This will probably be the last Dublin hotel review that I do because I am a Dublin resident again! Let’s give thanks and praise! Hallelujah. I return with a brand new appreciation for the county of Wicklow and, thanks to the three storms and blackouts I experienced, as a partial Doomsday Prepper. But that’s probably not a bad thing.

Before I was back in Dublin’s bosom, I had two late night Sabrina Carpenter after parties to DJ at the start of the month. One of these mornings, I also had to let movers into my apartment at 9am, so driving back to Wicklow wasn’t an option, for fear I’d drive straight into a ditch off the N11 out of sheer exhaustion.

I had big hopes to stay in the Wren Hotel again but with the Sabrina gigs the prices were extortionate, so I booked myself into the newish Premier Inn on George’s Street for half the price. The official name location of this PI is Temple Bar, but I won’t degrade myself by submitting to their geographical mistake.

The great thing about a Premier Inn hotel is that you know exactly what to expect. The rooms rarely vary in decor, the breakfast is always just about acceptable and the prices will always be fine. Not amazing - fine. But one thing that all hotels, hostels, B&Bs, guest houses can learn from Premier Inn is the level of detail they provide when booking an accessible room.
