The beds were really comfortable, and there was plenty of space in the room. Also liked the coffee and tea facilities. The hotel has a nice lobby, and both the bar and restaurant looked really good, although we didn't try them. Location was perfect for access to Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, and Trinity College.

Great location, very central - close to Temple Bar and great restaurants, shops etc. Hotel itself was nice, the lobby and bar were very stylish and our room had a lovely view of the Liffey. We also were very pleased with the free glass of prosecco!
Room was on the small side and the decor was dated, it didn't match the vibe of the lobby.

Great location, our room had view of river, nice amenities like kettle and mini bar. The staff were extraordinary. The lobby area has its own bar and super comfy seats, the Giddy bar (owned by hotel) is a great respite from all of the overcrowded bars in the area, good live music with lots of space. I’d definitely recommend!

Lovely hotel in a great location. The bars were great and so was the Irish girl that served us all weekend. Great hotel.
Bed a little small and view from room was pretty poor as was a backyard and fire escape.

Amazing location but hotel rooms were a bit outdated. Room view was of a brick wall instead of the lovely canal we were on and room needed a bit of an update. However downstairs bar and lobby were lovely and you were a stones thrown from temple bar. Lovely bakery next door for breakfast.

My son’s wedding was in the city centre, so we decided to stay in the Clarence Hotel for two nights. It was a great decision as the location and facilities were perfect for us. We loved the luxurious rooms and the bars and public areas. I was also happily surprised by how quiet the room was, given that we were beside the nightlife area of Dublin. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay right in the heart of the city.
