Pros:

A szállás a Liffey partján van, közel minden látnivalóhoz. Dublin belvárosa nagyon jól besétálható. A szállás zajos negyedben van, de az udvarban szituált, tehát viszonylag csendes. A szobához tartozik egy jól felszerelt kiskonyha - hűtő, sütő, rezsó és mosógép. A reggeli pedig nagyon szép helyen van tálalva és nagyon bőséges.

Cons:

Ez csak privát preferencia - nincs zöldség a reggelihez, de azért jól lehet lakni. A szobát nem takarítják amíg a vendég ott tartózkodik.Ezen kívül semmit nem tudok felrónni, mert a szállás amúgy tökéletes.

Classy, friendly, incredible common areas & location.
Pros:

We had planned to stay 7 days during a film shoot but when dates changed, we decided to take the weekend as a staycation in Dublin (we live in Wicklow.) It’s such a perfect location for the Dublin experience.

We loved the interior design & style of the common areas, & found the room quite comfortable. Our window looked out on a wall which wasn’t ideal, & the room AC was weak, but those aren’t really complaints, just observations.

The entire staff was tremendous- helpful & allowed us a late check out for a small fee.

We originally chose the Locke for our film shoot stay because of their apartment style rooms with well-stocked kitchens, but also because they are one of the ONLY dog-friendly hotels in all of Dublin & indeed, much of Ireland. The rest of Dublin & the country needs to catch up on pet-friendly accommodations, which are pretty numerous in the USA.

Thank you, Locke - we will return.

Nice location, easy to walk to
Pros:

Nice enough apart hotel North of the LIffey with kitchen and full fridge; within easy walking distance to central areas; Trinity is a 15 min walk; rooms are dark, should just have proper lighting
