Fodor's Review:

Every modern city needs its little oasis, and the Central's book-and-armchair-filled Library Bar—warmed by a Victorian fireplace—nicely fits the bill. Established in 1887, this grand, old-style redbrick spot is in the heart of the city center, steps from Grafton Street, Temple Bar, and Dublin Castle. Rooms are snug and pretty simple, with flocked bedspreads, racing paintings, and 19th-century bric-a-brac. The stately hotel dining room delights with its pastel-green walls, bookcases, and gilt-frame pictures. Pros: delightful Library Bar; original 1887 facade; old-fashioned feel. Cons: rooms a bit snug; street noise in some rooms; service can be a bit haphazard.
