Check-in is available from 4 PM, and check-out is by 11 AM.

You can drop your luggage from 12 PM to 2 PM before check-in at The Beer Temple pub, our sister property located at the corner of Parliament St and Dame St.

Please note: We're located in the middle of Temple Bar, Dublin's entertainment district. The area can be quite noisy - we don't recommend our accommodation for elderly guests, families with young children or people sensitive to noise.
Being in the heart of Temple Bar means you'll be surrounded by Dublin's most vibrant nightlife. While this central location offers incredible convenience and atmosphere, it does mean the area is lively, especially during evenings and weekends. To ensure your comfort, we provide two pairs of earplugs in each room's nightstand. We apologize for any inconvenience and recommend light sleepers consider this aspect when booking.
For non-urgent queries related to your reservation, please email us directly.
If you need assistance on your day of arrival or during your stay, please approach a staff member at The Beer Temple pub, our sister property, located at the corner of Parliament St and Dame St.
