My wife and I spent nearly two weeks in Ireland with friends and ended up staying in seven different hotels throughout or journey. The Clarence, by far, was our favorite of those hotels. We started and ended our Ireland journey with two nights at the Clarence and feel like we made the right choice. The service at the Clarence was... more

We arrived for the first night of our honeymoon and were treated to a bottle of champagne in our room. The suite was spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed the excellent restaurant in the hotel on one evening and spend our days touring from the very heart of Dublin, including the Guiness Factory! A most memorable stay in Dublin at... more

This hotel was a complete disappointment. I've stayed in nicer roadside motels. It was crazy overpriced and, as we booked on hotels.com, we no joke had to discuss this fact with 4 different staff on 5 different occasions because for some reason on the weekends they can't access these bookings and they didn't seem to believe that we had paid... more

We booked here because of the location and of course the fact that U2 supposedly owns the place. The room was shockingly small with a tiny TV but much worse was filthy with stained wood floors, stained carpet, dirty bathroom with pitted fixtures and this was the river balcony suite at 500 dollars a night (negotiated). A cheap bed on... more

Just back from a four night stay at the Clarence over the U2 Concert weekend. We had planned this trip back in March, and I booked a River Suite (the only room left on Hotels.com at the time) because we were going to attend two U2 concerts on Saturday 7/25 and Monday 7/27. I really wanted to stay in this... more

Stayed here as a birthday surprise a couple of years ago. Had visited Dublin on numerous occasions in the past and hoped I'd stay here one day. Not disappointed. The famous 'U2' hotel is beautifully presented, with great staff and an excellent location, a few yards from the fantastic Porterhouse. Had a room overlooking the Liffey and, despite the traffic... more

After walking past the Clarence each time I've been to Dublin, I made it a point that we were to stay there on our next visit to the city. Who wouldn't want to stay at a rockstar's hotel (Bono and Edge) in the heart of such a great city? My boyfriend and I had spent two weeks in Europe and... more

I checked into this gorgeous and cool hotel in the hippest section of town at 10 a.m. My room was not only ready but they had upgraded me because well I have no idea. I unpacked and went down for the most magical breakfast I have ever had. It was celebrity packed and everyone was so nice not just in... more
