Had a great stay at the Zanzibar Locke location at HaPenny Bridge. Terrific location in central Dublin, walkable to all the sights. The hotel was very clean and safe and the room was well appointed. With the stocked kitchenette, refrigerator, dishwasher and washer/dryer it would be fantastic for an extended stay.

Loved everything about this property. You cannot go wrong by choosing to stay here. Location is perfect, it’s within easy walking distance of everything, but just far enough that you’re somewhat shielded from the Temple Bar chaos. It did get slightly noisy on Saturday due to a venue a few doors down, but it was tolerable. Rooms are spacious with a great little kitchenette. On site laundry is super convenient. Beds could be a bit better, but they’re comfortable enough. Plenty of plugs with built in USB’s. Oddly our bathroom didn’t have any outlets. Staff were very friendly, but there’s no in room telephone, so you’ll need to call down from your own phone or walk down for any commutation. Loved our stay here.

Liked: Cleanliness
Central location, cleanliness and greeting given by staff-things that I liked. If the appliances were not so complicated to use or an operational sheet were provided, the kitchenette facility would be ideal. Tech savvy guests should be OK. Did not like the lack of knowledge by the general staff about local services and amenities like touring services, grocery stores, directions to tourist sites and transportation stops. Room supples like paper products, condiments (salt/pepper/sugar/instant coffee/tea) were sparse. Ceilings of the rooms need painting, as they give an appearance of residing in a warehouse. Staff was friendly and some even helpful, mostly the female staff. Great central location for access to all the tourist services and/or sites, if only the entire staff had knowledge of them.
