Great location! Easy to hop over the Hapenny bridge and be in the heart of Temple Bar. One word of advice...this is a little more apartment than hotel. No front desk staff (communication is via What's App) and towels/linens room cleaning etc is only done every 4 days (although they will bring fresh towels if you message them). Not bad, we were just surprised

Don’t know whose fault it was, mine, hotels.com or Zanzibar but the picture was misleading. I thought the room I booked had a hot plate, but it didn’t; it had a nice oven/microwave, a kettle and a toaster. Would have liked more dishes. Great location. Great secure wifi. Great shower. Very close to Marks & Spencer’s food hall & other attractions. Great staff, thanks to Sylvia & Kirstie for all your assistance. Nice coffee shop.

This is a nice hotel in a great location to walk around in Dublin. The rooms are large and modern. The shared areas are cool and comfy. I found the rooms too dark to be comfortable doing any work and I did not appreciated the lack of room services and amenities. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

Zanizabar locke was in the center of dublin easy to walk to most areas. The room was clean and well srocked with items for cooking. We didnt hear much of the street noise when we were inside.
