Harding Hotel, Dublin

Office staff was exceptionally friendly, courteous and informative. Natalie was exceptional.

Tuesdays band in the pub was just too loud and quite honestly, not good either.

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.

The Harding Hotel ticked all the boxes which are important for me: located close to restaurants, etc., comfortable rooms, quiet and calm atmosphere, friendly staff, and good value for money. I also like the 'old school' style which I find charming compared to chain hotels.

The bed was a bit soft for me but may suit others.

I recently stayed at the Harding Hotel on a solo business trip and had a fantastic experience. The hotel is ideally located, making it convenient for both work and exploring the city. My room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a productive and relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and efficient, always ready to assist with any requests. Despite being in a lively area, the room was quiet, ensuring a great night’s sleep. The adjoining Darkey Kelly’s pub was a great bonus, offering excellent food and a warm atmosphere to unwind after a busy day. To top it all off, I had the pleasure of encountering Tommy Johnson—undoubtedly the best Batman in Ireland—who added an extra touch of character and entertainment to my stay. Overall, the Harding Hotel provided great value, comfort, and top-notch hospitality. I’d highly recommend it to anyone traveling for business or leisure. I’ll definitely be returning on future trips!

I stay here 3 or 4 times a year for gigs mainly.The location is savage the rooms are clean and warm. The pub downstairs is great, lovely food and savage pints too. And the staff are super nice

Nothing it's an amazing hotel.

Location

My Husband and I stayed 2 nights The hotel is situated in a great Location very close to everything.The room was very clean very comfortable bed. Friendly staff and helpful .Enjoyed the Restaurant and bar on site the food is very good. Will be staying at this hotel when next in Dublin.

Excellent staff and customer service, great location, convenient parking Very comfortable.

Everything! The location, the very friendly & helpful staff, a bit of old-fashioned atmosphere (coming from Australia, we love that!), Darkey Kelly's bar with live music. We had a spacious and comfortable room and a lovely breakfast in the morning. And - the location! Walking distance to the Guinness Storehouse, easy walk to the shops, the Temple Bar area, and the bus stop to catch the bus to the airport. Would happily stay here again.

It would be nice if there were bigger mugs or cups in the rooms for a decent sized cup of tea.

Good location, most attractions within walking distance... Grafton St 15 minutes walk too.. Staff were friendly and helpful.Bed was comfortable.

Excellent location few minutes away from noisy Temple Bar. Hotel has a pub attached and a caffee. Both serving great food.

Attic room nice but with wind windows rattled a bit.

Very central location, really lovely staff, and a cosy bar attached.

Nothing really.

Good location, close to main shopping and restaurants areas by walking distance. Great value for the money.

Don't recall of anything significant.

Staff: friendly and helpful; location: fantastic. a nice quiet neighborhood just around the corner from the hustle and bustle and fun; restaurant: wonderful menu with lots of choices; value for money: outstanding.

I liked it all very much.

Very central. Enjoyed the pub meals, entertaiment

Right downtown. Easy to get to and close to walk to all the sights the Darky Kelly is in the building. Great pub with good food and music every night.

Nothing. Would stay here again

A bit pricy but good Orange. Was awful

Orange juice

Location is amazing. Breakfast was quick and huge proportion. Staff was all lovely. You couldn't hear the music from the bar in the rooms.

I wish I knew that Irish churches ring their bells all night, but there's nothing the hotel could do to change that.

We were allowed to check in early around 11am that allowed us to freshen up before visiting the city

The staff! The front of house reception guys when we arrived were super professional,friendly and very funny..they appeared to be really happy in their work and gave a great first impression...this impression continued throughout esp the professional and hardworking staff in the bar. Super location..busy but very central.

Just small things really..Light sleepers might struggle with the proximity of the very reg Christchurch bells throughout the night so ear plugs would work...in exchange we d a great view of Christchurch from our room though. Our room was a little small if you were staying for several days or had a lot of luggage and little dark if you wanted to read..but warm and cozy. Also at breakfast the tray the full irish came on was a little cumbersome for the small table as we had two, but breakfast itself was delicious

This was a fabulous find! Excellent location right across the street from Christ Church Cathedral and close to St Patrick's Cathedral, Trinity College, lots of pubs, and many other sites to see. We walked everywhere, and it was super easy to get around. We shared a room with three twin beds. There is a refrigerator and a hair dryer in the room. We did the breakfast included option, and you get coupons to choose your breakfast from the attached restaurant. All staff was attentive to our every need. Very friendly people, and our room was cleaned every day. Coffee and tea provided in the room as well. You will not find a better location or price in Dublin! Would definitely stay here again. We loved it. We were in room 307.

Great room. Breakfast was excellent. Enjoyed the pub and live music. Area was very convenient to all the sites. I very much appreciated the early check in after a long flight.

Bed was a little lumpy, but not terrible.

The location of the hotel was fantastic. It was close enough to the city centre to access all of the sights that we wanted to visit i.e. Temple Bar and the Guinness Factory yet it wasn't noisy. The staff were friendly, checking in and out was simple. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room

Breakfast - the food was lovely, however the way the food was served was questionable. My wife ordered scrambled eggs and toast and the toast was delivered about 10 minutes before the eggs. Sounds a bit picky but it is my only criticism.

The was a lot of outside noise from police cars

The staff, the cleanliness, the size of the room all fabulous. The location is wonderful. The breakfast was tasty and the lively bar was great fun on both evenings, even after returning from comedy in vicar street on the Saturday night. The food in the bar was also exceptional.

The bed was a little uncomfortable, the edge of the single divan on my partner's side, down the centre of our double bed, was sticking up considerably when we were in the bed, so not a double bed, as I couldn't roll over to my partner, but then all hotels stick two singles together, just in most of them, the edges of the divans stay more level.

Great location, fab breakfast and staff were outstanding. thank you.

A really lovely hotel. Staff were all so welcoming and nice and extremely helpful. Having the pub on site was a great bonus. Brilliant craic and music. My husband did have a breakfast and said it was so nice and very generous portion. Great location. Would highly recommend and will return xx

Nothing at all

From entering the hotel to leaving the staff were fantastic very welcoming very friendly and very helpful definitely will be returning here such a lovely hotel with a cracking pub onsite too😊

We loved everything about it

Attached to a great bar and dining room for breakfast

Location,few minutes away from the Olympia which is where we where going.Very close to city centre.Lovely big quiet room.Staff really lovely.Great value.

Good location, comfortable bed, great facilities and great staff

Could be a bit noisy when the church bells rang early in the morning. Not the hotels fault and didn’t ruin our stay at all.

I chose the Harding Hotel because it looked like an old authentic Dublin hotel rather than a new modern one.

Location was excellent for luas and Olympia theatre where we were going to a concert, five mins walk. Right beside Christchurch cathedral and five mins walk from four courts luas stop. So handy

Love the comfy sizeable rooms. Bed was huge. Food amazing. Breakfast was a fantastic selection and plenty of it.

Great location, lovely staff and clean and comfortable room. A great location for exploring Dublin without being in the centre of it all (but just a few minutes from it!)

Two single beds pushed together does not equal one large double. The groove down the middle of the ‘large double’ was irritating at times.

I loved the location and that Darkey Kelly’s was attached to the hotel. Great pub.

There was a smell in my room from the bathroom. Like a mold smell. The pillows were very flat.

Rooms: have everything that you need. Room was lovely and warm despite freezing temperatures outside. Nice view of cathedral. Bar: excellent bar (Darkey Kells) attached to hotel downstairs. Location: Marvellous for us. We like a bit of a walk to get to favourite places in the city centre and Phoenix Park.

Nothing specific that I can think off. The layout is a bit quirky with stairs up and down, so it might not be great for people with mobility issues, but there are all the necessary lifts to make all areas accessible.

Very good staff excellent

Everything.

Location handy for buses and Dublin Express. 15 mins walk to Tara Street station. Milk sachets in the fridge, pleasant breakfast 8am to midday, great front-desk staff. Comfortable bed with four pillows, electric sockets you don't have to search for, bathroom fine with hot shower.

Single room was fine for me, but some might say a little small.

Fantastic location within a short walk to a lot of great places, friendly and helpful staff, although the breakfast people did make me walk up four flights of stairs to get the tiny piece of paper you have to present to get your included breakfast (the lift was out of service at the time but came back online quickly). The bar downstairs was the highlight, Darkey Kelly's, I went to several pubs around the area and this was my favourite (great staff, good vibe, nice food and not as crowded as some of the more tourist-oriented ones in Temple Bar).

OK, I'll say up front I was happy with the hotel and would stay again for sure. But if I'm being picky the bathroom was renovated by the worst tradesman who ever laid a tile or caulked a gap. And the shower was clearly the winning entrant in Europe's apparently fiercely contested competition to see who can invent the most baffling method of turning on a shower (and the reward for effort ratio was low - after some time working it out the pressure wasn't amazing). Oh, and the wi-fi worked about half the time. But I didn't care that much, you don't come to Dublin to sit in your room! Did I mention there was a brilliant pub right downstairs?

The Harding Hotel is a fantastic place to stay in Dublin! Location: Perfectly situated in the heart of historic Dublin, right on Fishamble Street, near Christchurch Cathedral. It’s within walking distance of Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, and other key attractions, yet still offers a peaceful and comfortable stay. Room: Spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the essentials—comfy beds, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and even a fridge and tea/coffee-making facilities. Some rooms offer beautiful views of Christchurch Cathedral. Bar: Darkey Kelly’s Bar downstairs is a highlight! Amazing atmosphere with live music every night, a great selection of craft beers, whiskeys, and cocktails, plus delicious food. A must-visit spot whether you're staying at the hotel or just passing by. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Dublin!
