The Clarence Bewertungen

Last time I stayed here ( about 6 years ago?) room was dirty so have not been back again until three weeks ago. Location is superb right at the edge of Temple bar along the River Liffey -downside its a party area so like most Hotels in this area dont plan to sleep until late as lots of noise from bars etc. Room was lovely with lots of nice touches -only big issues I had was in 12c Dublin coming from 32c Jakarta and central heating did not work-you have to call reception to get it switched on then it cuts off every hour and does not work again until you call reception-totally unacceptable for a 5 star Hotel . Ended calling them five times so not much sleep!! It was a Tuesday night so looked like one of the bars in the Hotel was shut-but lots outside anyhow. Did not have breakfast as last time I did was served-took ages and was cold-judging by recent reviews on tripadvisor looks like this still. Reception on check in and out would not win any prizes for their hospitality and were just ok-could learn from The Morrison across the river where I stayed a few nights earlier -genuine hospitality. Would I stay there again -NO -leave it to Bono and the locals -heat is a basic requirement as is hospitality-better Hotels for the same or less money to be had in Dublin City.

Great location, pleasant staff, and comfortable bed.

Perfect location. Hotel is simple and rustic. No AC (which is fine, it’s Ireland) but we had an interior window that faced the sunrise so it warmed up rather quickly. Thankful for the soundproof windows bc there was a hopping bar below us w thumping music well into the early morning. But again, with this, air flow became a challenge at night. Grateful for the door fan which was provided. Hotel staff were helpful and provided us w an adaptor promptly.

Good location and friendly staff. Busy part of the city but good access to food and bars
