoil our stay they were disappointing. However, the service from all the staff we dealt with was excellent, polite, helpful and smiling. Despite the issues mentioned we would stay again.

I had a room with a lovely view across the heath. The room was immaculate and comfortable. It was a very warm night, and I was glad for the fan and managed to stay cool. In the morning, I opened the window to let in cooler air and went out for a run. And on my return, a pigeon had taken up residence and was sitting on my bed! I mentioned this at reception on checkout, and the young lady was uninterested—such a shame, as the total lack of engagement tainted the whole stay.

The bedroom size was great but the decor out-dated.

It was too hot but there was a fan provided which made sleeping possible, if not comfortable.

This is a charming old hotel in an ideal location overlooking the Heath. Convenient for walking to town for shopping and dining. The interior of the rooms are old and in need of renovation though. I paid for an upgraded view room and was given one on the ground floor with the parking lot and busy street out front so I couldn't open the curtains to enjoy the heath view. The breakfast buffet was disappointing and not worth the daily fee.

The breakfast is not so exciting the Wi-Fi is not good, you must reconnect all the 20 minutes

The surrounding areas are stunningly beautiful, especially the park in front of the hotel. The stores within this area are unique and enjoyable to visit. The hotel was pristine clean. The property and facilities were excellent. I really appreciate your help and I will highly recommend this facility to any wouldbe traveller.
