amazing temple bar stay!

perfect location helpful staff beer voucher smooth checkout

The location was perfect. we were right in the heart of everything, and it was easy to walk to all the main attractions! the staff was very pleasant and helpful during our entire stay. we were treated to a complimentary beer voucher for the hotel's own restaurant. It was a nice surprise. check-in and checkout were smooth and efficient!

The room lacked a bit of soundproofing, so i could hear some street noise at night. This was minor.

central location fun pub exterior art

the location was very central. it was right in the middle of temple bar. the vat house pub attached to the hotel was good fun. the art based on ulysses covering the hotel's exterior always made me smile.

The initial smell at the door wasn't great. I noticed a slightly old, damp odor, especially in the elevators.
