The Clarence made our first time in Dublin fantastic. Centrally located to most of the city’s attractions, the hotel is also next door to a lovely coffee shop called Hyper Goat. The staff was really sweet and very accommodating. Yes, the club downstairs can be a little much for some but we weren’t bothered by it at all. Definitely want to stay here again.

Lovely hotel, very central so easy to walk everywhere. Very nice cocktail bar.

While the hotel lobby and rooms are very nice, the rooms were quite warm, where we thought there was a heater on, despite the outside temp being on the cooler side. A fan was provided but could not keep the windows open at night due to the loud noise and music from the surrounding bars.

Excellent location in Temple Bar with easy access across river. Airport transit line is a few steps away.

Great location. Very friendly staff. Clean.
3.0
For the price I expected a little more amenities and a more upgraded property. No air conditioning. The room was stifling hot when we arrived. The windows were old and only partially opened allowing small air flow into the room. It is noisy but to be expected in that location. Great location and easy to walk to various bars pubs restaurants. Rooms were clean, pillows felt old and hard, and the mattress also felt well used and old.

Lovely hotel! The lobby & bar are gorgeous. Staff were great. The shower in our room leaked a lot, which is our only complaint. Otherwise, it was great!

5.0
The location of this hotel is very convenient for being on the Dublin Express and also near the train station. The place has some charm and style, if a little noisy from the roads on both sides. Still worth a stop.
2.0
Hotel was clean and tidy, and a high standard. The heat inside the room was unbearable and couldnt sleep, the expected noise outside (location) meant the window couldn't be opened to allow any airflow,

Nic boutique hotel. Many food and beverage option. No longer owned by U2 but apparent care has been given to small renovations by new owners. Nice hotel though book direct and save some cash.

LOUD at night … all night. Know this! Make it a choice and the place is wonderful, but if you are in need of rest, go elsewhere and come back to visit!!!

Great place. A little warm at times
5.0
Elegant, comfortable, and fun! The hotel has a fun vibe with staff that is friendly and professional. Bar and lobby was fun to visit and meet other visitors! My only wish is that there was roof top access for all visitors.
5.0
The Clarence was really cool. Great decor, I never heard another guest unless we were in the hallway, very comfortable.
5.0
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.
5.0
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.
5.0
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!
