About The Harding Hotel
Nestled on Fishamble Street, one of Temple Bar's oldest lanes, The Harding Hotel is a classic among best hotels in Temple Bar Dublin. Dating back centuries, this spot whispers history from its medieval walls, yet delivers modern comforts for today's wanderers. Steps from Dublin Castle and Christ Church, it's the ideal perch for immersing in Temple Bar's artistic pulse. The welcoming lobby, with its crackling fireplace, sets a homely tone; rooms upstairs offer a peaceful retreat from the street's trad music sessions.
What to Expect
Expect value-packed rooms with crisp linens, en-suite bathrooms, and tea trays for those rainy Irish mornings. Breakfast buffet shines with full Irish options: rashers, black pudding, and poached eggs. The downstairs pub hosts live folk every night, pouring smooth stouts amid cosy chats. Budget to mid-range rates include free Wi-Fi and city maps. Location perks: five-minute walk to Ha'penny Bridge, surrounded by galleries and street performers.
Insider Tips
Opt for higher floors to dodge pub noise, or embrace it with earplugs provided. Visit in December for the Fishamble Street Christmas market right outside. Staff tip: ask for the castle-view room. Couples rave about the romantic turret suites. Pro move: start your day with coffee at nearby Brother Hubbard before the crowds. The Harding blends old-world Dublin with Temple Bar energy, making guests feel like locals exploring hidden alleys and Viking-era tales.
