Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Zanzibar Locke offers comfortable, apartment-style rooms with mini-kitchens and laundry facilities, making it feel like a home away from home; the provided tea, coffee, and cooking equipment are often appreciated. Its location next to the Ha'Penny Bridge provides easy access to Dublin's city center, though some guests have noted that being so central can lead to street noise. Many also enjoyed the cafe in the lobby, particularly the coffee.

Fantastic city stay!

spacious suitefunctional kitchenfriendly staff
The River Suite was spacious. It had a fully functional kitchen. This included a washing machine. The location was fantastic on the river. I also had access to many sites. The staff members I encountered were friendly, helpful and thoughtful.
The air-conditioning, while functional, wasn't cold enough. It was uncomfortable for sleeping in the humid weather.

The gym offers several cardio machines. I saw treadmills and stationary bikes. There is also a selection of weight equipment. Laundry and sitting areas are conveniently available. The hotel ensures all needs are met.

The hotel is right in the heart. It is near the Ha'penny Bridge. Temple Bar is just across the way. The location provides a true experience. Trinity College is only a 10-minute walk away.

The room was a Locke Studio. The location was convenient for exploring the city. I found the staff friendly and available.
The television aerial did not work . It was inconvenient that no one could fix it over the weekend. I also found the air conditioning inadequate. It did not cool the room sufficiently given the humid weather.

The room had good kitchen facilities. I found the bed comfortable and there was a separate sitting area layout. The cafe on the ground floor had a range of coffee and pastries. The food was AMAZING!!!
The TV aerial was not working. The desk person tried to resolve it, but could not get anyone to fix it during the weekend. The air-conditioning was not cold enough for the humid weather. This made sleeping uncomfortable.
