Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is in the best spot in Dublin to be in! It is located on the street called Temple Bar (named after a man named Temple) where all the music bars are on, and that's where you want to end up at the end of the evening with a short walk back to your hotel after a pint of guinness. It's located in a great walking district easily walking to many things. The hotel has been recently redone in a modern style, It is a four star hotel but done well for a four star. There is a breakfast room downstairs with a breakfast buffet for a charge till 10am. We had a room in the back of the hotel so it was quiet at night. The front desk staff speaks many languages and was very helpful. They are very ecologically concerned and had a choice of going green in cleaning your room, by not changing your sheets or towels or even not cleaning your room at all, thus not using any cleaning products. All in all a very good stay in the PERFECT location!"

"We got in very early from our trip and the staff was very accommodating. We were able to leave our luggage with them and explore Dublin. The breakfast is well worth the money and the coffee early in the morning was exactly what we needed. Very good stay. The street noise was something that we did not take into account, remember to ask the staff for a fan to block most of it out. Overall wonder full stay! Staff was really great!"

8/10 Good
"The house is very well located with easy access to other areas of Dublin with bus stop close by. The property itself is good, very stylish and with quality fixtures and fittings. It could command a higher score with a bit more attention to detail. It was generally clean, however some areas (blinds etc) were very dusty. Also, not all TVs worked. The host was responsive to all communications. Better quality assurance and we would have given a higher score. Nice place for a mixed group stay in Dublin. The 3 en suites are ideal."

Once you’ve attended a concert at Dublin’s superb O2, there’s no going back to theatre-style venues where the seating is arranged in regular rows.
