The location was perfect for us to explore the city. Great little coffee shop downstairs. Each floor required key card access so we felt very safe. The gate at night also required key card access but the front desk was always staffed. I can’t say enough good things about the staff and the accommodations. Definitely recommend

Awesome places to stay

Great location, super cool vibe. The best location to just tour around bar temple and all the sites like Trinity College, Jamison, distillery, Guinness, etc. Very walkable. And having a partitioned space with beds and living area was amazing. No complaints.

Outstanding stay here! We loved the location and convenient walk to everything Dublin has to offer. It felt like a small cozy apartment. Very clean, well equipped with kitchen needs, laundry machine and everything you need to know about the hotel right on the TV. They communicate well on What’s App. I love that. They answered any questions right away and even provided videos on how to’s! I HIGHLY recommend staying here!!!

We had two rooms, one was lovely and bright and the other was an odd-shape, smaller and much dingier than the other room. The rooms were the same category so should have been a similar standard.

Go somewhere else

We had initially booked a riverview toom, one of the more expensive options. When we got there it was not one of the rooms with in room laundry (silly us assumed the nicer of the rooms would have it). Went to the front desk and they said it would be a downgrade to get a room with it, but we took it. Went out saw the sights in dublin came back to go to sleep and staryed coughing to the point of throwing up. Could not use the air in the room at all the vents were black and hadnt been cleaned. My husband and i both got sick, but i had it worse throwing up and coughing all night. Couldnt get more than a quick nap in at a time. It was awful. I do not recommend this place.

Zanzibar Locke was perfect for our stay. Located just across the ha’penny bridge from the temple bar area and within walking distance to most tourist attractions and restaurants (within 1 mile). The staff was very friendly and informative and the hotel was clean and tidy. My wife and I stayed for 7 nights

From check in to checkout it was a lovely place to stay. As far as location for a Dublin trip, it does not get better for location with access to all sites within walking distance, yet, even while St Patrick Day festivities, was still secure and quiet! The breakfast cafe was convenient for a quick latte and pastry. The only reason this is not 5 star is the bed. It was in need of update since it had body divets on both sides of the queen bed and as a single, I found myself rolling into a hole throughout the night.
