Great location, fantastic staff, lovely rooms. Only downside was the air-conditioning in the room didn't work, but they'd already put one of the large tower fans in, which did a great job in keeping the room cool.

Lovely hotel & staff. Quick walk from alot of major pubs etc. Rooms were a great size, with a big comfy bed. You might want to pack earplugs if you are there on the weekend & happen to be a light sleeper.

I LOVED The Clarence! Perfectly located near the Temple Bar area, you can walk to all the major sights in Dublin and have a fab time in the evenings at the endless number of pubs and restaurants in the area. My room was totally comfy with maybe the best shower water pressure I've ever had. The lobby bar is wonderful and reasonable and the staff anticipates your every need. Next time, I'll definitely stay more than one night!

A good location and nice looking hotel. I would highly recommend trying the second bar as the ambience was great in there. Staff were friendly and public areas all clean. My room was spacious but a little tatty in some places. The most frustrating thing is the black out blinds and curtains as there are still gaps letting the light in. My room overlooked an office so when in the room during the day you felt as if you were in a fishtank being watched. I would stay here again but hope to get a better rate next time.

I’m shocked that this place has such great reviews. The only plus about this place is that it’s in a great location and the staff was nice. The bathroom was filthy when we arrived. Dusty floor, and even sticky in some areas. The shower does not drain properly and you are standing in a foot of tub water while trying to get clean. There’s also no hotel room keys, but regular key and locks to enter each room and is difficult to unlock. They lock the front entrance at night so you have to hope that someone inside is paying attention to let you even in the building.

I’d stayed here ten years previously in a standard room and really enjoyed it: going again all these years later I thought I would spend a bit more money and try a ‘deluxe’ room but what was offered was more like a cupboard with a view of a brick wall: I went down to reception and told them I wasn’t happy and the first room they offered me, they told me it was behind a pub and would be really noisy, I was finally offered a room at the back of the hotel that I accepted (I was told it would cost even more money for something on the other side of the hotel) which was ok apart from the drunken shouting I could hear every night at one in the morning, could also hear a lot of noise from people having parties in other rooms. Was impressed the first time but will look elsewhere next time I go to Dublin
