    It's in the heart of the entertainment area. So there was lots of activity for all hours of the night. We lacked plugs on our side of the room. Nothing near our bed for charging phones.

    Other people mentioned noise from bars being open late, which didn’t bother us. What did wake us up though were bar employees cleaning the glass bottles up and garbage trucks at 5AM. But should be fine if you wear earplugs.

    Great location and super comfortable. Highly recommended.

    The skylight created a greenhouse effect heating the room to over 80° and matching humidity with minimal circulation. This made it very uncomfortable in the summer but I can imagine this room is perfect for cooler weather months.

    This is a great room centrally located in the Temple Bar district and one of the only rooms to accommodate four people. The automated windows and skylight covering brought in great natural light. The security is great with two key coded doors restricting access. Everything was clean with plenty of toiletry supplies and towels and a relatively new remodel of the white marble bathroom. The staff and manager in the bar were also very helpful with anything we needed.

    I did not mind the music till 3:30 in the morning but then the seagulls started, once the seagulls stopped the street sweepers were loud, Remember that you have to keep the window open, no air conditioning.

    The music and singing till 3;30 am. Having the windows open and taking in all in was a great experience.

    Room a bit small but we only needed somewhere to sleep after a late night out so it wasn't a big issue for us. A bit overpriced.

    We were staying intown for a wedding and needed an early checkin which we did get at 1:00pm That helped us a great deal so was very much appreciated. It was noisy from the revellers outside until 3:00am but we only came in at that time ourselves so it wasn't a problem and it was very quiet after that as it's on a pedestrianised street.

    It is not the fault of The Norseman, but the alarm on the building next door was shrieking all night, both nights of my stay. The doorman was doing his best to reach the owners to get it turned off, which I appreciate, but ihis efforts were to no avail.

    The location is superb, right in the heart of Temple Bar. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. The room was comfortable and very good value for money.

    The only thing I would recommend is better windows. They don't close well (lots of draft) and the single pane allowed all noise to just flow through the room. Annoying when delivery and cleaning trucks are outside the window at 7 AM.

    the place was amazing, in the middle of everything and clean and comfy beds.

    A fridge would have been nice, and maybe a sofa, or a chair or two. But this is nitpicking. Overall, it was pretty perfect for what we needed.

    The location was perfect. The bar itself, was great craic. The room was small but very clean and tidy, and the beds were very comfortable.

    Couldnt find a fault at all except the pull to the bathroom sky light needs to work

    Location was perfect for sightseeing, shopping and enjoying the bars, restaurants and nighlife. Accomodation was just perfect. Our room was above the pub , with private secure entry to the residential area. Room was confortable, clean, bright, light and perfect for a couple of days getaway. Centrally located for all of our needs and really easy to find. Staff very friendly, sociable and couldnt have been more helpful. Will 100% be returning :)
