Hotel Clementine

Hotel Clementine

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay here and would definitely recommend this hotel. It’s within walking distance of the city centre and offers parking, although spaces are limited. Luckily, we managed to get a space for the duration of our stay. We booked at the last minute after having a really unpleasant experience somewhere else and decided to find somewhere else to stay. This hotel more than made up for it! The room was spotlessly clean, stylish and comfortable, and both the bed and shower were great. We had an excellent night’s sleep. The staff were also lovely, welcoming and very helpful throughout our stay. Overall, a fantastic experience and a great find. We’d happily stay here again!"
