Beautiful hotel in great location
Only negative to this hotel is the noise from the back street till 4 in the morning. Try to get room toward front of the hotel on the River Liffey side.
Traveller's tip on saving a few bucks
Take the air coach bus from the Dublin airport to the city (only 7 euros). For NFL football,go about 6 blocks North of the River Liffey to the Wool Shed to watch live NFL football on huge screens.

The Clarence is Lovely
The Clarence is in a perfect location with a perfect staff. Although owned by U2, it is a very quiet hotel. Reminded me of a Swiss hotel with its cleanliness and cozy comfort. The staff is wonderful. Rooms are beautiful, modern and comfortable.
Traveller's tip on local attractions
Stay in Temple Bar. You can walk everywhere to Grafton Street shopping, great restaurants and youre in the cultural center of Dublin.

Take some ear plugs
The staff in the Clarence could not be more helpful and the service was excellent. The hotel decor is simple and could do with a few touch ups in places. Our room was spacious and the bed very confortable. However, our roon was on the temple bar side of the hotel and had old fashioned single glazed windows. As a result we got very little sleep from the noise outside which continued until 6am. So if you want to sleep either take some ear plugs or insist on a room racing the river. It dampened what could have been a great experience.
