Great staff! When you stay at a hotel, the experience is everything. The staff at The Clarence were absolutely brilliant! Friendly, helpful and always smiling. It makes a great difference. Try it and you won't be disappointed! Of course the location of the hotel is unbeatable, great breakfast spread and comfortable rooms.

Heart of Temple Bar. Walking distance to most attractions The staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. The Clarence is located on the fringe of Temple Bar area but still receives loud music during the weekend nights. River side rooms seems to be better noise wise. The rooms were very nice and of adequate size.

A fun place to stay. Location, location, location . This is an excellent home base around which you can wrap your Dublin experience. The staff are great, the rooms modern but the updates underway are overdue to washrooms. The lobby bar is eclectic, and popular for all demographics.
