I recently stayed at Fitzsimons Hotel in Temple Bar, which has a fantastic central location perfect for exploring Dublin's nightlife and attractions. However, I faced several inconveniences during my stay, including cold room temperatures and noise from the bar and street below. While I appreciated the atmosphere and lively vibe, the lack of soundproofing made it hard to get a good night's rest.
