Lovely property and good value for money. It’s a lovely old building with nice features. No breakfast on site. Parking is at the back of the premises behind a big black gate. €10 for 24 hours parking. About 6 spaces but the area for parking is a little tight. If you are located on the top floor there’s a lot of stairs. Hair and body wash in one. Bathroom was Clean and the room was tidy Lovely staff

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.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
