The Clarence

Stayed in the 'Snug' room for a night. Very comfortable & exactly what I needed for a short stay. An impressively large shower for an otherwise compact room. There was a bit of a mixup regarding minibar fees but Pablo was extremely helpful in getting it resolved.

Our first stay at the Clarence. Something we'd wanted to do for a while. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms spacious and a delight. Amazing ambience throughout the hotel. The new owners had certainly made many changes. Lounge area very relaxing and drinks reasonably priced. Our room was spotless.

We are huge U2 fans, so this is 100% the reason we booked this hotel. We requested the Garden Suite, the "Beautiful Day" video terrace. While they couldn't originally guarantee it, they did their best and were able to accommodate us! It was a 50th Birthday and I loved the Birthday card with Prosecco vouchers in our room. It was busy with St Patricks Day - but the staff was very kind. It's perfectly located in Temple Bar, not too loud but great walking area and close walking distance to most things. I gave it a 4 vs 5 star for a few reasons - There are some signs of wear that could be addressed, the drainage isn't great in the sinks, the hand wand for the shower didn't work and there was a shower curtain that then stuck to you. We had dinner in Cleaver East and it was very unimpressive. I ordered one cocktail, something else was brought, let them know it wasn't what I ordered - and they tried to just tell me I was wrong. (French 75 in a champagne glass vs a Silver Pineapple in a totally different glass). It tasted good, so I didn't complain further but when I ordered a second drink - it came corrected.. Overall tho - the stay was great, the staff - particularly at check in the afternoon of March 16 was fantastic!!

We enjoyed our stay in a refurbished room. Little in-room details were thought of, like toiletries and the ‘Munchies’ shelf. Reception staff were super accommodating. Experience was let down only by a surly and shockingly rude bar man, who put a dampener in the overall experience. Everything else was lovely though and the decor is beautiful. Great location and noise wasn’t an issue.

Stayed here for the first time. Staff are absolutely lovely and so welcoming. Hotel interior is very modern. Rooms are spacious! For me three things were quite a let down 1. Bed was two twin beds pushed together so didn’t get a great night sleep 2. Shower only has half door so water absolutely flooded the bathroom 2. No fresh towels next morning even though we were staying for one night we didn’t think enough towels Overall a nice stay but would be hesitant to stay again
