Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge
Reception was extremely accommodating! I left a suitcase behind on accident and they helped me to coordinate a courier service for sending it home. The breakfast was delicious as well. The Celtic Nights is a must-see. It was a major plus to be able to just go upstairs to the hotel after the event ...

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection
Staff were wonderful. Warm, friendly and helpful. Room was, frankly, a disgrace. Looking up at bare bulbs due to no lampshade. Curtain rail covered in rust. Mould on the ceiling. Window handle broken. Toilet bowl yellow
