Fantastic for 1st time Dublin visitors!
The Clarence made our first time in Dublin fantastic. Centrally located to most of the city’s attractions, the hotel is also next door to a lovely coffee shop called Hyper Goat. The staff was really sweet and very accommodating. Yes, the club downstairs can be a little much for some but we weren’t bothered by it at all. Definitely want to stay here again.

Ok stay but should have been better for the price
While the hotel lobby and rooms are very nice, the rooms were quite warm, where we thought there was a heater on, despite the outside temp being on the cooler side. A fan was provided but could not keep the windows open at night due to the loud noise and music from the surrounding bars.
