About this place Zanzibar Locke, Ha'penny Bridge

Zanzibar Locke is a mainstream aparthotel run by the Locke brand on Ormond Quay Lower, beside the Ha'penny Bridge on the north side of the Liffey. It's listed as gay-friendly, not as a gay hotel. Rooms are studio-style with kitchenettes, which suits longer stays or travellers who want to cook. Its 873 Google reviews average 4.6. Cross the bridge and you're in Temple Bar. The George, Dublin's best-known gay bar, is about a 10-minute walk away on South Great George's Street. The quays are busy and loud on weekend nights, so ask for a room away from the street if you sleep lightly.

Quite expensive, but excellent location.

We went to the restaurant yesterday and, unfortunately, the food experience was really bad. The only positive note was the service, as the staff who waited on us were great and very polite. However, the kitchen failed completely. The food took so long to arrive that we almost gave up and left. When the risotto finally came, it was awful: the texture was gummy, sticking to the mouth like chewing gum. The service staff is very good, but because of the food and the long wait, I unfortunately cannot recommend it

Brilliant hotel, rooms, facilities, location. Can't fault the hotel at all. Stayed in a studio room, very spacious, super modern with a very cosy bed and nice bathroom. Check in was easy and staff very nice. Location couldn't be any more central. Would highly recommend.

I visited the restaurant on Saturday and wanted to share some positive feedback. From the moment we arrived, everyone was extremely polite, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxed, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. As for the food, the Irish stew was absolutely delicious, and I simply loved it. The deep-fried potatoes were also fantastic. Thank you to the team for such a lovely experience. We really enjoyed our visit.
