Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Thomas Moore Inn enjoys a superb location, just a short walk, about 5 minutes, from lively areas like Temple Bar and conveniently close to the number 16 bus for airport access and Croke Park. Guests appreciate the modern and clean rooms, comfortable beds, and well-equipped bathrooms, including air conditioning and tea/coffee making facilities. The on-site pub is a highlight, with a cosy atmosphere, the best Guinness, and traditional Irish music, although some have noted the absence of a full reception area.

Satisfactory stay in a convenient location

convenient location clean room small room missing amenities

The location of this place is very convenient. It is close to many attractions. The room was also very clean upon arrival. This made settling in easier.

The room was quite small. There were also no basic amenities. I did expect a hairdryer and more space. This was a slight inconvenience.

cozy stay in a charming inn

central location very clean room thoughtful touch friendly staff

i found the central location convenient. the room was very clean, a huge plus. i was delighted when i discovered our beer placed in an ice-filled bucket (a really thoughtful touch!). i appreciated the super-friendly staff, they always wore a smile.

the room i had was on the smaller side, ideal for a short stay of only a couple of nights (but for longer stays might be too small).

Mixed Feelings on Central Location

small room missing hairdryer

The room I got, a Beautiful Double Room, felt rather cramped. Basic stuff I expect, like a hairdryer, was missing. Communicating was also a pain since there's no proper reception. It's hardly the service you'd hope for.
