The property itself is beautiful. The staff was outstanding. But we were there for 3 nights and never once had a hot shower. First night, plumber was allegedly fixing the problem. But we never had hot water in our room the entire time. Disappointing.

Good location.

Very nice hotel. The staff was very nice and friendly. The room was nice but small. Our only complaint is that our room as adjacent to an ally type street and was very loud all night. The location is very good for getting around Dublin.

I stayed at The Arlington in Dublin and really enjoyed the experience. The location is excellent—right by the River Liffey and within walking distance of Temple Bar and many key attractions. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with everything you need for a city stay. What really stood out was the atmosphere in the hotel bar and restaurant; the live Irish music and dancing in the evenings made it feel very authentic and lively. Staff were welcoming and helpful, adding to the overall charm. A great choice if you want both comfort and a fun taste of Dublin’s culture

The Arlington was the perfect for us to be near the hustle and bustle of the temple area but not overly exposed. The dinner/bar area was excellent & service top notch

Nice location, dated amenities and interior

Hotel was a bit dated compared to what photos showed online. Lights in our room did not work, but all outlets worked. No AC. Carpeting was old and mismatched. Great location and convenient for walking around Dublin, but probably wouldn’t book this hotel again.

Missing basics

While we were there, we were unable to take a shower. Our shower reduced to a trickle when we used hot water. We did tell the hotel on our first morning but it wasn't fixed. Additionally, on our first morning, our toilet wouldn't flush. We had to go out for the day to use the toilet but it was fixed by the time we returned 7 hours later. The chromecast TV wasn't hooked up. When we called to tell them that it wasn't working, they told us they were aware and that a technician had been scheduled. When we checked out and again reported being unable to shower, showing them a video of the shower, they asked us if we had additional time. We did have 10 minutes and were offered another room to take a shower but unfortunately, 10 minutes wasn't enough for us to unpack and shower. Without a shower or working toilet, or streaming TV, we did note in writing to them that we felt we should get some reimbursement. We have not had a response from them.
