Reviews are mixed regarding noise levels, with some guests enjoying peaceful stays and others disrupted by noise. The hotel's cleanliness and inviting atmosphere receive high marks, though there are occasional inconsistencies in housekeeping. Amenities, including a praised breakfast and well-stocked rooms, satisfy guests, but some desire additional in-room features.

I stayed in an Elegance Double Room the day after hotels reopened after the Covid-19 lockdown. I had fallen in love with the idea of that huge soaking tub and I wasn’t disappointed. Staff were absolutely fantastic, every measure was made to ensure I felt safe. I ate down in the bar as I wanted something that wasn’t on the room service menu (their delicious carbonara), and the wait staff wore masks when delivering my food and wine to the table. Hand sanitizer was plentiful as were signs about social distancing but they didn’t take from the experience - it’s just part of life here at the moment. I was impressed by the anti-microbial material used on the stair rails, door handles and remotes in the bedroom too as a safety measure. I ordered room service later in the evening (a delicious cocktail and dessert!) and was pleased at how reasonable it was and prompt! Literally the only thing that was missing from my room was either a tv or something to hold up my phone so that I could relax watching a show in the bath! Room wasn’t the biggest but it was plenty for just me, and the bathroom was massive. Shower nice and powerful! If you’re looking for a relaxing escape look no further!
(I stayed in room 158, which looked out onto the terrace so was perfectly quiet overnight).

Stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. We stayed in one of the elegance rooms , it was smaller than other hotel rooms but we didn’t mind that. Big shoutout to the cleaning staff , rooms and public areas of the hotel were spotless at all times. Staff were all so friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast was fabulous each morning and always served with a smile by the waitresses. Such a great location, we dined out every evening as we wanted to visit a few restaurants and everywhere was within walking distance. 10/10 hotel

We stayed in the Fleet Hotel for my sisters birthday and I could not speak more highly of this place. Upon arrival we felt at home straight away with the friendly staff and homely surroundings. Our room was just perfect, the right size and imactually clean. My sister was delighted with herself because it was her birthday and hotel staff couldn't have been more friendly and created a fun atmosphere even with COVID restrictions in place. The breakfast room is very impressive and there was loads of options between table service and the buffet offering. The buffet breakfast worked out very well in that everything was individually wrapped to ensure adherence to COVID guidelines. We will definitely be back to visit the Fleet Hotel,

Wifi was really bad (had 3 rooms, some rooms got patchy reception, and it was very slow - can't stream anything). Housekeeping missed our room completely on day 1, and we had the sign out for 6 hours on Day 2 and it wasn't done by 3pm.
Can be noisy too as many rooms are onto a side street with a late night club.
Otherwise, the hotel is in a great location at quieter end of Temple Bar. Rooms are much smaller (even Deluxe Rooms) than they appear online but were comfortable - think Paris size rooms (very small for UK/Ireland).
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful - and any issues (except Wifi and Housekeeping) were resolved, and they were always keen to help.
However, housekeeping was so poor (well we didn't get any) and wifi so bad that as well located as it is, and as comfy as rooms are I wouldn't stay here again.

Every time I fly into Ireland I will always stay at The Fleet in Dublin as it ticks all the boxes. A Tastefully restored modern luxury hotel that pays homage to its 19th century history with the fine attention to details such as the original fireplace, coving and wooden window shutters in room 156 instead of standard curtains you would expect in a modern hotel. My en-suite bedroom was perfectly cleaned, well proportioned with a large comfortable bed, double shower and all the modern conveniences you would expect in a Five Star hotel including a large flat screen TV that’s at least 50”. I love the quirky old style telephone and the additional extra power points for charging my laptop, tablet and phone etc. Located a short walk from O’Connell Bridge on the doorsteps of Templebar it’s the ideal place for the corporate traveler and tourist alike. Nearby is the Fleet Street car park that allows you easy access to all the main traffic routes in and around Dublin. Opposite the hotel is a Tesco’s for all your forgotten items on the main thoroughfare of Templebar, which is one of the main destination spots in Dublin. If you feel like exploring the culture and main attractions in Dublin The Fleet is the best place to base yourself as around the corner is the National Wax museum, Trinity College, Stephen’s Green, The GPO, Christchurch Cathedral all within easy walking distance plus The Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery are also easily accessible from here. All the main shopping and nightlife attractions are all on the Fleet’s doorsteps too. Within the hotel you will find the 1920’s Bar serving creamy Guinness, tempting cocktails, delicious and tasty fare. Next door opposite the reception desk you can enjoy a nightcap or coffee in an understated sophisticated lounge which is my favorite place to relax. The breakfast room is downstairs near the business center and I’m delighted to see that despite all the restrictions enforced by the pandemic that a full Irish breakfast is still available with all the safety protocols in place. All the tables had sanitizer dispensers and the staff were consistently cleaning all the equipment and fixtures. The cereals were individually portioned and wrapped. The flow of guests was well controlled, organized and overall I felt comfortable and safe here and able to enjoy my breakfast at ease. Aside from all this luxury, I cannot mention the staff and managers enough for all their hospitality, professionalism and friendly service. And I look forward to returning again very soon

Stayed at The Fleet for 3 nights, perfect location right on Temple Bar. The hotel has a stunning lobby and bar with a homely feel to it with Lots of character. Reception Staff were super friendly and check in was seamless. The breakfast was superb, as expected no longer a self serve buffet but the table service was fast and the breakfast was delishish and hot. the two ladies serving are a credit to your team, everything we needed was brought to us without hesitation and with a smile (even behind their face mask) constant cleaning and sanitising was good to see. The hotel is immaculate with sanitised hot spots on all main touch points throughout the hotel. Room was spacious with the comfiest bed! Absolutely home from home. Would definitely return.

Very central location near temple bar but away from the noise. It still has some original features which gives it nice character. which give the go bed it iWe have stayed twice in the last few months and rooms are spotless and comfortable and contain everything you’ll require. Breakfast is really good with a wide selection. We were greeted on both occasions by Federico who is very helpful and pleasant and also other staff we encountered were all pleasant. There is a car park nearby and hotel residents get reduced rates. So overall this hotel is a good choice.

* Stayed with friends during weekend for a whiskey-trip.
* Location is excellent. We walked to Jameson distillery, Teeling distillery, Liberties distillery and guinness museum. took about 20-30 min to a destination.
* Hotel lobby is amazing
* Rooms are small and carpet floors. * Try to get a room in the end of a hallway, otherwise you will hear people passing by. * Shower is great. Real hot water and great water pressure. But it is a small shower cabin.
* Breakfast is not so impressive but it works
* Service is great
* I guess this is higher than average irish hotel standard so I wouldn't give bad rates. I am used to international business hotels with better bathrooms and bigger rooms in the same price range though

Great location, super nice people. As we entered our room there was a pair of dirty socks on the floor and our bed was made, but ruffled as it appeared someone had been sitting on top. I called reception and a super polite lady, “Isabella” arrived, apologized and gave us some free drink tickets and a fan. There is no AC. The hotel is Old, musty. Our room was on the 1st floor just above a merging alleyway. Very little sleep, the alley was the location for drug use, pissing, yelling, cussing at all hours of the night. Additionally, starting around 0330 trash trucks would run, then beer trucks loading empty kegs, then recycling trucks, then street sweepers… of course We could have changed rooms for an interior room so that’s on me. So I would suggest a room far away from the street or alley. Dublin never sleeps so as a tourist, we didn’t either. We ordered a charcuterie board that was not good. It may not be a popular item so the meats appeared dated, had a few bites and stopped eating out of fear of spoiled food. The price of $259 per night for FLEET is NOT Worth it, go somewhere else. If you are a bougie American traveler like me and like your quiet nights and cold AC then go to a chain hotel, there are plenty.

Dear ReallyNiceClark Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at the Fleet hotel. I'm disappointed to read that your recent visit was not to your satisfaction, I will be sure to address the room issues with our housekeeping team, unfortunately the external issues are beyond our control. We do have a number of rooms with A/C but these are a different category to what you had book, room rates across Dublin are extremely high due to a number of concerts in the city. We do hope this wont turn you off staying with us in the future as we would be delighted to welcome you back to the Fleet Hotel.

The Fleet Hotel is not gigantic like a Marriott; these old buildings tend to be compact, making everything within walkable.
I don't know about triple rooms, but our double room was steps away from the elevator, as well as facing the main street. We had no noise issues on either front.
We really loved this hotel. Book it!
Hi Chloe
That’s all depends on how much fun your planning on having.
Dublin has it all, sightseeing, shopping, restaurants, bars, nightclubs .
You don’t need a lot of money for a good time but it helps.
If you go a few blocks further down on Fleet Street (towards the action of Temple Bar), there is a pharmacy . . It's called the Fleet Street Pharmacy. Make an appointment there -- I did it online -- and you go there the day before you leave for a test. There are a number of pharmacies that do these tests. The Fleet Hotel desk also has a website that you can go to where you can make an appointment for a test at a nearby pharmacy. I was worried too, but found it easy to find a test site,
There are more places to choose from in the Dublin area.
