The lift was broken and we were on the 4th floor. I had my 90 year old Mother in law with us with no way of getting her up to the room. The staff was not able to give us another room due to the hotel being fully booked. My daughter and son in law also had a room booked. Luckily they were only on the 2nd floor. If it wasn't for that, I don't know what we would have been able to do at that point.
Room was clean. Staff were welcoming. Was exactly what I needed for a central location. I walked all over the place from this spot. Didnât even use the transit pass I bought. If youâre fit and willing to walk 45-1hr in any direction you will see so much!
Great stay! Room was tiny and hot but updated and the staff was super nice. Good for one person and a short stay, and the area is amazing! So much to see and do. As others have mentioned, obviously there was noise given the area, but that should be expected. Lift still out of order, just something to note with luggage!
My stay at the Temple Bar Townhouse in late September 2025 was extremely disappointing. I was returning to Canada after 2 weeks walking the Camino Portuguese and I had to overnight in Dublin. I chose a reasonably priced hotel in the Temple Bar area so I could enjoy the activity in central Dublin. Of all my accommodations in Portugal and Spain over the previous 2 weeks, my stay at the Temple Bar Townhouses was most disappointing. The room was quite nice and the bathroom was very good; however, I found the staff to be challenging from the moment I walked into the hotel. I asked for a recommendation for a restaurant and the gentleman in the hotel immediately recommended an Irish pub just down the street. However, as I found out later, this pub was affiliated with the Temple Bar Townhouse and may not have been the best choice for an authentic Irish lunch. I would not stay at this hotel again. It was not a good experience.
