Harcourt Hotel

"The reviews from 10+ years ago complaining about the noise are still 100% accurate. You can hear everything coming from the rooms above you, beneath you, and beside you. You'll be kept awake by the music from the bar if you're on the back of the building, and you'll hear traffic or construction if you're on the front side. The only measure taken to help with noise is the pair of earplugs that have been provided, which do not help much. The room is definitely outdated and small. The built-in USB plugs that are inconveniently placed on the far side of the room didn't work. The bathroom was tiny, cramped, and had loose floor tiles. The hot water in the shower was inconsistent and fluctuated between lukewarm and scalding. The staff was helpful and courteous. They were one of the two redeeming qualities of the hotel. The other was location; the hotel is reasonably close to quite a few historic sites."

"stayed in, you can hear everything, people staying in the other rooms, people walking in the staircase, drunk people out on the street until early in the morning. The walls and windows are paper thin. There are no electrical outlets near the bed so you cannot charge your phone near the bed at night. This hotel still thinks that having carpet floors is a great feature. No idea how they clean it properly. It’s old and dated and worn out. When you shower the water all of a sudden stops working. Breakfast was awful if you do not eat meat. Almost nothing that is not containing meat or other animal products. The staff do not care about your feedback and will not try to make your stay anymore pleasant. My recommendation is to choose another hotel. Unless you don’t mind disappointments, because then this hotel is the perfect fit for you."

"The staff at this hotel deserve a mention. From the receptionist, Alicia, to the waiter, Toma, to each and every member of staff we encountered were so helpful, pleasant and professional that we will definitely return.. The room was spotlessly clean, well equipped and quiet (we were at the back of the hotel). We had lunch in the restaurant the Thai Curry was really tasty tasty, not too hot but very flavoursome. The hotel itself was decorated beautifully for Christmas and really put us all in the festive spirit. So close to everything in the city, very walkable and, although we didn't need to use it, there's a Luas stop outside. One stop brings to to the beautiful St. Stephen's Green."

"Had a great stay here. It's by no means the most luxurious place I've ever been and certainly has slightly dated decor, but it's cheap and cheerful. Reasonable price for a stay in Dublin. Main thing is it's clean and the rooms are big enough. Also, the breakfast is pretty great!"

"Beware!!!! This hotel sits directly on top of a nightclub. No matter what part of the hotel your room is on you will hear loud music until 3 am. Rooms and interior are dated. Hotel keys often dont work. Staff is pleasant and helpful. You can do a lot better practically anywhere else."
