Wow! Zanzibar Locke exceeded our expectations! The entire place from the small cafe, quiet/cozy work area, reception area and our room was incredibly clean and updated. We loved the soft scent of vanilla in the reception. Adam helped us when we checked in and he was fantastic! Top notch service and so patient! We appreciated the smaller things like--reserving our taxi to the warm welcoming each time we entered.
Our room was very spacious and so many amenities! Small but fully functioning kitchen (with a dishwasher, stove, oven and all the kitchen supplies you could need).
We were slightly disappointed the hotel bar was closed during our stay but the morning cafe was perfect. The location is quite honestly the best. It is a simple walk across the bridge (Ha'penny) to get to the very busy Temple Bar district. Not to mention there was plenty of places to go to on the side of the river the hotel is on.
Quite honestly--hands down, an incredibly safe/quiet/clean place to stay in Dublin. Very worth it.
