The Clarence  

Its location is ideal if its centre city thats required.

The noise was unbelieveably loud, we had approx 2 hours sleep. We closed the window and room over heated, no air conditioning, for a hotel of its rating and price, no tea/ coffee making facilaties. Tv was so small, why? We were informed it had been a 5 star and dropped to 4, doesnt even make a good 3 star. We complained about the noise and were told that it was a problem for them. To be charged so much money and deprived of all sleep on what we had planned as a special night away it so wrong, left us feeling really tired and angry. Also if bono and the edge insist on using their names to market the establishment, they would be well served to have some issues addressed. 25 euro car parking.

I am undecided. The staff were excellent (but you would expect that) and it was spotlessly clean (but you would expect that). Bed was comfortable and the size and quality of accommodation was to a high standard.

The fact it did not have kettle tea/coffee facilities in room unless specifically requested.When I booked the hotel I said I was travelling as a single mum with a 12 year old. The room was sandwiched between the night music and noise on the one side coming from Temple Bar as well as bar noise coming from the other side of the building. I am not a light sleep but the noise kept me awake until 4am both nights!! Fortunately, my daughter slept through it but I did not. For that reason I would recommend the hotel to young people who would be part of the noise and not trying to get a "good night sleep"

Breakfast in bed and dinner in the tea room restaurant were fabulous.

Friendly, helpful staff. Great restaurant and food.

Room was very 'beige' not too attractive. Very noisy traffic and people noise at night. Tea/coffee making facilities in room would have improved it.

Location. U-2. fireplaces. интересная атмосфера. горящие камины в чайной и баре. расположение. особые ощущения для поклонников u-2.

Condition. Furniture. Elevator.

The location was good and the room was very comfortable and clean

The heating was stuck permanently on sauna although there was a fan. Don't plan on getting much sleep as the noise from outside /downstairs went on until the very early hours. We ate in the tea rooms where the food was excellent but we did have an issue with the staff. It took them 35 minutes to take our order and we had to ask them twice and they seemed annoyed when we asked for anything. Overall I found The Clarence a real disappointment and would not recommend

Bad ventilation in the room, very dry.

Changed room due to bath being damaged. Second room was above function room with party going on til after 12. Hotel shabby in places, Room was tiny, poor value for money. No where close to dylan for boutique or merrion for luxury.

Location was great, room was large and well appointed.

There was no coffee maker in the room

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The roms were far too warm and the heating could not be controlled from the rooms. It is too noisy on the street below to leave a window open.

Small & friendly with very attentive staff both on the front desk & the breakfast restaurant.Breakfast was very good as was the service in the lounge etc. Location to both bars/restaurants & shops (Grafton Street) etc was very good. Everywhere was within walking distance and it is positioned by the river and with easy access to the many river bridges & tourist sites

Compared with certain other city centre hotels the Clarence is rather understated. It does not have certain extras such as bath robes and we had to request certain basics in the bathroom as it was only prepared for one person. It was functional rather than luxury in its overall feel but the rooms are of a good size and there is a lounge & lively bar. It is understated which some travellers will love whilst others may want more of a buzz from thier weekend break hotel.

Staff were very pleasant and helpful,very good breakfast and good breakfast room.vefy comfortable bed.

Adverts for this hotel should state quite clearly it backs on to temple bar nightlife area and unless you have a room away from this (I was moved after coplaining) you will not sleep until after 3 am nightly,

Location for city centre is good, with most things that you wnat to see and do within walking distance.

I felt room was a bit 'tired', thread bare carpet. I would have liked facility to make a cup of coffee. Although the location was good and I was only staying one night, the noise from the street was very intrusive even with window shut. While the man on the desk was very nice, the lady was very sombre and never seemed to speak! Very good hotel if you are just want a good base. This was my second stay, and I would consider it again.
