If you are looking to stay in the heart of the Temple Bar area, this is your place! Short walking distance to all of the action; we actually walked all over the city from here. The downside is that since you are in the heart of the pub scene, you will hear it all night long. Four of us stayed here - two were unbothered by it and the other two had trouble getting to sleep. Host was communicative, place was clean and included some nice touches, including earplugs :)
