I’d recommend it to others stoppping in Dublin to use this hotel.

I liked the location near the river, in the Viking area of the city and that the building had character. The desk staff was very helpful in setting me up to use public transit and booking my bus to the airport at the end of my stay. If you spend time in the hotel there are a few things to enjoy in the building.

Cost was higher than I’d expected - the breakfast room was very busy in the early morning. - hard to get a table.

Nicely positioned in town for attractions and super folks

The location is perfect , close to the main attractions and everywhere is so walkable. The hotel has a handy pull in spot outside so I was able to drop my bags off and take my rental car back easily. The staff were really on top of everything. Room was comfy and the restaurant (which has a street facing entrance as well as one from the hotel) was very popular and the food was excellent. Did not try the bar but seemed lively with the sounds of people enjoying themselves.

nothing - I would definitely stay again when in Dublin.

Lovely iconic hotel in the middle of the centre.

Great location in the middle of the centre. Dublin Express from airport stops around the corner. Large somewhat dated room (but very charming), clean and comfortable bed. Iconic building! Highly recommendable.

Breakfast was great, beds comfortable, good location, helpful staff

The noise from the pub downstairs was very annoying. When booking ask for a room not above the pub!

We had a lovely one night stay and will consider staying again in the future

Great location. It’s at the quieter end of a very busy tourist area..The staff were really lovely and the food / entertainment was great.

The furniture in the room needs updating but the room was clean and comfortable. We would have liked a better view rather than a gable wall and office windows but for one night it was fine. We found the unisex toilets in the main entrance a little cramped and off putting.

Great location for experiencing Dublin

Fabulous location for exploring the historic city center. Numerous city transport options within 100 meters. Onsite bistro and bar a huge plus. Friendly staff at check-in, checkout, and in-between. Beautiful view of Christ Church Cathedral, enjoyed the chiming of the bells. Relatively spacious room.

Niggling details: carpet unattached along one wall, so would ‘bunch’ when walking across. Toilet seat improperly balanced, would not stay up without a knee for support. Windows leaked cool air, even when latched.

Very charming city hotel, excellent location, with a lot of atmosphere.

Nice room, good bed. Modern elevator, very good breakfast with table service. In-room-safe, updated and modern bathroom. Nice bar "Darkey Kelly's" was right next to the hotel. Friendly and helpful staff.

I have nothing to criticize.

Fantastic we'll be back again

The room was lovely very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, The food was fantastic and reasonably priced (We had dinner and breakfast). We came up for a concert in the 3Olympia which was a 2 minute walk away so the location is perfect for there or the Temple bar experience. I found it very family friendly.

The heating in the room was a bit hot and cold during the night but nothing major really.

The location of this hotel is perfect for seeing Dublin - it's close to the main sites and has good access to buses to the airport and other areas of the city. Our room had an excellent view of the Cathedral. There is a nice restaurant downstairs and also a pub with great live traditional music!

We have stayed in the Harding Hotel a few times before, the location is great for us. We get the train from Belfast to Connolly St Station and walk to the hotel, although you can take a bus from the train station no problem. It is perfect for us as we were going to a gig in Vicar Street which is within walking distance. The room is comfortable and the bar and restaurant are great.

Made us feel so at home, safe and comfortable!

We knew the building was older so we did not expect everything to be modern. That was part of the charm we were looking for. What we loved was the room was very spacious, the heater was easy to manage and it had a safe. Very clean, perfect location and the staff was not only friendly, but very helpful regarding setting up a taxi for us.

Nothing really.
