Guests often appreciate the modern, clean rooms, some featuring rainfall showers and smart TVs with Netflix, Disney, and YouTube. Many enjoyed comfortable beds and, in some cases, amazing river views from higher floors.

solid stay in temple bar

convenient locationfriendly staffcomfortable roomsubpar dinner
the location was very convenient. it was an easy bus ride from the airport. the staff members were friendly (they answered all my questions). the room was very super clean and cozy.
i found the dinner to be subpar. i ate upstairs, and it took two hours for the food to be served. the service was nice, but attention to the food preparation seemed lacking.

the location was central. staff was available at the front desk, always ready to assist. the electronic blinds offered complete darkness in the room. the breakfast at the restaurant was quite enjoyable..
the room was clean, but it felt a little small for two people with luggage. space for opening suitcases was limited, especially when both were open. this made moving around the room a bit challenging.

Mixed Experience Due to Room Issues

advantageous locationsubstantial noise
The hotel's location proved advantageous for city exploration.
My assigned room was positioned directly above the bar and adjacent to the lift, resulting in substantial noise disturbance. the room emitted an unpleasant odour upon arrival, indicative of inadequate floor cleaning despite multiple attempts to rectify the issue with floor wipes.

The rooms were modern and very clean. The location is AMAZING. It is steps away from all the famous nightlife and bars. The sound proofing was really GOOD, and blackout curtains ensured a comfortable sleep. The bed and pillows were of good quality.
The hotel has a bar with live music. On Saturday it goes on until 2 AM and it is really loud.
