“I found that its pulse is undeniable: set directly above a lively bar in Temple Bar, the location is amazing, putting guests at the very heart of Dublin's action, a step from the River Liffey and key attractions like Dublin Castle. While rooms are compact, they are thoughtfully equipped and the management appears genuinely responsive. A full Irish breakfast and the promise of live music round out what seems a quintessentially Dublin experience.”

The location was great. It was easy to get around.

My room was right above the bar, so it was very noisy! I also noticed a bad smell when I first got there. It was like the floor had been cleaned with dirty water. I had to wipe the floor multiple times to get it clean.
