About

Hotel Clementine

Hotel Clementine occupies a handsome Victorian building on a quiet residential street, yet the city centre is a short stroll away. The property blends period character—original fireplaces, four-poster beds, and a sun terrace—with modern comforts like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Mornings start with a made-to-order breakfast in the dining room, or you can opt for in-room dining. The bar and lounge invite slow afternoons, while the garden and terrace offer a peaceful retreat. With key-card access, luggage storage, and a warm welcome for pets, the hotel is set up for both short city breaks and longer stays.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Excellent breakfast — Guests consistently praise the quality and range of the breakfast, with options for in-room dining and special diets.
  • Central yet quiet location — A 14-minute walk to Saint Mary's Abbey and a short stroll to the Minster and City Walls, all set in a peaceful residential area.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can be small — Some guest rooms are compact—particularly the 'Small Queen' and 'Small Double'—and a few reviewers found attic rooms cramped.
  • Price and service rating lower than other categories — At £127 per night, some guests may feel the value doesn't always match expectations, especially given the smaller rooms.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 22:30, which may be restrictive for guests arriving later or needing early access.
  • No air conditioning — The hotel relies on heating and open windows; during warmer months, rooms may not cool down quickly.
