"Lovely but noisy if you`ve a front facing room "

A great little hotel, comfortable & clean room, great customer service and 20% off at the attached 1900 retaurant. The food here was delicious - I ate there every night! The only down side for me was my 1st night was in a room facing the road - didnt get a wink sleep with lots of rowdy people on the street. The hotel staff moved me to the back & it was perfect!

"Reasonable hotel, dire location with noisy nightclubs across the road"

The hotel was fine, breakfast was ample and had a great variety of choice. The staff were all very pleasant and when we asked about changing from a front room to one at the back, the receptionist couldn`t have been more helpful. She gave us the key to a different room and suggested we had a look at it before we actually moved. The move was purely because of the noise from the neighbouring nightclubs.. They played loud music until 3.30 am. - then the clients sang and shouted for a while before they finally went home!

"very good value for money"

Good location for city centre. Delightful staff. Comfortable rooms. Only downside is the two nightclubs directly across the road. Noise level high until at least 3.30 am. However was offered earplugs by receptionist and advised to ask for rooms at the rear of the hotel when returning.

"Central, Comfortable, Affordable-Try Harrington Hall"

We stayed at this hotel on 13th and 14th February, and again on 17th February. Everything was to our satisfaction. In particular, this is a great base for exploring the area around St Stephen`s Green, and indeed, Central Dublin.Highly recommended!

"Room was nice and clean but very noisy "

Our room was nice and clean but it was right behind the reception so we could hear door bell and of the night the three night clubs opposite are very noisy until about three. Taxis beeping there horns at half six in morning outside also.

"Pleasant hotel nearDublin City centre"

A pleasant, indeed classy boutique hotel close to St Stephen`s Green and within walking distance of main shopping areas, Trinity College, and art galleries. etc. My room was tastefully furnished with full bathroom suite, and very clean. Good supply of tea and coffee (but no mini bar). The hotel does not have a restaurant or bar, but can supply food and alcohol as room service at reasonable costs. Good breakfast. Staff very pleasant and helpful, and there is a big sitting room downstairs where you can read newspapers and access internet. Only drawback for me was that I had a front room overlooking Harcourt street down which trams trundle very noisily every 15 minutes or so late into the night. Advise requesting a back room when you book.

"overlooks street with 5 night clubs rowdy street behaviour and taxis sounding horns untill 5.30am"

beautiful georgian building, excellent staff and service- does this compensate for a night with no sleep? Unfortunately not! The advertising for hotel fails to mention proximity of night clubs and we were not warned when checking in. Entire street becomes a night club haven, with drunk rowdy behaviour and hundreds of taxis blocking the rentire road. No soundproofing and hence we got no sleep. Complained in the morning to be told we have lots of complaints and nothing could be done about it. passing our comments on to the manager is not a good enough response. Rooms at front of this hotel should not be booked at the weekend! This experience ruined our weekend and blighted our view of Dublin. Honesty is the best policy if you want repeat business!

"Do not get a room fronting Harcourt Street if you want to sleep beyond 4.00am."

Staff polite. Breakfast small and seemingly from the local supermarket. Not a four-star experience by any means. Double room was smaller than advertised, and the noise at 4.00am when the clubs closed was unbearable.

Everything was very good except the situation of our room. It was overlooking the main street and the noise between 2am and 3.30am was highly disturbing. Sleep was impossible.

"Historical Dublin at its best. Get a feel for life behind the georgian doors..."

Lovely house hotel. Very comfortable and very interesting history portrayed on the walls in the form of invitations from buckingham palace etc. Modernity successfully forfeited for the sake of authenticity. Lovely breakfast staff too! A little pricey, but if you like history you`ll be satisfied.

"Beds and pillows uncomfortably too hard"

Well situated in central Dublin with useful Luas stop close by. Night spoiled by club exit at 01.00am and noise lasted for over an hour. Some strands of hair found in bath and on pillow - not very inviting. Attractive building and interiors.

The Harrington has a family house feel with a warm welcome and beautiful sitting room. The rooms are comfy with lovely bathrooms. Everything is very well appointed. The location is perfect - just off St Stephen`s Green. The breakfasts are delicious!

After reading other reviews who all mentioned noise at night decided to book anyway. Our room was at the front and the reviews were right there was noise from nightclubs but the staff could not have been more helpful and we were relocated to a room at the back. Rooms were spotless and comfortable and the hotel`s location was within easy walking distance from St. Stephen`s Green and also the coach stop from the airport. Would certainly return.

"Pleasant room, friendly and helpful staff."

Bedroom nice. Chose one at the rear of the hotel having read warnings that nearby nightclubs could make the front noisy. Very quiet on both nights of our stay. Public rooms very nice. Breakfast not special for the money.

"Mid-week break"

My wife and I stayed at Harrington Hall for a mid-week break and found the hotel to be excellent value for money and in a very central location. The staff were informative and helpful and the room very clean. Due to its location in Harcourt street which has several nightclubs the hotel had the potential to be noisy. Upon checking in, I asked for a room at the back of the hotel and the receptionist was able to accommodate the request. I would book this hotel again.

"girls weekend in Dublin"

My sister and i stayed at the Harrington Hotel last month for 3 nights. We had a very enjoyable time. The hotel is very central, just a walk from the shopping areas. We had a very comfortable room with a large bathroom. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed having a breakfast cooked to order instead of the usual buffet style on offer in large hotels. For value for money in an expensive city we found this hotel hard to beat. Everything you could need at a reasonable price. We would return and recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean comfortable room within easy reach of the city center. Its near the airport bus stop too.

Good location and car parking is a real bonus. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a little Italian restaurant just yards from the hotel which is excellent for dinner as the hotel offers only breakfast. Room was clean and contained everything needed for a short stay. Would use this hotel again.

"Noise.Do not accept a front facing room"

Small but adequate rooms on the 3rd floor(room nos 35 and 36) But our stay was spoilt by the noise of taxis sounding their horns upto 4am, touting for business from the niteclubs in Harcourt Road.Although we were moved to the rear of the hotel for our remaining stay We were annoyed that they put us in the front rooms knowing the situation existed
