The Clarence

Luxury room

View from the room

Close to Temple Bar area with pubs and clubs

Not really a 5-star hotel but maybe a 4-star

the professionalism of the staff and the proximity to the city centre, bars, restaurants, shops and attractions

From the moment we arrived, the Staff were very welcoming and friendly. They were very knowledgeable about the local attractions and were able to make good reccomendations.

We were offered a room upgrade to "a river view room" which was lovely. (much better than looking out onto the back of another building). It was however a bit on the noisy side at night - it didn't disturb our sleep too much and is to be expected in a city like Dublin.

We only had 2 days in Dublin and it was in the center of everything....hop on/off bus tour, Temple Bar area (New Orleans!) Walk to Trinity, St. Patricks Cathedral, Dublin Castle, river, pubs, etc.

Second time to stay here is a superb Hotel all staff are helpful and friendly and room which was an upgraded to a suite was excellent overlooking the Liffey

The hotel is conveniently located for the main attractions in Dublin. The staff were particularly friendly.

The hotel was not 5 Star, the rooms small, no ironing or tea/coffee making facilities were available in the room. The rooms were small and the level of noise frome the street was high.

Welcoming and very accomodating, very clean

No tea/coffee facilities in rooms, as a 5* hotel and as I've stayed in hotels of the same rating I would have expected these to be in the room, very noisy outside hotel, disturbed sleep on both nights.

The staff are very polite and courteous.  The room was great.  There was nothing about this hotel I didn't like.

The staff were excellent and the room was lovely. We had a balcony overlooking the Temple Bar which was a really nice touch.

The hotel was perfectly placed (right near temple bar and the river and all the sights, but not where it's too noisy to sleep) and the staff gracious and helpful (if not overly!). Bed was large and comfortable, wonderful sheets. Ok bathroom, great view.

If I hadn't gotten such a good deal, I'd have felt ripped off. Of course it is a lovely hotel, but it's pretending to be a lot fancier than it is (staff even didn't believe us that we were staying there when we were returning one night).I Think th Bathroom was small and had dirty towels in it at first. Shade on window was broken. Still, lovely place, nice rooms, good staff--always ready to help

Comfort of the Bed

Not having computer access in one's room. Having to use the guest lounge was a little inconvenient
