Frommer's "Fashion fans will have no trouble pegging the design of this trendy hotel as the work of the uber-cool John Rocha." Full review
Concierge "While some hotels would sit back and bask in the glory of their success, this is the kind of place that prefers to keep one step ahead of the crowd."
Insight Guides "With its contemporary styling, the Morrison vies with the Clarence for the title of most media-hip hotel in town."
Time Out "The comfortable rooms plead to be enjoyed, with Egyptian-cotton bed linen and the sheer decadence of Portuguese limestone in the bathrooms." Full review

"The riverfront location in central Dublin is superb, with most of the city center within walking distance. Rooms also have an uber-modern aesthetic." Full review
Star Service "This is one of Dublin's newest, and only, hip design hotels, and the Doubletree tradition of warm cookies at check-in is an added perk." Full review

"Now operated by Hilton Doubletree, you won't sleep in more luxurious surroundings anywhere on the north side." Full review

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
