The Property — New market hall
The New Market Hall hotel is a three-star conversion of a former market building near Dublin's historic fruit-and-vegetale market. Its lobby is a bright, industrial space with high ceilings and exposed brick, giving a practical, no-nonsense feel that suits business travellers or weekenders who want a clean, central base without frills. The USP is location: it sits a short walk from the Luas red line, Temple Bar and O'Connell Street, offering decent value in a pricey city.
Chronicles of Dublin
Dublin began as a Viking settlement around 841 AD, growing into the second city of the British Empire by the 18th century, when its wide Georgian squares and terraces were built. The 1916 Easter Rising and subsequent independence cemented its identity as a republican capital, and the late-20th-century 'Celtic Tiger' boom transformed its economy and skyline with glass towers. Today it fuses medieval lanes, Georgian elegance and modern tech wealth, with a pub and music culture that remains unapologetically local.
Best Time to Visit
Full Dublin guide →Best months
May, June and September: mild temperatures (12-18°C), long daylight hours until 10pm in June, and lower tourist crowds than July and August.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak; August's National Ploughing Championships and St Patrick's Festival (March) push hotel prices up 30-50%. The hotel's three-star rates typically double in mid-summer.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer 20-30% cheaper rates, still decent weather (8-15°C) and far fewer queues at key attractions like the Guinness Storehouse and Trinity College's Book of Kells.
Weather & packing
Dublin's climate is famously changeable: you can get four seasons in a single afternoon, with light drizzle common even in July. Pack a waterproof jacket and a layering system — a light sweater under a windproof shell — and always bring comfortable walking shoes for wet pavements.
Live City Briefing — Dublin
- The Luas Cross City extension ends a short walk from the hotel, but expect minor delays on the red line from late June due to track upgrades near Connolly station — check the TFI website before departure.
- The new 'Dublin City Smart Parking' trial expanded in May 2025, adding 200 parking spaces with pay-by-phone near Smithfield; visitors driving should book in advance as on-street spaces near the market fill quickly.
- Smithfield market itself (a short stroll from the hotel) runs a summer food market on Saturdays from June to August, offering a good budget eating alternative to Temple Bar's prices.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to New market hall, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the rear of the building (away from the market square). These are high enough to avoid street-level bustle but still within easy reach by stairs if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room facing the market square or front of the hotel (likely the Newmarket Hall side). Also avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or the communal areas – noise from arrivals, luggage handling, and the breakfast room carries.
Best views
Rooms at the rear look onto a quieter residential lane or car park. There's no grand skyline here – best view is simply avoiding the market traffic.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest, assuming standard 4-5 storey building. These sit above the lift mechanism and most footfall.
🔊 Noise notes
Newmarket Hall is on a busy market street with early morning deliveries, bin collections, and pedestrian traffic. The hotel's own lift and service entrance can generate clatter until late evening.
Insider tips
Check-in early (before 3pm) to have a better chance of securing a rear-facing room – these are the first to go. If you're on a tight budget, ask about a room with a fan (no aircon at this star level) and earplugs at reception.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Dublin
💡 Enter from the Fusiliers' Arch side and walk clockwise – the quieter eastern end has fewer tourists and more shade.
💡 Skip the guided tour – the free areas cover the best bits. The library's roof terrace has good city views and is often overlooked.
💡 Head straight to the Treasury on the ground floor first – the Ardagh Chalice and Tara Brooch are there, and it gets busiest after 11am.
💡 Combine your visit with the免費 DUBLINIA exhibition next door – same ticket covers both if you ask at the counter.
💡 Book online at least two days ahead – same-day tickets sell out by 10am. Go on the first tour of the day to avoid crowds.
