Ireland winery accommodation

We had a great stay at Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection. We were able to check in early after arriving in the city, which was very much appreciated and made the start of our visit much easier. The room was spacious with tall ceilings and overlooked Fleet Street, which gave it a nice sense of openness and a great view of the lively area below. The location is excellent, with many great places to eat just steps away. It is also within easy walking distance of Trinity College Dublin and the National Gallery of Ireland, making it a convenient base for exploring the city. Overall, a comfortable stay in a very central location.

Clean room. Right in the middle of the city.

The two bedroom suite was perfect for our family of four (two adults, 13 and 10 year old kids). The restaurant was excellent, and we had great service. The location was perfect as a jumping off point to explore Dublin, with the red line LUAS next to the property, and proximity to stores and family-friendly restaurants.

Check-in = horrible - we did not feel "welcome" at all. Room - overall, very good - a coupe of issues - but nothing major - just disappointing issues for a 4-star hotel. Bar food - not great - was not hot enough - felt very "rushed". Check-out - whilst not as bad as check-in - it was still not great. 1 big shock - hotel charges €15 for parking over-night. I find that unacceptable for a 4 star hotel that is effectively in the middle of a field. Overall feeling/comment on stay: It was abundantly clear from our stay that the hotel was being run as a conveyor belt hotel – i.e.: get them in, get them out and do the least amount as possible as we can – but still over-charge them for everything. Grant it – at the end of the day – it’s an “airport hotel” – and those sort of hotels have now made it very clear that service is going to be sub-standard. But my issue here was that it was a four star hotel – so immediately, and rightly, my expectations are set at four star level. But when all you experience is 3-star service – then it just ruins the stay. Would I recommend it – yes and no. If all you need is a 1 night base by the airport – then fine (provided the price is right) – but if you are looking to stay longer and are going away as a couple/romantic getaway – then avoid it – you’ll be bitterly disappointed.

Parking was off site

Great overnight stop close to Terminal 2
