Time Out

Star Service
"This hotel is defined by its location smack in the middle of Temple Bar, a magnet for pub hoppers, street musicians and exuberant tourists." Full review

Due to the noise emanating from this neighborhood, those who actually want to sleep should request rooms on the back side of the hotel, facing Adair Lane.
