Pricey but for center Dublin, Templebar it is a good value. Very clean, helpful staff. More

I had booked this hotel as a special treat to star our holiday off in Dublin. I had book to have afternoon tea. Who would of thought it afternoon tea in the hotel that U2 own. How wrong could I be. We went in to find the hotel empty from customers and staff. Due to this we were advised to... More

Just back from Dublin.I booked the supposedly 5 star Clarence as a treat as I was running the Dublin marathon and my partner was supporting me. I paid the best part of £600 for three nights so was expecting something special.....how wrong can you be. We were given a small room in the middle of the hotel on the third... More

Very disappointing. I chose this hotel as a special treat and wished I had gone elsewhere. Firstly our room was at the back and it was possibly the noisiest night I ever encountered, I genuinely did not sleep one wink. Revellers until 3am.. then the bin men came clattering and banging at 4am. Then the drayman came with barrels and... More

Just back from a one night stay in the Clarence Hotel in Dublin. It was disappointing and definetely not 4 star.

The Temple Bar location is great, and it was easy to walk to all the major attractions. The hotel itself was slightly run down as... More

The noise from the revelers outside the hotel prompted us to cancel our stay and move hotels after one night. The restaurant was a diappointment and the Polish staff was inept. we... More

At the end of May, my beau Werner and I traveled to Berlin to spend 4 days over my Birthday week-end. Being huge U2 fans, we chose to stay at the Clarence. We had booked a suite, but when we arrived we were upgraded to a Penthouse Suite overlooking the Liffey River with a huge terrace, living room with fireplace... More

If you are going to stay in this hotel and expect to sleep then ask for a room that is not facing Temple bar I had the worst nights sleep ever it was after 5am and they could not move us to another room. For the money the hotel is a bit tired and the food was mediocre not bad... More
