Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed here for a week while visiting for a wedding. The hotel was incredibly accommodating from the moment we stepped inside. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable on the area. Only thing I didn’t realize was the room I booked didn’t include a mini fridge which was a surprise but not a deal breaker. We missed our flight to leave and had to book an additional night, the front desk staff was incredible and got us into our room quickly and early. Would absolutely stay again for the staff, location, and cleanliness."
