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!

You get what you paid for and a bit more

Overall, a wonderful stay. Although my only window looked out into a service courtyard it was quiet and I knew that I’d booked a discounted room through Hotels.com and wasn’t going to have the most luxurious room. It was, nevertheless, quiet and comfortable and mostly clean – although there was a torn top of a snack bag on the rug from a previous occupant that should have been vacuumed up prior to my arrival. I was there three days and on the final day the toilet also began running for 5-10 minutes after flushing until its buttons were jiggled several times…but it did eventually work. It was also noticeable that the electrical sockets weren’t very tightly fixed to the wall and started to pull out when removing a plug or plug adapter. The hotel’s website did say that these “deluxe double rooms” hadn’t been fully updated and that may account for the discounted price through Hotels.com. Despite these observations, the location was great, the staff were wonderful, the bed was comfortable, the shower was great, and the vibe was good if not elegant.

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

Friendly, comfortable choice, great staff

City centre hotel, extremely friendly and helpful reception staff. Comfortable, spacious room, quite quiet despite facing one of the busy streets in Temple Bar. Great choice and I speak as a native Dubliner!

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!
