"Wonderful, warm and welcoming!"

Our stay at The Arlington Temple Bar was fantastic. The reception staff wer friendly as were all the staff. The Irish breakfast was a treat. Our bedroom (suite) was lovely. Very clean and the bed very comfortable. Only downside was because we were at the front of the hotel it was noisy because of the main street. I would definately recommend this hotel to all my friends and family.

"fantastic weekend"

First time in Dublin, The Arlington Hotel was lovely, the reception staff very friendly and very helpful, we upgraded to the suite which was absolutely fab, fab view of the bustling Temple B ar very comfortable and extremely spacious room, perhaps starting to become a little dated in decor but still very nice and bathroom very clean but tired. Food was great service was good and the live band and dance show in the hotel was fantastic.

"Value for money"

This hotel is in an excellent location but the room we had was a bit tired - no bath panel (the tiles had obviously fallen off) and one day our room was not cleaned. However, the one member of staff who was on duty tried her best to get us clean towels and cups. However, overall we were very pleased with it - after all we were on sleeping there and the price was really good!

"Good value, comfortable hotel in an ideal location in central Dublin."

Handy for Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, Christ Church, and within walking reasonable walking distance of all city centre sights (Guinness Storehouse only 15-20 mins on foot).

"Great location and staff but needs some updating"

All in all a good deal for the price (£123 for 3 nights), but the lift was down for a couple of days and it seems to be a chronic problem that will require renovations. Staff was great about retrieving luggage but was difficult for my friend with hip problems to get to the 3rd floor. Hot water in the shower was inconsistent. Otherwise room was comfortable with windows open for fresh air and a radiator to heat the room quickly.

"Great Location but all a bit jaded and in need of renovation"

You couldn`t ask for a better location on the Southside! .......It`s all a bit jaded and in need of a good overhaul. Staff were very helpful and friendly but the lift was out of action for entire stay, no net curtains at window which was opposite office block, so no privacy unless you drew the curtains!..... Furnishings were very tired and well used.........All in all,.. average but good price and superb location....I would stay there again but wouldn`t expect too much !

"Faulty Towers springs to mind!"

I`m so glad that we didn`t pay the ?29.95 per head for dinner and show, we found alternative eating elsewhere much better, the second night we stayed we did eat in the hotel bar area to watch the live irish dancing of which there were 2 people who danced for around 15 minutes. They also had a guitarist playing in the hotel which was good.The room however was very basic with dodgy tiling on the walls, paint coming off the walls in the bedroom and their version of a double bed was 2 single beds pushed together!! Wasn`t very impressed. However it was centrally located and very near the main temple bar area.

"Nice hotel close by to Temple Bar, bar/restaurant staff very friendly, reception OK"

Only issue on arrival to the hotel room the room smelt of vomit (not nice) this was the only room available (YEAH RIGHT) but I guess you cant blame them for some drunk who stayed the night before.

"Best place to stay in Temple Bar"

I am so glad I booked this hotel. It is very central, great staff, nice rooms and lovely bar and restaurant area with entertainment every night. On a very quiet Monday evening, it was the liveliest and most welcome place to be. Hightly recommended.

"Great location, "

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights - the room was clean, suitable size and available when I arrived a couple of hours early. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is great, you can walk to almost anywhere if you like getting out and about! The hotel is noisy at night because if its close proximity to Temple Bar. Breakfast was fab with friendly service. Only downside is the beds - they aren`t the most comfortable to sleep in, and the one I had dipped in the middle :(Other than this, it was a great stay!!

"Location, staff and food excellent. Good value for money."

Could not fault the location. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Hotel could do with a bit of redecoration but it was very clean and good value for money. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

"Reception Staff - VERY HELPFUL AND PLEASANT"

Superb position - rooms good and as we got a twin room (no breakfast) for under £70.00, I think that it was a very good deal for central Dublin. I would have no problem with rebooking.Mike - Gloucester

"Great Location and Helpful Staff"

Great location, very helpful staff and the room was very clean. The room had a double and also a single bed and these were comfortable. This hotel is perfect if you want to enjoy the Temple Bar nightlife which our party did. Great for shopping too only a short five/ten minute walk to the main shopping areas. I would stay at this hotel again if I return to Dublin. As a warning if you want a quite location then this hotel is not the best for this as you can hear the partying in Temple Bar at about 2am.

"The Best Of Everything!!!!"

The Arlington Temple Bar has everything: great location, great staff, excellent bar,food and entertainment all in one convenient place. It is located very close to some great night spots and resturants. But not close enough to have any problem with clubs that close very late such as noise, (very quiet area). The staff was great room and common areas were well kept. The front desk staff was also very helpful.

"Excellent location, easy reach of temple bar and Grafton Street"

Good hotel, with very clean, large room. We were on the first floor, main road side and above the bar. The road is busy but did not cause us any problem. There is a very large window that could do with a net curtain as everyone on the double decker bus were waving at us when we had the curtains open! You could hear the live music , but this went quiet at about 1am, so again did not disburb us. Overall we would definately stay there again as the positive definately outweigh the negs.
