The staff at The Clarence are always friendly and check-in is quick and easy. Our room was very well appointed and clean with a great view over towards the harbour. Each time we’ve come here it’s always for an event/dinner so we’ll have to try out the attached restaurant next time, which they do ask if you'd like a res on check-in.

The building is beautiful and it's great to see old buildings restored and preserved. However, the hotel is tired and needs some TLC. Unfortunately. the boutique hotel element we found a bit overstated as it is more a restaurant/bar with rooms. Check-in is managed by the person behind the bar - we waited at least 5 minutes before we were acknowledged and greeted. We managed to get a table for dinner, although there was very limited availability and were disappointed as we expected more based on the prices which we thought expensive. The fish of the day was a very small portion, served without accompaniments for NZD42.

Recently stayed here for one night and we found it to be very pleasant. No lift so needed to carry our bag up the stairs but this wasn’t too much of an issue. Rooms were very well appointed and comfy bed and pillows. In room espresso machine. We were warned that there would be an event downstairs with music until about 10pm. It was also convenient to eat dinner in the restaurant downstairs. Would recommend to travellers passing through this area.

Stayed in a Queen Deluxe room on a Friday night, but unfortunately we were kept awake by the music from the bar downstairs which didnt finish until around 2am! Had we known the bar was open until that time and could be heard from the rooms we probably would have chosen to stay elsewhere - guess we could have investigated further prior to booking but it was last minute during school holidays so not too many other options available. As a side feel the bathroom with its dark tiles and fittings, could do with more lighting, especially above the mirror, not easy to apply makeup well with the dim lighting in what is quite a dark room. Despite the above, the room was quite nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable with quality bedding and linen.

Pretty average experience for a so-called boutique hotel. On the plus side it's got a good location with free car parking and spacious rooms. On the negative side the restaurant is closed, the bar had limited food options, the bedroom is dark and dingy and there is no breakfast option available. However, a big 'no-no' is the staffing who are a mixed bunch of disinterested youngsters, many of whom, are inexperienced overseas workers who have no obvious supervision. The loud 'boom-boom' music that emanated from the bar/kitchen area is clearly a choice of staff and may well explain the lack of a convivial atmosphere and almost empty public bar on the evening of our stay.

We had one night at the Clarence and thought it was wonderful. Being in the old Post Office, it has a lovely historical charm. The rooms have beautiful decor, very comfortable beds and luxurious linen. Our room was large and had great black out curtains. We had a drink the bar downstairs, which is a really nice spot. Excellent, friendly service. Also good to have free parking available. We are keen to return when we're in Tauranga.

We are regular guests at the Clarence hotel and it is always a great stay. The renovation of the old post office means the rooms, bar and restaurants have a unique ambience. It's great coming down the stairs to the buzzing bar with the friendliest bar staff, and now Simon Wright is head chef in the Bistro, it makes the restaurant experience very special too.

Great central location, as we had a function in town to attend. Loved the blend of character and modern. Very cool. Delighted to discover our bathroom had the shower in the old Post Office safe, very clever. A little noisy when the kitchen below was shutting down around 11pm.

Checked in here late after previous accommodation we booked was inhabitable. The staff here were amazing. Rooms beautiful. Bed was super comfortable. Had all the amenities you need. Gorgeous old building. Will definitely stay here again.
