Location is just too noisy. Music and antisocial behaviour outside past 4am means you won’t sleep at all. They do provide earplugs which we all used, but it didn’t make a difference. Room doesn’t have anywhere to hang a jacket or put your clothes which was annoying. Check in wasn’t easy- we had to speak to bar staff who had to call someone else and we had to wait etc, then when we tried to use the door to the room we were given into trouble and told to go the other way (even though the staff member had taken us this way just a few hours prior). It was a bit all over the place.. Clean though and done what we needed I.e. bed to sleep in and decent shower

Nothing.

The Norseman is in the heart of Temple Bar--Party Central--but things were quiet by midnight. The room was small but comfortable and very clean. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Very noisy at night, you can’t sleep until 4 am there is live music in the street in front of the hotel, many people celebrating, of course you are at temple bar ;) windows don’t shut tight but you als can’t open them to get some fresh air. Council cleaning vehicle very noisy at about 3:30 am.

Requirement to check in at the main bar was not clear and difficult due to how busy it was

Clean and great location

Beyond our control - there was a plumbing issue on our first day preventing shower use until later in the day. Not a major inconvenience, and it was resolved as quickly as possible and handled professionally by staff. While it was disclosed upfront, there were lots of steps and no lifts - not a problem for those who are physically able, but we had members of our group who found it to be a challenge.

Our group had a great time! Location was perfect for our plans. Alex was very helpful, kind and funny. He was probably one of the hardest working staff members - he was everywhere from cleaning out bins in the early day to the bar in evening. In fact, we left Dublin for a few days and when we returned we went back to say hello and to bring new members of our group to meet him and to enjoy fun, music and drinks at The Norseman, but it was his night off! We will just have to return again in the future! The Norseman is my new favorite place to stay when in Dublin!

Room was too small for 3 people plus luggage. No storage space.

Great location.

The noise. The street noise was loud. Now, you are offered ear plugs to offset the noise. However, the noise is expected. I do not recommend this hotel for people children. There was no closet space or even a hook on the wall to hang anything. No under bed storage or dressers. Our luggage was all over our room.

The location was fantastic. In the heart of the action. Close to the river, close to pubs and restaurants. It was my first trip to Dublin. Glad I picked Norseman.

Our toilet kept plugging and was quite inconvenient.

The location was fantastic and the staff at the pub were very helpful.

Very noisy even with the ear plugs. The noise had little to do with the bar/club music but everything to do with what was going on outside in the street. Maybe consider investing in sound reducing windows?

The staff was very polite and assisted with all of our requests.

I realized that it wouldn't be quiet on the street with so many bars when choosing this option, but it was much louder than I expected: different music from outside, people talking and laughing loudly until the early morning, and then the garbage truck collecting the glass bottles very early - there was hardly a bit of sleep, unfortunately.

The location is great, very convenient, close to many things. Nice room.

I can tell you what I expected not to like. Since it is in the middle of Temple Bar street I was afraid that it would be really noisy in the evening, but everything was fine. Couldn't hear lots of noise in our room.

Great staff, neat place above a bar in the middle on a good location

Clean and tidy. Great location. Staff very pleasant.

Double glazing could be a good option as it’s very noisy, late night music and street noise not a problem if you are out yourselves, if not, then little chance of sleeping as music and street noise very loud. Early morning traffic noise and barrel deliveries etc will wake you up, easily rectified with new windows. No hooks for your coats and no facilities for clothing to be put away, which isn’t really too much of a problem, slight trip hazard in the room we stayed in as there is a raised area running the full length of the room under the carpet. Would definitely stay again regardless of the above.

Very central, easy to find, able to leave luggage before check in time. Staff all friendly and helpful. Great music in the bar itself. Very clean room. Beds comfortable, shower very good.
