"The area was beautiful and the few staff we encountered were courteous. The bunkroom we stayed in had dirty blue pillowcases, fitted sheets, and duvets. This is a shared room hostel which is a great way to meet people from around the world. The wifi was so weak we had to either sit at reception or not have access. Just like any other hostel, you rent towels and strip your own beds of the white linens you place there prior to sleep. The building wasn't well maintained and there was no sound limit...

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection
10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection. We were able to check in early after arriving in the city, which was very much appreciated and made the start of our visit much easier.
The room was spacious with tall ceilings and overlooked Fleet Street, which gave it a nice sense of openness and a great view of the lively area below. The location is excellent, with many great places to eat just steps away. It is also within easy walking distance of Trinity College Dublin and the National Gallery of Ireland, making it a convenient base for exploring the city.
Overall, a comfortable stay in a very central location."
"Staff was friendly and accommodating. We arrived at 6:00am and check in was supposed to be 4:00pm. They held our bags for us while we waiting for the room to be ready, and let us in a couple hours sooner. The room was clean, and we got it cleaned several times during our stay with no issues. It was in great walking distance to the busy hotspot streets, and plenty of bus stops/trams/trains to go further. "
"Rooms were so much better this time big rooms. ice and clean
Only downside is the hotel is very cold
great location to everything
hotel staff so helpful and friendly "
"The room and entire hotel were clean and beautiful! The staff was absolutely superb. We ate some appetizers the night we arrived and coffee with scones the next morning. Honestly, due the the amazing staff we stayed on property for breakfast/scones and coffee as opposed to going out for it. 10/10 would stay again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND "
"Fantastic location
Everything within walking distance or bus
Love that I could open the window, no refrigerator in the room but there is a safe
Everything was so clean. But one thing to perhaps update would be the shower curtain, it looked clean just a slight musty scent"
"The shower pressure was low and the temperature fluctuated, which wasn’t very comfortable. The towels looked clean but didn’t smell particularly fresh. The air conditioning didn’t seem to work properly. I felt cold even with it set to 25°C. There was no robe provided, and the fridge only contained water (no minibar or snacks).
On the plus side, the bar was good and breakfast was very nice."
