Cosy decor, extremely comfortable bed. Loved the big bath. We also loved how dark the room is. Nice staff, great vibe and great location.

I enjoyed my stay at The Old Clare. My partner and I were there for four nights and stayed in the Connell Room. The room was nice and spacious, loved the tall ceilings and the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever laid on. My only gripe for the room was it did smell a little musty, I attribute this to just the fact that the place is old, but it was very strong when coming back from being out for the day. Additionally I’m not the biggest fan of the toilet door just being glass and not having an actual closed door, it doesn’t really hide or muffle any bathroom sounds. The rooftop bar was fantastic and I really enjoyed the view. The breakfasts were quite good as well.

I'm surprised this is a 5* hotel. It's a nice spot, but not what I'm used to when I book 5*. I would describe it more as boutique. The hotel has everything you need- restaurant, bar, air con, rooftop pool. I will note it was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, wildly good sheets. Rooms all look a bit old and tired but had some charm. The breakfast wasn't great in comparison to usual hotel breakfasts but I liked the little touches like sweets in the lobby and the unusual decor. It's situated in a good area, next to some great vibey restaurants.
