Michelin Guide "Attractive riverside hotel... Stylish and well-run."
Concierge "Unforgivably at these rates, service can falter, veering madly from friendly-polite all the way down to rude."
Insight Guides "City-centre, riverside location, backing onto Temple Bar. The Art Deco interior has been lovingly restored by new owners (who include U2)."
Lonely Planet "A handsome boutique hotel designed to reflect the aesthetic of a 1930s gentlemen's club." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The hotel's owners include Bono and The Edge of the band U2. This Arts and Crafts hotel was restored by the singer and the guitarist and reopened in 1992." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With original wood-paneling in Arts and Crafts style, and luxuriously furnished rooms, this old establishment successfully combines contemporary cool and comfort."
Star Service "Across the river from The Morrison, this hotel is partly owned by rock-music impresarios Bono and The Edge, front men for U2." Full review

The Clarence is supposed to be a personal vision of the kind of hotel its owners would choose when visiting Dublin, and as such, it is besieged by music and noise, from Temple Bar partygoers in front of the hotel, to the late-night thumping of the Kitchen nightclub in the basement.
Fodor's "This renovated 1852 grand old hotel is the place to sample Temple Bar's nightlife, even if your pals are too busy rocking to hang." Full review

"The Clarence is an upscale 50-room boutique hotel set on the banks of the River Liffey in the center of Dublin." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"The Clarence occupies an imposing and historic building overlooking Dublin’s quays and River Liffey." Full review
