Take advantage of free add-ons, like rides on the hotel’s retro cruiser bikes. While not ideal for city centre, they make for a fun ride through the neighbourhood.

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."

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
