By the Ha’penny bridge on the other side of the Liffey from Temple Bar. Great place to explore Dublin from. Friendly and helpful staff. I will undoubtedly return here.
This was my first time staying at a Locke property, but it won’t be my last. I loved the convenience of this hotel due it being in the heart of Dublin. The hotel staff were kind and extremely helpful. The rooms were nice, cozy and (most importantly) clean. I loved everything about my stay. Can’t wait to come back in the future.
One of my favorite hotels of all time. Staff are friendly and helpful. Transport options are aplenty - including a bus stop for the Dublin Express (to/from airport) 5 mins walk away. Kitchenette and washer/dryer in the room are useful and made my stay more comfortable. Decor is chic. Pubs, restaurants, coffee, shopping, tourist attractions all walking distance from hotel. On-site cafe.
Fantastic hotel, definitely the spot I would be staying on my next trip to Dublin! This is the one to book if you plan on being in Dublin and want to explore the city!

Nice place to stay
Lovely place to stay for week in Dublin - close to everywhere and just across river from the busy Temple area. Loved the apartment feel. Little struggle with the washing machine but front desk helpful and responsive. Comfortable.
Great location. Clean. Well equipped kitchen. Was expecting a washer/dryer in the apartment but there wasn’t one. But there is a communal one available.
We were on the second floor overlooking the river, great view. Downside was there were about 10 steps to go up after the elevator. Not good with a child’s stroller.
Seemed pretty quiet. Spacious room.
Would stay again. Friendly front desk staff, easy check-in.
Absolutely fantastic hotel! Was so impressed with the staff here who were incredibly attentive and ensured our stay was as smooth as possible whether it be looking after our bags before we could check in, or giving us recommendations on the local area. It’s in a brilliant location which made it really easy for us to explore without needing to walk loads. The room was very comfortable and we had everything we needed (and more). Would absolutely recommend staying here.
The staff are absolutely MARVELOUS, proper lovely people. They are genuinely kind and caring. The hotel is fun, quirky, clean, centrally located and easy to find. Plenty of transportation available. A nearby car park as well. Just a great place to stay. I've already booked my next stay.
The front desk staff was very friendly.
Location close to many things and walkable to a wide variety of restaurants.
It was nice to have access to a washer and dryer and kitchenette after a week of travel.
The cafe downstairs is lovely and very convenient.
Such a lovely little hotel, has everything you need and staff are so helpful! The coffee shop is great too
