The Clarence

It was great Dublin is stunning the location is everything an some you cant go wrong

We were a little upset at first upon seeing that the hotel was undergoing renovations, and that we were not told in advance. That being said, the staff was great and gave us an upgraded room that was comfortable and quiet. Location was also just right.

Great hotel. Bit rustic, but true to the Dublin style. Bed was comfortable, good shower, and almost 100% silent. (Still downtown Dublin/temple bar area).

Unfortunately our stay was quite unpleasant. Although this seems to be a fine hotel, it was under heavy construction during our stay, which made it miserable. There was no warning or discount offered because of this and honestly the hotel should have not been taking bookings at all. If I were doing a complete demolition on my home I would not have guests come stay with me, and certainly not invite them and not tell them at all.

The staff at this hotel are absolutely brilliant - very charming and pleasant to deal with. We got an upgrade to a balcony room - has never happened to us before and we were delighted! Very good location for us as attending a show at the Olympia Theatre. Very close to Temple Bar as well. Definitely recommend this hotel.
