The staff allowed me to store my bags , which I suppose was adequate.
My room was right above the bar , so sleeping before 2 AM was a challenge. The noise from the street started up again around 6 AM as the beer deliveries began. Also , the mattress springs poked out , which was just great.

Solid Temple Bar Stay
easy accesssuper clean room
The location worked well. It offered easy access from the street. Also the cleanliness was very good. I found the room super clean upon arrival, a relief after a long day.
I noticed the cold water kept turning off, a bit frustrating. The water supply would cut off every couple hours. It resumed about ten minutes after a toilet flush, affecting shower plans.

the location was certainly convenient. the staff was friendly and check-in was straightforward. the beds proved to be comfortable, awesome for a decent night's rest.
The noise levels at night were significant. I could hear music until late. the bathroom extractor fan was quite dusty. It looked like it had not been cleaned recently. additionally, i found the window difficult to keep open.

great locationhelpful stafffree earplugscold water
i think the location was great. the staff at the bar was helpful always. i loved the clean room. it even had free ear plugs, because it is above a bar. it was central to everything too.
cold water would turn off sometimes. it would turn back on after flushing the toilet and waiting for 10 minutes. when i wanted to shower, i needed to flush the toilet first, wait 10 minutes then all worked.
