Very central location, ideal for staggering back after a dozen pints. Miniscule toilet and washroom. It was too small for me and I'm 80kg.

Violet was exceptional to deal with! Absolutely loved the room, it was quiet and very secure. You're right in the Temple Bar hot spot yet far enough down the street to not be overwhelmed with all the tourists. I would definitely stay there again!!

Peace and quiet right in Temple Bar

Violet Lodge was a fantastic place for us, a newlywed couple, to spend a couple nights in the heart of Dublin. Not the most spacious of places, it was still more than enough for 2 people to spread out. And it exits right into the Temple Bar area, where plenty of options for food, drink, nightlife, and tourism. Finally, it does a fantastic job of not leaking any noise from said nightlife into the units. The other point I would mention is that this is not exactly a capital H hotel and is closer to something you may expect from accommodations from a bed and breakfast (minus Breakfast) It was fantastic and Violet herself was very courteous

Vergogna!!

L'hotel non mi ha accettato per 30 minuti di ritardo. Attenzione al cliente pari a zero. Ho dovuto restare per strada visto che Dublino era piena.
