We were there for a family trip and chose this hotel because of its location. I was pleasantly surprised that we didn’t hear any outside noise considering the hotel is in Temple Bar. I would definitely stay there again in the future.

This hotel is in a great location. It’s walking distance to the all the pubs the in temple bar area. The hotel is a bit dated, although you can tell some elements have been recently renovated. We asked for an early check-in ahead of arrival and we did get to check-in around noon so I appreciated that immensely and we were given 3 drink vouchers for Buskers next door. The room itself was a good size and appeared clean, I say appeared because when I finally went to bed I noticed something had splattered and dried on the bed’s headboard.. this made me question cleanliness afterwards. The bathroom door didn’t shut (seemed like the wooden door had expanded slightly over time and was a little bigger than the frame) which was annoying. The shower was not leakproof. No matter how hard I tried, there was constantly water dripping on the floor. There was body wash & shampoo/conditioner provided, but no lotion. While one of the pros is that the hotel is in a great location, it is also a con if you are a light sleeper. Our family can sleep through anything so the noise did not bother us. The hotel does provide ear plugs but if you are a light sleeper and don’t particularly like wearing ear plugs to bed, the temple bar area may not be the best location to stay in.

This was a great hotel, we had a junior suite which was very room. The staff go out of their way to make your stay worry free. The add on breakfast is well worth it, lots of great breakfast options.

The property is clean and fresh. If you travel with with kids, ask rooms at ack side. The bar downstairs is popular in Dublin. Staff is polite, especially Nicolas. Managers are also friendly and always trying to help. Breakfast is good, not so big assortment but fresh and delicious. The location is one of the best.

Great experience! Great location, staff was amazing. I got locked out of my room from the doorstop thing closing but a staff member was very reassuring and used a cord to jockey the thing into place. Whew! The breakfast was fantastic!! My room was great, very comfortable. I stayed several nights and always felt safe coming in late from pubs. I will recommend you to friends and family!

I loved the location of the property - being in the Temple Bar Area felt like you were in the middle of the action. The staff also worked with us to change rooms to better suit the needs of my family. And the hotel breakfast was fantastic! My only concern was that not all rooms had A/C - which I could have lived with except that the windows didn't not open very much so air flow was challenging. That said - the staff was able to move us to a room that did have A/C and was actually more spacious.

This is a nice hotel, needs updating. The area is not good for kids. I hate there were guys walking around advertising lap dances, seems vulgar for a tourist spot even though its heavy with bars it doesnt need to be tacky. The bed was very comfortable. Food was okay.

Enjoyed two nights at the Temple Bar Hotel with my 20 years kids. Great location in the heart of the Temple Bar area. Lots of bars and restaurants right outside your front door and the hotel was clean and quiet.

The hotel is in a great central location. You can walk everywhere. The rooms are clean but do need a little paint and some upgrades. Breakfast was really good and the staff was really nice and accommodating to my two small children.
