The location of the property was perfect and it was a quality establishment. It's a great central location to explore Dublin. We can in on the red eye and showed up at 1030 am very tired. We were hoping they would keep.our luggage until the 4:00 check-in. They gave us our key and let us check-in on the spot. We were able to get a well needed nap in before heading out. Very accommodating. I would recommend for sure.

Walking distance to everything. Beautiful hotel, beautiful area, & an amazing staff, front desk manager, & general manager. Had a health issue arise & they went above & beyond to help my husband & me. I’ve never experienced so much caring, concern, comforting, & help that they all provided. I will never be able to repay them & will never forget them & the care & kindness they provided to complete strangers. You have to stay here. They are all truly amazing! Beautiful hotel with a beautiful staff.

We enjoyed the location. The hotel had an eclectic, old-style vibe, which we loved. The room was spacious and comfortable. The bar area in the coffee shop was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Great spot for walking the city and seeing the sights. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Bathroom shower needs repair. Front desk was made aware and thankful for the notice. Would definitely stay here again. We had a room with 2 separated rooms. Perfect for a traveling family.

Gorgeous hotel, great service and location. Expect some noise as you'll be right next to Temple Bar; however, the noise didn't disturb my sleep.

This is a three star hotel, while centrally located, the area is predictably loud. Interior is dated and in need of an update.

Hotel is a little dated. Keeping a key with large key ring is a hassle. My stay was short - hotel was ok - can’t say anything else really

The hotel is in an excellent location. The front desk staff are very friendly. The bed was comfortable. The pillows not so much. The hotel is old, I understand that part, but if they had more effort to clean better their bathrooms. It looks very dirty, even when it is not. They can do better on that.

The property was absolutely lovely and was within walking distance of almost everything. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the room was not soundproof as we could hear the parties going on late into the early morning, otherwise I would recommend to stay again.

Jose checked us in and gave us the rundown of Temple Bar with location and proximity to all of the local attractions. We were introduced to Ross, the bar manager, who was a wealth of info on Irish whiskeys and the local area. Our room was quite nice but backed onto the fans/ducting and an outdoor bar below so was noisy when the windows had to be open which was every time the shower was used. The front desk attendant the morning we checked out spent a great deal of time discussing Euro politics with others ahead of us while we WAITED pressed for time to get to the airport but I recommend staying here.
