Perfect location for exploring Dublin. Well equipped , modern rooms. Staff friendly and helpful. Only negative would be that even with the windows closed a lot of external noise can be heard, I was woken multiple times by very loud seagulls!

Really liked this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, quiet and bright. All amenities were provided. The dishwasher in our room didn’t work but the front desk staff did everything they could to get a technician in to fix it while we were there and when they weren’t able to, they removed our dirty dishes and replaced them with clean ones and offered to continue cleaning them for us (which we kindly declined). Instead we were given the opportunity for a late check out at no cost. Any time we approached the front desk staff for assistance, they were helpful and friendly. While we never had the opportunity to eat at the restaurant, the menu looked delicious. The gym was small but well equipped. The location of the hotel was fabulous - close to attractions, shopping, transportation, groceries. Overall, our stay at Zanzibar was great!

The room and location was fantastic but the throbbing bass noise from underneath until 1am, then the huge building work starting at 7am, really means I’d think twice before booking this hotel again. It’s a shame as the rooms are amazing!

I checked in after a long day of traveling. I dropped the bags and went to get some food. When I came back the room was very cold. I couldn’t get the temp. console to work - their technician came and vacuumed the filter through an access panel which he opened in the ceiling. Lots of dust. Yeuch. I waited to see if the room warmed up but it just got colder. It was getting late, was in my pjs, and the solution offered was to put me in another room or get a portable heater. Exhausted, after 24 hours traveling, I opted for the heater. The heater struggled to heat the now freezing room and was too noisy to leave on when trying to sleep. Throughout, there’s a loud buzzing in the ceiling that sounds like an angry alarm clock, it’s intermittent, then becomes regular, then buzzes randomly. Between that and how cold it is I can’t get to sleep and I’m freezing! I’ve had to put my coat on the bed to stay warm. It’s 1:35 am and while I expect outside noise in the city it’s the interior hotel/ceiling/pipe/electric noises and cold that are keeping me awake. A while ago someone began hammering. Maybe it’s another guest trying to get to the source of the noise? My first experience with Zanzibar Locke was such a positive one that’s why I returned. This time, hmmm, not so much. I’m not sure I’d recommend Zanzibar to a fellow long-haul traveler. Great location though and the room is clean and very nicely laid out. Thank you.
