The Bar/Lounge at The Morgan Hotel

"For a hotel so central to Temple Bar, the double-glazing does a good job of dampening the noise, but as a package, the Morgan is mixed"

"A sparkling gem among a lot of very drab hotels in Temple Bar, the Morgan boasts about its chic design and decor, and the excitingly designed bedrooms and luxurious, colorful bathrooms are indeed pleasing to the many fashionistas and photographers who love this place"

"There is no gym (though the hotel does provide free passes to facilities down the street) or spa and in-room Wi-Fi comes at an additional fee, but the hotel is home to a popular neighborhood bar serving a small tapas menu and cocktails"

"The spacious bedrooms are decked out in calming pale tones, with splashes of original Irish art, while the hotel's cocktail bar has tapas, a DJ and an occasional bongo player"

"The Morgan is slotted into the very heart of the Temple Bar entertainment quarter – and thus into the heart of the Irish capital"

"Anyone wishing to do Temple Bar in style but not willing to pay the rates at The Clarence will thrill to this option"
