Excellent Location for tourist activities
Pros:

The locations is fantastic! I was within 5 minutes of all meeting points for activities.

Cons:

The refrigerator was heating up the room quite a bit. I had my windows open whenever I was in the room, although I needed to shut them to sleep. I did appreciate the nice Dyson fan in the room.

Pros:

A szoba mérete megfelelő volt, a reggeli bőséges és választékos. A személyzet nagy része kedves, segítőkész.

Cons:

A buli helyektől távolabb van, de így is zajos volt éjjel, főleg, mert nyitva kellett tartani kicsit az ablakot, hogy legyen levegő. Nincs szellőztető rendszer, vagy nem működik jól. Az ágy nekünk puha volt.

Pros:

location good, rooms at the rear have no view at all, although they are quieter. A give away to the area is the hotel provides you with ear plugs.

Cons:

Limited bar opening times after a long day it was not possible to have a night cap before bed as the bar closed at 11pm

Pros:

I loved the location the security desk staff was wonderful and eager to help. The check in was seamless and the included breakfast was a good value.

Cons:

The room was a bit small for 2 of us, both with separate luggage to contend with. It was warm that day and with no AC, the only option was to open the window for air, bur backing to the alley was noisy. The staff was helpful to show us how to operate the fan.

ideal für einen kurzen Aufenthalt, da vieles in Gehdistanz, super Auswahl an Restaurants in der Nähe
Pros:

super Lage, Wochenende abends etwas laut, aber unter der Woche wird es ab 23h ruhiger

Cons:

Kaum vegetarische/vegane Optionen beim Frühstückbüffet.
Hafermilch und mehr frisches Gemüse wäre ein guter Start

The Temple Bar Inn was located near all the pubs and restuarants downtown Dublin.
Pros:

The Temple Bar Inn was located downtown Dublin on Temple Street right where all the pubs and resturants were located. The staff was great and the room was very clean.

Cons:

We had a room at the back of the hotel, which was very noisey with music from the street above until 2-3 am, but we survived our two night stay.
