“Rooms offer up-close North Bay views; I found the location ideal for accessing the Scarborough Open Air Theatre and the North Bay beaches. While some rooms are indeed compact, they are also meticulously maintained and thoughtfully equipped, plus, the Victorian architecture adds character that many modern hotels simply lack. A solid coastal escape, especially if travelling with a dog.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Clarence Gardens Hotel, BW Signature Collection from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Clarence Gardens Hotel is widely praised for its modern and clean rooms, with many offering lovely sea views, some even from the bath. Guests appreciate the convenience of having tea and coffee making facilities in their rooms. The hotel's location is ideal for accessing both North and South bays, and the Open Air Theatre is just a short stroll away; however, some guests have found the 'cozy double' rooms to be on the smaller side. Delicious breakfasts are frequently mentioned, with special praise for the grilled tomatoes, and the lounge and bar area also provide stunning views overlooking the sea.

the location had amazing views over the bay.

the cozy double room i got felt just like a single. the foot of the bed almost touched the wall, so i couldn't walk around it. there wasn't a mirror for drying my hair, and the extractor fan in the bathroom did not work. street parking was my only option, i had to pay extra for it.

The staff were helpful. My room was clean and tidy. I liked that parking was straightforward with places out front.

I found that the walls are not sound proof. I could hear people walking upstairs, i think it's an issue with the building. My room was small. It did not look like photos online.

the allocated classic room was excessively small. i had to confirm it was not a cozy room by mistake. walls were inadequately soundproofed allowing noise from adjacent rooms to be heard all night. this disturbance severely affected sleep quality. i found these aspects disappointing considering the standard i expect.
