Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Cambridge, United Kingdom413 contributions439 helpful votes
The Harding is always our top choice of hotel whenever we visit Dublin. Everything about the hotel is excellent. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. The ironing facilities and small fridge in the room were very helpful in particular. My room was on the 3rd floor right near the lifts and had a large comfortable bed. Very spacious room with a small table and chairs to sit at as well. The staff here are all super friendly. checkout is 11am but I requested to check out slightly later (12pm is the latest you can do) and the receptionist was able to arrange this for me. The have bag storage facilities if needed. Location is exceptional, right near Temple Bar. The bar attached to the hotel is the best bar in Dublin. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel and always adds to the excellent experiences we have in Dublin.

We came here for 4 nights and it is honestly a lovely hotel in a very good location. Staff are all really friendly and really helpful should you need advice or help with places to go. The room was quite big to my surprise and has a tv, an iron, tea and coffee and a fridge. We found our sleeps okay as we didn’t really hear much other than the church bells. My only downfall is that check in isn’t until 2pm but they do offer somewhere very secure for your bags should you have arrived earlier, also we leave today and we have the option to lock it away as we don’t fly until later. I do have to mention as well that should they have a room ready they will let you know which I think is great as we had an extremely early flight with little sleep so we appreciated that greatly. Overall, this is where I’d choose to stay coming back to Dublin. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

An excellent hotel for the price. Stayed midweek with young children. Staff on reception were incredibly helpful. Room was comfy and a good size. Food downstairs in Darkey Kelly's was hearty and tasty. The breakfast was a lá carte rather than buffet - substantial portions and tasty. Great location next to Christchurch. Will stay again.

Great location and peaceful sleep despite our original concerns of any noise from adjoining pub Darkey Kellys, which was a great additional bonus to our stay. The room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed, bed was huge! Breakfast in the Copper Alley bistro next door was fabulous and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning for another stay, very happy to find this little gem. Big shout out to Emma on reception for her honest, helpful advice and recommendations.

All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. We'd asked for a quiet room and were on the top floor, at the back. The room was spacious and had a fridge, tea/coffee facilities. There was also a trouser press and iron. Plenty of hanging space and a basic but functional shower. All in all good value for money, in a great location. Added bonus, both the attached bar (Darkey Kelly's) and restaurant (Cooper Alley Bistro) are both very good, and highly recommended.

The hotel was wonderful. It is accessible by wheelchair and very beautiful. The staff is friendly. The restaurant is wonderful as well. There is a bar with live music but it was too crowded for us to get into the two weekend nights we were there but we heard some great live music coming from it. The room was clean and comfortable. The location was excellent right int he middle of everything we walked (rolled) to several shops, pubs, and such right around the hotel.

Went to Dublin for NYear stayed at The Harding from 30/12-01/01 …. Was the best part of our trip. Room was spotless,spacious very warm & had all facilities.Reception staff so lovely & welcoming .. accommodated our check in earlier , even at such a busy time of year, & accommodated the request of single beds. Stayed 20 years ago with my family … before the days of reviews… so glad I chose to come back to this amazing hotel. I am diabetic & had a major op 5 weeks prior to stay & after a lot of walking & low blood sugar they were fantastic even offering some extra time in room to settle myself which was truely above & beyond. Am so glad I chose to come back & if you are unsure of where to go,walk , what route or places to go or see the reception are so knowledgable haha Thankyou to everyone there

Incredible hotel!! Location is perfect, everything is within walking distance! We absolutely loved it here, as soon as you step in you are greeted with warm and friendly welcome, we arrived around 11am and were given a room straight away. The room was lovely, very large bed, plenty of pillows, good lighting and a suitable washroom that had toiletries (2 soaps, shower gel, shower cap, shampoo and conditioner) . Tea and coffee making facilities, mini fridge, safe, hair dryer, everything that you could want/need. The Cherry on top was the adjoining pub, Darkey Kelly's was incredible, live music, good choice of drinks, beautiful decorations and amazing staff. We loved it there, 100% recommend the guiness beef stew!! We will be recommending this hotel to our friends/ family and would return in a heart beat, thank you for making our holiday 😊

Wow. Wow. Wow. I don’t often struggle for words, but I am writing this review, as I don’t think anything I put into words will do this hotel justice. I am someone who travels to Dublin multiple times a year, as I absolutely LOVE the place! We have stayed in many hotels over the years, but never this one. In this visit, it was a trip with my dad (who has visited Dublin once previously and fell in love with Darkey Kelly’s attached to the hotel) this was the reason I booked the Harding Hotel. I booked via Expedia, and was so shocked at how reasonable the price of our booking was, I emailed the hotel ahead of our stay to confirm they had our booking and it was correct, it indeed was! Check in was 2pm, and we arrived around 11am in hopes of having our bags stored and start our day. To our delight, we arrived and were welcome by the most friendly receptionist, who informed us that our room was ready! After being up since 3am, this was an amazing start, we were able to check in, drop our bags in the room and freshen up, before heading back out. The hotel location is in what I consider to be perfect for exploring the city, and was walking distance to a lot of the main tourist attractions, including the Guinness Storehouse, Teelings Distillery, Grafton Street, Molly Malone and Leo Burdock’s fish and chips! Our favourite feature was the fact that Darkey Kelly’s was accessible from our hotel (just a few second walk down a ramp and straight into the bar)!! The room was immaculate and shower was lovely and hot. Everything needed was provided such as towels, shower gel, shampoo, shower cap and soap. Every member of staff we come across was friendly, helpful and accommodating and always greeted us and wished us well as we walked through reception. I honestly cannot recommend this hotel enough and will 100% be booking all of our future stays here. Thank you so much for the most amazing stay and for being a part of the fabulous memories we have made during our recent trip!
