Clarendon Suites

The apartment was clean. Everything worked. Full height glazed windows so plenty of light. Bed was comfy. Other things to consider but not necessarily negative. The penthouse is up 4 flights of stairs and there is no lift. The apartments are above a bar, so it can be noisy until after midnight. That said the location is great and everything is a minute or two walk. You really couldn’t be in a better location. And it is far enough away from Temple Bar to be a little more classy.

Beautiful apartments, newly renovated, super large double bed, comfortable,great location. Excellent value. Ensuite ... Beautiful. All in all a really enjoyable night. Would recommend all day. Excellent value for money. Again would recommend in a heartbeat.

Excellent accommodation. Very central but far enough away from Temple Bar to avoid the noise of partygoers late at night/ early hours and yet only a stones throw away so not too far a walk if that’s where you intend visiting. Very convenient for Grafton Street and only a 15 min walk to Henry Street or 10 mins to the dart station on Tara Street. I stayed over a weekend and had no issues with noise whatsoever despite fearing the worst based on other reviews that, had I read them first, would have deterred me from booking. I’m a very light sleeper/ borderline insomniac and whilst I heard a couple of voices at 4am this was nothing to do with the proprietors as the bar downstairs has closed several hours earlier. Were I not such a light sleeper I’m doubtful I’d have heard them at all. Temperatures reached approximately 26 degrees when I visited and the air con in the room dealt with this with ease. Indeed the lady who cleaned my room was kind enough to put it on so that it was nice and cool when I returned form a day of exploring the city. I had one minor teething problem on arrival when the code to the door wouldn’t work however, having phoned the number provided, someone was there in less than 30 seconds to help me. He kindly explained the issue was other guests not closing the door properly and from then on I had no issues as I simply pulled the door fully shut each time before entering the code (there were several occasions where other guests clearly hadn’t closed the door properly- no fault of the management they can’t help it if people can’t close a door). The room itself (number four) was accessed via two flights of stairs. Fine for me but mentioned in case this may be an issue for others considering booking. It was one of the king rooms and was sufficiently spacious and well equipped. Indeed.. it was better than some, much more expensive, hotels I’ve stayed at. There was a microwave and sink (in addition to the basin in the bathroom) together with supplies for two which included champagne glasses, cutlery, plates, tea and coffee, bottles of water, shampoo, conditioner and handwash. There was a small fridge but it wasn’t particularly cold, not that it was a problem for me as, whilst I am on a city break, I want to spend as little time as possible in a room and instead want to make the most of my surroundings. However, it may be an issue for tigers wanting to spend longer in their room or a wanting to cater for themselves. I’d been there less than 12 hours and room service was already there cleaning my room and replenishing supplies; what more could you ask for? I dined once at the bar downstairs and, despite a minor confusion as between the bar man and the lady taking food orders as to whether the kitchen was open past 9 on a Sunday, the food was good pub grub, tasty, cooked well with sizeable portions. My small portion of chicken fillets contained at least six large pieces that would easily have suited two as a sharing plate. Servi

Room King 4 Pro..The location is great, good size room with good comfortable king-size bed and smart decor. Good coffee machine and tea making facilities. A microwave. Con..there's no real fridge but a cool box which couldn't keep anything cool. -No heating so there's no heated towel rail or radiator. -There were no toiletries but several small tubes of shampoo and hairs conditioner. -There's no bath mat, we had to use one of the hand towels. -TV remote control wasn't working properly and not compatible with the TV. -The WiFi was temperamental. -There should be some washing up stuff because there's a sink and a microwave. -There's only one chair, so there's no place to sit and eat apart from the bed.

I overpaid for what they call a suite apt. But is nothing more that a room with a sink and a microfridge, one plate for two person and no sitting space whatsoever apart from the bed. Too bad it's a trap and once you sit, you won't be able to leave. Beware people with back problems. The room is publicised as having a microwave, but look, there is none. Since we chose that solution over cheaper ones because we wanted the microwave and kitchenette, we ended up having breakfast on the trap bed. When we complained, and I showed them proof their website is clearly selling something that is not true, they shrugged their shoulders, said there is nothing they could do and just offered me to use the microwave in the bar. Right, except if I wanted to use the microwave in the bar, I would have gone to a hostel. To me, this is unacceptable, and I would urge everyone to not gift these people with money they don't appreciate, because they won't value you.

My partner and I stayed in the "penthouse" for four days in September, 2022. We LOVED our room, the location, the bar/restaurant staff on the ground floor, and the easy check-in/check-out process. The suite was perfectly clean and very cute. We especially liked the view and all the flower boxes. We had plenty of interaction with the Bar Rue staff downstairs, and they — and the food and drink — were first rate. The only downside is the noise. And it's not from the bar, but from the surrounding area (lots of bars/shopping/eateries) — and at ALL hours (way past last call). The management did provide ear plugs, which worked to some extent. If you book this place and are bothered by noise, I would recommend bringing your own, high-quality ear plugs. While we were definitely bothered by the noise, we loved this place and its central location so much that we would book it again, and would recommend it to friends.
