Highlights

Location: positioned between Trinity College and Grafton Street

Rooms: Snug, Cosy, and Twin Nests available

Sustainability: Ireland's first net carbon place to stay

Dining: ALT Bar & Restaurant with local ingredients

“This nest in Dublin's lively Temple Bar stands out with its commitment to sustainability, being Ireland's first net carbon hotel. I appreciate the thoughtful integration of smart room tech and the rooftop garden, reflecting a modern, eco-conscious ethos, but I think it's more than just environmentalism; it's about offering a cozy urban retreat with uniquely designed spaces. The ALT bar, sourcing local ingredients, adds to the hotel's charm, but I believe the location near Trinity College and Grafton Street makes it perfect for exploring the city.”

The location proved advantageous. It allowed convenient access to several attractions. The refill stations offered convenient hydration access. The bar was also a welcome amenity. I found it a good place for an evening drink.
The room felt somewhat compact. There was difficulty opening one suitcase. The stool provided limited seating options. I found movement around the room quite restricted.
