A great place to stay in a great location with welcoming staff! The room was clean, bed was very comfortable. The hotel allowed for walking distance to many places in Dublin. The parking is about a three minute walk from a parking garage with a small extra charge. Attached to the hotel is a quaint little place for brunch and dinner upstairs as well as a great pub below. We would definitely recommend.! read more

Had a great experience staying at Harding Hotel . Near Beer Temple area. Guinness brewery is about 12 minutes to walk . Hotel staff was amazing!! Have Darky Kelly pub next too was a bonus . Live music 7 days . read more

Kind staff, comfortable bed, and surprisingly quiet at night. I would definitely stay there again!

Stayed here my last night in Dublin. My room had a tea kettle, micro fridge, safe, and hair dryer. The bed was comfy and room was quite large compared to some hotels I've stayed in while in Ireland. There's a bar and restaurant downstairs, which I did not have the pleasure of using, but no worries, you don't hear any noise. It's close to Temple bar area, but pleasantly not in Temple bar. Which I rather enjoyed, since that area seemed rather loud and rambunctious. read more

Harding Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Dublin, D

I loved this hotel! My room was huge and had a great view of Christchurch Cathedral. The sitting area in the corner was a nice touch. The location is really what makes this hotel stand out. Connected to the hotel are Darkey Kelly's, a super cool pub, and Copper Alley Bistro, where you can order breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, soup, etc. It was very easy to walk to almost all of the places that I visited. I didn't venture out late too many nights, but the times that I did, I felt safe. That can make all the difference as a solo, female traveler. The best part is, if you want to experience live music and have a few too many, you can do that right from the comfort of your own hotel..well pretty much. As I mentioned, Darkey Kelly's is literally connected so you don't even have to walk outside! I would stay here again for sure! read more

The Harding Hotel is a perfectly fine place to stay in Dublin, especially if you are looking for a cozy boutique hotel feel. Is it the fanciest hotel on the block? Most certainly not. Is it clean with spacious rooms? Yes and Yes Is it right in the heart of downtown? Yup Are the prices fair? Absolutely Because of that, I'd stay at Harding again during my next visit to Dublin. Our room was large and had plenty of space, we were able to walk to everything that we wanted to see (Temple Bar, Guinness, St Stephens Green, Trinity Collage, Grafton St). The nightly rate was affordable at around 100 euro / night. Our favorite pub in Dublin, Darkey Kelly, ended up being right downstairs which was perfect. We could have eaten and drank there every night and been satisfied. The only reason I'll knock off a star is because the hotel is a bit outdated, and the bathroom and shower are uncomfortably small. But, because of the great price and location I'd still come back again! Plus, during our 3 night stay in Dublin there was so much to do that we pretty much only spent time at the hotel to sleep! read more

Curse you Coronavirus! I had booked two rooms for two nights (non-refundable) in May thru hotels.com, but was unable to travel from the USA. hotels.com website kept saying be patient, ALL reservations would be refunded, but nothing happened. Finally, I contacted hotels.com for a chat, and was told that I needed to contact the hotel directly, there was nothing they could do. So, I did. After months of waiting, the excellent staff contacted he within hours and arranged a voucher for future travel. My stay at the Harding Hotel may be delayed, but my appreciation is not. read more

I was really happy with this hotel. I found it online and the reviews looked good. The price was also pretty hard to beat considering it's location right next to (but not in) Temple Bar. I was able to walk around to pretty much whatever I wanted to see from here. Finding the place is really easy too, it is literally right across the street from Christ's Church Cathedral. I booked a room for one person and was surprised to find that my room had a king sized bed! There was also a relatively big bathroom with large shower as well. The room even came with a fridge, iron, pants press, and in room coffee and tea service. The WiFi was free and thankfully did not have one of those web pages you have to login to every time you want to use WiFi. You put in the code once and you are good to go the whole time you are there. The signal was not the strongest in my room but I had no trouble using Facebook and reading the news so I was happy. The place was pretty clean and even though there was music down in the bar I was not able to hear it up on the 4th floor. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Dublin. read more

This hotel is a MUST stay at hotel during your stay in Dublin! This hotel is located in just the right spot! Walking distance from everything you'd really want to see, and great places to eat and shop! A coworker of mine also stayed here during his stay in Dublin, and couldn't say one bad thing about it. I was relieved that this place was not only cost effective for our wallets, but romantic enough for our honeymoon wants. Located directly across the street from Christ Church, make sure you ask upon booking to be in a room facing the church, like we did. Although we were directly above Darkey Kelly Bar, we loved hearing the live music at night; so much so, we left the windows open to dream Irish Rover dreams. Our room was plenty spacious - we had a king size bed, plus an additional twin bed, which we ended up using as a place to lay our luggage. Supplied with a mini coffee machine, porcelain cups and saucers, and a hair dryer in the desk dryer, where all the comforts I was looking for. Plenty of closet space, and the bathroom was clean and bright. I would not hesitate to visit here the next time we come to the Emerald Isle! read more

Nice hotel in Dublin. The location is perfect. So close and walkable to everything. The rooms were comfy and the bathroom was actually quite spacious. The staff here were wonderful--so friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the morning at the Copper Alley bistro was tasty. I had the full Irish breakfast both days but there were other options too. The attached pub, Darkey Kelleys is fun for a drink and some Irish music. The only downside is the noise. There really isn't much the hotel could do about it, just an FYI. The first day we were so jet lagged after being awake for 30+ hours that we passed out early. Our room was on the first floor above the pub facing the street, the noise from the pub was really obvious. Well after the pub had closed 1am, we could still hear people just yelling in the street for hours. You will also hear the church bells ring every hour throughout the night. The hotel itself was great and in a perfect location. If you're on the first floor facing the church, don't expect to get much rest. read more

??? Book direct or third party with Harding Hotel??? No refunds..... Booked 3 nights at Harding for April 2020. We all are well aware of the current situation. Prepaid, agreed to no refund back months ago. Well, I ask if the world is on shut down, why would a business keep the customer's money, even though they are barely up and running themselves? Harding agreed to a 40% reimbursement, withholding 60% for themselves. If you go on their website now, you unable to make a reservation, guess they are closed? So, in the end, is it better to deal with third parties such as Booking.com that has agreed to cancel all my reservations with the hotel direct? Personally, this paints a good picture of the type of business Harding Hotel is. read more

I haven't stayed at the hotel, yet, but I had some issues with my reservation (my fault) and Tarik got me all sorted out. Great customer service!! read more

I could not have chosen a more centrally located, convenient, clean, comfy, affordable hotel in Dublin. He room was pretty bare bones - but I had no intention of spending much time there anyway. The room was very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, the heating system was easy to manage, the bathroom clean and very efficient. I usually have difficulty sleeping in hotel rooms and I slept like a baby my entire stay. I did wish there was an additional outlet in the room (I needed to unplug my TV for an outlet) but I am being a brat to even complain here about that. The view of Christ Church was beautiful and it really was lovely to hear the bells. Anyone complaining that they are being awoken by the bells of Christ Church while staying in lovely Dublin, needs a pinch. The Harding Hotel truly contributed to my having an absolutely wonderful time in Dublin. read more

I checked into this hotel and left the very next day. Once my room was ready I took a nap, and woke up with a few bites on my ankle. I thought it could have been from walking around or something so I didn't think to move rooms but after the nights sleep, I woke up the next day with a bunch more on both legs and ankles. YUCK. Definitely bed bugs. Avoid this hotel or at least room 204. I will say that the front desk staff was extremely kind and helpful. I arrived early and the girl let me know she would have my room ready as soon as she could and another girl running the front desk later on let me borrow an outlet adapter. BUT the bed bugs gives this hotel 1 star. GROSS read more

Great location. Average room. We stayed at Harding for 2 nights during July 2016. I had a mix up with my reservation and accidentally booked a single room when I needed a double. The receptionist was very polite and had no issues changing my room, for an extra charge, to a larger single (bed bigger than a twin but smaller than a double) which suited my wife and I just fine. We were very lucky as apparently the hotel was booked solid for the entire week. The room was very tiny but I assume it was meant to be for one person. There was just enough space for a bed, a night stand, a desk and the bathroom. Not much room to move around (probably 3 feet of space on each side of the bed). The location is the best thing about the hotel. Just blocks away from the Temple Bar district where there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. There is also a pub and bistro attached to the hotel. I have read some other reviews of people saying the pub was too loud and they could not sleep. My room was on the 3rd floor and I had no issues with noise and sleeping. 2 nights ran my wife and I about 225 euro. Overall it was a good experience. The staff was very nice, room was average, and location was great! I would stay here again just for the location. read more

Harding Hotel - Front of hotel - Hotels Near Me - Dublin, D

This is the hotel we spent two nights in in Dublin, and I'm a fan! Very friendly staff here, and the rooms are more than adequate, especially for the price (I think we paid 80 euro a night, which isn't too bad, especially in Dublin). The only thing I'd change is that the rooms are RIGHT near the pub, so if you try to go to bed at all before 10pm (which I did, because we had to be up so early!) it's difficult because of the noise from the pub. Still... It's a great place to stay! Just bring ear plugs if that really bothers you! PS: Free Wi-Fi was a HUGE perk. Yay! read more

Sometimes my hotel stays have me delighted on arrival, and it all goes downhill from there. The Harding Hotel was a rare case of me arriving disappointed and then it only gets better. My first impression of the hotel was it being very budget -- not in a minimalist or fun way, like some modern chains, but in a dorm room sort of way. There was cheap wooden furniture, a hard and thin mattress, and an industrial-looking bathroom. In the basement was a raucous bar that smelled of smoke, although to be clear smoking is not allowed inside. Over time I realized that the Harding Hotel is really very generous for the money you pay. Our room was enormous by European standards, and the bathroom even more so -- easily three times the size of anything else we encountered on the trip. Everything was clean. There was strong A/C and free wifi. The location was amazing. And the hotel was very quiet, despite being close to some popular (and overcrowded) nightlife destinations. Occasionally revelers outside would become annoying, but closing the windows nearly shut them out. One bizarre thing I need to point out -- if you don't like church bells, you may want to disappear for an hour or two during the day. It was just absurd how long they would ring sometimes! read more

Nice room in a great location. Attached pub darkey Kelleys was a great spot too. Parking a bit hard to find, so we had to walk 20 minutes. Would have been nice to know before hand that they discount if you park at the jury's hotel. But a nice room right across from Christ church cathedral read more

I just stayed in Dublin for a few days at the end of a business trip. The Harding was as nice as my work hotel for a third the price. AND it's so convenient to everything - even the 747 airport bus, which stops right outside. Given the value, I would rate it a ten, if I could. read more

Nice rooms and decent prices. Great location and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Stayed twice at this hotel during Spring of 2017. Each time, we had spacious rooms with updated clean bathrooms. They were well-insulated so noise was minimal. We traveled by cab or Uber so I don't know about parking. The location was central to many of the sightseeing spots. There was a nice pub and restaurant in the same building serving nice meals. We wetre very pleased with the Harding. read more

My wife and I stayed here for one evening in September. We were tired from a very long day of traveling from Malta. While the parking was 2 blocks away and a bit tricky to find, the location of this hotel was perfect. We enjoyed a great night at the pub downstairs. The fish and chips are delicious and the portions are HUGE. One order is plenty for 2! We really enjoyed the band and how they encouraged audience participation- one of the patrons had a great voice and added to the already accomplished musicians. BReakfast was great The manager was very accomodating -finding and bringing us our lost parking ticket! and helping with the luggage. only 4 stars because of the parking but otherwise 5 stars read more

The Harding Hotel provided us a wonderful accommodations experience in Dublin. We were originally scheduled to stay in Iceland and then fly to Ireland. After our initial flight was cancelled to Iceland, the hotel was nice enough to extend our stay 2 more days (last minute!) so that we could fly in early to Dublin. The location is perfect being off the busy and noisy Temple Bar district but also being only a 5min walk to Temple Bar and the river. It allows for walking distance to all the main sights in Dublin and there is a bus stop right outside. Our hotel room overlooked the courtyard of the Christ Church cathedral. The room was always cleaned well and we did not have any disturbances from outside noise our adjoining rooms. The front desk was tremendously accommodating to all our needs and quick to provide any suggestions for restaurants or live music that we were interested in. We certainly recommend the Harding House hotel for any stay that you may have in Dublin. read more

I've never written a review before but I would like to start with the Harding Hotel. The staff and location we're fantastic. The room was comfortable, clean and worked great for 3 people. The copper alley bistro attached to the hotel was not only delicious for breakfast in the mornings had very attentive staff and added a great start to our day. Darkey Kelly's was also a part of the hotel and I have to say one of best parts of our visit in Dublin. The staff Craig, Camilla and Mo we're absolutely fantastic! They were attentive, made us feel welcome and just genuinely some of the nicest people. We had a delicious dinner every night here(even my 13 year old daughter loved it), listened to great live music and had a great time. Thank you for helping make our trip so great!! read more

Stayed here for three nights. The prices are great, and the rooms pretty generous by European standards. I had a double bed as opposed to a single like many hotels provide, and the shower was very roomy. Good location too - right next to the river, and a lot of attractions in walking distance. The staff was very nice as well. One downside - the bar downstairs got pretty noisy a couple times during my stay and I could hear it from my room. For me that wasn't a huge issue, but I know for many people it would be a nuisance. But overall great hotel for what you're paying. read more

I stayed here on a trip to Dublin a while back. The staff was very gracious and generous and the location can't be beat. It was also a nice place. I'd definitely recommend it. read more

We travel to Ireland a lot and usually stay in different central hotels but having found The Harding Hotel for our last stay it is safe to say we will be back. For a city centre hotel the price is more than reasonable! The location is literally 5 minutes to either Temple Bar, River Liffey, Shopping Parades and many pubs and restaurants, 5* location. It is directly opposite Christ church cathedral so be warned there is the noise of bells and it is adjoined to Darkey Kellys pub so there's music noise but you can't expect anything different in Dublin City Centre! The bistro attached is fantastic value for money and the food is perfect, staff very friendly too. The room itself was adequate, large in size and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. A new shower design would be beneficial as the whole bathroom gets completely soaked each time you shower. Staff on reception desk bent over backwards to be helpful and you can store your luggage with the hotel free of charge before check in or after check out. read more
