Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable so was the bathroom and wea also had a balcony with great canal view! Although you could hear live music on the street with close windows it was quiet enough! Perfect location right in the city center so you can go anywhere on foot and book tours directly from the reception and all guys there was so helpful! Live music every day if you want to feel the heartbeat of Dublin, Breakfast and Irish dishes was delicious and the stuff was so warm and friendly made us feel so comfortable!
Thank you all so much! 🌹

Cons:

They have no closets in Dublin in general..

Pros:

Die Lage war optimal!

Cons:

Die Lautstärke der Bands im Erdgeschoss bzw. von dem DJ gegenüber hat doch dem einen oder anderem meiner Kollegen vom einschlafen gehindert.

Pros:

Ganz besonders freundliches Personal, besonders an der Rezeption, super hilfsbereit, das ist immer angenehm, wenn der Empfang so positiv ist - und auch im Restaurant, alle gaben sich immer Mühe.
Große Frühstücksauswahl auf Bestellung war im Preis eingeschlossen - aber es gab nur ziemlich dünnen Kaffee aus einem Spender oder schwarzen Tee, ebenfalls aus einem Spender, auch auf Nachfrage keine anderen Teesorten (grünen zum Beispiel)

Cons:

Keine Getränkeauswahl beim Frühstück
Das Hotel hat ein riesiges Pub und ist eine beliebte Party-Location, das muss man wissen, jede Nacht gibt es lange sehr laute Musik und super Stimmung - entsprechend trotz Schallschutzfenstern eher wenig Schlaf! Die Lage ist für Party-People natürlich perfekt, direkt mittendrin in Temple Bar.

Good location, fair enough to stay
Pros:

The hotel was at the center of Temple Bar region, the room was comfortable and the bed was good enough, the hotel was clean. In Ireland, 2 days is enough to see Dublin, so i think you should book a hotel at the center. We visited all the areas by walk. I recommend to stay at this hotel.

Nope.
Pros:

No-frills hotel that has a great location for shopping and sightseeing, but good Lord, would never stay there again. Rooms are tiny, and I mean so tiny that you need to sleep with your luggage on your bed. Rooms also smelly, dirty (carpet stains everywhere, hot and stuffy, and uncomfortable beds that had me sliding off as the mattress had no structure. Website advertised a free drink for patrons, but the attendant at the desk didn’t know anything about this, thus no free drink. The hotel itself is difficult to get to with all the congestion and one-way streets. There’s no parking on site so you need to schlep your luggage a couple blocks away and the hotel stamped our parking ticket for a reduced rate, which still ended up being $20 for one night. And don’t expect a good nights sleep as the music is blasting until 3:00 a.m. and party goers fill the streets. The room was so hot but even if you had a fan, there would be no where to place it. This is a hotel to be avoided until you’re desperate.

Place was great but prepare not to sleep well
Pros:

The location is great! Nice hotel with all the basics you need

Cons:

It is super loud on busy pub nights which was the weekend when we were there. I had messaged twice requesting a room away from main pub corner as we travelled all night to Ireland with little sleep but our room was right above the busy corner unfortunately.

Heel leuk verblijf gehad met vriendinnen op een super lokatie
Pros:

Prima hotel op een super lokatie in de wijk Temple bar. Op de begane grond van het hotel is een bar met live muziek, die tot in de late uurtjes feestmuziek draait. Hier moet je wel rekening mee houden. Dagelijks schone handdoeken en een prima ontbijt.

Cons:

Veel herrie als je op tijd naar bed toe gaat. Maar dit weet je van te voren

Would definitely recommend!!
Pros:

The staff was courteous and helpful. Our room was available early and very clean and comfortable. The hotel is located in the heart of Restaurants and Pubs. We didn’t mind the noise of the late night crowds but if it is quiet you require then the Temple area is not for you.

Great location but noisy due to being in the heart of Temple Bar area
Pros:

The hotel room was small with 2 queen size beds but sufficient. Beds were very comfortable. Staff were amazing and we even got an early check-in. Breakfast was included and a really good order-off-the-menu breakfast. Location was amazing in the heart of Temple Bar and close to many restaurants and bars but that meant it was noisy well into the night and in the morning too.
