The hotel and staff were nice, we had a studio room because we wanted to use the washer and dryer, but it turned out they had those in several other floor plans. The room stayed quite humid and felt a little untidy/smelly due to the once a week housecleaning and lack of any kind of air flow, and we had to do dishes and takes out our own trash. We also received quite a bit of pushback when we asked for clean towels and an extra blanket. I'd also say the cafe was nice and quite busy. When we used the washer and dryer it took and incredibly long time and was outrageously loud, so we only ended up being able to do two loads on our last day. Overall it wasn't a bad stay but next time I'd look for somewhere with more services or at least easier to use services.

Awesome place to stay while in Dublin.
The staff was very prompt on our requests. They told us checking in they do not service the room every day during your stay, which was fine with us. The first morning we did not have any shampoo, conditioner or body wash in the bottles in the shower. My husband did go to the front desk to get some but this might be something to check, things like refills prior to a new person stay. Also, it would be nice to have some wash cloths in the bathrooms, my husband uses one in the shower. I loved the large towels and the drying rack, the towels were dry for the next time and so warm. The room was great and had everything we needed include a small kitchen which came in very handy in the mornings, since we purchased pastries in the little cafe in the hotel and ate them in our room. We also had two awesome restaurants, The Winding Stair and Woolen Mills just steps from our hotel. Also, the original Temple Bar and Temple Bar area was just across Liffey River from the hotel. Great location! Great place to stay conveniently located and great staff, who are very helpful and provide great service.

Incredible place to stay which seems more like an apartment than a hotel. Although I never used it, you have access to washer/dryers as well. Very good location near the Temple Bar area and you will find no shortage of places to go for good food and good fun.

The property is impeccably clean, and it is in the heart of the city close to everything.The two issues are the water temperature for the showers was too low, sometimes only reaching lukewarm and the beds which seem kind of cheap. If you move too abruptly on them you risk popping out the wooden slats that support the mattress which happened twice during our stay. If these two items were remedied, it would be 5 stars in my opinion

Great place
At first we thought the price was a bit over the top but on arrival in the apartment we realized why. The apartment itself was a great size and zoned off very well. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, dishwasher, washer and microwave/oven combo plus all the utensils you would need to eat in, which we did for evening meals. On arrival at check in the staff were friendly and informative, we even got into our room even though it was only 10am in the morning and check in wasn't till 3pm (very handy). The bathroom was a good size and had a variety of showering essentials. Also good size towel. Seating was comfortable as was the bed, which was good after all the sight seeing we did. The hotel is ideally situated and although in the centre it was relatively quiet. The staff have been great throughout our stay making it easy to obtain extra brewing essentials. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again. Well done and keep up the good work.

Pretty much perfect
Everything about the Locke was awesome. The location is epic. More about that later. New, clean, easy to access. 20ish minutes from the airport. Rooms were on the small side but that is be expected in Ireland. Very well appointed with a small kitchen. Bed was comfortable. The only thing to know is that the location is on the Liffey River and across the street from Temple Bar. So, the birds in the morning are loud. And Temple Bar is rowdy at night until late. Expect noise until late at night and the fecking seagulls are at it at 5am.

The Biggest takeaway or gift about this place, is that they allowed us to extend our departure by two (2) hours. They gave us all that we needed on the daily. Would definitely recommend!!

Amazing stay, great area with access by foot to anything you want to do. Room was comfortable, clean and had everything you need. Need to search for the utensils but just ask if you can’t find the hidden drawer. I’d give this hotel 5 out of 5!
