観光、美術鑑賞、ショッピング、パブ巡り拠点
Pros:

空港からのバス乗降場所の近くで、デイツアーの観光バスなどもその周辺で乗り降りなのでとても便利。ホテル入り口はシックで素敵で、隣の併設のパブは賑やかで楽しかった。近くには飲食店もショップも沢山あり、楽しく過ごせた。
徒歩で行ける範囲に色々観光施設などもあり、周辺だけでも十分楽しめると思う。滞在中、一日はモハーの断崖へのデイツアーに行ったが、普段はもっと近くにツアーバスの乗り場があるらしいが、交通規制なのか少し離れた場所になりましたが、どっちにしろホテルから数分程度歩くだけなので早朝発でも余裕をもって出られます。ホテルの並びにあったIrish Potato Cake Companyというカフェもとても可愛くて素敵でした。

Cons:

ホテルの前は川沿いだけど、交通量の多い道路なので朝に散歩とかジョギングする時は道を選んだ方がいいかも

A Perfect Choice for Our 30th Anniversary
Pros:

A Perfect Choice for Our 30th Anniversary

The Arlington Hotel may not be The Ritz or The Carlyle, but what it offers is something luxury alone cannot buy: a team that genuinely cares and gives 200% to ensure guests have the best possible experience.

From arrival to departure, every staff member was friendly, helpful, positive, and welcoming. The front desk team assisted with every request, big or small, while the breakfast team and head service personnel were truly exceptional—attentive, hardworking, and consistently warm.

What stood out most was the beautiful blending of cultures among the staff. As international travelers, we found this especially heartwarming and refreshing. Everyone worked seamlessly to create an atmosphere where guests felt valued and cared for.

The Celtic Nights experience was a highlight—wonderful performances, beautiful music and dancing, fascinating cultural insights, and delicious food. We also loved the authentic Irish music throughout the bar and restaurant. The lively atmosphere, along with full FIFA World Cup coverage, made our stay even more enjoyable.

For our 30th anniversary, we could not have chosen better. Great location, wonderful atmosphere, and truly special people.

Thank you, Arlington team, for making our celebration so memorable.

Pros:

The location was perfect. Close to Temple Bar area but far enough away so you don't have the crazy crowds and noise. And very close to O'Connell Street with all of its history.

Cons:

The rooms were rather dated but the bed was comfortable.
