The Norseman

lively noisy location in the middle of temple bar

room was small

Very noisy place till 4 or 5 am. People shouting out in the street. Too expensive and I wasn't able to cancel it the day after I booked. It's normal cause nobody wants to stay for that price. So once they have a guest they want to make easy money

Noise, price, no receptionist till 3 pm

If it’s the nightlife you’re visiting Dublin for then this is a fantastic location to stay. It’s right in the heart of the action and seems to never stop. They have live music in the bar and a fantastic range of beers. Bar staff are quite pleasant as well and give you resident discount when they know you’re staying.

The room was nice enough and quite comfortable. The only issue we had was the shower. The shower was cold every morning and this was reported to the management. Apparently the pilot light had went out and was re-lit on the first night. Still not sure why the other two had no hot water. I was told it was working after I complained. It must be both myself and my wife who don’t understand what hot and cold is. If the shower had been working this would of been a 10/10. The issue we had highlighted another in that when you have a problem there’s no one to speak with other than an email address. Without a reception is leave you a bit stuck.

The hotel was clean and very central for all local attractions/bars/pubs/clubs/restaurants and the room was nice, fairly spacious and modern in decor.

The room was very noisy as it is directly opposite to a club which stays open until the early hours but we expected this, but there is also a building site down the road which is noisy and work starts early in the morning. Also, the water was switched off half way through the morning when we were due to check out, meaning that my friend's shower was cut short and I couldn't get a shower at all.

Easy access to the center of activity in Temple Bar, and the room was secure...it felt safe.

Location, atmosphere,

The staff we dealt with prior to check in at at check in were absolutely wonderful-- went way above and beyond to accomodate us!!! The rooms were nice, clean, and comfortable. And, the location, geographically, is convenient for sight seeing in Dublin.

This is not necessarily a reflection on Farrington's specifically, but if you value sleep at all, do not stay in Temple Bar!! We could hear every word, scream, song, and toast from the bar below and from the street. This hotel is across from a night club and the crowd is indescribably loud and obnoxious until 4 am. It almost ruined our whole trip, unfortunately.
