Hôtel très bien situé à Temple Bar
Pros:

- Personnel de l’accueil très sympathique.
- Chambre au 3eme étage doté d’un petit balcon, avec vue sur le Liffey.
- Petit déjeuner (breakfast) consistant.
- Situation top, dans le quartier Temple Bar, très animé.
- La salle du petit déjeuner du matin se transforme en pub le soir, avec groupe de musique.

Cons:

Après la réservation faite sur booking.com pour 3 nuits petit déjeuner inclu (1043€), nous avons dû nous acquitter de 157€ supplémentaires (non signalé sur booking) car notre séjour était > à 2 nuits. Au moment du Check out, il faut payer 10€/chambre pour laisser les valises à la bagagerie de l’hôtel.

Great location, value, staff, breakfast. A wonderful stay.
Pros:

Great location, kind staff. They allowed us to leave our bags when we got there early. Comfy bed and a nice view of the river from our room. Breakfast in the bar was great value - you get to order one thing from the menu and then self serve tea, coffee, juice, toast.

Trevlig personal, bra läge mitt i partydistriktet
Pros:

Trevlig och hjälpsam persoanal.

Cons:

Dåligt isolerade fönster, vilket gjorde att det blev mycket oväsen från gatan och intilliggande pubar till sent på natten. Passar kanske bättre för partyfolket än för familjen.

As above - appalling!
Pros:

Breakfast although we couldn’t order yoghurt & granola in addition to Irish breakfast like many hotels I have stayed at.

Cons:

Lack of supply of ear defenders. Wasn’t aware that we would be staying over the loudest pub in Temple Bar by far! Was placed on the first floor straight above the Fitzsimmons Bar with no soundproofing or consideration by other extremely loud guests who got to their room at 3 am . Did not sleep for 2 nights as a result!

Turned away for no reason - Unacceptable door policy
Pros:

Three years ago, I visited this pub with my girlfriend. Even then, the bouncer looked at me with absolute disdain before letting us in. Yesterday I returned with a male friend; luckily, there was no security at the door, so we got in without any trouble and had a normal, quiet time.

However, today was a completely different and humiliating experience. I went back with this friend of mine. As we approached the door, the bouncer stopped us with a hostile, 'Where are you going, guys?' and immediately denied us entry. When we politely asked him why we couldn't go in, his only response was literally, 'Because no.'

We were completely sober, calm, and dressed perfectly fine for a pub. It leaves me wondering why we were arbitrarily rejected. Was it because he heard us speaking Spanish? Did he just arbitrarily decide he didn't like our clothes? Or did he wrongly assume we were a gay couple and discriminate based on that?

Whatever the actual reason, being turned away just 'because no' is incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful, and feels highly discriminatory. It’s a shame that a venue allows its security staff to treat tourists with such baseless arrogance. Save your money and go to other pubs in Dublin where you will actually be treated with basic human decency
