Lonely Planet "Sleeping isn't really the activity of choice for anyone staying in this compact, decent hostel in the middle of Temple Bar, next to the pub of the same name."

"The Temple Bar Hotel is a mid-sized option in the middle of Dublin's busiest, most energetic district." Full review
Time Out "There is much to be said for staying right in the centre of things - and, despite its busy nightclub, the hotel does well to maintain an air of civility." Full review
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
i
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.
Frommer's "This cheerful, well-run hotel certainly wins in the location stakes, sitting right in the middle of trendy Temple Bar" Full review
