A surprisingly luxurious bargain room in a great location...
Pros:

I really liked that my room was only £79.60 - that was my main reason for choosing Grange Clarendon. With its excellent location a few paces from Bloomsbury Square Garden I thought the price was great but didn't expect much from my room. I was quite wrong - I had an amazing room. It was downstairs (here we go, I thought, into a cupboard in the basement) but no - it was an old-fashioned large double room. There was a desk, a huge bed and masses of space. The bathroom was also vast - it all felt very luxurious. I was in town to see Pappy's Flatshare Slamdown in Cavendish Square and the George Clarendon was a comfortable 20-minute walk away, so perfectly placed. Had I been of a mind, I could also have perused Oxford Street but I opted for a late lunch in All Bar One instead. When I finally returned from a night of gallivanting I had a very good sleep in the comfortable bed. I have not seen the room at this price again, but when I do I will snap it up. A great location with very friendly staff.

Cons:

It did not bother me but the room was quite noisy being just below road height and opening onto various air-conditioning units. If I have been visiting London for the peace and quiet it would have been a problem but since I was there just to sleep between events it was no trouble at all.

4/10
Pros:

The location is very good and probably the only strong point of this hotel.

Cons:

The hotel is advertised as 4 star, but in reality it feels closer to a 3 star at best.
Negative aspects:
The bathroom door would not close properly, and there was constant noise from the ventilation system that couldn’t be turned off. The room temperature could not be adjusted, which made the stay uncomfortable. The carpet looked old and not very clean. There was no bottled water in the room, and when I asked at reception, I was given tap water instead, which was disappointing.
Overall, the hotel does not justify its 4 star rating.

Ok
Pros:

Tem elevador. O banheiro é novíssimo e excelente. Tem banheira grande! No quarto tem chaleira e chá e café solúvel e uns biscoitinhos que a noite são um sucesso!!!

Cons:

Não foi exatamente na acomodação, mas um dos funcionários da madrugada não cumpriu suas “tarefas”. Eu tinha que acordar às 4:30 am. Pedi um wake-up call, que ele não fez. Caso eu não tivesse colocado despertador no meu celular não teria acordado e perderia meu trem. Outro problema foi que pedi na noite anterior que agendassem um táxi para mim para 4:45. O táxi chegou e o mesmo funcionário disse a ele que não havia chamado. Quando eu desci estranhei o táxi não estar, e ele então falou: “ Ele está mais à frente”… Só que esse “mais à frente” era lá no final do quarteirão e tive que correr para alcançar o motorista que já estava indo embora pois já havia tentado outros hotéis e não me achava. Ações SIMPLES, que o funcionário de uma recepção de hotel deveria estar mais que acostumado e ele simplesmente não soube executá-las e quase me prejudicou muito. Quando saí correndo atrás do táxi pela rua, puxando a mala ele sequer veio me ajudar. Um absurdo.

Fantastic short stay , we have visited before and wouldn't hesitate to again
Pros:

The room was spacious , tidy and always warm. The location was ideal for sightseeing with underground links within a short walking distance. The breakfast was continental with the additional option of a cooked breakfast for £5 which was great value and the service was always first class from very pleasant staff

Lovely hotel in great location
Pros:

Receptionist viktoria was lovely. Room very large and lovely traditional feel to the hotel. In a wide street with views of the gardens

Cons:

Breakfast staff were stroppy, weren't offered to upgrade out breakfast to cooked. No air-con but there were 2 large fans in the room which worked well.

Very disappointing
Cons:

I paid for a room I didn’t get, which was simply appalling. It was most likely a workers sleeping over bed ,very small with a single bed that sunk in the middle. The room was like a cupboard all white with a tiny window near the ceiling.When I complained the manager told me the problem was because I hadn’t booked directly with the hotel. I used booking. Com. After being told there were no other rooms available and a long waiting period, a suitable room was found. I was not a good start to my trip to London .
