Franks place is cozy and he has given a lot of thought to make you comfortable. I read the reviews about the location to the “sex shop” and the noises but that is all of Dublin neat temple bar. We stayed at another location in temple bar and it was much noisier all night. If you want a location where you can walk and access the hop on hop off bus then this is perfect. We loved our stay at franks and we returned for the night before our flight because it felt so much like home. We love Skatterys pub which is very close by.
