Fantastic for 1st time Dublin visitors!
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.

Ok stay but should have been better for the price
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.

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!

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.

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,
