Clarendon Hotel in Dover

This place is fantastic - I only have good things to say. The location is great - in the centre of town and on the beach. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfy (get room 4 if you can - the view over the sea is amazing!) and the staff are absolutely lovely - warm, professional and incredibly accommodating. I was so impressed. Would totally recommend.

My daughter and I stayed at the hotel for one night, I booked the Addelam Suite, the room is beautiful, really amazing room, the bathroom with the walk in shower it's a 10! We loved it. The service was nice, We did check in online and got a code to enter building and room so we didn't get to see anybody at all, but when I called them late at night they were very helpful and servicing. The room is located on the ground floor, just by the main entrance so quite noisy, we could hear the cars and people walking in and out the whole night, plus the people in the room above us were very noisy too walking up and down the room for hours from 11pm, very cracky floors so it was quite annoying. We were tired after a day of hiking around Dover and a bus ride to Deal but still couldn't manage to get a restful night. The bed is huge in the room and comfortable but too much disturbance around the room. We would definitely come back but on the top floor better.

I’m sure some of the rooms look like those shown on website, but ours was disappointing. Two very narrow single beds with inches between them. No proper reception and no breakfast facilities. Had to park in public car park behind hotel, then carry cases up and down a labyrinth of steps. Expensive compared to other hotels we used on our tour of Kent.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Clarendon. We stayed in the Smugglers Cabin. It was very clean and had all the things we needed. Great view but couldn't open the window and I can understand that for safety as the room is at street level. So to let air in from time to time we had to leave the main door open for a few minutes. We met some staff and they were very helpful in answering our questions. Lovely place, would book again.

While the hotel was decent, our hearts were captured by the incredible coastal vibes. The location couldn't have been more perfect.
