A great location near Temple Bar neighborhood that suited our one-night stay in Dublin

The location was great as ith was within walking distance to the lively Temple Bar neighborhood, and the bus stop. We only stayed one night as we needed a place to stay before our flight left the following day. So this met our needs. The entrance was also very charming, and it had a lively pub and restaurant attached.

A lovely gem in old town in the middle of the city!

It was great to have such a fun bar with live music every night on the premises. Also good to have a nice restaurant on he property when arriving travel weary and hungry. Great, helpful staff. Roo was quiet even though the bar was lively.

Great location, friendly staff.

Check in staff were very helpful and welcoming.my dinner at the bistro was delicious.

Those steps down to the lift are awkward with luggage. The bathroom in 303 smelt incredibly damp. It was clean but as it had been closed up before my arrival the damp odour was very apparent. I kept the demister on and door open and that helped a lot. The room is an odd shape, so moving about the room is awkward, especially with an open suitcase.

Wonderful first time staying at the Harding Hotel in Dublin with our family.

This hotel is so conveniently located. We walked to St Patrick's, Guiness Storehouse, Temple Bar bars, the GPO, and St. Steven's Green. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. The staff was super friendly and we really appreciated an amazingly fast elevator. Having Darky Kelly's right next door was wonderful. Would love to visit again.

I booked a single room for myself, it was so much bigger than I expected! The room even had a fridge which was great for me! The staff were attentive and always greeted you with a smile. I'll be staying here again on my next visit to Dublin.

Fabulous

Good location if you know your way around the main areas of the city centre. Lovely breakfast. Easy to control the heat of the shower. The controllable thermostat meant the room temperature was always comfortable. They were understanding about gluten contamination for coeliacs and I had a lovely breakfast of an omelette and an avocado mash, with gluten free bread that was oven warmed because they couldn't toast it as the toaster was used with regular bread. Good WiFi.

There was a light on the wall over the headboard that made it uncomfortable to sit up in the bed. The table and chair in the middle of the floor took away quite a bit of space from a room that wasn't very big to begin with. I'd suggest looking at finding a way to place a smaller, square table against a wall to make the room more spacious. The light in the bathroom wasn't bright enough and didn't really light up the shower much. A shower door would be better than a curtain. Some water splashed onto the floor while showering.

Location ✅ Comfort ✅ Elaine & staff ✅

The welcome from Elaine was exceptional. Smooth and helpful and made us feel right at home. The room was spacious. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we could wish for. The location is spot on for Temple Bar and restaurants yet quietly away from it all for a great nights sleep. The breakfast next morning was served by welcoming happy staff who were attentive and helpful. Thank you breakfast team.

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.

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.

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.
