The Camden is centrally located, reasonably priced, and recently refurbished with a colorful movie theme. The one downside is the noise that comes from being adjacent to a music venue. The description was upfront in warning about this, so I knew what I was getting into. To the venue's credit, it appears to adhere strictly to a curfew. All of a sudden, the music and singing just stops. It's also mostly guitar vocals, so not head-banging, wall-thumping heavy metal. As a night owl, the way I chose to look at it was I got a free concert every night. If you are an early-to-bed, early-to-rise person, this hotel definitely isn't for you. If on the other hand, you plan to cruise the pubs and clubs of Dublin, this is an ideally situated place for you.
