Clarence Hotel Review

I love the “oldie worldly” look of the place. Had real keys for the doors and even a rotary dial phone. Multiple bars and a good restaurant. Staff was exceptional and the location was perfect. We’ll stay there again!

WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN.

Was there for 2 nights first in a very nice room. Kinda small, but nice. Travelled to Galway for 2 nights then back to The Clarence for 3 more nights. Was given a room with a terrace and that was a magnificent room. Would definitely recommend The Clarence. Also, in a great location.

10/10 Exceptional

First time visitor to Dublin and The Clarence was a great choice! Very central location with so much to see, right within walking distance. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and check-in was quick and easy. Room was very nice. Big, clean, modern. Smaller hotel, so each floor is quiet, with just a handful of rooms. Charming, funky lobby with a nice bar. I'll stay here again, for sure!
