Fodor's Expert Review The Hendrick

6--11 Hendrick St., Dublin, Co. Dublin, Dublin 7, Ireland

Smithfield's newest hotel might look a little mundane with its redbrick, officelike exterior, but inside it's a lot more fun. Street art is what sets the cool Hendrick apart from the crowd, with 259 original pieces crammed into every nook and public space. Rooms can be small and very white, but their clever designs (with an extra bunk bed in some doubles) and striking splashes of colorful art help compensate. The cocktail bar is already a favorite hangout for locals.

PROS

  • original art throughout
  • clever room design
  • warm and friendly staff

CONS

  • no closet, just a few hangers on the wall
  • lack of amenities
  • not cheap for size
