Feedback about Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge enjoys a superb location right in the heart of Dublin, steps away from O'Connell Street and a short walk to attractions like the Board Gais Theatre. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which offer pleasant views. Live music in the hotel's pub is a popular feature, though some guests in lower-floor rooms have mentioned experiencing noise from the bar. The plentiful breakfast is also a highlight for many.

The location was central. staff members were good. the food was great. live music played every night. everything was clean. I felt at ease.
the team told us to park at the mall parking garage. they did not mention that the garage closes and only reopens at 10 am on sundays. it cost me a fee to get the car out.
