Our family really enjoyed our stay! The location is perfectly convenient to walk to everything we wanted to do while in Dublin… and easy access for transportation to our things to do outside the city center. We found the staff to be very available and accommodating, and our rooms were comfortable. We did miss having a refrigerator available in our room, but remember this is not a hotel, it is a guest house. We would absolutely stay here again!

Location was convenient, about 10-15 minutes walk to city center. If you have trouble with stairs do not stay here, no elevator. The rooms are very small, full size beds. The staff is nice.
Check in with smooth, staff was great and gave us helpful tips for the area

The bathroom was full of black mold and our room smelt terrible. very nosy and smoky even though it was a non-smoking hotel.
Not close to very many amenities.
The property itself is fine. Our room had clean linens and the beds were comfortable. The room and especially the bathroom are tight for space....but for the price and old buildings in an old city... this was half expected. The Staff were friendly and attentive. Only complaint of Hotel upkeep itself was the carpets looked extremely worn..in need of replacement basically.
This isn't a critique of Clifden Hotel right now....but more of Dublin in general. It's dirty. It has a homeless problem with litter and human "litter" ( if you get my hint) that comes with the homeless problem.
I guess they'll need to address these social issues....like most big cities nowadays.
Just sad to see what's happened over the past 20 years since I was last here.
Worst bed i have slept in parking on web site says available tried to message to confirm app failed. Tod nearest carpark was 15 mins away receptionist was les than helpful or considerate
This property does not have an elevator (lift) and has 3 floors (4 technically, the number the floors differently), so I suggest asking for a lower floor if you can’t do several flights of stairs daily. This property also do not have Air Conditioning. Otherwise, it was nice and simple.
The place was dated and a bit musty. The rooms in the basement are terrible and very musty. They really need to clean them up before renting.

The staff was great, but the room was not. It was clean but lacked amenities. It was very hot in the room and the fan provided barely moved the air. The bathroom was the tiniest bathroom I have ever been in with a sink so small brushing our teeth was a challenge. Also, our room was in the foyer and we were awakened at all hours of the night by loud chatter from guests and/or early morning staff. The area around the Clifden House left a lot to be desired. It was horrendously filthy. The price was comparable to a four-star hotel but was 2-star quality. Would not recommend.
Everything about our stay was perfect.
Staff went above and beyond to look after us; even giving us an early check in due to terrible flights.
The rooms were spacious and clean.
The location is excellent.
We would definitely recommend.
