Dylan Dublin
Dublin|0.92km from Aviva Stadium
We booked our 4-night stay at the Dylan Hotel in Dublin as part of a 2 city trip (we started with 4 days in London) through Costco travel (great pricing!), and were absolutely delighted with our visit. After a short hop on British Airways, we landed in Dublin, grabbed our bags, and cleared customs very quickly. Our driver from Devine Chauffeurs (part of the package) was there to meet us and we promptly departed for the hotel, about a 6 mile journey. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted curbside by 2 people from the front desk staff, who ushered us in to complete a seamless check-in process while they transported our luggage to our room. Notes on the room: 1. We stayed in a luxury suite on the first floor (which is actually the 2nd floor). Our room had a nice king-sized bed, and two comfortable chairs at the food of the bed with a nice view of the TV on the wall, and a small table between them. In addition, there was a small desk for working, along with another smaller padded chair to use here. On the wall to the left of the bed was a 2 door wardrobe with ample hangars, places for your shoes and other clothing items (which could also be placed in the drawers of the low boy under the TV), a safe to store your valuables (we left our passports and extra cash in here), and 2 lovely Terry cloth bathrobes with matching slippers for our use. The TV has built in apps for YouTube and Netflix, although as Americans, our Netflix logon will not work in Europe. There are also about 20 local channels available, but of course we did not come to Ireland to watch TV! The bed was just the right combination of firm and plush, included 4 king-sized pillows of varying firmness, and a lovely down comforter which was just the right weight. You also have access to set the climate control in the room. This was helpful as we like to sleep in a cool room in both summer and winter. Finally, the windows were huge and let in ample light, but also had black out curtains and shears for adjusting how much light you wish to let in. 2. There was plenty of lighting, including ceiling lights by the door, lamps on each nightstand, and a floor lamp next to the wet bar/coffee set up. There are multiple wall switches throughout the room. There were also plenty of electrical outlets, and USB charging ports built into the light switches next to the nightstands. (These were USB C ports, BTW, so fast charging of cell phones!). Since Europe runs on 220/240V, we had bought an inexpensive voltage transformer on Amazon which worked perfectly with our laptop computer. 3. The bathroom was larger than the typical European hotel bathroom, so my wife and could be in there together without running into each other, and included a toilet and sink (no bidet), a long narrow bathtub and shower combo, and a rainfall overhead shower. Hot water and water pressure were ample, although I did miss the handheld shower which we had in London. And for the life of me, I cannot figure
Excellent
