Very nice accomodation in this old Victorian Pub in the middle of Temple Bar region. Excellent location for shops, pubs, restaurants, sight seeing. Street bands were great, and live music in most pubs, great atmosphere. Room was modern and comfortable, we were in the best room with jacuzzi in bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff. Loved Dublin, a great city but so expensive! Great Guinness, shame it's 5 Euros a pint! We stayed Mon to Fri, I would imagine it's absolute chaos on a weekend. The only thing what surprised me was that there were a lot of homeless people on the streets begging in the surrounding streets of Temple Bar.

Great staff, located in the heart of party central. Very noisy, but sooo much fun.clean rooms,ensuite.If you are a light sleeper, this is not for you.Note that this is a laid back city. breakfast is usually served around 10:30 on the average.Bars are open until 3:30Most stores close at 7 p.m.The bar is very busy,yet a lot of fun.
cannot say enough about the great staff!!

Me and my boyfriend stayed in this little hotel for 3 nights last October.
Great position: really in the center of Temple Bar! I recommend it especially to young people or to those who want to enjoy Temple Bar nights.
Farrington's Pub is on the groundfloor and it offers a warm atmosphere, fresh Guinness and good music: here you can often find someone who plays guitars and sings until late.
The rooms are soundproofed, so you won't hear the music coming from the pub downstairs, but the street outside is really noisy until late. Our bedroom was really cute and clean: parquet floor, confortable bed, large shower, self-heating, towles and free shower soap and shampoo, free tea and coffee facilities...everything we needed! The price was really worthy and the staff always helpful and nice with us, even if we arrived late at night when the pub was crowded.
I'd recommend this little hotel to those who want to live Dublin nights!

We stayed at Farringtons for three nights last week for a city break in Dublin. The main purpose of our visit was to sample the Temple Bar atmosphere, and Farringtons was the perfect place from which to do this. On arrival you go into the bar and pay for your stay there and then, Farringtons is a pub with rooms, not a hotel. There is a separate entrance for the rooms, a door controlled by key fob at the side. All rooms are on the second floor, there is no lift.
The room itself was clean, nicely decorated in a modern style and had the most amazing shower. The bedroom part is small, very small (you could only just walk around the bed). This did not bother us too much, we were only staying for a weekend and did not spend too much time in our room. The bed itself was comfortable. The room did have the tendency to get a little warm, we could not get the window open.
At night the pub downstairs gets very busy, and you can hear the music from downstairs in your room. The first two nights we were not bothered (we had been out sampling the nightlife until 2am) but on the third night the noise coming from the street and pub was LOUD. It went on until about 3.30am! That said, we expected noise because it was a Saturday, and if we had not got to be up so early to fly home on the Sunday morning we would have been out late ourselves.
In short, if you want to stay slap bang in the middle of Temple Bar, and have a good location for sightseeing on the South of the Liffey, Farringtons could be for you. If you want a good night's sleep, perhaps you would be better off elsewhere. We would return to the pub to stay, but would take some ear plugs! Book early, otherwise the prices are expensive, but then I have quickly realised that everywhere in Dublin is expensive! We booked only 3 weeks in advance, and got charged accordingly.
