Great stay, don't use card to pay security deposit
Only 5-6 min walk from Jervis carpark. EXTREMELY handy to Temple Bar. Ate at nearby Tomahawk - delicious steak and sides! Check-in was lovely - great staff. Room had balcony - nice view. Lovely gesture for hubby's birthday - greetings note and free glass of prosecco each. Hotel is lovely. Late check-out at no extra cost. Only fault - had to pay 50 Euro safety deposit. Was assured at check-out it would be repaid within a few days (!) HOWEVER, I noticed on my bank statement that, due to currency exchange between sterling and Euro I did in fact pay £42.77 and only received £40.23 when it was refunded 3 days later. Whilst it's only under £3, the principle of the matter is there. Had I known I was going to lose money, I would have paid 50 Euro cash instead.

No problem with cleanliness BUT we had no control over the heating - first night room too hot - we didn't mention this but the other two nights we had to go and ask for them to put the heating on in the room - and that is at the end of December

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.
