Powered by AI
The Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge enjoys a fabulous location, placing guests within walking distance of Temple Bar and many other Dublin attractions. The hotel's older architecture creates a distinctly Irish ambiance, although some guests have noted traffic noise, especially from lower-floor rooms with older windows. Guests can enjoy live music in the bar and restaurant, and family rooms offer plenty of space and views overlooking the river Liffey. The breakfast gets positive mentions too.
