This place was sooo soo loud. Everything the people upstairs did was 3 times as loud from our room. All night long..The room was terribly hot even after figuring out how to turn the heat off and with the window open. Will not ever stay here again.

Not all rooms have been updated as you would have expected based upon the pictures. We had a room that was “tired” though it was clean. Did not have hot water one morning. Staff was nice and helpful.

Our room for 3 people was adequate and well laid out for that use. Windows on two walls allowed for cross ventilation which was nice. Personnel at the front desk and in the pub/restaurant area were quite warm and friendly. It's central location makes walking through the major parts along the Liffey easy.

Love the location, everything is right at the doorstep. The staff are great, really helpful and friendly. The room was a bit worn. The carpet was very stained and old, but despite this the room was clean. The breakfast was very good. They have every option you could want for breakfast. Would stay here again.

The Arlington is a GREAT location for everything …shops, transportation, Temple Bar, Trinity college, museums & right on the River Liffey. Nice restaurant/bar. The room was very nice…spacious, a bit worn but very clean. Could use an update to bathroom shower & AC.
