3-Star Hotels in Dublin

Excellent location, warm-hearted owners, clean, great breakfast, highly convenient eateries and grocery store within 100-300m walk. Easily accessible from airport by Bus #16 or 41 (loading bay at Zone 15, outside Terminal 1, direct, 14 bus stops). As the digital board and announcement in the bus is rather confusing, the best is to request the bus driver to inform you to get off at ”Shanvarna Road Est, stop 231”. Try to buy a Standard Leap Card from Terminal 1 Convenient Store for €10 (€5 deposit included), if not available, a Leap Card for single ride can be purchased at €2.60 or simply pay at bus with €2.60 coins. Upon checking in, walk 500m from B&B to Maxol Service Station Swords Road to purchase the Standard Leap Card, your single ride will then cost €2 only with free transfers within 90 minutes. Buses to downtown Dublin (14-17 stops) or other counties nearby are also available from the same bus stop across the road of the B&B. Returning from downtown will drop you off at the bus stop right in front of the B&B. The Comet (a local pub) and Centra Santry Village grocery store are within 100-200m walk from B&B, a pizza/burger take away and a Chinese Takeway are also available across the road. Owners are kind and friendly. Would recommend this B&B to everyone visiting Dublin especially solo traveler depending on public transport and prefers quiet places out of downtown.

Such a gem of a place! Great location, very close and walkable to points of attraction yet not too close that you can still get a quiet night’s rest. It was also close to the car rental location making it a great place to start the trip. Arrived Dublin airport early in the morning after a 16hour flight, we initially thought of just dropping the luggage and just roam around while waiting to check in. Was so tired so we tried our luck and called ahead and asked if we could do an early check in, so we could at least freshen up. Lo and behold, they made it happen as the room was ready for us when we reached the hotel. Truly thankful! The simple gesture allowed us to enjoy more of Dublin in the time we had. Great service also at breakfast with a good spread and very helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again! 👍🏼

The location is excellent, right in the city center. It's a 10-15 minute walk to Trinity College, the shopping street, and the Temple Bar area. You access it just around the corner from the Liffey River, not directly on the riverfront, which is actually nice as it keeps it quiet and off the main road. However, as soon as you enter the lobby, you can see the floor isn't very clean, with dust and cigarette butts. In the room, the hand soap and body lotion dispensers in the bathroom also had dust on them. Even though I wouldn't use them, the dust made them feel unhygienic. It would be so easy for housekeeping to just wipe them clean. The towels hanging nearby were also dingy and old. The hotel's layout is like a maze, in a square shape, and you have to go through two fire doors to get to your room. One of the corridors even had a distinct lamb smell. The European-style breakfast was above average, with a good variety.

Location: Great location, with a supermarket and a shopping mall nearby. There's also a bar downstairs where you can grab a beer. However, it's close to the tram tracks, so the rooms facing outwards can be a bit noisy. Service: The male staff member that night was friendly and very helpful with any issues we had. Facilities: The hotel facilities are good and quite new. But I was assigned an accessible room, which I heard hadn't been used in a long time, so the toilet had a severe odor. There were no other rooms available that day, so I had to endure the smell all night. The staff sprayed some air freshener, which was a nice gesture (and I appreciate it!), but it didn't really solve the problem. If possible, remember to request *not* to be given an accessible room!

Located near the pier, it's a 30-minute walk to the bustling downtown area, offering decent value for money. The front desk service was also good; they were able to resolve any issues. There's no free parking, which is understandable given its proximity to the city center. A convenient plus is its super close location to the airport shuttle stop, less than a 10-minute walk. The room windows, however, do not open.

The Hendrick is a great spot to stay for only a night or two passing through Dublin but like many hotels in Dublin now, it's more or less a glorified hostel. The room setup was a double bed and a bunk for three people yet it was so small we could hardly find room to unzip 2 small carry-on suitcases and organize our clothes. There's no space for a dresser or even small drawer, no fridge and there are no hooks whatsoever to hang anything. With three people in this room it felt VERY cramped, hardly any space to move in the short space of a ”hallway.” For what you pay, it's disappointing that breakfast isn't included either. Again, Dublin hotels are out of control at the moment so it's not a horrible deal. The STAFF is entirely lovely and helpful and it was very clean as well. Thank you! But for a longer trip, find yourself a larger space.

My stay at the Abbey Hotel in Dublin presented a mixed experience, with both positives and a few inconveniences. The hotel boasts an excellent location, being very close to the city center and many major attractions, making most sightseeing spots accessible on foot. There's a shopping mall right across the street, and numerous restaurants and bars nearby, which was super convenient for shopping, dining, and evening outings. However, its distance from Connolly Station is a bit of a drawback; it's about a 25-minute walk, which can be quite a struggle if you're carrying luggage. For this reason, I'd rate the location 4/5. The overall cleanliness of the room was good, and the daily-use spaces were well-maintained, earning a 4/5 for tidiness. A point to note is that our room faced the main road, and the soundproofing wasn't great. Outside traffic and street noise were quite audible, which might bother light sleepers. Furthermore, every time we wanted to enter or exit the hotel, we had to ring a doorbell and wait for the staff to open the door. This was less convenient than being able to use a key card to come and go as we pleased, so the facilities get a 3/5. On the positive side, the front desk staff were incredibly friendly. Their attitude was always pleasant when assisting us with opening the door or handling any accommodation requests, making us feel very welcome. I'd give service a perfect 5/5. Overall, this hotel is ideal for travelers who prioritize a central location, as well as easy access to shopping and dining. However, if you're sensitive to noise, concerned about nighttime disturbances, or prefer unrestricted access to and from the hotel, these are factors you'll want to consider before booking.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were really friendly and the hotel was beautiful , very clean and everything you need was provided in the room. I will definitely be back again. 😊

loved my stay there and just wanna say thank you for the hospitality. I made new friends and met old friends from there. The staff were so nice and I had a fantastic chat with my roomies. I had a roomie from England, Manchester but we didn't share contacts. I would be happy to be in touch. In case he's still there, please share my email address with him. I also played table tennis with 4 amazing friends from Spain on Thursday evening. They were so lovely. I left before sharing contacts. Just in case my email is *********************** and I'd be happy to stay there again really soon. I'll also recommend my friends.

⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) The only positives about this hotel are that the staff were polite and the location is central. Unfortunately, everything else was very disappointing. There was no heater and no hot water in the room, which made the stay extremely uncomfortable. I tried calling reception for help, but the phone in the room didn’t work at all — no response, no connection. On top of that, the walls are very thin, and a group of students were staying nearby and kept knocking on my door and making noise until 3 a.m. I couldn’t sleep properly, which badly affected my work the next day. Overall, very poor facilities and zero peace or comfort. I would never recommend to stay here.
