Harrington Hall

Harrington Hall had a good offer for one specific night that I needed a hotel. I looked at its pictures and thought well, that will do.
Booked — saved money — arrived.
The receptionist was very polite and brought my suitcase to my room since I had to leave quickly and check in later.
When I got back in the afternoon, I was told my room is downstairs.
In Germany buildings are different. Hotels never offer rooms below ground floor (as far as I know). Anyways I went downstairs and was surprised how big the room and windows were.
Still I didn’t like the vibe down there– but that might be a personal thing. The bedroom and bathroom both seemed very old but clean. The smell was a bit musty though.
Then the night came. I was so tired and looking forward to get some sleep. But no. I felt like the big parties going on (thursday) night were RIGHT in front of my room! And so much noise by the tram and car’s horns alllll night! I was ready to fight! At least in my short dreams.
Next morning after like two hours of sleep I was happy to leave. Again this wouldn’t work out as planned.
Opening the door I noticed it got stuck so I had to call the reception to have someone open the room from the outside. «Oh sure I will send someone!»
.5 minutes later «HELLO? (Adele style)»
«Wait I am sending someone».
Finally someone got me out of the room and I almost ran out the house.
Harrington Hall. I rather won’t be back.

Harrington Hall is just step away from St Stephen’s Green. And as they say, location, location, location.
As I wrote in my Tip, when you make a reservation here, or when are checking in, always ask for a room in the rear. The windows do block most of the street noise in front, but the trams (photo) starts at 5 am and there’s always someone singing a tune at 2 am (there are two Clubs directly across the street).
The front desk and housekeeping both freely dispense ear plugs if you are interested. But with that shortcoming aside, this is a grand place to stay.
Our Suite was a converted two storey sitting parlor (photos), with a King sized bed located above the bath and WC. It wasn’t the easiest to navigate when nature calls at three am, but we loved it and would definitely come back.
Enjoy, with some reservations. If we were in the back, this would definitely be a s Four or Five Star Review.

Harrington Hall is beautiful.
At a staggeringly good price of fifty euro on the hotels tonight app, we were welcomed in a friendly enough, albeit not very enthusiastic, manner, and directed to our room.
First impressions; it was HUGE. The furniture was old and though simple, decadent. Dark wood and high ceilings with two chairs by two windows on which to drink your tea and speak to one another in old, English, aristocratic accents.
The whole place was very clean and though on harcourt street; deafeningly quiet; we ha a room at the top and the back so perhaps that’s why.
The only negatives were that the tv didn’t work which when went and mentioned to the guy at reception who told us that he knew; it was the signal and someone was trying to fix it. I’m not sure if this was true or that he just didn’t have anyone/​want to look at it himself, it was not fixed at all during our stay. Also if he did know prior to our arrival, it would’ve been nice for him to let us know.
Second, which seems maybe a little fussy; the attention to detail was lacking a bit for me. Small things that make your stay a bit easier and that bit more special like biscuits with the tea, bottles of water so that you don’t have to use the bathroom sink; things like that, would’ve been nice.
Over all; this place was great, so great. I would definitely come here again, so central you would not expect to find such a charming, characterful accommodation but this place has it all.

This hotel is situated on Hracourt street so perfect for the city centre and st Stephens park.
The public rooms are lovely, full of character etc and its very homely. However the bedrooms are a little tired although very clean.
The hotel is very noisy as its on the main street with nightclubs along the road and be prepared to be woken at 3am when the nightclubs empty. the night i stayed it was very noisy and taxis were queued on the street making a lot of noise for a good 90 mins. Also a soon as the tram starts agan you can hear the bell etc. Not a restful night at all.

Harrington Hall is one of my favourite hotels in Dublin. It is an impressive small townhouse that offers Georgian elegance and a really warm welcome and personal touch.
It is sumptuous and rich and decadent in décor and furnishings and lighting. Check out the heavy drapes and crystal chandeliers all framed by the original and beautifully restored Georgian features!
The bedrooms are lovely but they are not modern or chic or have any of those clean lines that lots of new hotels boast of but that is what makes this hotel so wonderful and different!
The breakfast here is simply fabulous and you can indulge until your top button has to be undone on a really great traditional Irish breakfast and lots and fresh fruit and juices but the best are the omelette’s made to your order!

A nice guest house tucked in behind St Stephen’s green, in a beautifully renovated Georgian style. Rooms are modern and quiet, breakfast was delicious. The best part – free parking in the rear of the guest house, but it is first come first serve!
