We had a great time! The location was wonderful. The staff was superb. There was a heat wave while we were there so our room was very warm… I didn’t think to check, before booking, to see if it had a/c.

Questions about The Clarence
What time is check-in and check-out at The Clarence?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Clarence allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does The Clarence have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Clarence have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Clarence?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
Where is The Clarence?
6-8 Wellington Quay, Dublin.
