    There was only 1 person on reception at busy times, so a bit of a wait. Not a huge issue.

    Great location, quiet, apartment was roomy and large bathroom with a good shower and a heated towel rail.

    My room was overlooking a construction site and the workers came early and banged hammers and machines. But I just closed the window and drowned it out with a white noise app on my phone.

    This little apartment was so clean and comfortable. It is in the best location in Dublin. The staff was so friendly and helpful, the room was equipped with everything i needed, and the hotel is very chic and tastefully decorated.

    pity the bar wasn't open

    Location in the middle of old Dublin. Very discreet and modern. Perfectly constructed little appartment with all fittings contemporary and stylish. No breakfast because we had to leave too early. Also no bar or restaurant facilities.

    Very thin walls (neighbours were quite loud at times). We had a room towards the back, overlooking a huge construction side, along with the noise that came with it.

    Very central location, just next to Ha'penny Bridge and opposite Temple Bar, with easy access to bus stops.

    They close the outside door at 5pm, which is not a problem, however we didn’t have a room key to gain access and it was impossible to hear anything from the intercom due to traffic outside. Also the outside door was very heavy and would have been very difficult for someone with mobility issues to open alone. I was with my son who is a wheelchair user, he could not have got in on his own.

    The property was really well located, close to bars, restaurants and public transport. It was small and stylist, quiet and clean. The room was really spacious with great facilities.

    Overall, Zanzibar Locke was a good choice.

    Our room did not have a good outlook and was a bit dark (although my children's room was better). While the room was very clean overall, the ceiling had brown stains, like there was damp/water issues. The beds/mattress was not the most comfortable (tended to slope to middle with weight of sleeper).

    It was a great location, close to many city attractions so very easy to walk to many places. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. Kitchen facilities were good & the coffee shop downstairs was convenient.

    I would say that I like to have more light in my room, and the window had glass did not allow you to see outside. It was also a very small window. It would have been nice to have a higher table to eat at instead of a coffee table, but that is really not a huge deal.

    The staff were always there and extremely accommodating. I like the little outside patio, to get some air and relax. The rooms are very small, but are arranged efficiently with everything you need in the kitchen. Location was excellent and quiet at night. Would recommend very much.

    Add QR code stickers to washer and microwave. Instructions are on the TV, but would be easier to view a quick video. We asked at reception and they showed us a quick video on one of their phone.

    Fabulous location just feet from the Ha’Penney Bridge, Temple Bar area, restaurants. Quiet at night. Very spacious room with washer/dryer combo, microwave, kitchenette. We were in room G8. Great coffee spot in the lobby! Lobby has quirky, industrial meets safari vibe.

    We only stayed one night in Zanzibar Locke but I wish it was more! The room was great, the kitchen well equipped, nice size shower and loved the decor throughout! Also the staff at the reception are the real asset at this hotel, all lovely, polite and so friendly :-)
