Hotel Clementine♡

The great York coffee drought of 2026

8.0

We stay in York quite often and fancied a change from the chain hotels we usually use. Hotel Clementine is part of a small local group of businesses, but feels very much like an independent guesthouse with all the advantages and quirks that entails. We booked a standard room, which was absolutely fine for us as a couple (we actually like each other, which helps). The hotel has a funky, tongue-in-cheek, Georgian post-modern decor throughout, which is fun - and a bit (unintentionally?) Goth! The rooms were absolutely spotless and serviced every day - and there was a nice bit of garden around the back, which was welcome during the continuing heatwave. Breakfast was a bit variable for us. We had some very nice days during our stay, and my meat-eating partner enjoyed the full breakfasts. Poached eggs came out perfect on the days I ordered them. However, one day I ordered scrambled eggs, which didn't seem freshly prepared. In fact, they were more like mashed boiled/poached eggs. I mixed them with a bit of butter, and all was well. Our only real upset was over coffee. Because there was no coffee-maker in the room rate we chose, we really needed that first jolt of caffeine. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a policy of coffee rationing that became a daily battle of wills. Day one, we received two cups, one each, in a single pot. A cup holds about 150ml of liquid - 200ml tops. A mug is 330ml - so that's about what they gave us. A mug of coffee to *share*. We tried to circumvent this shadow regulation on day two by asking for two pots of coffee. We got some side-eye, and the pots that arrived had one cup of coffee in them *each*. On the following morning, we asked for additional coffee after we'd finished our ration, and our request was happily accepted. Plot twist: the coffee didn't arrive. Day four, an unsuspecting French couple arrived. When asked for their drink preference, the lady asked for "a double espresso". Oh, sweet summer child, I thought, as a veteran of the great York coffee drought of 2026. However, I must attest that upon that day, we asked for and did receive additional coffee. Hurrah! Would I recommend the Hotel Clementine? Yes, yes. But bring coffee bags.

The reception staff were helpful. They also gave suggestions on where to have dinner. Breakfast was very nice & the location was great.

− The room was tiny for 2 adults, 2 suitcases & a dog! The breakfast waitress brought our cooked breakfast straight after giving us our cereal. We asked her to bring it back later -when she did it was cold! Perhaps some training around this might be useful?
