Our stay at Kennedy's Pub was very good. The staff were friendly and attentive to restocking our room with the essentials (e.g., towels, soap, earplugs, etc.). The room is simple and straightforward, and all you need for a homebase as you explore Dublin. The only thing missing, and it is minor, is that there is no safe in your room so you need to plan for that. The accommodations have a classic pub vibe which is great. There is live music playing most evenings until quite late but the staff provide earplugs by default. The music was really good though for the days we stayed there so even though it plays late, that wasn't an issue. If we are back in Dublin we'll look to book again.
