Location I did not care for the condition of the room or the pompous attitude of the staff. The value to cost ratio is way out of line Overall the only good aspect of this hotel was the location the hotel had significant problems and areas of disappointment. First was the HAVC in the room. It didn't work. The staff informed us that it was shut down for construction and they were kind enough to offer a second table top fan (really). Perhaps this wouldnt be a big deal but with with the windows open be perpared to stay awake late listening to the drunks outside. The fitness center was also out of service. The room provided no coffee, kettle, or bathrobes, items I very much expect. The staff also tended to look at us as if we didn't belong in the hotel. I will admit my other half does look a bit rough around the edges but quite frankly he can get away with it and has a very high profile job and travels the world extensively. The shower was a nightmare...Location I did not care for the condition of the room or the pompous attitude of the staff.

The staff at the Clarence is nothing short of spectacular. The staff anticipates every need and goes far above what is expected. Having just come from a similar starred hotel in London, the difference in terms of quality was incredible. The location can be noisy at night due to the Temple Bar district and smokers outside local bars. We arrived at the Clarence from a similarly starred hotel in London. The difference was immediately made clear to us. This is a hotel staffed by people who anticipate the needs of their customers. Though we arrived 4 hours early, we were told exactly when our room would be ready (in 45 minutes). Such level of precision and customer service continued throughout our stay. The head staff showed us how to work our mobile phones abroad, was extremely informed about theatre offerings, arranged airport travel, loaned us an umbrella, and even printed all our boarding passes including for our connecting flight.

Incredible hotel but the staff really made it a top notch stay. The noise level from Temple bar is horribly loud, all night long. Take advantage of the hop on, hop off tour to see the city. Allow the staff to park your car & not worry about it while in Dublin. Enjoy the Octagon bar - it's legendary & makes an excellent cocktail.Incredible hotel but the staff really made it a top notch stay. The noise level from Temple bar is horribly loud, all night long.

"The hotel's owners include Bono and The Edge of the band U2. This Arts and Crafts hotel was restored by the singer and the guitarist and reopened in 1992. Insider Tip: For kids, there are stuffed animals and (non-alcoholic) cocktails on arrival, and milk and cookies at bedtime. Deluxe Balconies, for views of Temple Bar and the Dublin Mountains."

"Dublin’s coolest hotel is synonymous with its rock-star owners, Bono and the Edge, so it’s hardly surprising that they’re used to dealing with celebrity heavyweights. The 50-odd rooms aren’t short on contemporary style, but they lack that grandeur you would expect from a top hotel. The hotel was slated to get a megabucks makeover, but the economic downturn has put that on ice for the foreseeable future."
