The Royal Clarence Hotel (on the Seafront)

Very nice, clean, quiet hotel right on the sea front near the pier and not too far from the town centre. The double room was the right size, a bit on the warm side as the window wont open fully but a fan was provided. The bathroom was very clean and the shower, although not powerful was ok. Not much storage space for a long stay but we were only there for 1 night. Check in was fine and slightly before time. Downsides would be the stairs are quite steep and there is no lift so not very disable friendly. There is also limited parking, only about 5 or 6 spaces. Although a nice hotel and we would stay there again its a bit expensive for room only as there is no bar or restaurant.

My partner and I have stayed here many times and keep going back... because apart from being a Prime location the hotel is a lovely place to stay well looked after very clean and the beds are very comfortable... the proprietor is a really nice guy always helpful and friendly.. I love burnham on sea and staying at the Clarence just makes it all the more special thank you Trish 😊

DO NOT STAY IN ROOM 14!! A clean hotel with plenty of security cameras (imagine Big Brother!!) but room #14 should have remained a cleaners cupboard. Small and compact with no natural ventilation and tiny ensuite. The only window was internal and didn’t open fully to the internal corridor - sadly according to the fire escape plan there were other similar rooms but because we didn’t enter those it would be incorrect to assume.

Positives - * Shower was brilliant and lots of hot water. * Owner had a map with restaurants and where to get food / drink which was really helpful. All was nice and close too. * Microwave and seating areas available. * Location is on the seafront. Negatives - * Noisy - Being by the veranda and an entry door meant you heard every voice and also doors shutting. Machinators are in use in the bathrooms and you could hear these from other rooms on occasion ( including one which is woke me up!). * Neither radiator or heated towel rail were turned on. Ambient temperature was fine but we would have liked to be able to turn it up one point when we came back cold and wet from the rain. * Bathroom was unusual shape which you could only just get into, with no useable surfaces to put things on. * We asked for an accessible room when we booked and also when we did the online check in. We didn’t get one nor was our request referred to. It was more than 'only a few steps' to get to reception. Better to state that it is not accessible at all to guests with physical disabilities. * Cleanliness okay in the room but basin not clean. * Wifi did not work all the time. * Seaview is through a glass fronted veranda so okay if you don’t mind people walking straight past your window! Room only - no food or drink, but this was made clear on the website. It was fine as a basic ‘no frills’ room. Seems a little expensive for what it is.

Nick the Host was extremely hospitable. My son and I were there for a Rugby tournament nearby that my son was attending. Before we even ask, Nick upgraded our room so my son can have more room. His hotel is lovely and super clean. The bed was very comfortable and we are already planning a return trip with my husband. Amazing stay. With lots of lovely views of the sea. Highly recommended.

Nick is extremely helpful and considerate - check in was very easy and the rooms are well maintained. It was perfect for my business trip. The location is wonderful and it is delightful to sit on the balcony and watch the sun setting over the sea across the road.
