Great specials, cocktails @ €7 each day from 5-8pm in Octagon Bar. The Tea Room lunch/brunch specials @ €9.95.. -
Free WIFI throughout the hotel
-
Glad The Octagon Bar is still a good place for cocktails on a Sunday afternoon. -
Hotel rooms going cheap all over Dublin. The Clarence is no exception right now. Try to avoid the ones overlooking East Essex Street and the Purty Kitchen if you want some sleep. -
If you really want to have a private conversation, just take over the snug between the Octagon Bar and the cozy Essex Street room. -
