- Kathrin (8/5): Sehr gute Lage für Städteripp, guter Service, gelungen und stilvoll - Lage Dreck am Bett
- Beibhinn (3/5): -
- Ben (10/5): - Exceptional rooms, polite staff and brilliant location.
- Guillermo (10/5): -
- Elsa Melisa (10/5): Nice, clean and friendly - Beautiful building and location
- Andrew (7/5): - We appreciated the refrigerator and kitchen dishes. The sofa as well. The number of unlabeled switches, some of which were dimmers, was confusing. This issue was compounded by the main pendent light not working at all. The towel drying rack did not work in the bathroom. Some surfaces still showed rings.
- Paul (8/5): -
- Robert (10/5): Excellent - Great location, friendly and knowledgeable staff, room was modern and very clean, room overlooked the bar and outdoor area but was very quiet. Nothing
- Thilini (10/5): -
- Laura (9/5): - The location was excellent, though it could be a little noisy in the evenings because of the nearby pubs. By European standards, the room was spacious and very functional. The AC worked well, the hot water was reliable, and we really appreciated that the property was pet-friendly, which was a huge bonus for us.
- Albert (10/5): -
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Kristín Helga (8/5): Nice - Love the location The window in the room did not close completely and there was construction going on so it was like we were sleeping outside, very noisy in the mornings
- Florian (6/5): Tolle Lage - sonst befriedigend - Super tolle Lage. Direkt an Temple Bar gelegen. Generell schönes Design und Konzept mit der Küche im Zimmer. Fitnessraum ist für die Hotelgröße sehr klein. Frühstück war leider nicht so toll - Qualität könnte besser sein und leider war auch alles immer leer.
Die Betten im Twin Room waren sehr sehr schmal.
Preis war dafür echt hoch.
- Elsie (9/5): The cleanliness was brilliant and the staff were lovely and always ready to help. - The location was amazing and so easy to get to places and locate. The rooms were the perfect size with an amazing view. The staff were lovely and explained everything to us. The water in the room was warm out of the kitchen tap.
- Vasiliki (10/5): Excellent value for money especially for a family - Very central, clean and family friendly.
- maurizio (5/5): -
- Natasha (8/5): -
- John (8/5): Good facilities in a great central location - Great location, friendly staff and good facilities. Unfortunately there is construction work next to the property, so there is a lot of noise from 7am. This was especially a problem on the first night when we arrived at 1am and needed to be able to sleep in!
- eloise (10/5): Enjoyable - Great location and helpful staff. Thr apartment was very small
- travellerK4219CR (4/5): Wouldn’t stay again - Looked great in online pictures but arrived to find dirty socks under sink, tv remote with no batteries, very indented mattress and a few more things that made us feel that room was generally unclean. The dryer function on the rooms washer/dryer wasn’t functioning.
Normally don’t review but this place had too many things not to. All was told to front desk who appeared to feel helpless but were kind. The location was great.
- Q9387NTmarcias (8/5): Location is good and having a washer is a plus - The hotel has a good location. The room was quiet and having a washer was a plus. The breakfast was OK, but not much variety and not very appetizing.
We liked having a walk-in shower and the towels were nice a fluffy. We have started packing our own bar soap and shampoo, because most have hotels have gone to the pump bottles. Rarely do they work.
- Capucine (9/5): - Everything was great The street was loud
- Elvis (9/5): -
- Raquel (9/5): Dublín: habitación doble - La habitación muy espaciosa. Muy poca iluminación en la habitación.
- Marcia (7/5): Limited amenities, but a good location - Having a walk-in shower and a washer was the best part of this room. The staff was excellent with arranging taxi service. The breakfast was disappointing because of the quality of the food and limited selections. Daily room service was not provided, but available for a fee. Other properties provide complimentary snacks and water, not the Zanzibar.
- Megan (9/5): Very good location, right beside hapenny bridge. - Great location, full kitchen supplies and welcoming staff. Nothing
- Päivi (8/5): - Location was good; easy to arrive by airport express bus. Nice shopping street nearby the hotel and easy to reach hop on-hop off buses. Bed was a bit narrow.
- Bowie McGloin (10/5): -
- Lawrence (8/5): Location is it’s main drawcard - Location Cold, no warmth or atmosphere

- Kyle (6/5): -
- Annika (9/5): Fantastiskt läge och jättetrevlig o fin lägenhet. - Läget. Sköna sängar. Tyst, vi hade rum mot innergården. Skönt att vi kunde senarelägga utcheckningen med 2 timmar. Lite tråkig utsikt i och med innergård och nära huset mittemot.
Saknade kaffebryggare eller kanna för bryggning med filter.
- Carlos (9/5): -
- Karen (8/5): - The room was good, the bed was comfortable it was a great location. The room was very cold we would turn the air-conditioning up and after a few minutes it would go back to 22 degrees.
- Gianella (10/5): Muy buena ubicación y atención - Excelente ubicación, ideal para recorrer Dublín caminando. El personal fue muy amable y atento durante toda la estadía. El alojamiento resultó cómodo y práctico para unos días en la ciudad. Como sugerencia de mejora, sería muy útil contar con lavarropa entre las prestaciones.
- Seamus (8/5): - Great location, staff very friendly and efficient. Small problem with the alarm in the room but the staff were on hand very smartly to fix the problem. They gave us a complimentary breakfast which we appreciated.
- Jonathan (10/5): Nice hotel with great studio rooms. - Great location. Well kitted out rooms with proper cooking facilities. Friendly check in staff. The guy in the coffee shop attached to the hotel was charmless and unfriendly.
- 889peggyd (10/5): very nice place the closest you can get to temple bar - right accross temple bar by the bridge for pedestrians. Nice boutique hotel, very modern and well organized
- Jay (10/5): -
- AnKoh (10/5): - Wirklich alles super 😀
- Thompson (10/5): -
- SaCruxi (8/5): Very nice stay - Very nice, very central, good atmosphere, beds are too soft and uncomfy, breakfast ok but bad coffee. Overall good.
- Mobile785719 (6/5): Expensive - Great location, but the less time you spend inside, the better. The room was dark, facing dumpster and construction site. Still waiting for $50.00 deposit.
- Ti-Sheng (7/5): Improve a few things, this would be a great place to saty - We loved the location, the great staff, and the restaurant Merrow. Merrow deserves special mention. The hardware was good: it was spacious with good lighting and a good view of the bridge. Quality of food is very good and good value. The service was excellent. We had dinner there and were serviced by we think the manager. He was attentive and friendly. Overall a great little restaurant. Highly recommended. All Locke hotels share one major deficiency: poor indoor lighting. Not sure what the designer was trying to accomplish, but you cannot read a book in the room for sure. They like to use spot lights which leaves large area of the room dark.
The air in the corridor is stale, feels like it has not been ventilated in a long time.
No luggage racks in the room. Unfriendly to old people with knee problems as they have to squat to get stuff from the luggage.
- Lina (3/5): -
- Grégoire (8/5): - Emplacement de l’hôtel et accueil
Lit très confort
- Κωνσταντινος (9/5): Πολύ καλή επιλογή - Τοποθεσία χώροι διαμονής εξοπλισμός Τα χαμηλά δωμάτια είχαν λίγο θόρυβο
- ELENI (8/5): Good value for money - Overall feel, the staff and how the room was organised. It could be cleaner. Dusty parts in the room and some details in the bathroom.
- Valerio (8/5): -
- Stanislava (10/5): -
- JUDITH (10/5): -
- Sergio (7/5): - La ubicación, personal e instalaciones comunes La limpieza no era brillante al entrar y las vistas del apto. horribles
- Steven (9/5): - Very pleasant staff. Good-sized room for a Dublin hotel. Well appointed kitchen Building site behind the hotel générateur noise during the day
- Steven (10/5): Highly recommend for a perfect Dublin visit - Amazing location with everything you need close by. Used as a base 3 times over two weeks travelling. Was able to store luggage with them while doing this. All was great
- Pier-Marie (9/5): -
- Maxime (10/5): - Idéalement situé pour visiter Dublin
Chambre spacieuse
Très calme malgré l'emplacement en plein centre ville
Très propre
- Ginny (10/5): - Convenience. Great staff. Many places to relax with drinks or food.
- GM (10/5): - Absolutely great little hotel in a superb location. Loved the foyer, cafe, bar, and breakfast area with river view. Our studio was a good size and very comfortable. Would most definitely book again.
- Shinobu (4/5): OK for just clash in the night as room is small and not super functional. Location is great. - Location was good being close to bus stops. Being on a foot of the Ha'penny Bridge was nice.
The common area is stylish and with a good vibe. The window in the room not opening, and covered with film, made me claustrophobic. Also we need to use key card to every enter points including elevator was annoying.
- Eoin King (10/5): -
- Doris (9/5): Sehr schön gerne wieder - Das Zimmer war mit kleiner Küche und Sofaecke ausgestattet, zudem war die Lage super, Frühstück vielseitig und schön präsentiert Preis schon etwas hoch
- Elizabeth (10/5): Amazing location! - Phenomenal location and I loved having access to the gym onsite. Comfortable beds. Kinda weird that there were no electrical outlets in the bathroom. Definitely not a deal breaker on this hotel. Loved my stay.
- Stefan (8/5): -
- Carl (9/5): - Great location with easy access to Temple Bar and comfortable accommodations. We had a lovely room that overlooked the Liffey River. Only a couple of rooms have this view and it was worth the extra money we paid for a deluxe queen suite. Our only disappointment was the buffet breakfast. It was adequate but not exceptional, which is reflected in our 9 rating. We would definitely stay here again. See above - the breakfast buffet was a bit disappointing.
- DLY1951 (10/5): Great place to stay! - Location, accommodations, staff - absolutely great. We found this to be a great location from which to explore Dublin.
- Roberta (7/5): Clean and comfortable room. Location was fantastic. The staff was wonderful. - The location was great. The room was comfortable and large enough. The bathroom was very clean and had shelves and hooks. The breakfast was outstanding. The furniture could have been placed differently so that you could watch the television either from the bed or the couch. There was no table and chairs to allow you to eat. We were not able to figure out how to use the oven.
- Elspeth (7/5): Good location for city exploring - A great location in Dublin. The staff were very friendly and the room had everything we needed for a one night stay. The plumbing work made very loud noises when you turned the tap on which was a bit concerning, possibly a water pressure issue? The room also had a slightly damp smell.
- Langille (10/5): Exceeded expectations. Would stay there again for sure. - Did not expect a washing machine and dishwasher. More like a studio apartment than a hotel room. Exceeded expectations.
- Yannick (9/5): -
- Marie (10/5): Lieu propre et bien placé pour visiter Dublin! - Très propre et moderne.
Très bien placé. Il y a très peu de lumière , c’est sombre.
- Anna Tölli (7/5): - Läge Priset
- Ralph (10/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): Fabulous location especially for a longer stay without a car - Amazing location and apartment Pricey and no parking
- Kristel (9/5): -
- Steve (10/5): would definitely suggest this property to people traveling to Dublin - If you are walking Dublin sights, very few places you will need a cab for. We never felt unsafe walking etc A little difficultly with Washer/Dryer in our flat but staff did resolve it promptly
- Laura (9/5): -
- Isobelle (10/5): -
- Kristine (9/5): It was really good. - The location was really amazing, excellent restaurants near by and we were able to walk to all the sites on our list. The bed was pretty hard and the suite was well used. Minor scuffs and stains. The kitchenette had no utensils but staff was amazing and I’m sure would have provided them if I asked.
- 403katiew (6/5): Convenient and modern and everything you need - Really convenient location and zero noise from outside or other rooms.
The room had everything you could need and overall was very clean.
The sole problem and single reason for my low score relates to the bed. The lumpy pillows I could excuse, and whilst the mattress needs replacing was ok. The issue was the smell, I'm unsure if it was the pillow, bedding or mattress but it smelled extremely musty not unlike if you smacked a bag of mould which disturbed my sleep and made me feel very dirty. Aside from this it was excellent in every other way.
- Katie (5/5): Convenient, quiet and spacious - Convenient and quiet location.
Room had everything you could need. Bed/bedding smelled extremely musty not unlike mould which disturbed my sleep and made me feel dirty. This was the sole negative of the stay everything else was excellent.
- Martin (10/5): - Location ideal. Staff excellent. Most facilities very good. Could have done with more lighting in the room and also more crockery and cutlery (only two of everything meant the dishwasher was rather redundant).
- Lydie (10/5): Séjour très sympathique dans un hôtel confortable. - L’emplacement - le confort des chambres - le parfum diffusé dans l’établissement et le coin cuisine du studio.
- Anneke (10/5): -
- Matthew (9/5): Quiet, well-located and friendly hotel right in the heart of Dublin, would stay again. - Fabulous location, quiet and secure, nice studio style apartment, spacious room, nice bathroom and walk-in shower. The room had the basics for an extended stay provided in unit. The only downside at all was the learning curve in figuring out how everything in the room worked. We couldn't find a guide and the info channel on the hotel tv didn't tell us how to use the appliances or the energy saving lightswitches. Could be a non-issue for some, but did confuse us.
- Alyson (9/5): Great location - Great location, clean rooms, comfortable beds and good coffee at the cafe.
