It was close convenient to all the pubs eaters the famous Temple pub Transportation from Dublin Airport will stop you almost at the front door.

This hotel was way overpriced for the quality of the room. The staff was not very friendly, especially a girl at check out, straight up rude. Almost immediately after check-in our sink clogged, and never drained. I reported it that night to the staff and they said there was nothing they could do. I checked out and showed photos of the sink clogged to the front desk girl and she was very rude about it. They also told me they would validate parking but they do not. Also in my initial booking I booked a full size and a single bed and did not get it at check in, and my additional friend had to find another hotel. They also advertised in my booking that the incidental was €100 and at check in they decided they wanted it to be €150. The room was also very low quality. The only good thing was the location. Everything else was terrible. Way too much money for such a terrible experience.

Fantastic staff. Rooftop bar was cool. Place was clean. Balcony overlooking temple bar area also was a lot of fun. That said, the comments on paper thin walls are true. You can hear everything from your neighbors, the ground shaking when people walk in the hallways. It is not just the noise from Temple Bar. It was perfect for a girls trip esp since we knew what we were getting into. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is not the right neighborhood for you. And most def not the right hotel.

Best place to stay in Dublin!
A wnderful find, right in the centre of Dublin! Hotel beautifully decorated for Christmas; receptionist friendly and efficient. Really brilliant stay in a spotlessly clean and completely comfortable room. Shower was great, and we had tea / coffee making facilities. Slept soundly and enjoyed hearty, varied breakfast which was included in the very reasonable room rate. Can't wait to return!

Location is brilliant, just a shame about the staff on desk. Be aware they ask for €100 deposit on check in for the room.. when I queried this the lady on reception was quite rude and spoke over me when I queried it stating it does advise this several occasions throughout the booking, although when I looked on my booking the small print states, ‘the hotel may be subject to charges adhering to their own policies’.. just worth baring in mind. Room was ok, basic enough, tea and coffee facilities which is a nice touch. Walls are paper thin and you are able to hear next door talking and the music downstairs in the bar which we weren’t bothered about but it’s worth noting as the music goes on till past midnight. The lady on check out was much friendlier and we had a much better experience with her. Very polite and allowed us to keep our bags there free of charge before our late night flight as we were informed usually we would have to pay. Wouldn’t stay here again purely for the service and rudeness we experienced during check in but if you’re after a rowdy couples holiday with good location and entertainment it’s good. Just a shame about our experience with a member of staff. Again just highlighting it’s worth baring in mind the €100 euro deposit for your room on top of your booking.

We wanted to be in Temple Bar at the Center of the Action and we were. This is a major night scene in Dublin. The only down side was that we had trouble finding a pub where the music and noise did not immediately cause bleeding from the ears. Fun place. Crowded. Lots of choices for food, drink and fun but NOISY!

We had an excellent stay at Fitzsimons hotel. The location was great, really central with all attractions and amenities within walking distance and right in the middle of temple bar. There was also a great pub and roof bar at the hotel. The room was spacious and clean with fab views over the river. The reception was staffed 24/7 and the staff were helpful with any questions that we had. They also took our bags while we went sightseeing after check out and this was free of charge. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend.

Clean, comfortable, convenient, & accommodating
Loved this hotel & location! In the Heart of Dublin outside the Ha’Penny bridge, it was so convenient. Our room was comfortable & clean, and the staff went above and beyond to get permission for my family to stay there because I mistakenly didn’t add all family members when booking, and they don’t allow children! But the sweet woman helping in the front was very understanding & asked her supervisor for special permission for us since we wouldn’t have had anywhere else to go. No parking at this location that I could see. I believe that’s an error on the hotels.com website/app.

Yes, it was noisy at times but such is the trade off for a premium location. It was well within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go, including the meeting points for several tours. The breakfast was quite good in the true Irish style, made to order. We went to the bar one evening for dinner and live entertainment; we were not disappointed. Overall, I would return to this hotel if I return to Dublin.

the picture above does not reflect the room I was given I can only relate it to a prison cell from the movies. (room 103) I was meeting my daughters and was to embarrassed to have them there so got them another much nicer room elsewhere tried the first night as id already paid but the noise from the bar below never ended so i ended paying twice for a three night stay as they would not refund me even for the nights i did not stay ......dont do it the rooms are quite shabby

Good points: -Central location -Clean, modern room -Reception looked after bags before check in Bad Points: -Upon arriving at 1300, one of the ladies behind reception continued to chop on her chicken wings, something which I would suggest was done in a private room, not infront of customers. -Check in took a very long time. Big queue. -Very noisy outside at night (expected due to area) -Heating in the bathroom was on MAX and we were unable to adjust it. This meant the room was unbearably hot. Called reception and their solution was to open the window. The noise would have made it impossible to sleep with the window open. So our options were to attempt to sleep in a sauna or attempt to sleep in a less hot sauna, but with deafening noise coming in from outside. -Their website states they will look after luggage after check out and until departure from Dublin. We asked for this, being confident as they looked after the bags the day before (check in), only to be told no, there wasn’t enough space (two small rucksacks). This completely scuppered our plans for the day. -Breakfast was very small portions and tasted average. Only realised once we’d finished they’d missed off bacon.
