As with many Dublin hotels, the interior of the Arlington doesn't quite live up to the fabulous facade of one of Dublin's finest Edwardian buildings. Inside, the atmosphere is very much functional, if tidy, and appeals primarily to a business clientele—drawn by the location near the Central Bank and Trinity College. But rooms are a good size, with a simple, slightly monotonous beige and off-white color scheme. The Forum bar keeps up the democratic theme with a reliable selection of bar food. Pros: beautiful Edwardian facade; good price for Temple Bar; near a few good music bars. Cons: rooms purely functional; public spaces slightly worn; mainly business clientele.
