Our room was very nice and the staff were helpful and professional. Unfortunately, the location is far from ideal - parking is offered at 2 remote locations, which is inconvenient. The biggest problem was the noise and disturbance from the night clubs across the street, which disrupted our sleep for all 3 nights we were there, added to which, construction on a neighboring building started early in the morning.. Not much the owners can do about the location but think twice if you want a good night's sleep read more

Harrington Hall is just step away from St Stephen's Green. And as they say, location, location, location. As I wrote in my Tip, when you make a reservation here, or when are checking in, always ask for a room in the rear. The windows do block most of the street noise in front, but the trams(photo) starts at 5 am and there's always someone singing a tune at 2 am (there are two Clubs directly across the street). The front desk and housekeeping both freely dispense ear plugs if you are interested. But with that shortcoming aside, this is a grand place to stay. Our Suite was a converted two storey sitting parlor (photos), with a King sized bed located above the bath and WC. It wasn't the easiest to navigate when nature calls at three am, but we loved it and would definitely come back. Enjoy, with some reservations. If we were in the back, this would definitely be a s Four or Five Star Review. read more

First: Go in expecting to wear earplugs to sleep. Especially if you stay a Friday or Saturday night. Luckily if you arrive unprepared, they provide earplugs in the side drawer near the bed. The club across the street is loud. You can hear the music every time the door opens, and there are people milling about outside. But you can tell the hotel has really tried its best to adjust. There were two layers of windows in our room, but the earplugs were still required. Otherwise it's really a sweet little hotel. It's a bit old, and some parts of the public stairwell area seemed a little worn, particularly the sofas that were sitting out on the landings... but mostly the place has been well taken care of, and it's clean! The staff is very friendly and professional. You get an old fashioned key for your room, so prepare to turn that in when you go out during the day. No big deal. Kind of makes the place feel old fashioned and fancy! Close to Trinity College and Temple Bar areas. Easy walk to shopping and parks. They provide a very small parking lot for free in the back. But I don't recommend driving in Dublin. At. All. read more

Harrington Hall - Front entrance to hotel. - Guest Houses Near Me - Dublin, D

Rooms at the back are NOT quieter than rooms in the front. I'm at the back now, and after having listened to a concert until well past 10pm on the Green directly adjacent the bar noise, which was equally loud, lasted until 4am. It was much the same last night. We've shut the windows to it, only to make our sauna-like room even hotter, I fear. And I don't think it even hit 70 today. On our arrival, there were broken floor tiles in the toilet, and one of the lamps by the bed didn't work. We let reception know, and they repaired the lamp and put duct tape all over the bathroom floor to hold down the shards of death. The positives are free parking, solid wifi, and adequate cleanliness. We also enjoyed chilling in the lobby, which was quieter than the room, and has a killer chandelier and ceiling. The location is only an asset if you are going to stay out late and/or want to walk to the swanky 20-something clubs and pubs nearby. If not, then even a few blocks away would be better (quieter). read more

Harrington Hall had a good offer for one specific night that I needed a hotel. I looked at its pictures and thought well, that will do. Booked - saved money - arrived. The receptionist was very polite and brought my suitcase to my room since I had to leave quickly and check in later. When I got back in the afternoon, I was told my room is downstairs. In Germany buildings are different.. Hotels never offer rooms below ground floor (as far as I know). Anyways I went downstairs and was surprised how big the room and windows were. Still I didn't like the vibe down there- but that might be a personal thing. The bedroom and bathroom both seemed very old but clean. The smell was a bit musty though.. Then the night came. I was so tired and looking forward to get some sleep. But no. I felt like the big parties going on (thursday) night were RIGHT in front of my room!! And so much noise by the tram and car's horns alllll night! I was ready to fight! At least in my short dreams.. Next morning after like two hours of sleep I was happy to leave. Again this wouldn't work out as planned. Opening the door I noticed it got stuck so I had to call the reception to have someone open the room from the outside. "Oh sure I will send someone!" ..5 minutes later "HELLO? (Adele style)" "Wait I am sending someone". Finally someone got me out of the room and I almost ran out the house. Harrington Hall .. I rather won't be back. read more

Harrington Hall is beautiful. At a staggeringly good price of fifty euro on the hotels tonight app, we were welcomed in a friendly enough, albeit not very enthusiastic, manner, and directed to our room. First impressions; it was HUGE. The furniture was old and though simple, decadent. Dark wood and high ceilings with two chairs by two windows on which to drink your tea and speak to one another in old, English, aristocratic accents. The whole place was very clean and though on harcourt street; deafeningly quiet; we ha a room at the top and the back so perhaps that's why. The only negatives were that the tv didn't work which when went and mentioned to the guy at reception who told us that he knew; it was the signal and someone was trying to fix it. I'm not sure if this was true or that he just didn't have anyone/want to look at it himself, it was not fixed at all during our stay. Also if he did know prior to our arrival, it would've been nice for him to let us know. Second, which seems maybe a little fussy; the attention to detail was lacking a bit for me. Small things that make your stay a bit easier and that bit more special like biscuits with the tea, bottles of water so that you don't have to use the bathroom sink; things like that, would've been nice. Over all; this place was great, so great. I would definitely come here again, so central you would not expect to find such a charming, characterful accommodation but this place has it all. read more

Within walking distance to many great sights and transportation systems. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The bathtub was deep and luxurious. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The ONLY reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is the noise. Every night, there was noise outside all night long. It's not really their fault, but I would hesitate to stay there if I needed to sleep through the night. There were also no room fridge or vending on site. read more

Harrington Hall is one of my favourite hotels in Dublin. It is an impressive small townhouse that offers Georgian elegance and a really warm welcome and personal touch. It is sumptuous and rich and decadent in decor and furnishings and lighting. Check out the heavy drapes and crystal chandeliers all framed by the original and beautifully restored Georgian features! The bedrooms are lovely but they are not modern or chic or have any of those clean lines that lots of new hotels boast of but that is what makes this hotel so wonderful and different! The breakfast here is simply fabulous and you can indulge until your top button has to be undone on a really great traditional Irish breakfast and lots and fresh fruit and juices but the best are the omelette's made to your order! read more

Apparently, don't stay here on a Saturday night if you ever want to sleep. It is SO LOUD on the street from pubs and night clubs. You can hear the music from the clubs, drunk people yelling, horns honking. I'm at Harrington Hall right now, writing this at 4:30am because of all the noise. This is bad! read more

This hotel is situated on Hracourt street so perfect for the city centre and st Stephens park. The public rooms are lovely, full of character etc and its very homely.However the bedrooms are a little tired although very clean. The hotel is very noisy as its on the main street with nightclubs along the road and be prepared to be woken at 3am when the nightclubs empty. the night i stayed it was very noisy and taxis were queued on the street making a lot of noise for a good 90 mins. Also a soon as the tram starts agan you can hear the bell etc. Not a restful night at all. read more

This is a difficult one. On one hand, you can't beat the location, the hotel is small but lovely, it's very clean, the breakfast is very good and the staff are truly fantastic. And I got a very good price. On the other hand, like many others mentioned, there are several nightclubs across the street that go until nearly 5 AM. you'll hear the music and drunks yelling in the wee hours if you have the window open. When the nightclub finally closes -- you'll then hear bells clanging for stops by Dublin's intercity train. It runs right past the hotel. Bottom line: If you're a very light sleeper- maybe not your kind of place. If you can sleep through the apocalypse- give it a go. There are earplugs in the nightstand drawer read more

If you like sleeping, don't stay at this hotel. Cars honking and music blasting from the night club across the street literally all night. Not to mention, no air conditioning in the stuffy rooms so there is no choice but to attempt to sleep with the windows open. read more

A nice guest house tucked in behind St Stephen's green, in a beautifully renovated Georgian style. Rooms are modern and quiet, breakfast was delicious. The best part--free parking in the rear of the guest house, but it is first come first serve! read more

Location is great, but that's all they've got going for them. The street is very loud with many pubs and our room's only window was facing this street. They don't have a hair dryer in the room, you need to borrow one from the front desk when you want to use it, which is unbelievably annoying. The light switches in the room are all connected so you can't keep the ceiling fan on with the light off, or the bathroom light off with the room light on. You get the point, totally annoying. The staff are pleasant though. read more
