Absolutely loved this hotel, it’s set up like independent apartments. We opted for a unit on the sixth floor with a balcony and we were so happy with the space. Everything is super modern and efficient. The hotel lobby is dynamic and very well appointed. They have a cute coffee shop at the entrance. The only downside is it closes very early around 3 o’clock. I could see where there was a bar area, but it was not opened during the time we were there probably because it was off-season. The property is also very well secured, there is a key card entrance at the front gate, another to enter the hotel hallways by the elevator, you must also use your key to access the elevator. I found it to be very safe. We also found it to be much more pleasurable to be on that side of the river away from the chaos and noise, but the footbridge is right at your doorstep and in 10 minutes you can be in the middle of all the action.

Great place to stay in Dublin

I had an excellent stay at Zanzibar Locke. The room was well equipped with everything I needed, including a washer/dryer and all implements for cooking. It was huge...more than big enough for one person. I appreciated that I was given the option for cleaning. The staff were always pleasant and helped me multiple times with arranging taxis and answering basic questions. It was a great base for a week in Dublin. Location was also perfect.
