Advantages: Lap of luxury. Liable to bump into a "star" Disadvantages: Can be noisy
This is a very old, established Dublin hotel which had become a bit run down and frayed around the edges over the years, but that has now all changed.
The reason. Very simply, it was bought by Bono and the Edge from the band U2 a couple of years back, stripped from top to bottom, gutted, a total fortune spent on it, and turned into one of the Premier hotels in the capital.
Everything about this hotel is class. From the staff, to the bars, the restaurant, and of course the guest accommodation. It has taken over from ?The Shelbourne? as the stopping over spot for the stars and the rich and famous when visiting Dublin.
And visit they do. As a taxi-driver in the ?Fair City?, I have picked up many a famous face from this establishment.
Be careful if they try to put you in a room at the back of the hotel. It is here in Temple Bar ...
Advantages: Classy & great service and location Disadvantages: Expensive and very traditional
I stayed in the Clarence hotel in October 2005 and was pleasantly surprised by the stay i had. The loaction was great, right in the centre of Dublin but you were able to escape the hustle and bustle of the city by just walking through the door. I found the staff and service great and the quality of the food and rooms high. However on the downside the hotel was pricey and to some may be a bit too traditional for them.
The breakfast was the highlight of my day with a great choice of traditional irish or continental variants. Lunch had several different styles including buffet and the dinner menu would have stood up against any high quality restaurent in the city.
All in all I had a very memorable stay and would stay there again. ...
Advantages: Very Well Humoured, good story line and events Disadvantages: -
i had rather a lucky experience with this item, i never about this DVD until i was unwrapping my christmas gifts in the winter of 2006 i opening it in rather pesamistic fashion because it was not an item i had requested, but being a large fan of the late ronnie barker i knew that it could not be anything less than perfect and i wasnt let down, i didnt know of this work by ronnie barker until that morning in december when i was presented with it, but i wish i had because it would have been an item i had requested, after watching this DVD i was thoughrly stunned by his performance and it being his last work before he retired in 1988, as commonly put "he went out with a bang" because this piece of wrk showed that after more than 25 years in the buisness he had definatly not lost his touch.
in clarence we see a Very shortsighted old man ...
