Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge
Fantastic location Everything within walking distance or bus Love that I could open the window, no refrigerator in the room but there is a safe Everything was so clean. But one thing to perhaps update would be the shower curtain, it looked clean just a slight musty scent

Beckett Locke
Everyone was so kind and anything we needed help with they were right on it. Would recommend this stay highly. only thing which has nothing to do with the hotel itself, but the distance to Temple bar area for walking is about 40 minutes which sucks but other than that this stay was great.
