What an amazing place!! Perfect Location in central Dublin and Temple Bar where you can walk to everything. The bed was super comfy and everything was just top from the softest sheets to the thickest bath towels. We chose a River view room and it could not be beat. Amazing restaurant and bar, we are already planning our return trip!

Excellent hotel, great location, fabulous walk in shower! Good bed, nice outdoor patio off bedroom! Clean, quiet and well kept. While staying modern and classy. Excellent staff, handy to all pubs, restaurants and cafes, plus shopping. Will be back!

We stayed in a deluxe room overlooking Temple Bar. The room was a refurbished one. The bed and pillows are so comfortable it’s like sleeping on a cloud. After reading other reviews I came prepared with our Loop earplugs, so the noise wasn’t an issue for us and didn’t keep us up. The Hotel is situated in a very busy area and the noise and vibrations from the music go on until the early hours of the night. The decor and style is great and we would stay again without hesitation.

Beware! They have loud music next door and in the basement. We stayed three nights and didn’t get to sleep until 3:00am every night. The room did not have windows except glass patio doors that opened out to a very dim 30 ft high courtyard. We had breakfast twice which was okay but wait staff brand new and needed more training. They said it was normal to have cold Hollandaise sauce. If you don’t mind staying up late you’re good.

I had the uncomfortable experience of having to visit the Clarence Main Bar/Reception area. I had been in the Clarence many many years ago when it was famously owned by U2. During that time, the cliente were very much business focused with many eager legal eagles from the four courts. I couldn't believe the massive change in circumstances. I found out from one of the staff that in December ownership had moved to the D Hotel Marker Hotel Group. But OMG how have the clientel changed, there were a group of 4 drug fuelled blocks sitting at the bar. It was obvious that the bar tender herself felt uncomfortable in their presence. However, they were served without hesitation and their choice of dress as far as I was concerned was not fitting with the standards of the Clarence of times past. Please don't allow a Hotel full of character fall into demise before it's too late.
