The staff here were so kind and even upgraded our rooms for free the night we stayed. Probably just Irish luck but it was so nice for the 6 of us in two rooms. Convenient and safe parking for being in the city of Dublin. Would highly recommend for those visiting! Be prepared for a bit of a walk though depending on the sites that you are seeing.

Room was okay besides the musty smell of the room. Also, it would have been nice if there were a sheet or another lighter comforter for the bed. It was cool outside, but the room was pretty warm & the comforter provided was just too hot. Other than that, people at the front desk were great, shower was good, room was clean overall.

It was a very nice stay, I arrived very late, the reception was open and I got the key very fast, the bed was a little bit too soft for me, everything else was fine!

I stayed in the single room for one night. Easy to check in/out, extremely comfortable room, lots of ammenities around. The only down fall was the room was insanely hot however the staff gave me an extra fan straight away. Would stay again for a day or 2.

Basically….in a ghetto.
Beds took up must of the space in the room. No room to move around. Had to carry our luggage up 4 flights of stairs.no elevator. Receptionist didn’t inform us of paid parking in front of hotel. Got $135 ticket and a wheel locked (boot). And the street looked unsafe especially at night.

Our room was not available at arrival even, I advised in advance. I didn't get bath towels, the room was very small and the bathroom was almost unusable due to the size. Very uncomfortable to shower in it. As a plus the bed was small (even we request large) but comfortable.

Hi Gabriella,Thank you for taking the time to review our property. Our check in time 2pm. I believe we did manage to check you in a little earlier however. We do our best to facilitate guests with earlier check in if rooms are available although this is not always possible. All our rooms are equipped with hand and bath towels. We have staff on duty 24 hours per day who would have been happy to supply extra towels on request. All of our beds are standard hotel size. We are sorry if this is not what you expected but are very glad you found it comfortable. I do hope you will make another booking with us in the future and I will be happy to personally assist with any requests you may have.

Staff were excellent, room was nice. Only constructive feedback is that laundry facilities are listed in the description but there are none in the hotel, and this was one of the first reasons I chose the place. Thankfully, there’s a dry cleaners close by that does a wash/dry for less than 10 euro. Would definitely stay again!

This will be the last time I book through Orbitz as this hovel was so small that I could touch both walls with outstretched arms, for which I paid a lot of money. The room was not only tiny, but stuffy as well and overlooked a busy street making an open window quite inconvenient.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Shannon at the front desk went out of her way to help me contact my upcoming accommodations at another property by phone when I was unable to reach them. She followed up and contacted me after I had checked out from Clifton house to make sure things were sorted out. Her assistance was greatly appreciated.

Disliked: Amenities
Pros: The staff were very nice and the room was very clean. Crisp sheets. The building is older and has a real cool vintage feel to it. Cons: Everyday cigarette smoke would come up our bathroom drains because we were close to the outside smoking area. The cleaning staff leave at 1PM so you have to be out of your rooms by noon or they don't get cleaned. They do not have laundry like the website says. Our bathroom was incredibly small. So small that you couldn't change your clothing in it in a shared room. There was very little storage for a quad room so we were living out of our suitcases which we did not have the room to do. All in all good for a short stay in a Quad room, but not great for a lengthy stay with four people. Just not enough room for four adults sadly. But nice area..

No elevators
There’s no elevator so make sure you have a small suitcase. We had a big one and we were all the way up, in what used to be called “ the maid room” under the roof. Which would have been fine but not for that price. The parking is on the street, 5 euros will get you 1.5 hours.

Clifden House staff are excellent. The hotel itself is older & quaint but could use some new windows as they were drafty and cold for September (curtains helped to block the draft). The hotel is in a safe neighborhood, clean, comfortable and within walking distance of restaurants, shopping and sites. With that said, we'd probably stay there again.
