We stayed at the Wellington Temple Bar for the tail end of our honeymoon, so we splurged for a room with a balcony. I emailed the hotel before we arrived to confirm, and upon arrival, they gave us the best corner room since it was our honeymoon! So sweet. The front desk folks were all very nice each day/night. Our room was beautiful, very clean, and I found the little drawer under the coffee shelf to be very handy for my makeup, jewelry, etc.
Yes, it's Temple Bar, so there is noise, but we expected it and usually got back to the room during last call (or after) for the pub downstairs. We found the location to be very handy, with the Luas stop across the river and a couple of blocks up, and bus stops very close by.
Again, so thankful for the sweet staff! We'll definitely stay here next time.
Head down the street to Stage Door Cafe for breakfast if you do!
