Harding Hotel, 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.

The breakfast was great, the pub always crowded at night and with life music.

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.

Good

Friendly

Our dinner was very good. The bar had a fun atmosphere with live Irish music, while the Masters golf tournament was on their big screens.

Reception experience was excellent, it was the only interaction we had during our stay and it was really friendly and welcoming

Nothing.

First stop in Ireland on a 10 day road trip. Very helpful and welcoming. Great location. Modest comfortable lodging was a very good value. Great pub with music and restaurant!

Room was excellent

Even in the Dublin context a tad expensive compared with previous stays

Kaisha on front desk was great and all the staff were good. Nice breakfast as always.

Great location and food in both restaurants was fantastic.

Lovely front desk staff. Very helpful and kind. Excellent location. Huge room! Perfect for my nephew and I to enjoy Dublin for the weekend. Great to be connected to Darkey Kelley's for music and a great Irish pub experience. Ditto the restaurant that was on the other side of the hotel.

Perfect location, clean rooms, friendly staff and good breakfast!

Comfortable rooms. Pub downstairs was excellent. Best Guinness Beef Stew

Nothing

In the night it was just a bit cold, and I might have not used the conditioner properly, otherwise, all good

This is a small cozy hotel. My room was spacious. The location is convenient to everything and the price is very reasonable. The staff was warm and welcoming. My go to hotel in Dublin

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.

Great position for going into town but just outside the party zone. Room comfy and warm, good breakfast. Bar with live music and food does stairs Tey for a room 3rd floor up and at back if you're not in the bar til late. Would stay again for sure.

Nothing.

The reception staff were excellent especially Tony

Step into bathroom was odd

Location was excellent. Rooms could do with updating.

Overall, it was ok. Gent on reception was really nice and helpful.

Location, staff

We were very satisfied with everything. Staff was kind, food excellent, the location the best. Thank you for nice weekend. I hope, see you again.

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!

Cleanliness and location

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.

Nothing

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! Dingle Slea Head Tours 👍

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
