Enjoyed a lovely overnight stay at the clarion. Rooms are modern and well furnished. Reception staff were really helpful and gave us lots of recommendations, and were clearly proud of the history of the property. The location was awesome. Directly opposite to the entrance to the cathedral and a stones throw from the town and huge park. Lots of locely pubs and restaurants. Will I definitely stay there again when visiting St Albans. The covid-restricted breakfast could do with a little work

Toilet had not been cleaned.... urine on seat, Lumpy bed and building work taking place which we were not advised about made this a disappointing experience. Staff very friendly, free car parking and a welcoming bar enhanced our stay

Staff so very friendly and helpful - nothing too much trouble in making one’s stay comfortable and pleasant. Historically building close to town centre, amenities and an abundance of nearby restaurants. Breakfast wonderful..

Nice to be so close to town and market

Pros: Close to everything and very clean
Cons: Would have liked to be able to open windows to get fresh air. Also would be helpful if the other car parks could be noted on line.
Location: Christmas market, shops and regular market
Very good although would have liked the opportunity to have an evening meal in restaurant and not Cafe Rouge.

Very well located, plenty of parking

Pros: Welcoming and helpful staff, beautiful building in a great location.
Cons: Although pleasant the air freshener on our lower ground floor was a little overpowering at times.
Location: Nowhere is far away. Independent shops, but also places of interest eg the Cathedral, Theatre and Local Park. The view down the hill was fantastic!
Lovely building, centrally located. Very well presented rooms with all one could need for a short break. Staff are very welcoming and also well informed about StAlbans and it’s attractions. Breakfast was lovely and gave a wide choice to suit all tastes. Definitely would stay again and strongly recommend to friends and family.

Central location, Lovely historical building.

Pros: Unique building, friendly staff, location
Cons: Shame several images on the website are of parts of the building not accessible to general guests - shame you cant make more of those areas.
Location: Central for local unusual independent shops, all range of shopping, historical buildings and cathedral - covers all tastes for all types of getaways.
Lovely place to stay for a getaway. Central location, beautiful old building with smart modern accommodation. Friendly and helpful staff day and night. Surprisingly good value for money, especially given its location and standards throughout. Have already recommended to friends.
