 | Clarion Hotel Dublin, IFSC: Smart hotel away from noisy centre

We were transferred to this hotel at the last minute following a cock-up by the travel agent, but were definitely NOT disappointed. It's about 10 minutes walk from the bus station and Connolly Railway Station, and 15 mins from town, but no great hardship, and, in the lovely weather we enjoyed (in mid-December!) it was delightful to walk along the river. The hotel is fairly obviously aimed at the business customers who frequent the local financial area, but was perfectly acceptable for a long weekend. The service was very good indeed (including a personal visit to our room by the general manager to check everything was ok) and the hotel was well maintained and beautifully decorated. I definitely agree with other VT's that the breakfast is very expensive (20 Euro each) and much better, cheaper fare can be found outide the hotel. It is also very expensive for the leisure traveller, but there are lots of good weekend deals available at this hotel on the internet.
Ask for a room at the front of the hotel for a cracking view over the River Liffey to the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains. Pool and gym facilities are also excellent with a TV next to every piece of gym equipment to stop you getting bored! Our bedroom was a king/twin on the fourth floor, and was very nicely furnished and decorated. The bed is very comfortable with excellent quality bedlinen.

 Hotel Clarion Buiding by Ipanema_Princess
The hotel is recent and modern. Rooms are spacious and clean. Nice bathroom too. The whole was very confortable and I don't have any complaint. Only the tv didn't work, but I was too lazy to ask them to fix it up.
The staff at the reception is very helpful and polite. There is also a restaurant and a bar, that I didn't try.
The only bemol I would put is the location. Because if I come back to Dublin now, I would probably book an hotel on the South Bank, because that's where everything takes place. But still, we could join the major spots of attraction on a 15/20 mn walk. I didn't take a bus in 3 days ! And the location was very quiet, whereas some people in others hotels couldn't sleep at night because of the noise.
The Health Center in the basement with : heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym... really great and free for the clients of the hotel.

This hotel is opposite the River Liffey and if you are lucky to get a room that overlooks the River, the view is amazing. I was lucky enough to have such a room so ventured out onto the balcony to take it all in - though I did have an early morning flight into Dublin airport and did have to leave with bags whilst our rooms were made up (cant complain as I got to do a little sightseeing, a little shopping and lot of Guiness tasting).
The hotel offers complimentary access to the hotel’s health club, where a 15-person sauna, steam room, and spa tub are located next to a 31-meter (68-foot) lap pool. Its gym has free weights, 60 cardio machines, and 20 resistance machines. Aerobics and yoga classes are available (surcharge), and women’s and men’s changing rooms have lockers, showers, and hairdryers.
The hotel also has two restaurants; Sinergie and Kudos. I can recommend Kudos as the food was lovely - I had the duck and the yaki soba was also lovely.
