“Disappointed with Condition”
+The location is the best feature. Unfortunately, I have to agree with other commenters that the Hotel shows wear and is not worth the cost. We originally booked a 2 bedroom suite for two nights but due to the lack of hospitality and condition of the hotel we only stayed for one night.

+I had a confirmed reservation booked on expedia. I was never informed of the hotel's temporary closure. I had to scramble at the last minute to find alternate lodging. I'm very disappointed in the lack of communication. This could have been incredibly awful had I not had access to the internet and was able to find another hotel option. I tried to leave this feedback on expedia too - their website does not provide an email address. Not cool.

“Cracking stay at The Clarence”
+This is our third stay in recent years at this stylish hotel. We were warmly welcomed on reception and indeed all the staff we interacted with were charming. We were upgraded to a suite, a fabulous corner room with amazing views of the city and Wicklow mountains. With doors opening onto a huge decking area with a table to seat 6, this really was a special room. The bed was enormous, a comfy seating area. The bathroom is very dated with a chipped bath and the dreaded shower curtain, functional however not what you would expect of a suite. The Curious Mister bar is a lovely place for a pre or post dinner tipple or indeed at any time. The foyer bar is fabulous too, a large space perfect for a coffee or a cocktail. We had an issue twice with our mini bar not being refilled. The dated bathroom and lack of mini bar refill is the reason we have knocked a star off. Fully appreciate that we were upgraded and for that we are grateful. We enjoyed our stay.

“Wonderful stay”
+We had a great time! The location was wonderful. The staff was superb. There was a heat wave while we were there so our room was very warm… I didn’t think to check, before booking, to see if it had a/c.

+Situated overlooking the river Liffey, close to Temple Bar but not affected by noise. Easy walk to Dublin Castle, O’Connell street, Temple Bar. There is a bar in the hotel but we didn’t use it. Staff were always on reception, checked on an hour early. Room was clean and well equipped. The bed was super king medium firm and comfy. The shower in the bathroom was powerful and easily adjustable temperature

+Air conditioning was not working. Breakfast costs were unclear and we were overcharged. Doors to the spa didn’t open until 9:00 and we were unaware that we needed to go outside and around to access the gym to workout so we were unable to workout in the mornings.

“Well worth the stay”
+Staff were great. Great reception area and bar. Ideally located for centre of dublin. Room was clean and spacious, with no complaints. If at the hotel bar, try the barmans Bloody Mary and the Secret sauce.
