The hotel was lovely! Staff were so welcoming. Room was comfortable and clean. Lobby bar was great. The hotel is steps away from the Dublin Express bus stop, making it such an easy transfer from the airport. Would stay here again anytime!

The property and room were amazing. Bars and restaurants are extremely close. There was a bit of outside noise in the rooms at night but nothing a radio/noise machine can’t eliminate. Overall great experience.

Perfect for a weekend in central Dublin. Staff in the hotel were fantastic & very helpful. A few bars to choose from onsite, the cocktails in the The Curious Mister were to die for. We also had an amazing Dinner in Tomahawk, a great place to dine if you love steak. We will stay again when visiting Dublin in the future.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
There was no air conditioning in the rooms and we found it very hot and uncomfortable. If we left the windows open, the rowdy noise from the streets and the bars in the Temple Bar area kept us away. The staff were nice, but they could do nothing about it. I woudl not recommend this place unless you came to party all night.

This beautiful hotel accommodated us very well. The lobby and hotel room were gorgeous and the location was perfect. The only thing is that we had many bad encounters with impatient staff who weren't very willing to help us. Other than this, it was a great experience in the hotel

First time visitor to Dublin and The Clarence was a great choice! Very central location with so much to see, right within walking distance. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and check-in was quick and easy. Room was very nice. Big, clean, modern. Smaller hotel, so each floor is quiet, with just a handful of rooms. Charming, funky lobby with a nice bar. I'll stay here again, for sure!
