The Clarendon Hotel

Appalling place. Basil Fawlty would be proud of this shambles. Looks and feels like it hasn’t been updated since the 70’s.
So hot in my room that I asked for a fan on my second night here and had the night manager tell me they didn’t have any even though there was one plugged in next to him? He eventually gave it to me (what a generous guy).
Wifi is total rubbish — may as well be on dial up. When I asked about this I was told it wasn’t the hotels issue — blame EE?
Sadly, being the only hotel (if you can call it that) in Blackheath means that they can be this shabby yet still get business. Sad indictment of the industry…

Great hotel! Stayed here for a business trip, it is ideally located in Blackheath village, with excellent scenery. The staff are nice but can be a little distant at times, but the hotel interior is first class, and the suites of the rooms are very lovely and very clean and traditional. However the alarms of the hotel seem to set off but it probably was just on that day! Overall I had a great experiance and enjoyed this lovely hotel. It also has a great restaurant and its own gardens.

For somewhere to stay outside of central London, then head to Blackheath Village to this three star hotel. Although the building looks somewhat dated inside and out, the rooms are spacious, clean and good value for money. Breakfast is included in the room price and the restaurant serves food in the evening. The staff are helpful and pleasant. Not a great place to stay if you need disabled access, but if you want a weekend in London away from the bustle of the city then this is perfect to capture village life. The Clarendon is a mere stone’s throw from the train station, where it’s a fifteen-​minute train journey into the centre.
