Octagon Bar in Dublin

Our room overlooked the pantheon square. It was truly amazing. Great location for walking, touring, watch out for car traffic, if 1st time visitor.

Great location, beautiful building. The rooms are oil heated (radiator) with no controls in the room. We had to call to the front desk every 3 hr to have the heat turned off, otherwise the room was a sauna and the heat kept getting turned back on. According to the web page, the room was recently renovated. It looked worn. The stone desk was cracked and visibly supported by the fridge in the middle. Not bad but I expected more. Access to the Temple Bar area is fantastic, close to the park and many restaurants. Location and general vibe around the lobby was great. Staff is friendly and attentive. I doubt there was much they could do about the heat in the room.

This hotel is beautifully decorated, the staff are genuinely friendly, and the spaces are impeccably clean. However, a note for those who struggle to sleep when overheated: the temperature is centrally controlled by the hotel, likely on a timer. Our room would get warm, prompting us to call the front desk to have the heat turned off, which they politely accommodated. The room would cool down (helped by opening the window, even in December), but after a few hours, the cycle would repeat. Aside from this issue, everything else about our stay was excellent.

Great location in front of Temple bar area. Restaurant and bar onsite. Large rooms. Just very hot because we didn’t know how to work the radiator, however opening the windows helped. Courteous front desk. Plenty of counter space in bathroom. Tub didn’t drain well but good water pressure of shower.

Fabulous place to stay, room was so clean and comfy. With a lovely spacious bathroom.Staff goes above and beyond. Ross and all the young men on staff that evening made our stay so special. Parking is so handy for a city hotel with a discounted rate for stay at the clarence. Plenty of lively entertainment just around corner. Would def recommend for a short break away.

Fun fact: owned by Bono. Excellent location for everything, sights, tours, Guinness, shopping, etc. Can be noisy because it's located in Temple Bar district.
