Overall hotel provided pleasant service and I would recommend them
Room was very comfortable and clean. Two food venues to choose from and location was near many sites in a walkable city.
Would have liked more mirrors closer to outlets for hair curling etc and a fan or two since no air-conditioning available and son likes colder room temperature

Superb! I will definitely stay again in future
Extremely efficient, friendly and welcoming staff. Nothing too much trouble! A really good Irish experience. The room was clean and comfortable although the staff were a little too zealous in starting to servicing it. Excellent location particularly for the two Cathedrals and Trinity College.
Nothing really. Pretty much faultless.

Great location, helpful staff, great bar
The room was over the street so it was a little noisy. The bottom of the bathroom door has a light that can't be turned off. I had to cover it with a towel.

Perfect for this 57 yr old mom and 17 yr old daughter.
Quiet, even though we were above the outdoor seating area of Darkey Kelley’s and across from Christ Church. The food at both restaurants was excellent! Location was perfect for walking everywhere we wanted to go. Would absolutely stay again.

Book it.
A quiet place next to Christ Church and the entire city center including Temple Bar District. I enjoyed my stay. The food in the restaurant downstairs is really good. A nice Pub with very friendly service.

Comfortable nice sized room, good shower and bathroom. Bar and restaurant very conveniently connected to the hotel. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Style is dated but very clean. Location is nice in that it is still walking distance to main areas and attractions but quieter at night. We enjoyed our stay.
A bit on the expensive side. If it had been about €50 less it would’ve been a better value.

Now that I’ve been there, I’ll never stay anywhere else in Dublin.
We LOVED this place. Great location within walking distance to so much of Dublin, very good breakfast, and amazingly a full pub and nightly music in the basement. People from other hotels were coming to ours for breakfast and dinner and entertainment! Very helpful staff.

Great location with knowledgeable front desk staff. Room needs updating.
Excellent food
Room needs an update especially bathroom. Seems That wall tile was used on floor making it slippery.

Stay here!
I've stayed here multiple times. Location is excellent! Close to Temple Bar but away from the craziness. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Darkey Kelley pub downstairs is lively and fun! Delicious restaurant . Only thing I would suggest is a ramp down the few stairs from reception to the elevator. Otherwise excellent all around.
The few steps down from reception to the elevator could use a ramp. .

Lovely visit - look forward to coming back.
All was fine - would visit again. Harding Hotel is more of a 'complex' with access to the Cooper Alley Bistro and Darkey Kelly's Bar available from Hotel check in. I thought there would be noise spill over from the Bar, this was not the case - and of greater importance it is a great Bar ;-) Our room was starting to look 'tired' - however all the usual room facilites were to hand - and our stay was most enjoyable.
Price for me was an issue - however location was of umost timportance - the visit was based around atteneding a couple of theatre shows nearby - so it was something that had to be taken 'on the chin'.

Great location, friendly staff. The bar in the hotel had live music, so that was a great way to end the night.

We would highly recommend this accommodation.
It is in a fabulous location within walking distance of all the main Dublin attraction. The Darkey Kelly Bar downstairs has good meals and music. The music from downstairs did not disturb us at all once we went to bed. The staff were very helpful and friendly
