The Clarence

From arrival to our leaving this was a great experience, we had a hire car from the airport and the team sorted out for us to stop directly out front to unload our bags and complete the check in process. After that we went to the recommended parking place, which had a discount. Upon our return we had a couple of cocktails and chat with the staff then a well earned rest in our amazing room with a view over the river. The Clarence has a so much history and charm as well as an elevator. Sadly we only had a one night stay but the next day late check out offer and the fantastic breakfast in the steakhouse was an amazing start to the day. The staff all were very friendly and made our stay a great experience as well as a memorable start to our Ireland trip. We had originally booked for 2020 but the pandemic put a hold on that and the team at the Clarence kept our booking for us until we got there in 2024. We highly recommend the Clarence for its location, ambiance and set up as well as the fantastic hospitality of all staff. We had a Crack with you all🙏

As I sit here tonight, sipping on a Redbreast 12, I cannot say enough GREAT things about this incredible boutique hotel in the “big city”. From our initial check in, to checking out, it is in my top visits of any hotel ever!! The amazing manager, assistant (who personally carried our bags to our room) and amazing bartender, I would recommend The Clarence Hotel, hands down! From recommendation of where to eat, shop and sites we throughly enjoyed the entire stay! We were treated like royalty and so appreciated the hospitality!! Will return to The Clarence Hotel when back on Dublin! ❤️😉 The Church for lunch and Lemon Jelly for breakfast- highly recommend (thanks The Clarence for a memorable trip) 💋

Hotel is so well done. Quality with a touch of lively-like the pink velvet headboard and nice sheets. Towels are thickest we had all vacation. Nespresso in the room. Welcoming lobby bar you could plop down in after a day of sight seeing or catch a martini whilst dressed for dinner. But the best part was the helpful reception team. They answered all our questions, called us taxis, made helpful suggestions of places to see and which trains to take. Always staffed, polite, good listeners. True Innkeepers.

Great location / great staff / bars in the hotel are excellent and their cocktails are just about perfect. Only critique is that the rooms (we stayed in a suite) are a bit tired and battered around the edges for the price. We would come back though - bit maybe not to a suite ..

I stayed in the Clarence with friends to attend a show. I had booked two rooms and I rang a few days before to make sure the rooms would be close together. On arrival at 2 pm only one of the rooms were ready but the other room would be ready at 3pm. We went off for a look around and came back at 3pm Just to be told the room now wouldn’t be ready til 4.15!!!!!!! I was so cross the young man who was assisting me said he needed to speak the housekeeping manager and could we wait a few moments. We were given a room. They said there was a mix up because I wanted the rooms together. It was MY fault they didn’t have the room ready!!! The rooms themselves were very basic. The tap in our bathroom had a constant drip. It’s clearly not well maintained. The rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable I can’t fault them on that. We had a mini bar but the prices were absolutely extortionate. In a time where the cost of living is at an all time high. This hotel needs to get their heads out of the clouds. There is a bakery and a centra nearby so you won’t be stuck for goodies. I don’t think I would stay here again I have stayed in 2 and 3 star hotels that are nicer. For the price we paid it was very disappointing.
