We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The property was beautiful, with a charming and welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Our room was exactly what we wanted—comfortable, stylish, and well-equipped. The highlight for us was the little balcony, which offered a perfect view of Dublin. It was the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the city's skyline. The staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay even more special. For my boyfriend's birthday, they surprised us with complimentary glasses of Prosecco at the hotel bar, which was such a lovely gesture. The location was perfect for us as well, as we planned on spending most of our time in the Temple Bar area, and it was just a short walk away. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Dublin!

Nothing

Location excellent.Staff very accomodating and attentive.Loved cocktail bars. Clean comfortable room but not worthy of being called a suite.I changed booking from Gresham to Clarence as a treat for my mum.This was apparently an upgrade on arrival !!! Would book again but unfortunately would need to lower my expectations regarding rooms. Mum very pleased with it.So that's main thing😏

Despite being upgraded to suite ,which my mum was delighted with, size of room and tired decor let it down.Also cracked sink and tiles in bathroom. Not acceptable. I stayed here several years ago and the room and bathroom was phenomenal.Definitely worthy of suite title.This room was not.While downstairs was outstanding the quality and pricing of some rooms needs re assessed. Feel The Clarence has spent money on upgrading downstairs and rooms don't match this.

The room was beautiful and very spacious, gorgeous interior with a scalloped shaped headboard old fashioned accessories and an art deco feel. The location is right in the middle of city centre making everything easily accessible by foot. Fantastic lobby area that has a gorgeous pop of colour, trendy bar and smells divine with their choice of candles or diffusers they have chosen.

Everything was fantastic... maybe a mirror in the bedroom area but their was a full length one in the sitting room area and the bathroom so it was ok to meander in and out whilst getting ready, really only a minor observation.

Gorgeous decor and design throughout the hotel and room I was given. Really impressive staff at reception. Laid back, quietly efficient and good vibes. Large bed in room was fantastic and spacious room I was given with terrace overlooking Temple bar was a real surprise. Great coffee machine in room too. Loved the large antique bathroom sink and power shower. And the big oak doors have a reassuring close on outside corridor noise.

Small tv high on wall - maybe just that room as stayed in hotel in past and don’t remember that in other rooms - but not overly important as hardly watched it. Nothing hotel can do but temple bar venues can get noisy late on Thursday till 2am (midnight Wednesday) but the generous 12pm checkout compensates and is perfect. There was a generator noise from outside maybe from temporary works going on.

We got a rally agreeable price on this stay for two nights so it was worth the outlay to stay somewhere so nice and so welllocated. The room was lovely, clean and spacious with a nice bathroom and an amazing shower. The bar has a great atmosphere and plenty of space, there’s a. Cocktail bar attached and the dining experience is wonderful;. We had breakfast one of the mornings in a lovely, light room and we had our evening meal there too. I had a beautiful steak and my partner had a wonderful beef ragu. The location is great, there’s a cool bar with a comedy club next door and plenty of places to eat and drink within 5 minutes, the hotel is right on the water front and I’m a superb location. The staff are friendly and helpful and the location is amazing for a modern, luxurious but not fussy and obscenely expensive stay. Well worth a visit.

Overall the stay was amazing but there is no room based temperature control. I asked about turning off the heat and that helped but there was no adjustment on the radiator without tools. We opened the windows which also helped buton a Saturday night you can hear noise through the walls and the windows from the neighbouring bars and clubs.

The location was perfect, right in the center of everything but on the river. Staff was amazing and had two of our three rooms ready early! They were so nice and helped us get our car parked and off we went! The hotel is beautiful and rooms were perfect and clean! Bigger than most. We came back very late one night and the bar was closed but the man at the desk jumped behind the bar and made us drinks! He was wonderful. Could not ask for better.

Nothing could have been better! Hotel and staff were outstanding.

Perfectly located on the river and backing on to the lovely temple bar. Lobby has been renovated and is super chic. Drinks are fantastic. The reception staff is super friendly and cheerful. Stayed in one of the renovated deux rooms. Very crisp and modern design. I can see how this property would be too loud for some, however we were there to enjoy Dublin’s nightlife and this simply did not bother us.

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 !

Friendly staff, great location!

Very pricey, I was charged €50 deposit which wasn't mentioned until I got to the hotel. They told me it be refunded in full. The next morning they told me my €50 be refunded in full if we didn't use anything from the mini bar in our room! In which they should've explained at check in. Also we got food at the restaurant and the little size of the main course my brother ordered looked like a starter, my brother loves his food and it wouldn't fill a cat he asked for a bowl of chips to fill the gap! Very pricey for very little portions.

We had a wonderful stay at The Clarence. The decor lived up to expectations after seeing so many images, absolutely loved all the velvet in the room’s & reception. All of the staff were great! We had a couple of cocktails at the hotel which were great (lovely bar staff too) as well as the little coffee shop next door. All really great! We stayed mid-week so the bars/music around wasn’t a problem but can imagine it to be quite loud of a weekend (to be expected when staying so close to Temple Bar). Great location in terms of getting around the city. We were also able to check in early which was a bonus after such an early flight. A perfect stay over all!

Bars/music which would be loud of a weekend (we stayed mid-week so wasn’t an issue but can imagine it to be until early hours at the weekend). Does just come with the location though.
