Great location.
Pros:

Decent stay in the hotel with a great central location. Check in friendly and no issues. Allowed us to check in a bit earlier which was nice. Slightly bigger room than a normal Premier Inn. Clean and comfortable. Good nights sleep.

Family trip, in the heart of Dublin in a very good hotel
Pros:

Clean hotel, modern decoration and so amazing. In the heart of Temple Bar but so quiet. Quality-price was excellent. Team members were always asking to help you and to offer you advices. Great experience, probably i will choose another Premier Inn if i trip to Ireland o UK.

Comfortable and clean room, but no hot water in bathroom
Pros:

The location is fantastic, the room was nice and comfortable but unfortunately there was no hot water in the bathroom. For the price I paid, this was disappointing. It could have been checked before my arrival, but the overall experience was good.

Pros:

Great location in Temple Bar area so very walkable to city center! Even though we prepaid, we were asked to take a smaller room on arrival. We were given 1 hand towel for a three night prepaid stay and only 1 card because they were short that day. No perks like complimentary hot tea/coffee, nor anywhere to relax. Only 1 chair in the room. They can do better.

Pros:

Pros: my room was super quiet, comfortable mattress, the manager and a brunette working at reception in the hotel are very efficient.
Cons: the heating was controlled by the front desk on request, despite there being a thermostat in the room. Bedding was scratchy, pillows were flat. The staff in the restaurant hate their job and that was obvious. The food in the restaurant reflected that imo. Much of the staff I observed appeared to wish to be elsewhere. A worldwide problem currently, imo

Great hotel, great location
Pros:

I spent a week in Dublin and stayed at the Premier Inn, Temple Bar area (Stephen street lower). The hotel is clean and safe and the staff are friendly. The hotel is situated in a quiet area away from the tourists. The hotel has wifi, nice rooms, and there is a bar in the basement that stays open late. The next time I visit Dublin, I will stay here again.

Pros:

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 days and it was perfect. I would go back to this hotel anytime.
It is very central. We walked all the time to downtown. Many places to eat around the property and really close to Temple Bar area.
The room was wide and clean. Th hotel was really quit so we could sleep well at night and the area was quite too.
Staff were amazing!

Pros:

The staff were good, the place was clean but trying to get a taxi was a nightmare. We missed our train! We told the front desk at 9AM that we needed a taxi to the train. Ended up having to flag one on the street!

Pros:

I really liked how safe I felt here. People who are not staying on the property can not just walk off of the street and get on the elevator. That was a plus for me

Pros:

This was a great place to stay in Dublin. Very walkable to many locations. It’s a 10 minute walk to the Temple Bar central core and 10 minutes to Trinity College. Super clean and convenient. Parking right behind in the third party garage but they have a discount for the hotel guest.

Location for the craic
Pros:

Having stayed here before, I knew what to expect. Check-in and restaurant are situated below ground, not a big fan but functional and concsiderating the location, space dictates.6/7 minute walk to Temple Bar and Grafton St, 10 mins to O'Connell St, 20 mins to Guinness Storehouse.
Typical Premier Inn room comfy bed and plenty of hot water for bath/shower. Breakfast,as usual was plentiful and good value.
Having to good down to reception,with your case,to drop off room key a bit of a pain, pity there isn't a drop box at ground level.
All in all adequate stay,the location means I will use again.
