i like the staff coz they were so helpful and they are well mannered ,for example on the day of my arrival that night my baby had a fever and i wanted to get her some medicine and it was late at night but when i went to the reception the night manager who was there was so helpful he took his time and helped us to look for a chemist that could be open at that hour of the night he was so helpful.

I love this Hotel. I have read others opinions on it and understand what they are saying, However, you must remember that it IS IN TEMPLE BAR. No hotel will have a quiet area in this area. It is the hub of Dublin Night life. The location is great for shopping as well as entertainment. It settles down around the time I do so the noise is not a problem. In short. if your looking for a spot in the middle of everything this is the place for you, Great local attractions, good staff and hotel bar and friendly staff. If you are 60 years old or so....this may not be the place for you. But if your known to go out at night on vacation, you should love this place.

The hotel is ideally situated for Temple Bar as well as City Centre. Rooms are small, but well appointment, comfortable and well maintained. Breakfast included in room was quite nice and well staffed. Plenty of locations around for other dinner choices and, of course pubs. Great location and Hotel!

Have stayed in the Temple Bar Hotel several times. Very central for shopping, train station, buses and in the centre of things for a night out. Rooms very clean. Found staff very friendly and helpful even gave us a map of Dublin. Eventhough we had checked out the following morning there was no problem leaving our bags in the hotel while we were shopping and we collected them before we went home - it was great. The only negative I would have is the room we were staying in this time was very noisy. This was external noise which I am sure the hotel had no control over i.e. bins being collected especially the glass.

We found that Temple Bar Hotel,although very central to Dublin's heart,was very expensive at approx.$500 Aus.We realise the hotel is old but if a room has not been upgraded it should not be available.It was too small;the bathroom had tiles off the wall over the bath;there was a problem with the water drainage.The dining room was too small to cater for the number of visitors;people had to form a queue which led out into the foyer;service by dining room staff was too slow and not welcoming.Overall,we would not recommend the hotel to anyone. I have written a letter already to the Tower Hotel group outlining our disappointment with our stay at the hotel.Also I stated that I belong to a hotelier's family so perhaps I am too critical in judging hotels.

We were originally allocated a room overlooking a very noisy street, just next to a massive fan which made an awful noise. However, i rang down to reception and they found us a new room which was great. Nothing was too much trouble, we asked for extra towels and tea bags and they were left straight away. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

The receptionist was very friendly and efficient. The elevator was not working. The staff at breakfast were more interested in having a chat and admiring each other’s hair than actually servicing breakfast. When they did serve the meal, it appeared that they served what they wanted to serve and not actually what you had ordered. The room was a nice size, but there was some kind of an extractor unit outside the window which made it unpleasant to open the window because of whatever it was extracting. The room and bathroom could have been cleaner.

Actually, we were so "jet lagged" by the time we arrived, I really have just a vague memory of the hotel. I remember the room was nice, the outside facade was charming, our breakfast was good and the pub upstairs was wonderful with great traditional music. I think the music was the most memorable part of the stay. The only negative thing I can remember is that it was very hot when we were there and no air-conditioning and the windows didn't open enough to cool the room. Of course, how often do you have a heat-wave in Ireland?? It seems to only happen when our family visits Europe, so if you need some warm weather just call us and we will bring some over from sunny California!

It was really top class hotel considering that it was rated as a three star.. the hotel staff were really polite. We arrived at nine am and they looked after our baggage until we could check in at 2pm. Breakfast is on until 11am which I feel is fab for us late risers, especially after a night out in the Temple Bar area. And it was lovely too - one of the best hotels I have been too. Would definately return to this hotel again on another visit to ireland.

The staff has been great and very helpful. They took care of fragile luggage before check in and after check out in the most professional way. Moreover, a problem with the sink as I entered the room was fixed within few minutes after informing the staff. Just a couple of small complaints: the lack of a minibar (if there was any, it was hidden very well) and of a shower instead of the bathtub. But this last one it's just a matter of personal tastes...

Chris the barman was very helpfull and informative. The roomservice was non existant. Fresh towels were left at 8am on the Saturday morning but they did not return to change sheets, clean the room or even make the beds. This was pointed out to the reception manager when we checked out on Sunday morning. He was going to look into it and inform us but when we collected out luggage later that day no message was left or any further information given.

The Hotel is excellent. I have stayed in the Hotel the last three times I have been in Dublin. It is very centrally located for both shopping and night life. It is also just a few steps away from the Aircoach which will bring you directly to Dublin Airport. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I was also able to check in early as I flew to Dublin the last time and there was no problem at the hotel. I also love the fact the breakfast is served that little bit later than most hotels so you can really relax and do not have to rush down for breakfast.
