Recommend Polite and efficient staff. Great location for central Dublin. Comfortable, clean room with a luxurious feel - lots of solid wood and lovely fabrics. Lovely carpentry. Not much of a view but I want expecting one.
Would definitely use again.

Loved staying here. We stayed her on the first night of our honeymoon. They upgraded us to a suite. It was absolutely perfect. Breakfast the next morning was included and it was really delightful. Really nice place to spend the night, wish we had stayed longer.

Philip, Celbridge We weren't sure what to expect, but had a really lovely short break in this super boutique hotel. Very warm and engaging staff, nice comfortable room, lovely cool bar. We had dinner and breakfast and they were first class. Though short, the whole experience was great.

A quayside room with a view The hotel staff was lovely, the room was comfortable & the location was great for touring around the city. The bar & restaurant weren’t to our taste, but when in Temple Bar, there are plenty of choices within spitting distance, so found something quick :)

No more U2... Great spot. Easy check in. Upgraded to a balcony room. GREAT BED and pillows!!!! Best of our three week tour of the Emerald Island. Only stayed one night before our departure, but would certainly recommend for a longer stay. Great feel. Great service. Well appointed.

Stay at The Clarence was excellent Awesome location. Great and helpful staff and concierge.. Breakfast was really good although not included or better than other similarly priced places we stayed. Would stay here again. Can walk most anywhere or grab a tour bus right outside.
