Temple Ciaran

Great bargain. Right on the bus line to the center of Dublin. Very clean. Nice kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave and a Centra downstairs. We got our LEAP passes there. The wet room was an adjustment but it was fine. Easy parking and load-in. Staff on-duty 24/7. Nice choice of eateries downstairs. I enjoyed meeting students there for summer study as well.

The room and bathroom were clean and well appointed and the breakfast was very tasty.

Room was well appointed but lacked space for clothes, suitcase etc. No space to hang clothes. It would have been difficult for two people to share space as it was awkward for one. I booked room for convenience to National Art Gallery and few restaurants I wanted to try; that goal was meet. Disappointed to find the hotel closed for two night for private events. As a single woman, safe spaces are a necessary and the hotel bar is always a refuge.
