Star Service
Frommer's "Just central enough not to require a trek to the main tourist sites, but far enough to escape the inevitable nighttime crowds of nearby Temple Bar, this is a reasonable option on the western edge of the city center"
Oyster "Its most popular amenity is an on-location bar with live music that serves 70 types of Irish whiskey"
EuroCheapo "The Harding’s Darkey Kelly Restaurant and Bar serves up hearty pub fare along with live music on most evenings"
Star Service "Wedged between the medieval quarter and Temple Bar, this remains one of the better budget hotels in Dublin, a rough-around-the-edges operation that continues to fill its rooms based more on low rates than style, service or standards"
