Great place to stay for the convenience of temple bar and other places to walk to eat and see, close enough to Guinness and Jameson for a 20 minute walk. Great service from staff and the appliances and kitchenette were great, bed was quite stiff but that’s alright. Good deal for Dublin.

We were in Dublin for 11 days and the location of the hotel was perfect. We were able to walk to Teeling, Jamison, and Guinness all under 30 minutes. Temple Bar is less then a 5 minute walk and walking to locations for day tour pickups were all less then 15 minutes. Plenty of pubs and shopping around. My only negative is the hotel needs to habe better instructions for use of the washer and dryer in the units. Staff was very friendly and we would definitely stay here again.

The staff was nice. The room seemed to be newly remodeled. The ceiling looked unfinished. The bathroom sink clogged as soon as we used it, but they fixed it same day. There were no utensils provided. The location was great as it was near all the tourist sights.

Overall we had a really good stay at Zanzibar Locke. The room was really nicely laid out and appointed. Exactly what you see online - fresh and modern with a great bathroom reno. Really nice and spacious cafe and fresh and light common areas. Steps away from Ha’penny Bridge, it was a perfect place from which to explore the city. Great staff - friendly and helpful.

This is a great hotel room/self-catering apartment with facilities including a hob, dishwasher and washing machine. There was lots of space and the room and bathroom were in good condition. The hotel is well-placed for getting around Dublin and there are lots of lovely eating establishments nearby.

Location and amenities, staff and service were ALL amazing. The ONLY negative at all was the construction of a new building right across the alley that had super bright lights on all night and workers starting at 7am. Not the hotels fault at all just inconvenient.

Wonderful location and it was very nice to have the kitchenette. Super walkable! The bed and pillows were VERY firm- just a warning for anyone who doesn’t tolerate that well (I had difficulty sleeping). The only downside is that they don’t service the room daily, which we would have preferred.
