10/10! Absolutely amazing stay. I had researched so many hotels for us to stay at in Dublin and ultimately chose Zanzibar Locke. I am so thankful we stayed here. It was so clean and beautiful. It was easy to walk to everywhere in Dublin. The staff went above and beyond. They were so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this to everyone!!

They quickly responded to a broken window issue and provided extra blankets and coffee. The shower was very nice! However, they don't have washcloths and the lighting was a bit dim. We would definitely recommend Zanzibar Locke.

This property lived up to its billing. It was clean, quiet, secure, and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly. We received complimentary coffees from the attached cafe at check-in. We arrived well ahead of the check-in time, and we were able to store our luggage until check-in so we could go out to explore the city. The towels and dishes in our room were high quality. I will point out that if you normally use washcloths, bring your own as they are not provided for you. Also, the beds have a fitted sheet and a comforter. If you are used to a top sheet for temperature regulation, bring your own. Our room was very quiet. We rarely heard any noise from outside the room. The shower water could be made very hot, so that was a plus. Overall, this was a very nice stay, and I highly recommend it.
