A friend & I have been looking foward to staying at The Clarence for a long time. We loved the hotel itself, the bar area, and the restaurant. The staff were really welcoming, friendly and helpful. I personally was a little disappointed with the room, whilst overall lovely decor, this room clearly needed a little TLC. The hotel is not at the cheaper end of the market, so I didn't expect damp in the bathroom or a rusty radiator. Also, there was a large stain on the carpet. Whilst not huge issues for what we paid, I personally would not expect to see this from a 4 star hotel. We are staying again next year however, as I explained the majority of the hotel was lovely and in a great location. See you in 2025.

Fantastic for 1st time Dublin visitors!
The Clarence made our first time in Dublin fantastic. Centrally located to most of the city’s attractions, the hotel is also next door to a lovely coffee shop called Hyper Goat. The staff was really sweet and very accommodating. Yes, the club downstairs can be a little much for some but we weren’t bothered by it at all. Definitely want to stay here again.
