Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Wellington Hotel enjoys a superb location, being super central to Temple Bar with its pubs and restaurants. Guests appreciate the modern rooms, and some have enjoyed great views, especially from the higher floors, with balconies overlooking Temple Bar. Rooms often feature a large TV, and the hotel's proximity to the Citylink stop is a definite plus.

the room boasted a modern design, i was delighted. a balcony overlooked temple bar, a charming feature. i found plenty of space to store my belongings. the bathroom was particularly spacious too.

My room lacked natural ventilation, a downside. the air conditioning unit was quite noisy. this made it difficult to keep it running continuously. i also noticed the absence of lamps. Turning on the main light was necessary even in the morning.
