The Harding Hotel exceeded my expectations. The Reception staff were incredible from check in to check out. The bar/restaurant next door was incredible (part of the hotel). For my first night in Ireland as an Australian, I had to pinch myself with great Irish band music playing whilst I was having a pint or 2 of Guinness. The food in the bar was delicious. The small adjoining cafe next door (part of the hotel) was also fantastic for a big cooked Irish breakfast each morning. I travel abroad regularly and highly recommend this hotel.

Great hotel in the centre of Dublin

Staff was super friendly and nothing was to much for them. Rooms clean and smells fresh. Location was great for getting around the city.

Nothing really to do with the hotel and not in their control, a few of us had rooms looking out over cathedral but the dongs from clock going on the hour every hour. So if you are a light sleeper you may want to request a room the other side.

Pefect stay, couldn't have been better

Spacious and clean, rooms are really big for a town hotel. There is plenty of hot water and water pressure was excellent. The beds were comfy, daily cleaning was spotless and the room has everything you need for a stay. We loved the fact that you are able to walk into Darkey Kelly's for some food and drink. Staff at the 24/7 Reception was friendly and helpful at all times. We found our new base for our stays in Dublin, will definitely be back!

Our stay at the Harding Hotel was exceptional

Our stay at the Harding Hotel was fantastic. The hotel is extremely well managed, and the staff were wonderfully attentive across the board — reception, bistro, housekeeping, restaurant, and pub. We were given a room with a stunning view of Christchurch Cathedral, truly indescribable. The location is excellent, allowing us to explore many places on foot. The restaurant team was outstanding. Besides serving a great breakfast, they even prepared a takeaway kit for our early 4 a.m. departure and arranged our taxi to the airport. Simply incredible. Congratulations to everyone for the excellent work — it genuinely made us want to return.

Everything went perfectly, and there wasn’t a single negative aspect to our stay.

Great location and would recommend it.

Great location and all worked well.

We seemed to be next to the very noisy boiler. We had such a good value stay that we zoned out of it but the hotel wasn’t very busy and we could easily have been in a less noisy room.

Great value, location, and facilities! Would stay again.

Comfortable bed. Welcoming and friendly staff. Cozy. Location was perfect, walking distance to attractions and restaurants.

Room was street facing so was rather loud. Was to be a little expected as a holiday weekend. Maybe soundproof glass?

Reception staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location was excellent. Breakfast was beautiful.

The rooms are very dated and the bed wasn't the best. But overall, it was reasonably priced to reflect this I think.

Loved this place!

Stayed with two teenagers in a 3 bed room and we loved it! Great location for us as people covering the city on foot and using the city bus system. Affordable, comfortable, and the staff was so lovely. Secure luggage storage helped us on each end of our stay, and we were lucky to check in early on our arrival day.
