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.

WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN.

Was there for 2 nights first in a very nice room. Kinda small, but nice. Travelled to Galway for 2 nights then back to The Clarence for 3 more nights. Was given a room with a terrace and that was a magnificent room. Would definitely recommend The Clarence. Also, in a great location.

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.

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!

Clarence Hotel Review

I love the “oldie worldly” look of the place. Had real keys for the doors and even a rotary dial phone. Multiple bars and a good restaurant. Staff was exceptional and the location was perfect. We’ll stay there again!
