Hotel The Clarence, Dublin

The room was far larger than we had expected. The location was great, even if it was late, we could find a place nearby to grab something to eat.

Location was superb, very easy to get to. Very close to bars and restaurants. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Couldn’t open the windows and the room was a little warm when we first arrived.

Great location, bus stop right outside door. 2 min walk to Temple Bar. Nice bar. Large rooms

Great first impression when walk in the hotel - unfortunately the bedrooms do not have the same feeling, very basic & no 'personality' Bathrooms need a very big update.

It was so conveniently located and the staff was great.

Loud club next down kept me up at night

Our room was enough for what we needed, average bed comfort. Our room have plenty of storage space. Location is great for getting around Temple Bar District and local sites. WE did not use the restaurant or bar services. Staff were kind and for the most part, helpful. The lounge area is well decorated and inviting. It was helpful having 24 hour staffing at the front desk.

The plumbing in the bathroom is hard to use. The sink nozzles had to be turned several times to have running water, making it hard to conserve water use. The toilet did not flush easily and had to be applied several times for regular flushing. Prices for the restaurant and bar were high, so we did not dine or drink within the facility. Heating was an issues on our last night. We needed to go to bed early for VERY early departing flights the next morning, the heat was turned on (controlled by the facility) making it feel extremely hot and unbearable in our room. We had to ask twice at 8pm and 11pm for someone to please turn down the heat. We did not get very much sleep making our early morning flights difficult. Also, when messaging the hotel about parking accommodations, we were referred to APCOA Jervis Street Car Park. I was under the impression this was a 24 hour car park. It is not. While it is partly our fault for not reading every single sign, 24 hours means 24 hours, it would have been helpful for the staff to inform us of the Car Park hours. We ran into an issue getting our rental car out before 8am the morning of our departing flights. It was an additional 50 EUR cash plus the full price for parking to get our car before 8am. The hotel told us we could validate our tickets and cap our parking fees at 15 to 19 EUR (I was told two different amounts) and because we left before 8am the Car Park could not validate our parking. We spent almost 85 EUR for a days worth of parking. That could have been avoided. Lastly, if your intentions are to sleep early and wake up very early, this is not the hotel or area to accomplish that. Every night there is loud music and parties well past 1am.

The location - the bar - the rooms

Would have been helpful to know that the restaurant was closed on Tuesdays in adavnce which was the day we stayed there.

Entrance lobby very well decorated, bright and inviting. Room was clean, comfortable and with all your needs met on arrival. Staff pleasant and helpful without being overbearing. Great location. We took the luas to Jervis and had a short walk over the Bridge to hotel.

Very close to temple bar

The staff are very friendly at check-in and KellyAnn in the bar was superb. Tje location is great, the bar & lobby are gorgeous. Bedrooms are a little dated but spotlessly clean.

The bath is mottled and needs replacing. The deposit system is unfair, they tske €50 per night out of your account straight awsy but it takes 3 or 4 working days for it to go back into your account, that's not right.

The room was big with a little balcony., which was a nice surprise.

The bathroom need an upgrade: old bathroom, very scratched floor and the windows had a bit of mould, needed a bit more care. Could have a blanquet for the morning when the AC is turned off (no control from your room).

Room very well presented with excellent fixtures and fittings and 'snug' in a good way ;)

Comfiest bed

Noisy at night but that's Temple bar

The location was great! Most of the staff were pleasant and polite and the room was a great size.

The air conditioning panel was t working in my room. The shower head wasn’t great.

The staff couldn't have been more helpful and went out of their way to make my stay exceptional.

Location was perfect.

No air conditioning.

Location was great for the 3 olympia, loved that there was a balcony, bed very comfortable , helpful staff

Couldnʼt turn on heating

Location excellent, very comfortable and reasonably priced

It was all fine

Amazing location

First night we couldn’t shower because the water wouldn’t get hot and was coming out with weird particles and a red ish color.

This is a Beautiful hotel with lovely decor. Excellent location and very comfortable bed. I loved the breakfast room and the breakfast was first class.

Tried to have a shower before going out in the evening but the water was cold and dirty brown water emptied into the basin. I reported it and was advised to wait for 15 mins - I waited for 30 mins but not fixed and unable to have a shower. It was fixed by next morning.

The place was very nice, the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly.

The only thing I didn't like was the price as I just think that's just a Dublin thing. No offence to the place at all. As it's the weekend of Patrick's day so it was not worth that price. But that's just Dublin altogether. But other than that I can't say anything bad about it

Rooms & Restaurant

Bar had just closed when we returned to hotel and barmaid wouldn't let us buy 1 drink, even to bring to our room

Great location to the center of dublin

Room a little too warm

Great central location, spacious room, able to check in early

Lovely friendly helpful staff.

Music from the pubs was very loud but to be expected with such a good location.

The room and bar

Even though I chose “Pay at property” on booking.com the hotel tried to take the money out 4 days before my stay and then took a €50 deposit when I got there and never informed me of this before. More information needs to be told before booking
