When arriving at the DUB airport, take the #747 express bus just outside terminal 1 and get off at the Christchurch stop. The bus stop is right around the corner from the hotel (6 euro one way, 10 euro... More

I'm more of a 5 star resort type of girl, but I stayed at the Harding hotel when some of my travel plans fell through in 2010. My experience in 2010 was so fantastic that I booked on my own accord to stay with them again in 2012. The staff are unbelievably helpful and friendly, and as a single female... More

Check-in was a breeze. The rooms are a bit small and tub would have been nice but they are great value. The following, I mentioned that my room was too hot and I changed rooms.

It it situated on a quiet street off the main pedestrian walkways, but is very close to a lot of restaurants and attractions for tourists, literally across the street from the Christ Church Cathedral!
