We stayed for three nights at the 3* Temple Bar Hotel, Dublin a couple of years ago and enjoyed our visit to this hotel and city.
********************
SITUATION
The hotel is located on Fleet Street, Dublin, right on the edge of the Temple Bar area - ideal for pubs, clubs restaurants and very importantly shopping and sightseeing.
The river Liffey with O'Connell Bridge and Ha'Penny Bridge are a few minutes walk away as are Trinity College and the Bank of Ireland building.
The prime shopping districts of Henry Street and Grafton Street are also a few minutes walk away.
********************
FACILITIES
130 Bedrooms Non Smoking Rooms Available Lifts Terrace Restaurant Rendezvous Lounge and Cocktail Bar Buskers Bar Meeting Rooms (accommodating up to 75 people) Parking can be arranged (at special rates) nearby
********************
RESTAURANT
The restaurant seats seventy people comfortably and the conservatory style glass roof gives it a bright and airy feel.
Breakfast was waiter service with a 'full cooked Irish' included in the multi choice menu. The Irish Breakfast was well cooked, nicely presented, very filling and tasted great.
We stayed on a Bed and Breakfast basis, so I can't really comment on the quality and ambience of the restaurant either at lunch time or in the evening for dinner. However the menus displayed outside looked very inviting and reasonably priced.
The restaurant is open from 7a.m. until 10.30p.m.
********************
RECEPTION
Registering and checking in at reception was simple and easy, an imprint of a credit card was taken, we were given a description of the hotel facilities, directions to our room and invited to enjoy our stay.
********************
GUEST BEDROOMS
We stayed in a standard room which was tastefully decorated in cream and blue, it was a fairly large room furnished with twin beds, wardrobe (with full length mirror), bedside tables, dressing table with stool, coffee table and two lounge style chairs.
There was a stand on the dressing table with tourist information leaflets and room service menus etc.
The en suite bathroom was large and well appointed with bath with shower over, WC, washbasin, electric shaver point and a very large mirror over the washbasin.
Towels and toiletries were supplied and replaced on a daily basis.
Lighting in both the bathroom and the bedroom were excellent.
********************
SUMMARY
This is a fairly large hotel, part of the Tower Hotel Group, and is very well appointed for its three star rating.
All the members of staff we came into contact with were very helpful and friendly.
All areas of the hotel appear clean and well maintained.
It is ideally situated for a city break, other than taking the open top tourist bus tour, we were able to explore the sights on foot.
Some rooms can get a bit noisy late at night owing to the close proximity to the pubs and clubs of the Temple Bar area. Buskers, the hotels own pub, has live music late into the night - it might be an idea to request a room away from this side of the hotel if you're an early to bed type. The entrance to Buskers is independent from the hotel entrance.

Your opening sentence could have been me talking - I also stayed there for three nights a couple of years ago. I take your point about the music noise - our room was directly over the function rooms. Just when we thought it had all died down, we were treated to the sound of drunks outside, but be fair, they were British drunks!
