Guest Reviews
- Dominique (9/5): Parfait pour notre arrivée en Irelande! - Emplacement, directement sur la route de la navette de l’aéroport, proximité des attraits touristiques. Il n’y a pas de réception 24h et pour moi c’est un peu insecurisant. Mais nous n’avons pas eu de problèmes. Ça reste un appartement au dessus d’un bar, dans Temple bar 🙃, alors si vous souhaitez vous reposer et relaxer, ce n’est pas un bon choix.

- Dalton (9/5): A great pub with clean rooms and a great staff, centrally located to all the Dublin action! - The Norseman staff were incredibly accommodating and we appreciate it. Our airline lost a bag and amidst operating a bar and restaurant they took the time to make sure our bag was stored away for us. The manager was incredibly helpful. It is a pub in the Temple district so be prepared for noise, but the central location was great and the noise was fine. A very short walk to a ton of pubs, as well as being a great pub in it's own right. I only knocked the facilities slightly on my rating due to the shower being too hot. The staff was able to sort of fix it though, so no big deal.
- King (8/5): -
- Kate (8/5): Really enjoyed and was great for our group. Would stay again - Loved the location, and it was very clean Although we loved the location, it was loud. But.. that’s what you get for going to bed early in the Temple Bar district!
- DULCE (9/5): -
- Rimma (10/5): - Lokalizacja i czystość w pokoju
- Yasmin (9/5): - Tolle Lage mitten im Zentrum. Sehr freundliches Personal.
- Sophie (10/5): Fantastic location for a hen - Great location, big bathroom, comfortable beds, provided ear plugs One bedroom window would not close
- Harrison Westbrook (10/5): - Location was fantastic and value for money was excellent. Got in slightly late and only 1 key per room.
- Naomi (6/5): Hotel in het centrum met weinig rust - De locatie van dit hotel is midden in het centrum en daarom bij alles dichtbij. Het is een kleine kamer waarin net een bed past. De badkamer is klein maar netjes. Het hotel is slecht geïsoleerd. Zelfs met de ramen dicht hoor je alles buiten. Tot laat in de nacht lig je mee te genieten van alle muziek en geschreeuw op straat. Daarna bericht de gemeente met de straten schoon te vegen en lig je nog niet rustig. Een goed hotel als je weinig wil slapen en overal dichtbij wil zitten maar voor je rust kun je beter ergens anders heen gaan.
- Oliver (10/5): Brilliant, would recommend and stay again for sure - Really comfortable and clean with good facilities and in a great location N/A
- Alexander (10/5): -
- Catalina (10/5): Great location - Very clean and stocked with toiletries. Thank you The narrow halls might be an issue for some. But it lets the rooms be just a little bigger than similar hotels. No front desk. Go to bar.
- Rebecca (9/5): We’d stay here again for sure! - We had a great time. You could hear the music and singing from the bar but it didn’t bother us. Great location. Very nice staff!
- Taylor (8/5): -
- Patrizia (8/5): - Posizione centralissima, camera pulita e di dimensioni adeguate. Ci tornerei Bello il lucernario, ma non dà la possibilità di aprire la finestra.
- Dehlia (10/5): -
- patrick (10/5): - Everything! Nothing
- Hannah (8/5): -
- Katja (10/5): Bilo je fantastično - Vse, prostor je super, lokacija je fantastična. Da se je slišalo ponoči vse kar se dogaja na ulici.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Björn (7/5): - In einem gebuchten Zimmer für 4 Personen war es nicht möglich die Fenster zu öffnen da dies vermutlich nicht vorgesehen war oder ist das war eher unangenehm bei 4 Personen auf 16 qm .
- Denis (10/5): -
- paola (9/5): - La posizione centralissima, la struttura molto accogliente e la camera molto bella, pulito e ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, consigliatissimo. L'unica pecca è che non ci hanno mai pulito la stanza a meno che non lo richiedevamo nonostante mettessimo il cartellino fuori, quindi consiglio di migliorare il servizio, perché è veramente un peccato data l'efficienza della struttura
- Jesper Bjerregaard (7/5): En oplevelse, men bliver kun den ene gang - Det ligger kanon godt. Hyggelig atmosfære Der var støj hele natten. Vi var der en mandag, tør slet ikke tænke på hvordan det vil være en weekend.
Vi fik tilbud om en early Birdy middag, som vi bestilte. Prisen på tilbuddet vi fik ved ankomst, og tilbuddet vi fik serveret var bare ikke den samme. Da vi sagde det serveringen rettede hun kun den ene menu i pris på regningen, måtte sige det til hende igen…..jo det måtte være en fejl.
Gad simpelthen ikke diskuterer med hende ….bevidst snyd med regningen
Om morgenen var der kun varmt vand i bruseren, så det blev etage vask …vi kunne ikke stå under bruseren
- Weronika (8/5): - Bardzo korzystna lokalizacja, wszędzie było blisko.
- Paige (7/5): -
- Mandy (7/5): Good stay for 1 night. - Location was good, right in the heart of Temple Bar. If you’re looking for a quiet place, this isn’t it. You are above busy pub.
- Melissa (10/5): -
- O Sullivan (10/5): -
- Oisin (9/5): Very good - 9.80 for a pint is ridiculous
- Abigail (8/5): Check in was confusing. Room was nice and comfortable - Great location No lobby.
- Gavin (10/5): Unbelievable accommodation. 100% recommendation - Everything. Arrived 5 hours before check
In and the staff were amazing when we asked to drop
Our bags off which allowed us to walk around without carrying them. The room was amazing, the attention to detail was incredible. Clean and spacious. Nothing
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Timberpop (9/5): - Location was superior
The bed was perfect!
And the hot hot water showers were fantastic! Not that I didn't like.. but the rooms were a bit small. That's the only thing I can say
- Elliot (8/5): Fantastic stay. Would recommend - Location was fantastic if you are there for the nightlife. Staff were super friendly and the bar is great. Perfect location to get to everything. No real problems at the hotel for the price that was paid. Absolute bargain.
- Richard (8/5): - Lage ist herrvorragend. Voll im Stadtzentrum. Entsprechend viel Los. Party bis in die Morgenstunden, dafür kurzer Weg für ins Bett. Schlechte Schallisolierung der Fenster.
- Louise (8/5): Fantastic stay - Loved the pub
- Casali (5/5): -
- Cathal (4/5): -
- Sam (8/5): -
- Zanatta (10/5): -
- Ben (3/5): Extremely disappointed - The shower was nice There was blood on our walls, the blinds did not work we had to manually roll them as the chain was off it’s gears. The glass was cracked in the window The Norseman pub who run this in get their keg delivery at 6:30am on the street below. There is no sound insulation it sounds and feels like the windows and open at all times. The heater did not turn on and the room was freezing
- Meena (8/5): -
- emmanuel (8/5): - Le personnel super accueillant, la chambre propre et confortable.
L'emplacement.... En plein milieu de Temple Bar L'emplacement.... Bruyant du fait de son emplacement...
- Darrell (10/5): Excellent - Great place to stay, clean, comfortable and great location
- Willem (8/5): Perfecte locatie voor fijne prijs. Alleen geschikt als je weinig op de kamer bent. - Locatie is top! Je bent nauwelijks op je kamer, dus een bed voldoet. Verder is alles gewoon netjes opgemaakt en schoon en je hebt meteen een leuk barretje beneden met restaurant daarboven. Je zit meteen in het uitgaansgebied (dat moet je willen), maar je hebt weinig overlast van de kroegen onder je. Op de kamer kan er nergens een raam open. Fijn dat er weinig geluid van de straat doorkomt, maar hierdoor zag je helemaal bovenaan wel de gevolgen hiervan. Een beetje muffig en schimmel bij het dakraam.
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Erik (9/5): - Locatie is perfect. In de nacht hoor je de straat, maar dat hoort bij deze locatie in het feestgedruis.
- Chiara Sofia (10/5): -
- Jane (7/5): Ideal location albeit not a peaceful nights sleep. - Ideal location, very clean with plenty of tea and coffee facilities. Only one mirror in the bathroom, therefore not good when drying and styling hair.
Not an ideal place if you want a peaceful nights sleep - Road and construction works being carried throughout the early hours until 6am.
- Destiny (10/5): Great location and easy check in process. Most reviews talked about noise level, but from our room we couldn’t hear anyt - Great location and easy check in process. Most reviews talked about noise level, but from our room we couldn’t hear anything. It was a bit warm but they had a fan that worked wonders.
- andrew (10/5): -
- Nash (7/5): Very comfortable stay, had food in bar and enjoyed the live music. - Didn't have breakfast.very noisy at night, but expected due to location. No tea/coffee facilities, even though advertised on website as evey room having this.Was advised that we could get free coffee/ tea from bar as being residents, but like the convenience of being able to make in room when first getting up( very early) and last thing at night. Not a big deal for a lot of people, but important to me 😊
- Karina (10/5): -
- Seán (4/5): Very very noisy at night -
- Julianna (7/5): - lokalizacja! na początku było dość zimno, potem z kolei duszno😅bo nie można było otworzyć okna
- José Román (7/5): - La ubicación y las camas La ventana con poco aislamiento sonoro se oia la gente de los bares de abajo y la que hablaba por la calle, la falta de armarios o percheros o colgadores para la ropa y que no nos hicieran la cama al limpiar la habitación.
- Helen (10/5): -
- Adele (7/5): It was central. I - It was very clean, however our room had a cracked window, so it was cold. Apart from that our stay was pleasant. We only stayed a night. It could have been warmer. And there's no where to hang clothes.
- Niall (8/5): -
- Aisha (7/5): My stay - Cheap, tidy, clean, good location Loud at night, not a fan of the green wallpaper/decor
- Mr (10/5): -
- Elias (8/5): Calidad precio perfecta - Habitación renovada, camas muy cómodas y limpieza perfecta Que eché en falta una silla o mesita así como perchero o un pequeño armario
- DAVID (8/5): Great - The Location on Temple bar Got very noisy outside but it is temple bar so expected
- Gerard (8/5): Prima verblijf - Mooie locatie, middenin het hart van Dublin. Lopend alles goed bereikbaar Wat luidruchtig in de nacht vanwege opruimwerkzaamheden

- emelie (10/5): - At det var sentralt At det ikke var noe vindu på rommet, så kunne bli varmt
- Maria (9/5): -
- Brian (9/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): - Good atmosphere. Good view of streets. Great music. Loved the smaller venue. Couldn't hear the music when sleeping. Major plus. We ate and drank there one of the nights. Thank you One window didn't open and no fridge.
- Carla (10/5): - Posizione top!!
- Riccardo (7/5): - La posizione e la pulizia Sicuramente i serramenti potrebbero essere più insonorizzanti, temple bar e caotica ma anche i serramenti hanno la loro importanza
- Isabel (3/5): La peor habitación por el ruido - El ruido constante como si estuvieras en un avión. Te esperan unos tapones para ayudarte a dormir.
- Birger (6/5): Gudd dæ - The food was good, and staff friendly. The room was very hot, and poorly ventilated. Next time maybe an aircon or aircooler.
- Rachel (10/5): -
- Mussier (7/5): - Emplacement super et personnel super. Le bruit étant donné que c'est au coeur du quartier le plus animé et au-dessus d'un pub.
- Wesley (8/5): -
- martin (7/5): -
- Suzanne (9/5): - Easy to find, ideal location
- Pi (10/5): - El personal, la limpieza de la habitación y baño. la localización y la cama era fantástica se dormía como en las nubes. El ruido, pero es normal ya era de se esperar.

- Steven (8/5): -
- valerie (7/5): - The staff were very helpful and friendly, there was a great atmosphere in the bar with a one man band, great talent. There was noise from the street below and the room was a bit cold
- Augusto (6/5): - La posizione è eccezionale Camera minuscola, senza armadi, senza tavolo né sedie, senza appendiabiti. Va bene per un soggiorno di 1-2 giorni
- Neil (10/5): Great place, amazing staff - Amazing location and room was nice The price, but thats dublin for you.
- Warren (9/5): - Excellent Location. Clean Room. Friendly helpful staff. Its very noisy so would only suit people who are planning on a night out.
- Shari (9/5): Fantastic, will recommend and stay again, thank you so much 🤩 - Amazing location, great atmosphere and music in the bar, cleanliness of room was fantastic Getting into the stairwell to the rooms from the street at night felt a tiny bit intimidating, but that was just my hyper alertness as I was traveling alone. But the staff were friendly at the bar and helpful
- Lisa (7/5): - Amazing location, comfortable beds, clean No kettle in room and bathroom door wouldn’t close. On checkout we asked if it was possible to leave our bag (one backpack) as it was quite heavy and we were not flying home until 8pm- a little disappointed that we were told no
- Nicky (8/5): -
- Mary (6/5): Some drawbacks but enjoyed the location. - Great location The shower was IMPOSSIBLE to regulate. Icy cold or burning hot. Noise was a bit much but able to sleep anyway.
