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!

Great stay, don't use card to pay security deposit

Only 5-6 min walk from Jervis carpark. EXTREMELY handy to Temple Bar. Ate at nearby Tomahawk - delicious steak and sides! Check-in was lovely - great staff. Room had balcony - nice view. Lovely gesture for hubby's birthday - greetings note and free glass of prosecco each. Hotel is lovely. Late check-out at no extra cost. Only fault - had to pay 50 Euro safety deposit. Was assured at check-out it would be repaid within a few days (!) HOWEVER, I noticed on my bank statement that, due to currency exchange between sterling and Euro I did in fact pay £42.77 and only received £40.23 when it was refunded 3 days later. Whilst it's only under £3, the principle of the matter is there. Had I known I was going to lose money, I would have paid 50 Euro cash instead.

No problem with cleanliness BUT we had no control over the heating - first night room too hot - we didn't mention this but the other two nights we had to go and ask for them to put the heating on in the room - and that is at the end of December
