"Unforgivably at these rates, service can falter, veering madly from friendly-polite all the way down to rude."

Although St. Stephen's Green is definitely less noisy than Temple Bar, you may want to ask for a room on one of the upper floors.
Concierge
"As chic as it is elite... the Fitzwilliam's bedrooms have been refurbished but remain the epitome of good taste."

Ask for a corner room on the 5th floor (502 or 508), with balmy balcony and a view.
