The rooms were clean, and the bed was perfect. We had a balcony that you could sit on.

We got given the one room without double glazing (not sure why we got it!) - it was ridiculously noisy each night until about 4am!! But I only raised it at the end of our stay - I booked a room that showed it had the double glazing and when I looked at other rooms I noticed we were the only rooms without it!!! They promised to sort it next time we stay. Not sure about that!!

Loved my stay at The Clarence. I had a nice room with a view on the river on my request. The staff is super friendly and nice. And I had a king size bed. And the location is amazing in the center close to temple bar district but just one minute away so we escape the noise. And I loved the nice lobby and bar to have a last drink and relax before bed after being busy tourism all day.
My room was just a bit small for the price but I guess it is Dublin everything is so expensive in this town.

It was better than nothing. It was comfortable and had a bathtub. I was canceled without notice from Private Room in Dublin on a Saturday night with a concert going on. Dublin was all booked, so I got an email saying I could stay in the Clarence. The price was obscene but it was that or staying on the street. The good thing was the location.
Not worth the money.

The location was fabulous. We were also given an upgrade to a room with a terrace. Unfortunately the terrace and outdoor furniture was covered in pigeon droppings so we were not able to use it.
The bathroom was shabby and not very clean. We also had an incident where another person managed to be trapped on our terrace after going through a fire door and tried to get into our room at 130 am. It was pretty scary but no-one from the staff followed up with us the following day other than when we asked to tell us it was another guest.
