Wren Urban Nest staff were very helpful, breakfast buffet was very nice and hotel is close to variety of other dining options and attractions. Rooms are tiny and reminded me of a bedroom display in IKEA. Our “cozy” room was as wide as the bed was long so we had to climb over one another to get in and out of bed. Limited floor space for luggage despite traveling with carry-on luggage only.

The property itself was excellent. Unfortunately, the personnel checking us in was rude and smug. He even said, “Since I’m a very nice person, I won’t charge you the early check in fee. If I wasn’t, you would be charged.” Who says that?We were checking in within 30 min of check in. I’ve worked in the service industry, and that’s improper. Also, I booked two of the exact rooms. One for my husband and I and the other to a couple we were traveling with. We were given a SMALLER room than them and paid slightly more and twice charged (separate from incidentals)! I’m hoping the second charge falls off once the incidental charge falls off too. Fortunately, our friends were checked in by a more welcoming gentlemen. The property itself is centrally located, clean, and excellently maintained. It is sad that the check in process and the different rooms dropped my rating. We will not be going back.

Amazing stay! Small room, but perfect for a good sleep after a busy day. Great location, within walking distance to shopping, pubs and points of interest. Convenient luggage storage and lobby washrooms available after check out, made it easy for us to keep exploring after we no longer had our room. Our only complaint was that the shower leaked all over the floor, soaking several towels.

Excellent boutique hotel, very contemporary. A quiet stay in the centre of Dublin. Close to shopping & restaurants. Lovely simple dining and cafe/bar available in Hotel. Car park building opposite hotel. Hotel situated between two short alleyways, very quiet at night. Public transport handy. I walked from Houston Train Station, about a 20 minute walk along the Liffey River, and buses to the Airport are a 5 minute walk to Westmoreland Street. Can book a seat online. My bedroom was comfortable & compact, included a fridge & kettle. A perfect stay in Dublin!

The Wren Urban Nest is a beautiful little hotel in the heart of Temple Bar in Dublin. The rooms are advertised as small, however, the size is more than adequate for two average size people with average size expectations. The staff were fabulous. The facility and rooms are modern in their design. The location is outstanding. Right in the heart of Temple bar. In spite of location, hotel is very quiet and one never hears the noise of the thousands of people having fun in Temple Bar. Be sure to include the breakfast in your room rate. Well worth it!

For some guests, the rooms and beds may be on the smaller side, and thst is the only drawback to this property. If you dont mind it, don't bother looking anywhere else. Well appointed rooms, convenient location, friendly and helpful staff, and an air con that works as it should.
