Zanzibar Locke, Ha'penny Bridge

Great space, we were super surprised. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Allowing us to leave our bags before and after check in is always a nice bonus. The room was spacious and more than exceeded our expectations. The bed was so comfy we didn’t want to leave 😂 10/10 would stay here again!

We stayed in a small studio apartment which was supposed to be self catering. Some crockery was provided, but no cutlery at all, not even a spoon! |The café attached to the block, Hello Charlie, was great for coffee and pastries but no breakfast to speak of; you would have to go elsewhere. You could order takeout, but there was no dining table. |Great location though.

A friend from Australia recommended Locke accommodation and we decided on the Zanzibar. Their location is very central to a local, mixed business and funky area with heaps to see, eat and do. We did the e-bike sightseeing tour, ate fabulous Japanese food next door at Yamamori and danced the night away to some Urban Afro at the Grand Social Nightclub just around the corner. Zanzibar Locke was a great base, well secured, helpful staff and we had a sizeable room. The vibe was a bit rushed and detached but it's a busy time of the year. Warm carpets would have made our room a lot cosier and a good coffee machine for those who like their morning café would have been great.

In a great location easy to walk to all the popular tourist areas. It is just across the bridge from Temple bar, few mins walk to O O’Connell street, Trinity Collage. Lots of restaurants Cafes in area. Was quiet no big hen/stag parties, suitable for family and tourists. Felt safe in area. Easy access to trains, buses, tram etc

We loved this hotel because it was clean, safe, convenient to a lot of restaurants, walking distance to Trinity College and Christ Church Cathedral, and near several souvenir shops (if that's your thing). They had a combination washer-dryer in the room which is great if you need it. We were there our first night so didn't use it, but still. Highly recommend this hotel!

What a fantastic property for exploring Dublin. Early check-in (I was one hour early) ran €30. The front desk staff was very friendly and did a great job explaining the property and amenities. I appreciated there were several challenge points where you needed a key card to access areas of the property. It might be a hassle to constantly scan your card, but the security was good peace of mind.||||Pros: ||> Convenient access to buses, the Luas, and the DART||> Central location to walk to Temple Bar, Trinity College, Dublin Castle, Grafton Street, and all the others must-see areas||> Ample space in the Locke Studio for two people||> High floor river view suite had great views of Temple Bar||||Cons:||> Lack of bar/restaurant on property||> Lighting in the rooms can be a bit dim||||Honestly this is a well-priced property in the middle of everything you could want to do in Dublin. It is already on the short list for my next visit to the city.

Nice hotel, location is the best, you are on the other side of the river so you can escape all the noise and craziness of temple bar. The hotel and rooms smell amazing and the rooms are great. Awesome AC and showers! A few things that could improve: the staff, while nice, seemed very disconnected and at times not confident enough. They can be a bit more friendly and welcoming. They are I. Ireland after all! The lighting of the room can also improve, it makes it so hard to move around and get things done like packing/unpacking. Also, be aware that there is construction going on close by so if sleeping in late you may hear some noise but it didn’t bother us. Overall great hotel and highly recommended for Dublin! Would stay again!!

Spectacular location, super chic rooms and beautiful aesthetic. You feel instantly relaxed when you walk into check-in, with a lovely cafe and quiet work space adjoining the lobby. Rooms are spacious, spotless, and the bed was super comfy. Highly recommend this place and will be staying there every time I return to Dublin.
