Vergogna!!

L'hotel non mi ha accettato per 30 minuti di ritardo. Attenzione al cliente pari a zero. Ho dovuto restare per strada visto che Dublino era piena.

Very central location, ideal for staggering back after a dozen pints. Miniscule toilet and washroom. It was too small for me and I'm 80kg.

Violet was exceptional to deal with! Absolutely loved the room, it was quiet and very secure. You're right in the Temple Bar hot spot yet far enough down the street to not be overwhelmed with all the tourists. I would definitely stay there again!!

The checkin instructions are unclear, and you can easily loose you money here and get nothing in return

Peace and quiet right in Temple Bar

Violet Lodge was a fantastic place for us, a newlywed couple, to spend a couple nights in the heart of Dublin. Not the most spacious of places, it was still more than enough for 2 people to spread out. And it exits right into the Temple Bar area, where plenty of options for food, drink, nightlife, and tourism. Finally, it does a fantastic job of not leaking any noise from said nightlife into the units. The other point I would mention is that this is not exactly a capital H hotel and is closer to something you may expect from accommodations from a bed and breakfast (minus Breakfast) It was fantastic and Violet herself was very courteous

The location was excellent, and the room was comfortable and security was good. It was just being repainted and generally in good repair. Staff was friendly and courteous.
