Really good hotel. There was building work directly out our window - but didn’t hear much at all. Clean and tidy. Staff also let us check in at 1pm free of charge, and check out late free of charge also. Great hotel!

Zanzibar Locke was a beautiful apartment/hotel. I booked 2 studios for 2 weeks and loved it! It’s located in the middle of the city just steps away from the Ha’Penny Bridge and the Temple Bar but you don’t hear any of the hustle & bustle inside the room except for on fridays and saturdays you’ll hear a little from the night club but not too bad. Everything in the hotel was updated and modern and I was very comfortable while staying here. They have a great cafe in the lobby and tons of cafes and restaurants near by. Also the customer service was 5 stars! Every person that I interacted with were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to assist. There were two associates there when we checked in, Petra (and forgive me I did not get the gentleman’s name but he had red hair) were great! Kudos to them both for being welcoming and even assisting with a fan for the room because I forgot mine. Overall 5 stars, everything was great! FYI the rooms get a little warm at night but you are able to open the windows and get fresh air in the room.

This hotel is very centrally situated, just next to the Ha’penny Bridge. Everything is super walkable from there. Nice coffee shop off the lobby. Comfortable lobby area and outdoor patio. The staff were very friendly throughout our 11 day stay. They even left a thoughtful gift on our door Christmas morning, which was a lovely surprise! The apartment was well equipped and had everything we needed to cook/eat in and to clean our clothes. We would most definitely stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful visit to Dublin!

Can’t recommend this hotel enough!! Amazing central location and from the minute we walked in we were made to feel so welcome by all the staff. The room was spacious and the decor throughout was stunning. We were very grateful for the early check in for both rooms after stressful travel days and would definitely stay here again next time we are in Dublin!

This was our third stay at Zanzibar Locke, and we love it. Exceptionally reasonable price, very friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable little apartments. We’ve been delighted every time- central location with an easy walk to everything. The neighborhood is a bit dense with tourists, and youngsters hanging out everywhere, but that’s ok. With the nicely appointed kitchen you just make a quick walk to a nearby Tesco or M & S for groceries, so you needn’t eat out all the time. Free laundry facility on site, which is amazing; you can pack a weeks worth of laundry for a two week trip. It’s a great blend of “living” in the neighborhood, even as a short term visitor. We hate leaving.
