Everything you need for your Dublin stay
The hotel is inviting, clean, and locating within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do. The staff was attentive and helpful and saw to our every need. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. An all-around excellent establishment!

Welcoming and very comfortable - and linked to a fab bistro and pub!
Very friendly and helpful staff - we felt very welcomed when we walked in. Reception is comfortable and inviting, and there is a lift to the rooms. The hotel is beautifully clean and warm. The room was a lovely size, the bed was very comfortable, and it was great to have a fridge and a safe in the room. The bathroom was spotless - and there was even a rubber bath mat for those, like me, who don't like slippery shower floors! We booked this at very short notice as we needed to find alternative accommodation urgently but I am so glad we did - we loved it and will definitely be back!

Really enjoyed our stay in Dublin. Loved the Harding Hotel, it had all that we needed.
Excellent facilities. We did not need to go out of the hotel on the first eve, there was a place to dine for dinner, bar, entertainment.
The first night was a little noisy due to being next to the cathedral (bells) boiler heating noisy. We were use to the noise by the second night. As it was in the town this was understandable.

Short but lovely stay
I loved the location, the super friendly staff and the overall atmosphere. One day they set up Halloween decoration and I had a lovely chat with the gentleman at the reception desk about the traditional Irish vs. modern Halloween customs.

Ideal location for immersing yourself in history and great food
What a fabulous stay. Right on the edge of Temple Bar and across the street from Christchurch, the location was perfect for exploring on foot. The staff was amazing… quick to respond to concerns and questions. The room, though small by American standards, was well appointed and organized. Our 5th floor room even had a peekaboo view of the Cathedral. And a fabulous bonus was the restaurant, Darkey Kelly’s. Delicious food and fun music!

I have travelled to Ireland a few times and coming to the Harding is like coming "home".
I do love the location. An area of history and convenient access to the city. But the staff of the Harding is the cherry on the parfait! They welcome you with friendliness and attention to your needs. I have traveled a few times to Ireland and the Harding staff always make me feel "at home" in a good way! The adjoining restaurant, the Copper Kettle, is excellent in all ways - the food and the service.
Can't think of a thing!

Would definitely stay here again.
Everything went very well. Staff were all very polite, friendly and courteous. The accommodation was clean and the beds very comfortable. The room had all the facilities that would be required for a stay. The bar was very lively and had plenty of choice of drinks and a very good bar menu. The location was ideal for exploring Dublin.
Nothing I can think off.

Great location and Staff. Room was a good size.
The central location of the hotel is very good and with an easy walk to many of Dublin's attractions. The restaurant is conveniently accessible through the lobby, clean, affordable and with excellent food options. The hotel has a well-run breakfast service run through the restaurant and it offered up an excellent selection of breakfast options. I was quite pleased that the room had a safe and fridge. This is something I normally expect in hotel rooms, but I have found that they are not something always available in Irish hotels. The staff at the hotel were exceptional!
There is a pub located on site, During the times we were there, it was always busy. We had a room located on the 4th floor with a window overlooking the patio area of a pub but we were not sure this was tied to the pub in the hotel or a separate business. It made it extremely noisy at night. You will see from the photo I posted there was little by way of a room view and the patio below could be quite congested which resulted in a high noise level.
