Editor's Pick
"The Harding Hotel is located a five-minute walk from Temple Bar—close enough for easy access but far enough away to allow guests to feel just slightly more grown up than the Temple Bar hostel kids." Full review
Frommer's
"The polished wood and bright, floor-to-ceiling windows of the cheerful lobby give off a pleasantly old-fashioned vibe. The comfortable, if plain, guest rooms are good value." Full review
