Amazing short stay. We stayed just for one night, staff is very professional and the room was absolutely adorable.
Concierge team helped us booking our tours and suggesting restaurants, they were really helpful and friendly.
The location is very convenient and near to everything.
We would definitely stay at The Clarence again.
