Great customer service

It was great 😊

I booked a twin room for an overnight stay for my son and I while on one of our roadtrips..! The hotel staff are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. The Clarendon is quite an old building and as real estate agents like to say: "In original condition", but the bedding and towels are clean and the rooms are tidy. The breakfast is very reasonably priced for a continental-style breakfast (cereal/toast/spreads etc) - my son was offered breakfast for free(!) however, on our road trips we prefer a big 'English breakfast' which the hotel does not provide. That's no problem, because within 100m there are cafes galore catering for every kind of taste. This was my second stay at the Clarendon, and I will be going back again since the value and location are hard to beat.

It's an older property so don't go expecting all the flash mod-cons. Our room had a TV, air-con and wi-fi, so the modern basics are there. The decor and furniture is from the last century, but it's ok. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, so all good there. We were very comfortable in our Queen room which had a nice little sun-room area where we could sit and talk. We had a great time in Katoomba and the hotel is conveniently located close to Katoomba Street and all the cafes, restaurants and shops. There's an Aldi, Coles and Liquorland very close by, which was very handy! The breakfast offering was reasonably priced, but it's a continental breakfast only. If you want the full English breakfast you'll have to make the short walk to Katoomba Street (no more than 100 metres away). We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Very helpful, friendly staff.

The Clarendon is a unique example of an old school guest house. In its heyday it would have been a mecca for accommodation, entertainment and dining. It still has all the hallmarks of its former glory. We really enjoyed our stay at the Carendon.
