Great location. Great staff.
Pros:

Arlington Hotel location was perfect. Just right off of the O'Connell Bridge in Central Dublin. Close to lots of transportation options, and walking to shops and food. The bar/restaurant on the main floor hosts many sporting watch events. Very lively crowds. The rooms are good size, not small European boutique style. Very clean. Service is wonderful. Both the front desk and house keeping staff go out of their way to help you.

Cons:

Value is subjective. The location makes the price higher than most, but this was one of the only available places during my stay in the summer during busy sporting events. I would definitely stay again, though. But might chose a different season when prices are more reasonable.

Tired the next day
Pros:

The location was okay near Temple Bar.

Cons:

The hotel bar is extremely loud. Even on a Sunday night, the music was blaring until 1:00 a.m. The hotel staff told us they had placed us in the quietest room on the fourth floor, but it was still far too noisy to sleep.

We asked if there were any quieter rooms available and what time the music would finish. We were told it would stop at 1:00 a.m. and that someone would call us back about moving rooms, but we never received a call.

The atmosphere was also incredibly antisocial, with football celebrations continuing late into the night, including people loudly banging drums. If you’re looking for a peaceful stay or a good night’s sleep, I would avoid staying here.

Jó helyen egy lepukkanó szállás.
Cons:

Nem volt a szobában légkondi. Nem volt a szobában normális csap, két külön csap volt, egymástól 30 cm-re, hideg és meleg. A zuhanyzó egy kád volt, a víznyomás kiváló, de a vízhőmérsékletet nem lehetett normálisan állítani. A reggeli hétköznap 7-10-ig van, hétvégén egy fél órával később, de ezt a recepción senki sem jelezte nekünk. 732-kor még nem voltak készen szombaton a reggeli előkészítésével. A pincérek nem előzékenyek, mindenki csak a saját feladatára fókuszál, mintha betanított munkás lenne.

Nice localtion with noisy rooms
Pros:

I have mixed feelings about the hotel. The rooms are comfortable, however, the music in the bar is terribly loud. There is no air conditioning in the rooms, so even on cooler days, it gets very hot inside. On top of that, my room overlooked the inner courtyard, where the noise from the air handling unit made it impossible to sleep, even with the windows closed. I would have originally given a lower rating, but a lovely receptionist named Anastassia was able to move me the next day to another room. This one also faced the inner courtyard, but the noise from the air handlers was much quieter, so I was finally able to get some sleep.

The food is good in Hotel, but the room is below average
Pros:

It is well located in the city centre

Cons:

The double bed is up against the wall, which means you have to get out over your partner to go to the toilet during the night and it was fairly noisy outside the room which meant it was hard to sleep at times

Terribile per il caldo eccessivo, meno male che la colazione ha tirato su il punteggio
Pros:

La signora che gestisce la colazione è stata davvero splendida, professionale, accogliente e molto gentile

Cons:

Al 4 piano assolutamente troppo caldo e invivibile, un piccolo ventilatore non serve a nulla con tutto il caldo che c’è. Oltretutto le finestre erano bloccate e non si potevano aprire.
Ho chiesto se si poteva cambiare stanza e mi hanno detto di no, è stata una notte orribile!
Solo per questo motivo non ci tornerò più!!! senza contare che la vasca del bagno era davvero vecchia e priva di doccino per l’acqua.
