Hotel Harding - Dublin

Everything was ok excepting the room was a little cold and internet sometime didn't work.

Walking distance to everything. Pleasant staff. Spacious room with fridge and big fan. We had a very nice stay and paid a very reasonable price. Only negative was poor air circulation and excess heat from the building making the temperate october nights too hot and required use of the fan and consequently earplugs.

We thought the hotel was overall great but unfortunately we had rooms just above the pub and as we were there over a weekend it was VERY noisy. The first night there we didn't get any sleep because of the karaokee from the pub, the noise from the street, the Cathedral clock across the street and it didn't help that the windows were not very solid so all noise and sounds came directly into the rooms. We were moved to the third floor on request and it helped a little. But we could still hear people from the pub and the clock which rang every 15 minutes. It should be mentioned in the hotel description the your webpage.

Staff cold as a dead fish. Ireland advertises itself to America as a friendly place. NO WHERE was it friendly. Room had disgusting blankets and rug. Blood on shower curtain. Would not shower, would not have felt clean. Rooms need to be overhauled. Clean, new chairs (stains)rug, blankets and a knowledgable (told us wrong about bus)welcoming staff. Dublin is filthy too.

If you want a quiet room, ask for one at the rear. the cathedral bells (across the street) chime all night. Small fridge in room was welcome. WiFi was excellent. Carpet in the room I had was overdue for replacement. There is a lift but you have to go down a few stairs in the lobby to reach it. Location was close to Temple bar without all the street noise. Short walk to centre of town. Bus Stop for airport but just a block away.

Very good hotel, quite, confortable and close to the city centre. Suggested to everybody to visit and enjoy the Dublin city

We enjoyed our stay at the Harding. The room was clean and attractive. They staff was very professional and helpful. My only complaint and it is very minor is that the hotel's free WiFi reception was very weak. I could only get reception in the restaurant. I would stay again in this hotel without exception.

Very good hotel for the price. A fantastic location, close to Temple Bar, right in the center of Dublin. I'll come back.

Is right in front of Chryst Church and a few steps from the bus stop coming from the airport. I would stay here again.

I used to travel to Dublin often in 1999-2000, and I always stayed at the Harding Hotel. I stayed again this year, and everything is as I remembered it. The price is reasonable, given the location (right at Temple Bar) and the amenities. And it is obvious they have maintained the property very well. Everything is still new and fresh looking. If I have the opportunity to return to Dublin, I will be going to the Harding Hotel again.

The quality of sevice, employees, and we love the live music downstairs in the pub where the employees were great. That is why we always return and prefure staying at the Harding Hotel.

Have stayed at the Harding in the past. I was happy to see the upgrade to the furnishings. I was disappointed, though, in the friendliness of the front desk staff. Not impolite, just chilly & cordial, which was different from my previous stay.

I spent two nights here on my own at the end of a mostly-business trip. The location is at the end of the Temple Bar neighborhood, which is handy without being right in the thick of noisy tourists. Beware- the location shown on the website (next to Trinity College) is NOT correct!! I found it a very nice hotel with good wifi. My only complaint is that my room was right above the patio of the pub next door which was very loud on Sunday night until midnight. Fine on Monday night.

I had a great time in a great town in a great hotel. And now i'm making planes for my next trip. And YES i'll be staying in the Harding.

Its a nice hotel, the room was very clean although very small. The hotel is located above a pub. I requested a quiet room but I had a live performance of an Irish band inside my room. After that i had a loud noise of people that were talking outside the pub until 1:30 AM.

We had a lovely room overlooking Christ Church and city skyline.The rooms were very comfortable and supplied every need.The staff so very helpful. The location is so excellent to walk and explore the city.Would stay there again.

Ottima la posizione, gentile ed educato il personale.Camera pulita e silenziosa dotata di angolo caffè,phon e ferro da stiro Non lussuoso,ma ottima la corrispondenza tra qualità e prezzo. Ci tornerei e lo consiglio a tutti sicuramente.

Clean, central a bit noisy

We had a fabulous time at the Hotel Harding. Very welcoming and great location. Clean and quiet and very helpful staff. The breakfast was delicous too!

I was in Dublin for the first time. The hotel is really nice and close to most of the sightseeing highlights. Actually, we did not spend much time there because there was so much to see and we came only "home" for sleeping.

The carpet in the rooom look as though it had never been hoovered, and the furniture was very cheap. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and the location is great.

Very nice hotel in central location, easy walking distance to both Grafton Street and Temple Bar. Friendly and competent service. Fairly young clientele - nightly activities (e.g. karaoke) provided in downstairs bar - geared at younger demographic (-25 yrs.).

Old hotel near Christchurch Cathedral on very busy street. Room clean with comfortable bed and good bathroom. Nice breakfast. Nice restaurant and pub attached. Lift available.Temple Bar district a bit seedy. Staff initially gave us an occupied room! Quickly sorted out. Staff not knowledgeable about Dublin surrounding Suburbs or other parts of Ireland.

Wonderful location

This hotel is well located in Dublin, just across from Christchurch. Single room was quite small but adequate. Only issue was with noise from both Christchurch bells and from bar located at street level under the hotel. Request a room away from the church or bring earplugs. Although not advertised on Venere, breakfast was included (salmon and eggs was very good).

It was a very acceptable hotel for a short stay. Our window opened onto a city street but the noise was not too bad. The bathroom was minimal but functional. The location was excellent. The price was acceptable for Ireland which is very expensive. I would stay there again. My biggest complaint is that the hotel was very hard to find. This is due to the very confusing Dublin street arrangement which I knew nothing about. I would have preferred to have more detailed driving directions from the asirport provided with the reservation

SUPER HOTEL IN AN EXCELLENT LOCATION CLOSE TO TEMPLE BAR AREA. ROOMS LOVELY AND CLEAN. A BIT NOISY AT THE WEEKEND BECAUSE THE BAR HAS GROUPS ON BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU ARE IN THE TEMPLE BAR CAPITAL OF DUBLIN EVERY BAR AT WEEKENDS IS WALL TO WALL AMAZING ATMOSPHERE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. DARKEY KELLY BAR WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE HOTEL IS GREAT AND HAS LIVE ENTERTAINMENT BAR FOOD FANTASTIC A REASONABLY PRICED. THE RESTAURANT SELLS GOOD FOOD AND BREAKFAST BUT COULD DO WITH A BIT MORE FOR THE PRICE. GO TO THE BAR!!!! SERVICE IS SUPER AND THE STAFF BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO HELP. WOULD DEFINATELY GO TO THE HARDING AGAIN AS WE HAD A GREAT TIME. DONT FORGET TO VISIT THE GUINNESS FACTORY AND GO ON A BUS TOUR YOU GET TO SEE EVERYWHERE AND THEN YOU CAN DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO GET OFF. ALL IN ALL AN AMAZING WEEKEND.

Mine tree friends and I had a excellent time in hotel Harding. The rooms are good, spaciousness and clean. Breakfast is top. You have the choice out of full Irish, English or continetal and those are ok. Walk out the door and within tree minutes you are in Tempel Bar area. We stayed in Harding four days and had never a dull moment. Under the hotel you find an bar with live-music. So you don't even have to go out. From this location you don't need a taxi or bus. Within 20 minutes you are were you want to be. Pubs, Guinness Brewery, Dublin Castle, Trinity College, shopping streets, etc, etc. Really excellent please to stay. But realise that you are in a nabourhood where people like to party.

Excellent Hotel and Location, Great Price. Single room a little small but comfortable. Highly Recommended ***

Great karaoke-show on friday. Many local singstars.

The issue with noise was with a front room - back room was very quiet. Good position on the edge of Temple Bar.

My 2 sisters and i stayed in the family room containing 3 single beds.it was spacious,very clean and had the advantage of a fridge which was very useful.the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the location ideal for sightseeing.would definately stay again if returning to dublin.

Had 3 days in Dublin and this hotel is perfect for accessing at the sights quickly. Take the bus from the airport and stop at Wood Quay - the hotel is just 30 seconds on foot. Next to a pub - so Guiness on tap locally! A few minutes walk from the trendy Temple bar area, 6 mins on foot from Molly Malone and there are very close-by stops for the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus. All in all, a fab hotel. Breakfast was a little dissapointing, so if you have the option of room only - go elsewhere for brekkie - lots of cafes close by...

Small room but everything required was there, excellent value for overnight stay in city, very central, didn't realise breakfast was included which was incredibly excellent value, unfortunately we didn't have time to sample as we had to leave too early.

Good location but very noisy on a Saturday night! Tidy and clean.

I had a excellent hen party in Dublin, we enjoyed the hotel that much we are going again next year for my friends 30th birthday. All staff were very friendly & helpful. The only problems was the church bells rining across the road - Friday teatime & Sunday morning.

We loved our stay in the Temple Bar area of Dublin & would return however not because of the hotel.We found one or 2 day/nights is enough. The hotel reception were totally incompetent. We had to seek out management a few times for any information, directions, etc. Location is good - near enough but not right in the middle of everything. Room & bathrooms were a bit rustic.

Very noisy on Friday night (very thin walls and doors, people coming back from pubs etc until 3am). Fine on weekday nights. Great location in heart of medieval city but close to Temple Bar if that's your thing. You can walk everywhere from this hotel. Breakfast poor quality (kept warm for some time) and service a bit flaky. (Had to ask for coffee, ask where to get juice etc). But for the price it was to be expected.

We ordered a triple room and received a very nice one, on the top floor, large enough for three. The best thing of the hotel was the enclosed pub. Especially with a child it is very comfortable to have such a nice pub directly in the hotel. So we could enjouy some glasses of guinnes while our child could dream in her own bed, just 1 minute away. The pub offered live music everyday and was not too touristic, many dubliners visited this place every day. Breakfast was also excellent. Need a good hotel in Dublin? - go there!!!

Very comfortable and clean. Kind welcoming: you feel at home.

LE STANZE SONO BUONE LASCIA UN PO A DESIRERARE I BAGNI HANNO VECCHIE MATTONELLE PERO' NEL COMPLESSO OTTIMA POSIZIONE E BUONA COLAZIONE

Excellent central location. The rooms are solid if not spectacular- ideal to use as a comfortable base from which to view the City.

Great hotel in centre of Dublin. Staff very helpful, pub was great and couldn't be heard from room. Only complaint is bed was pretty small, more like a large single than a double.

Clean, comfortable and near to the center. It was a good journey.

Very good location but to expensive for what you get

Very good location to visit Dublin. Single room very small, tiny shower room. Heating only from 6.00pm

Splendid location,a bit noisy until pubs close clean rooms and friendly staff, requests are taken care immediatelly.I would definitely go back.

The Harding was a comfortable, spacious place to lay our heads for a week. i love the area & would return in a minute!

A slight problem occurred on our last day when there was some confusion with restaurant staff over whether breakfast was included in the price. The manager resolved this very quickly.

Albergo in posizione eccellente, adiacente alla zona di Temple Bar e di fronte alla cattedrale di Christchurch. Le stanze sono sufficientemente spaziose, più di quanto visto in altri alberghi di pari categoria. Molto caratteristico il pub che si trova sotto l'albergo. Unico "neo" il lavandino che si trova in camera anziché in bagno. Nel complesso, sicuramente da ritornarci.

As a property on the edge of Temple Bar and given that my Father and myself were in single rooms (where you often pay more for the worst rooms) this was superb value for money. Both our rooms looked out at Christ Church Cathedral and well sized for singles. Far enough away from the late night clubs and bars to have a good night's sleep but with the whole city centre in walking distance.

We were only in Dublin for two nights. We were on a limited budget and looking to spend our money more on good food, guiness, and craic than a hotel. We only needed a hotel to sleep in between experiencing Dublin. We were very satisfied with the Harding. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, well located, clean place to lay your head, then the Harding is perfect. If you are looking for ambience or quiet, this is not the place. The hallways and the bathrooms are a bit dreary. Prison-like in some regards. The bathrooms are very practical and institutional. Toilet and shower (no tub) that drains to the floor. All perfectly clean, but again, not pretty. The hotel is very close to Christ Church (our room had a nice view if you looked hard left out the window). But with the cathedral comes the church bells. And with growing Dublin comes the constant sound of construction. And with the city comes the constant sound of traffic. And the hotel rooms themselves didn't seem too insulated from the noise of people coming and going. The curtains did a poor job of keeping out the morning light. But the beds were very comfortable and clean. The staff brought us an ironing board and iron upon request. The staff were all very nice and capable. We would stay there again if ever visiting Dublin.

Very nice hotel, located in the center of Dublin. Roome and bathroom are very clean. Price is a little too high for a 2 stars hotel.

If a good hotel in a great dublin location is what you are looking for....then DO NOT stay at this hotel. Instead, stay at the Jury's Inn which is located beside the Harding. The only thing that this hotel has going for it is it's proximity to the Temple Bar district of Dublin. The rooms are mediocre and the bathroom floor was just disgusting. I feel like I completely wasted my money staying at the Harding.

The hotel is located right smack in the centre and in walking distance from shopping and sights. Nice and friendly staff. There was an error made in the booking though, since venere.com specified we were supposed to hav had breakfast included, but we were informed upon arrival that the price we got was exclusive of breakfast. Apparently there had been an error made from the booking site. Also, a tip: BRING EARPLUGS. The music entertainment from the bar downstairs is very noisy.

Excellent hotel. Spacious rooms and very central location in Dublin. Very nice front desk staff and great pub located in the hotel. We would definitely stay again.

The hotel was very clean and comfortable, but the location was the best part for us. We loved being so close to the center of town and being able to walk almost everywhere.

An excellent hotel in the centre of dublin.

We stayed at the Harding for four nights, and except for a screaming match between some couple on the street at 3 AM, everything was great. The rooms are sparse, but clean and comfortable. I can see why earlier reviewers were nervous about the bathroom, it was simplistic, but serviceable and clean. As long as you expect an old building bathroom and not the Hilton, you'll be fine. The location of the Harding couldn't be better-easy walking access to everything and an incredible view of ChristChurch Darkey Kelly is the perfect pub for relaxing with tea or listening to the music on a weekend. Good craic. Just be sure to take the 747 bus to CityCentre, not a cab, because they'll try to overcharge you. Had a wonderful time and will definetely return!

Enjoyable stay. I would like to say that the staff were extremely pleasent and friendly.

The on suite bathroom and sink had no constant running water, and no means to control the temperature of the water flow. Showers were brief and ectremely hot.

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo! Molto carino il pub sotto l'hotel con musica live!! Vicinissimo al centro e camere spaziose....unico neo: un po' scomodo il lavandino perchè è fuori dal bagno!?!

A very good and cheap hotel. Whenever I stay in Dublin again I would definitively go back to Harding.

Our room was rather small - a small double bed pushed against one wall, no room to get around the bed due to the 'wedge' shape of the room. I definitely got the impression that we were being given a 'cheap' room, a fact born out by the fact that the room was shown as a single on the fire instruction plan! Having said that, the rate we paid was the best I could find anywhere on the web, as it included a full Irish breakfast. The staff were very helpful, booking a table at a restaurant for a group of us one evening and booking the return trip to the aiport (although they did book a 4 seater rather than the 6 seater we needed!) The hotel is very centrally placed, but at the same time nice and quiet. The bar was absolutely heaving one night - live music was playing until 1.00 on the Saturday, but the noise didn't reach the bedrooms. It was certainly much better value than the 3 star hotel next door!

The location was wonderful, and having my room look out directly across to Christchurch Cathedral was not at all a bad thing. There's one computer for your use in the lobby here, but the internet is verrry slow, you're better off to use the 24hr internet shop just a block away. Very convenient, helpful staff, in fact I arrived late morning and was actually given a larger room than I reserved. I'd stay here again on my next Dublin trip!

Hotel is in very good location. Bathroom is antiquated - impossible to shower without flooding bathroom. Beds were the most uncomfortable we had ever slept in - one was a day bed with only pieces of foam for a matress. After one night we asked staff to address this problem and were assured they would however this had not been done. Pub ajoining hotel is pleasant place to enjoy a meal - friendly service, good food.

Good hotel - big rooms, good location and the bar was great fun. Would definitely stay there again, only moan was the lack of hot water when we were getting ready to go out!

In an exellent location,easy access to most of Dublins historical sights.Friendly staff in the hotel and adjoining restraunt. It would be helpful if breakfast was offered at the time of booking.We shall certainly return.

Dear Sirs I specifically requested a double room and was therefore surprised to be offered a twin. After some discussion we were offered (with a reduction)a very small and frankly inadeqate room which was very noisy and meant we had little sleep. This was my first experience in using your company and has not left a good impression Roger Greet

The level of cleaners is not fixed. Some are excellent, othres are not. Totally we would like to make use of it again.

Hotel pulito, con servizi essenziali, ma rapporto qualità/prezzo molto basso. Toilette orrende, alcune camere piccolissime. Molto comodo per visitare il centro a piedi.

The hotel is located directly across from the historic Christchurch in Dublin. It was an excellent value especially considering the location. I highly recommend this hotel.

We had to pay more than the price indicated on our booking (96 EUR/night instead of 84 EUR). There was no car park belonging to the hotel contrary to what is understood by the "P" on the web page indicating the facilities. The car park is not far but has to be paid seperately per hour or per day. Anyway the average quality is good.

Good location,close to Temple Bar. Generous tea/coffee supply. TV very clear and many channels. Should have at least some breakfast provided for price paid (60 euros/nite)- otherwise no complaints.

This hotel is in a great location, with great staff. It is easy to get to and the directions are perfect. The room was very clean and spacious, the beds comfortable and the stay was great!
