I was surprised that the room didn't have A/C it was quite hot in there and they only had one small fan to cool off with. I asked for a 2nd fan and they didn't have one. The receptionists were not very cooperative. The room also had a lack of privacy, there was a balconcy of another room right in front of our window so we had to keep the blinds closed at all times. It was also noisy at night. We paid 5* price for 1* quality.

Hotel location is nicely located; walking to attractions very easy. Our street-facing room provided bird’s eye view of the street’s happenings, and we quickly got accustomed to street noise and the bells of Christ Church. The very bustling pub next door is host to nightly live music and attracts many patrons, which adds to the din of the street.

Brilliant location, very clean and good bed.
Would be ideal in cooler months. Not suited for heatwave conditions as no aircon and limited window opening.
Would be happy to go back at lower outside temps.
Be carful with room window outlook. Ours has zero privacy across a rooftop to an external doorway. Sheer curtains would help.

So disappointed in this stay over $300 a night for what I can only compare to hostel quality. Across a church where the bells ring constantly, thru the night waking you up at 2, 3, 4am etc. Heavy drug use area; saw men smoking out of a glass pipe & woman having a “moment” taking a glass bottle & smashing it into the ground. Room was super old, outdated, dirty. Carpet was disgusting, torn & coming up in the middle of the room & coming out of the bathroom. Bathroom was the worst; barely any counter space, TWO facets for cold or burning hot water, the facet heads come out 1” from the back of the sink so anytime you use them the entire countertop floods getting all of your things wet. Only half of the shower head worked & had water coming out, bad water pressure (had to go 4 days w/o washing my hair) also only an all in one shampoo/body wash bottle in there. Tub doesn’t drain so you have to be quick, it comes up to your shins before you know it. Bugs were also constantly coming out of the drain no matter how many times we try to wash them down. The tv didn’t work, the only channels were music ones. The room was also ungodly hot the window barely opened for any air & the little fan doesn’t do much. Other people would leave their room doors open to try & create a cross breeze out of desperation. This combined with the bells, hard pillows & thin walls, where you hear everything, I only slept 3hrs a night. I would rather never travel again than stay in the hotel.

Amazing location, tons of stuff walking distance from the hotel. Could have used AC and a fridge in the room because we were there probably the hottest days of the year lol but other than that loved it. And if you are into Handel's music at all St Michan's Church of Ireland is a 10min walk and has an organ he used to practice and perfect the messiah. And if you leave the windows open you can hear the church bells from accross the street

The room was smaller than expected. Our room was on ground floor and had no windows but had a skylight. Problem was there was no way to stop light coming in. As it was spring and sun coming up early would get woken up by the light. Suspect because room booked through booking website and not directly that the less quality rooms are allocated this way. All that aside the hotel is well maintained has very helpful and friendly staff. Its location is perfect for Temple Bar night life. If skylight was left ajar you could hear nearby pub but when closed no noise at all. Easy walk to many other attractions There is an excellent cafe next door also. I would definitely stay at Hansel’s again and hope to get a different room.

My sister and her husband stayed there as well and their room was updated. It was cleaner.

The coffee pot was cheap and only did a tiny bit of coffee at a time.

The hotel is just opposite the Dublin City Council side, facing the River Liffey, making it easy to remember. It's also just a few meters from the medieval Christ Church Cathedral, which is also within spitting distance of St Patrick's Cathedral. This historic hotel had been upgraded with modern bathrooms & amenities. No A/C, but a fan and a water percolator are provided. There's also a big glass bottle with water provided & you could refill it from the cold water dispenser in the main alleys where your rooms are located. No need to buy bottled water for needs! Hot and cold water pressure are great. Most bathrooms in Europe have a fixed shower glass that covers only half of the stall, which causes water to splash outside. Use towels to prevent a slippery floor, and dry them out in the heated towel hanger (there's a main switch for it). Bring UK adapters for all your gadgets, as some AC outlets have only USB-A ports, which are not compatible with newer USB-C devices. Rooms lack tables when eating your take-out goodies. There were only 3 clothes hangers. But there's also a safe, coffee maker (pods are Nespresso but different, so ask at the front desk). Elevators are small, but their WiFi is quick. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet area of Temple Bar, so there's no frenzy to alight or get to your rides. Finally, for quick & delicious meals, get them at the Copper Alley Bistro, part of the Harding Hotel, just a few feet up Fishamble St. Forget Mario's Takeaway!

I wish hotels would show photos of the front of the building when they have 4/5 big steps up to the front door with no ramps. Then more steps to the lift, 😞☹️I’m not sure if it was bad timing for us but, the lift wasn’t working to come down, the next next day it wasn’t working at all, the technician was there but only go the lift to work to go up🙄 again the lift didn’t work to come down from your floor. The shower is over a large bath isn’t for everyone, the shower head was too high too big. No shampoo or conditioner. Not a hotel for elderly or people with disabilities.

This hotel is in a great location right outside of the Temple Bar area. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The shower was a little awkward because the half panel of glass that was in the shower let a lot of water out, so we just put towels down to help absorb the shower water. We didn’t eat or drink at the hotel restaurant, but it looked really nice. As I’ve read in previous reviews, the church bells are slightly annoying, ringing all hours of the night, but after all of the walking and sightseeing you do in Dublin, you should hopefully be able to sleep through that noise. The pub next-door can be a little loud, but that was our favorite pub in Dublin. Randomly two nights in a row, the fire alarm in our room went off for no reason, and when we inquired about it in the morning, they said they weren’t sure what happened, but that they were looking into it. It wasn’t something to get upset about, but it made it hard to fall asleep those two nights. The hotel is a half a block up from the river and practically across the street from the Dublin castle. It has great walk ability and the bus stop coming from the airport was only a few minutes away from the hotel. We would definitely stay again. Check out the pub next-door, Darkey Kelly’s, and have a pint.

Worse to come…silverfish in the room. Eeeughhh. Told reception and tbh didn’t seem overly concerned. Said cleaners had done a deep clean after I had advised of the silverfish. I know what a deep clean is and this wasn’t. Not sure this wud actually get rid of the silverfish. So spent another night with them..

Stayed for a few nights with my friend as part of our girls trip. Upon arriving they let us keep our suitcases there so we could explore a bit before check-in. We asked about vegan friendly places for food and drink and were given lots of options. It was very central to all the things that we wanted to go and see. The room was really clean and we had a nice view down the road to the river Liffey. Would absolutely love to stay again the next time I visit Dublin.

I appreciate that so much I was able to settle into my room take a hot shower which helped so much. This location is centrally located from all the attractions. Everything I wanted to see and do was within walking distance anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. The room was very clean and nice. Thank you for a wonderful stay I will be back.

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. We booked expecting a clean, comfortable room based on the photos and price (around $200/night). What we walked into was completely different.

There were multiple hairs on the bed sheets, visible dirt on the bed and floors, and even a bug in the sink. We tried brushing some of it off at first, but quickly realized the room had clearly not been properly cleaned. It was uncomfortable and unacceptable.

We reported it immediately. The receptionist apologized and told us a refund “would not be a problem,” explaining she would confirm with the manager. Based on that reassurance, we decided to leave.

After we departed, management claimed their inspections found no issues and denied that a refund had been suggested. Being told that what we clearly saw “wasn’t there” felt dismissive and dishonest.

The hotel was not at capacity, so our leaving did not prevent them from rebooking the room. Our experience also aligns with other reviews mentioning cleanliness concerns and misleading photos.

Between the poor condition of the room and the refusal to take accountability, this stay was extremely disappointing. I would strongly recommend staying elsewhere.

This hotel is ideally located in the Temple Bar area. It's a couple blocks from the actual Temple Bar, which means there are far fewer crowds but it's only a couple minutes' walk to be in the middle of everything. There were several restaurants and cafes nearby. The room was comfortable and had a combination of upgrades (what looked like new headboards) and worn items (carpet). There was construction happening one floor below us, but that was limited to normal working hours and not an issue. The only real frustration I had was check-in. We dropped our bags at 9:30am and were told they would call us if the room was ready before 3:00. We came back and sat in the bar across from the front desk to wait starting at 2:30, and I still had to ask the after 3:00 if the room was ready and was told it wasn't yet.

Room was OK.... some evidence of poor housekeeping. Silverfish insects in the bathroom

No way to wash hands in warm water as the basin had only hot (which was scalding hot) or cold options and there was no plug provided to allow for filling the basin with warm water for washing hands, or rinsing out small clothing items.

Bedding was clean and appeared fresh. The window didn't fully close as the locking mechanism was broken so there was always air coming in effectively moving the curtains. Staff was friendly enough but not overly helpful when we asked about getting a plug for the bathroom basin.

Where to begin, the photos you see on the website are not at all accurate in our experience. Our room was very dated, our shower did not drain properly, we had flies in our room as well as black mold growing next to the radiator. My partner had a severe allergic reaction to the mold. The staff on night shift were very apologetic and bleached the wall for us after viewing my partners swollen face. There were no other rooms available due to the marathon. We checked out in the morning and had to pay for a new hotel at a higher rate (as it was last minute). We had no follow up with the hotel and had to not only email but go back multiple times to ensure a refund would be provided. The manager was helpful and ensured a refund will be processed.

The hotel itself was fabulous, staff were amazing and we were able to check in a little bit early. It’s in a really good location near Christchurch. The only draw back is that since it’s so close to the church you can really clearly hear the bells at every hour and half hour. The street is also very noisy at night with cars and people walking home from pubs and the walls are kind of thin. The room is really nice though and the bathroom with the heated towel rack was a plus. 24hr front desk was really nice, especially for our 5:30 am check out time.

Small room with only a skylight way up for natural light. Double bed against wall made it extremely difficult for us to get into bed at night.
Sink was clogged for most of the days, asked for helped multipe days and finally someone unclogged it.
Asked for minor room cleaning - new towels, trash emptied, body wash/shampoo filled - we were told housekeeping is only there from 3:00 to 4:30 - so it would happen when it would happen and we had to wait at a table until it was done. We are not messy people and pick up after ourselves everyday making sure everyitng is put away - and we were told we must have had some stuff on our bed is why our room was only partially made up on one day.
Hair dryer button had to be held down in order to work, and then it heated up so I had to wait for it to cool before drying my hair. Was told that this was a standard hairdryer for the UK, but we didn't have one like that at any of the other 6 locations we stayed at in the UK.
Location was great for walking to many of the area attracting including the train station and the locations where we met with two of our tours.

It was a good property and the staff were great but there was no AC and the restroom was dirty around the ceiling. Everything else was solid.

I would like my refund back honestly as this hotel was not worth the money. The room was focefully created for two twins, barely any walking room for two people, towels torn with threads, staff not accomodating as second day we asked for water for the room and were told only 1 bottle which was in the room first day we checked in. No housekeeping service to room, we were asked to come down to desk to get ice. Day of check in we got in at 6am and sat in lobby till 3:30pm waiting for room. No staff had courtsey to check up on us or ask if we needed water or coffee or need to use restroom. The bathroom sink faucets barely made it to sink so hard to wash or use the faucets. Only 2 in one shampoo available for hair and body but no conditioner or lotion in the room. Rooms shape and set up was such that the person next to wall would bump their head in the wall if they got up in the middle of the night. Pathetic service and room, I would never recommend or ever think about this hotel.

The bed was comfortable (but, I like a soft mattress)- sheets, comforter, & towels were very clean. That said, the carpet was filthy, the wallpaper was peaking off of the walls, & the corners of the room and edges of things were dirty. I had an A/C in my room which helped with the humidity.

Very quiet hotel , you won’t be kept awake by the robust late night activities that occur in true Temple Bar Area.

Great location, bathroom sinks are terrible

This hotel is in a great location and we could easily walk to restaurants, pubs, shopping, yoga studios, and other attractions.

Rooms have plenty of space to spread out, comfortable bed, large bathroom.

Carpet is older and a bit musty. Because there is no AC, tile or other hard flooring would be a better choice.

Biggest cons: Bathroom sink has two separate faucets so you either get scalding or cold water. Faucets were placed too close to the sides of the bowl so you can barely get your hands under to wash. Water pools out onto the back counter. No stopper to fill the sink either. Bathroom wasn’t super clean.

Great location and right next to Darkey Kelly’s pub. Great food and live music. The rooms need an overhaul and the bathrooms require serious updating. I’m unclear why any hotel has bathtubs at this point. No air conditioning. Great and friendly staff. For the price, great place.

Safe. Clean. Small. No air conditioner but there is a desk fan. Neighbors can easily see in. No safe. Limited and bland breakfast options but a nice setting for breakfast.

Great location

First thing was the very late check in. I mean what is going on with 3pm room availability.
Ridiculous. Hire more staff!!
Room was pleasant, but no fridge!!
It’s location is terrific if you want to walk to popular sites. Darkeys right next door was an absolute blast. Typical Irish pub with exceptional service and food.
Syltayed 2 nights to see Dublin City, which did not disappoint. Absolutely loved the Irish hospitality.
