The Clarence, Dublin

Great traditionally appointed rooms

Breakfast

Location was excellent ie close to where we were going that night.

Lovely decor.

The kettle did not work.

I had to pay a E50 security deposit.

Great location, very central - close to Temple Bar and great restaurants, shops etc. Hotel itself was nice, the lobby and bar were very stylish and our room had a lovely view of the Liffey. We also were very pleased with the free glass of prosecco!

Room was on the small side and the decor was dated, it didn't match the vibe of the lobby.

Lovely hotel in a great location. The bars were great and so was the Irish girl that served us all weekend. Great hotel.

Bed a little small and view from room was pretty poor as was a backyard and fire escape.

My son’s wedding was in the city centre, so we decided to stay in the Clarence Hotel for two nights. It was a great decision as the location and facilities were perfect for us. We loved the luxurious rooms and the bars and public areas. I was also happily surprised by how quiet the room was, given that we were beside the nightlife area of Dublin. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay right in the heart of the city.

Gorgeous decor, really well located and great price. Had a bar cafe downstairs which was really nice - felt like a new york hotel in the 20s or 40s, loads of atmosphere and super clean.

Really nice room however it looks straight out onto the street and the bathroom only had a flimsy net on the window and no way to close the curtain/blind for privacy. Also, a net on the bedroom windows would have been handy so we can have the light coming in and no one able to see in. This was a big issue. There was building work in the next room which was really loud (started at 7:15am) and the room itself was noisy (next room and on the street - the windows didn't block much sound. Also I was asked for 100 euro deposit, even though they took the first nights cost 3 days before arrival - I wasn't told about this and really annoyed. Either the deposit or first night's payment in advance - not both with no warning. No humidifier in the bathroom, but couldn't open the window due to no privacy. Massive conference party going on which was also really noisy - a warning would have been appreciated, given we'd requested a quiet room. We were told we were upgraded to a superior double, but we had two twin beds (as requested, so was fine, but couldn't see what the upgrade was?!?).

Our rooms were really nice--more space than I expected. The decor was nice. We had little fridges and in-room coffee/tea maker. Big bathrooms.

Since you're on the edge of Temple Bar, it can be loud. I'm a light sleeper, and I noticed the music coming in from a nearby bar. But it didn't bother anyone else in my family.

Ambience.
Staff at reception were attentive, helpful and discreet.

Location, pubs, drunks at night, entrance from Essex Street not great.
Restaurant was a little pricey.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel with excellent staff!

Loved `The Clarence". Stunning historic building and splendid interior decor, great central location by the river.
The staff was absolutely amazing, so lovely and helpful! We got a free upgrade to a Deluxe room, which was a pleasant surprise.
Spacious room and thumping bathroom, very comfy bed. Best choice, highly recommended!

It was all fine !

N/A

Rooms are cold on first entry and take a while to heat up, & you have to contact reception to turn the heat on.

Spotless, comfortable Hotel with a cool vibe and great midweek rates. I had a 5th floor room away from the Quays and it was very quiet with a great view of the River Liffey! Excellent mattress and a very powerful shower. The staff were very attentive and friendly throughout my stay.

Location!

Beautiful reception and bar area. Really tasteful, retro style. Very pleasant helpful staff.

Our bathroom had bath and shower curtain (!) When you shower, the curtain touches your skin. We didn't like this, even though shower curtain white and very clean. Very surprised shower curtains not replaced by glass panels sitting on bath tubs.

Wry central
Close the the luas and don’t have to put key in to operate the elector liked the shower massive bed sofa fridge coffee machine

Room was noisy beside night club

Great location, really nice staff, lovely room. Tomahawke steak restaurant really good

The breakfast, it was cold and horrible

It’s homely. The staff are top class. Can’t do enough for you.

No issues

The reception staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough to help. Fantastic location with a great restaurant on site. Attention to detail in the room was excellent, with a lovely walk in shower with complementary toiletries.

The bartender in the lounge bar was super rude and unfriendly. Seemed to find his guests annoying and would rather be on his phone. Kind of spoiled the overall experience.

Relaxed but efficient

The on site restaurant had no atmosphere. The service was poor. The food was not stunning a limited menu.

The overall atmosphere, the breakfast room, the foyer, and quirkiness of the room, the fact that I could open my window and that it was not too warm. Some of the staff were absolutely lovely (very kind gentleman who helped with our cases and ordered us a taxi), others were a little cooler and less welcoming, but overall the welcome and staff were very good.

Could probably do a little more on energy saving in corridors etc

We had 2 rooms booked at this property. Rooms 508 and 506. 508 were perfect no problems, beautiful and comfortable. The location was perfect, the staff were extremely friendly.

506 however was unhygienic, my friends sent me pictures of dark hairs left in the bathtub in the room, which I have a photo of. We paid good money to stay in the hotel for the night and this was unacceptable and poor.

Lovely hotel, very comfortable

Breakfast wasn’t great, food not very hot and toast barely toasted
