"Different vibe, but honestly the nicest hotel we stayed at for our 4 week trip to Europe. If you plan on swimming, you must purchase a swim cap for 3€ but it’s a great little pool & they have a sauna too! Honestly if I’m ever in Dublin again, wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! "

Temple Bar Inn
5/5 Excellent
"Quad room was amazing. So much room and four twin beds and two bathrooms. Perfect for a family or a friend getaway. Slept with the windows open so it was a bit noisy, but beds and linens were good. Great location to walk the downtown. Security/doorman was super helpful getting us a cab, which we hadn’t pre booked during rush hour. "
