The hotel was more like a 3* accomadation. Fantastic facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. Location excellent for Temple Bar( drinks expensive!), 5-10 mins walk to local town centre/tourist information centre(cheap deals for tours). Plenty of historical place to visit and shops for the ladies! Recommend local open-air tour bus,good value.
Downside hotel pub, live Irish bands were a bit anti-British with some of their songs, shame.
Overall would recommend, take plenty of money!!!

We stayed in the Harding Hotel in January for a long weekend.

Location: The hotel is in a good location, very close to the centre and also close to Temple Bar. Although the hotel is on a main road we didn't have any problem with noise and the church bells weren't an issue for us either. We stayed in a room on the top floor so this probably helped.

Staff: The staff were generally friendly and helpful although it was sometimes difficult to get the attention of the person on reception as they were generally too busy on the computer or telephone.

Room: The room was spacious and clean and had everything that you would expect.

Food: We only ate breakfast at the hotel but the food was very nice and we liked the fact that breakfast was served until midday.

Overall: We would certainly recommend this hotel especially for the amount that we paid. This is one of the cheaper hotels in Dublin but you wouldn't know it once you're there.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in February. We found the staff friendly and always willing to help.Breakfast was very filling. Evening meal was good value for money especially in Dublin we paid about 15Euros for three courses so we ate there both nights. Rooms were clean and well equipped with tea coffee and sugar. The bar had a good atmosphere with many locals in it so we ended up spending most of the one evening in there. We had no problems with noise but we'd had a good drink. Temple bar was only a couple of minutes walk away.
I loved this hotel and booked to go back in September.

we stayed 2 nights and found it excellent value, the staff were very friendly, the rooms were a good size and very clean and we also had a full irish breakfast as part of our deal and it was excellent.
we will stay at the harding again hopefully very soon and for longer [ didnt notice the bells maybe the guinness drowned them out!!! ]
