Malcolm L. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Dear Malcom, Thank you for your feedback and for your loyalty as an ALL Gold member. I’m pleased our location suited your business visit, though I’m sorry the stay did not meet your expectations for value. Regarding your colleague’s booking, our single-night rates are not at the level of $1,000 you mentioned. That amount may have represented the total for several nights. The hotel was fully refurbished at the end of 2024. As we do not have an in-house food and beverage offering, we have partnered with nearby cafés to provide breakfast for our guests. Thank you for your feedback on the breakfast arrangement. I will discuss your concerns about the meal’s value with our café partner. Thank you also for highlighting the Wi-Fi speed. Kind regards, The Clarence Hotel Sydney Team

Dear Ryan, Thank you for your feedback and for being an ALL Accor member. We’re pleased you enjoyed the room and amenities and appreciated the cleanliness. Your kind words about our check-in colleague will be shared with the team. We’re sorry the street noise interrupted your sleep. We appreciate your suggestion about sound dampening and will raise it with management for consideration. We will note your preference for a quieter room for future visits and do our best to accommodate it, subject to availability. We hope to welcome you back for a more restful stay. Kind regards, The Clarence Hotel Sydney Team

Dear Adrian, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m pleased you enjoyed our location near the QVB and found our team friendly and helpful. I’m sorry your cups and glasses were missed during room servicing. I’ll follow up with our housekeeping team to make sure this step is included in each service. I also appreciate your feedback about the limited hanging space and understand how that can make it harder to settle in during a longer stay. We hope to welcome you back to The Clarence Hotel Sydney.

Ryan B. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

The stay was great and staff were amazing, I really liked the room and amenities but being on first floor with a window directly facing to the street was very loud at night and I was woken up from people yelling or works being completed which I understand is not in your control but I would say something that could be sound dampened.

Sherritt B. A. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

The experience was fine - the room was smaller than I had expected, to the point where I struggled to find somewhere to put my suitcase, but having said this though it had everything that I needed and that you would expect in a central city hotel. The bed was comfortable, it had an in room safe and a coffee machine, and the bathroom had all the you would want.

Sandra B. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

I paid for 3 days of breakfast but the breakfast place was not open on a saturday - which was disappointing as I had to find something before the conference I was attending. I would like the breakfast refunded.

Dear Sandra, Thank you for your review of your stay at our hotel! We appreciate all the details and your sentiment of your experience with us. We apologize for the inconvenience caused on the last day of your stay, and we have already proceeded with your breakfast refund. Unfortunately we do not have breakfast on-site, and we rely with partnered cafes, which unfortunately do not operate on weekends. We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as this should not be available on the reservation time to add breakfast packages over the weekend, and we already have flagged to our team to fix the mistake. We appreciate your review as this will make our service better each time, and we are glad that our team is happy to assist and you also felt that as per your review. Wishing you a lovely weekend, Reach out to us any time needed. Regards, The Clarence Hotel Sydney

Anthony S. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

We left our car keys in the room. The hotel called us to let us know. Otherwise we would have arrived back interstate to the airport carpark to realise we'd left the keys behind. 10 out of 10 for courtesy and helpfulness.

Dear Anthony, Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for your loyalty as an ALL Gold member. I’m delighted our team contacted you about your car keys before you travelled interstate. That could have been a frustrating discovery at the airport car park, so it’s lovely to know their care made a difference. I’ll gladly share your kind words with them. We look forward to welcoming you back to The Clarence Hotel Sydney. Kind regards, The Clarence Hotel Sydney Team

Ruth M. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel has welcoming, friendly staff and the room was clean and comfortable, nicely furnished. The entrance is just a doorway with a corridor leading to a reception stand & then on to the lifts. Not salubrious at all. The location is very central & our room was quiet.

Dear Ruth, Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your loyalty as an ALL Gold member. I’m pleased you enjoyed our central location, quiet and comfortable room, and the warm welcome from our team. I appreciate your honest comments about the entrance and reception area and understand that the arrival experience fell short expectation. I also apologize for the hair found in your bathroom. I will address this with our housekeeping team to reinforce attention to detail. We hope to welcome you back for an even better stay. Kind regards, The Clarence Hotel Sydney Team

Large amount of water from the shower room escaped through the bottom edge of glass door which cause the floor towel very wet.

Harold W. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel has been recently updated but unfortunately it looked like who ever the designers were, have never used the bathroom. Although the bathroom was large and spacious, it did not have one towel rail or clothes hook. You literally had to put your clothes on the ground when changing. There was also no shelf space to put a toiletries bag or even a plug in the washbasin. In the main room there was no bench or luggage racks to put you suitcases on so once again they had to go on the floor. The room did not have a safe despite being told by staff to look for it. They later said they were surprised by this fact!. The staff were very good and did offer us the chance to change rooms the next day but as we were only staying two nights we didn’t bother. For a relatively expensive accommodation it also does not have any restaurants or bars and the breakfast options are average at best.

Dear Harold, Thank you for your detailed feedback and for your loyalty as an ALL Gold member. I am sorry that the practical features of your room fell short of expectations. Although the hotel was recently refurbished, the designers worked within the existing heritage footprint to create what they considered the best use of the available space. I regret that the resulting layout and amenities did not meet your needs. Your comments about towel rails, hooks, toiletries storage and luggage space are valid and highlight areas for improvement. I also apologise for the incorrect information provided about the safe. While I appreciate your kind words about our staff, I understand that moving rooms during a short stay was inconvenient. I am also sorry that the breakfast options and absence of an on-site restaurant or bar detracted from your experience. Your suggestion that we assess the room from a guest’s perspective is fair. We will review your feedback with our team to identify practical improvements and ensure accurate information is provided. Thank you for bringing these concerns to my attention. I hope we have the opportunity to restore your confidence in a future stay. Warm regards, The Clarence Hotel Sydney Team

Angelica N. C. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

With 18sqm of space, they had a great design that makes the room seem bigger than it is. It is centrally located and is just a block away from coles grocery. While it is a little farther away from a station, the area is quite safe. One thing to note though is that there is a construction going on beside the building and you might get disturbed sleep in the morning as the construction starts at 7am. So most of us just cannot sleep in.

Dear Angelica, Thank you for your lovely feedback and for your loyalty as an ALL Silver member. We are pleased you enjoyed our central location, thoughtful room design and cleanliness. Your excellent rating for our team is also greatly appreciated. Please accept our apologies for the early-morning noise from the construction next door. We have been advised that the most disruptive phase is now over, and noise should be significantly reduced, allowing for a more restful morning and the opportunity to sleep in. Thank you also for your feedback regarding the WiFi speed, which we will look into with our technical support team. We hope to welcome you and your friends back for an even more comfortable stay. Warm regards, The Clarence Hotel Sydney Team
