Exceptional location, beds are 10/10!

A beautiful hotel in an exceptional location. The room was very fitted out. Incredibly comfortable bed and the service was impeccable.
Didn’t stop for a drink in the bar but it is beautiful. The adjoining coffee shop has great coffee.
It’s not a cheap hotel but it is worth the $$ if you are looking for a great spot, a little bit of luxury and a comfy bed.
No aircon though so might get a little hot in summer. The room came with a fan which we had to use in the middle of the night as it was a bit stuffy

Hi 992louiseh,
Thank you very much indeed for the 10-star review! I'm happy to hear that you had a great stay, and that the service we provided lived up to your expectations. We are in the process of renovating the hotel so A/C will be a thing in The Clarence very soon.
Really looking forward to your next visit.
Kind regards,

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.

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.

I'm afraid it's not worth the money!

Good location, nice lobby and bar, very friendly reception - but that was it... Bed almost bigger than room, room overlooking river not noisy, bathroom old. No breakfast, for which was and 50 euros refunded. Still, it's not worth all that money. So no recommendation!

Terrible experience!

Terrible experience. Hotel is in need in some TLC. Clearly no investment in years. Neither of the TVs in the 2 rooms worked and when reported we were presented with a business card and told to contact the front office manager as that was the protocol they had been told. If that was not bad enough , leak started in bathroom with water gushing out of light fitting . Fused light. Contacted reception who came to take a look but it is evident from staining on light it is a repeat issue. No other rooms to move to so sorry!!!!
