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!"
