Featured Hotels near Naomh Sioda Madra na hEireann, Dublin

The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Trinity College. The lobby is new, but the rooms are a bit old and small, a typical British hotel style.

We stayed at the Beckett Locke in July 2023. After having a bad experience with another hotel we decided to book and check in at 10:30pm and as soon as we arrived we felt like we were home. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment which had so much space! The bed was comfortable and the block out curtains were great and we both slept so well. Having a washer dryer machine in the room was an extra bonus. Would highly recommend staying at any of the Locke accomodation (we’ve also stayed at a Locke in a London which was equally good!)

Amazing service at first arrival the doors were opened and I was greeted with very friendly staff who treated me with the utmost respect. The food was delicious as far as fine dining goes. The steak order was mixed up however we were given a new steak and complimentary drinks which was a nice gesture for a small mistake. We had massages and they were the best massages I have ever had in my life. We were given a tour of all the facilities and I really enjoyed my experience overall.

We had booked a private room with a double bed. The staff is very friendly, really not noisy for a hostel (at least our floor on the 10th). New with USB sockets integrated into the sockets, towels and shower gel/shampoo provided in our room with light detector in the bathroom. The bedding is honest but that of a hostel.... but clean! Elevator and breakfast room. For the price compared to others it's a very good place for a few nights in the heart of the city.

Because of the business in Ireland, I traveled to Shanghai and Dublin many times. This time I stayed with my husband for a week and made a visit to Dublin. Through the recommendation of local friends and his own strategy, this time I chose the Mount Herbert Hotel. This hotel was chosen because the hotel has a certain history but is newly renovated. The hotel is located in the upscale area of the city, safe and quiet. It can take a few minutes walk to the seaside along the famous Sandymon Promenade, or walk for a few minutes. The DART station takes you directly to the city centre by DART. (DART is Dublin's subway name and can reach many places.) The hotel is very good value for money. The room we stayed in was very spacious and comfortable. It was very relaxing. The breakfast is very rich, the parking is very convenient, the hotel staff is very warm, with a smile, ask where to eat, play very enthusiastic guidance. Ireland in April is only dark until 9:00, let us have the opportunity to walk around after dinner. The front of the hotel is very wide, with a statue of a rugby player. The famous Aviva Stadium, originally known as the Irish national football ”rugby”, is next to it. I heard that this hotel is also one of the hotels where the players stayed, and there is no shortage of celebrities. . Behind the hotel is a beautiful garden, Ireland's April is full of light green, and the summer garden must be very beautiful. I’m talking to my husband and I hope that I will choose this hotel again in the summer.

The hotel is very well placed for a lovely walk into town along the canal and the park to Grafton Street etc. For a rugby weekend the hotel is great position to walk to the stadium and Irish musical send off & return to celebrate or commiserate ! A**osphere is good staff very welcoming and keen to make your stay enjoyable. ‘House Party’ nights a great success with pre show meal if wished and an unforgettable Irish dancing extravaganza. Comfortable beds in nicely furnished rooms. Enjoyable stays over many years. Mick, Helen, Anne, Jimmy, Ollie, & Brendan and all the rest of the friendly staff thank you Margaret & Huw

I had to find a Hotel quickly in Dublin as my regular place was sold out. This was an incredible surprise. The rooms are advertised as smaller but honestly even though they are not large they are so well laid out it seemed much larger than it was. It had most everything I am used to such as a refrigerator, Hot water electric pot, a place to set my luggage on and hang up my clothes. It even had a decent sized shower and bathroom area. It has a good sized room safe, a fold down area for a laptop and quite a large flat screen Television with a good number of channels. The place seemed like new and was immaculate. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good and well worth the price. Tucked away a few steps off the main drag so it was quiet as well.

Nice Hotel-stayed here before -even has a swimming pool which is unusual in Dublin. Great location making easy to get around -did not eat there as had early flight but room beautiful with all amenities in place -had courtyard facing room -was very quiet -overall great stay-will return.

Trinity City Hotel is excellently located in the heart of Dublin, so for that I give it 5 stars. It has a fancy, almost glitzy lobby, and the staff are nice. But there was a problem that was difficult to overcome. The duvet (the bed cover) was oversized and bulky and made it too hot to sleep. And the pillows were fat as pigs. I tried (had to call front desk four different times within a six hour period) to get a lightweight cover of some sort and a flatter pillow, without any success. I tried to cool down the room by opening the window but it was ”fixed” so that I could only open it about three inches (to prevent people jumping out, I suppose). In the end I just stripped off the duvet cover (essentially the thickness of two bedsheets) and used that to cover me. For such a nice hotel, you'd think they'd be able to accommodate people who don't want to roast in the duvet or sleep at a 45 degree angle with the fat pillows. I hope someone in the hotel management sees this and they buy some lightweight blankets and some normal sized pillows.

Point A Hotel, what can I say. Well presented inside and out, the access to bedrooms locked behind a key card, the bar and breakfast area also immaculate. As you enter your bedroom it is well organised and has everything you need. The bed was a firm mattress but that was perfect, a surprised samsung 43” TV was waiting to be watched from the wall. With LED strip lights and mode lights all around the room and a decent air con to go with. The room had a safe but i never needed to use it. The one LED strip light on the curtain track was losing its stick and i had to reattach it everytime the curtains where opened. Speaking of which the arrangement I felt was weird as it typically goes curtain than net curtain from inside looking out, this hotel went net curtain then curtain. Maybe you do get some rooms with a view, i most certainly did not, considering how close it is to the heart of the city and Temple Bar. My window view consisted of an opposite rooms window and exterior build walls and a steep drop down below. If you are looking for a well presented hotel with decent sleep quality, this hotel is for you, if you are on your own this hotel may not be for you, due to its lack of hot meals at breakfast and throughout the day. For a hotel at £180 a night, you could easily get a hotel with a hot food breakfast and evening meals nearby, the price structure like the rest of Dublin is overpriced for what it is, one of the cheaper priced hotels but still not worth the price. The breakfast was ”okay” you had a selection of 2 cheeses, 3 sandwich meats, 3-5 pastry options like pain au chocolat, croissants, scones, sausage rolls and mini bread rolls / baguettes. Was some cereal options too, a choice between orange juice, apple juice and ice water, then your usual hot drinks choice. It was all fresh and well presented, i just wish it had a cooked option too. In terms of location, ignoring the building opposite that was a form whiskey shop. It was great, right around the corner from O'connell Street, where it was incredibly busy, multiple shopping centre esque buildings along each side street, with id say 10 minutes you can be in Temple Bar area on the South Side of the River by foot. With such easy access to trams, buses, taxis near enough on your doorstep, and the far enough away from Temple Bar to not hear it, but close enough to go there was ideal. In quiet traffic from the airport you can make it in 15minutes. So to summarise, it was a good, but overpriced
