Beautiful hotel right on the water. Excellent service from all staff. Bar/restaurant very convenient and food was great. Very near bus which was so helpful sin e we didn't have a car. Gorgeous beach for long walks right across the road. Grocery store within walking distance. Short bus ride to Malahide. Highly recommend.

Amazing hostel with super friendly and helpful staff, especially the girl from Brazil at reception (forgot her name 🙈) bed was comfortable, pillow was so snugly, each bed has a mini fan with mirror, lights, charging ports, curtain for privacy etc. Bathroom inside the room were clean, with free towels and ample showers for use! Breakfast was good, continental style, and included in the stay. Thank you again, would recommend highly and definitely stay again!

The room was a bit small, with no desk or chair besides the two single beds. However, the hotel environment was clean overall and it's located close to the city center. There's a 5 euro per day charge for luggage storage.

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.

Overall, the value for money is just superb.
Location: Absolutely central, very close to the airport bus stop. Walking to places like Trinity College is all within 15 minutes. The location is top-notch and also feels quite safe. There are 3 supermarkets nearby.
Facilities: Everything essential is provided and easy to use. No bottled water, though.
Cleanliness: Pretty clean overall.

The stay at the hotel was perfect, the cleaning was good although they forgot to put us tissues during all the stay, but everything was very clean. However, there was something we didnt like. We had a one day trip and had to wake up very early. We had to leave the hotel at 7 am, it was a Monday, so the day before we asked the receptionist, she was very kind and told us that we could come at 6 am to have breakfast since most of the things would be ready before 6:30 am (the time they open the breakfast room). We came at 6:15, just 15 minutes before the breakfast started but a rude lady (from the night shift) told us that we had to wait until 6:30. We were confused because they had assured us we could get something for breakfast, but she repeated that this was not possible. I couldnt barely reply to her because she left before I could finish the sentence
Overall this hotel is good. Location is convenient. It took 15 mins from hotel to airport at 8am (I could see quite a lot of traffic by that time). Italian kitchen is delicious. Hotel room is quiet and clean. Check in process is fast and efficient.

Room itself is really good and very spacious. Walking distance to most of the tourist area. Though there is some hiccup on the toilet sink, they still managed to resolve it after 2days due to the improper handover from shift to shift. Other than that, all are good.

I recently stayed at the Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin and found its location on O'Connell Street to be exceptionally convenient for exploring Dublin's main attractions. The room was clean and featured a mini-fridge, which was useful for keeping drinks cool.
However, the breakfast experience was underwhelming. The selection lacked variety, and the quality didn't meet expectations. Additionally, the lobby area felt cramped during peak times, making it less inviting for relaxation.
While the hotel's central location is a significant advantage, improvements in breakfast offerings and lobby comfort would enhance the overall guest experience.
Very Good

GGuest UserWe had an overall great experience at this hotel. It is in a quieter area of Dublin but there is plenty to see and do just a short walk away including Trinity College, the National Museum of Ireland galleries and within 15 minute walk of most major attractions. They also had good connections to the airport using the Dublin Express Bus that had quite a few stops nearby. There are some very good restaurants a short walk away from this hotel and the Leap Card can get you pretty good public transportation around the city.
The hotel has studio style kitchenette apartments. We were surprised with how well equipped the little kitchens were which included multiple cooking utensils and pots. They had a Nespresso machine, kettle, toaster, mini fridge (stocked with some milk), microwave/oven and a mini dishwasher. Dishwasher tablets, dish soap, sugar, salt, pepper and a few other things were conveniently included. We made ourselves breakfast each day we were here which was easy to do because there is a Tesco Express and possibly the best bakery in Dublin just around the corner with Bread 41.
The room was pretty good with plenty of outlets and even though it was a bit small there was enough space for our two large suitcases and bags. They have a small seating area with a table, a large flat screen TV, good WiFi and good lighting. The bathroom was pretty good too but we weren't a fan of the partition because it does not cover the full shower area and it was easy for water to get out of the shower. They have an all in one body wash too. The room was mostly quiet but we were there on New Year's Eve and there was one lady who had a very loud complaint in the hallway around 3 in the morning for around 15 minutes.
The staff are very kind and helpful. They had no room left in their luggage storage when we arrived so they allowed us early check in which is usually 20 Euros. They have a WhatsApp ”AI” chat that you can request service through and we used it for extra towels that came up pretty quickly.
The hotel has some amenities including a small restaurant/bar that has some food and coffee and paid laundry machines. Breakfast here costs 15 euros if you pre-book but if you want it the morning of it is 17 Euros. The one thing we found tricky about the hotel is that we had to use the elevator to go up and down even though we were on the first floor because all the stairwells are locked up for safety/fire protocol.
Overall, a good stay for our first time in Dublin and we would consider staying here again or recommending to friends and family with similar interests to ours.

TTeacherTravelTimesI decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked.
Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance.
The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre.
Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well.
Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home.
The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want.
Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!
GGuest UserThe Bonnington is usually my go to hotel in dublin, however the stay before this and now this stay has made me look for somewhere else in future. The staff as always were exceptional, however our room was incorrectly rang my reception at 5am, (and on a previous stay we were awoken in the middle of the night by a false fire alarm, so a full nights sleep is not a guarantee).
What was the most frustrating is the general disrepair of the hotel. The rooms are fairly small so for the higher price point you are really paying for the facilities. The smaller issues like furniture being old and leather chairs peeling and flaking were not a big problem, just a mild annoyance. However the bath/shower leaking everywhere when used from the base of the tub and leaving the floor soaking wet, the steam room being out of order and us not being informed of this when or even after booking, and the crowdedness and of the pool and other facilities because of non hotel users with memberships to the leisure clubs taking up the whole hot tub and sauna at once in personal groups was frustrating.
The room was also extremely hot, and the AC very very loud while not actually doing much to cool the room. There was nothing particularly stay ruining about it however if you’re paying over 200 euro for one night somewhere you would expect things to be at least average.
The main redemption was the friendliness and kindness of the staff.
GGuest UserCould not fault Metro Hotel. We were late checking in. Rang ahead. Very helpful. Staff are lovely at reception and restaurant.
Easy access to Holiday Blue carpark.
Would definitely stay again and leave car there.

AAlexIt was a great stay overall. The location was perfect. It was near the center of Dublin. But was set in a quiet neighborhood just outside it. It is a doable walk to a park set along the water. I loved the Medieval Theme. The staff was friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. The dual shower heads are a nice setup. .Request a view of the front of the hotel. The only potential negative is the distance from the airport and the train.
GGuest UserI have chosen Conrad Hotel many times, and the service is impeccable. The breakfast is delicious, and the concierge is also very enthusiastic about the service. I chose a suite, which is large enough and good compared to similar hotels in Dublin.
AAhmed TawatiThe hotel is very close to the public transportation and the mall which is one of the biggest in Dublin
In addition the cinema with updated movies
Restaurants are nearby as well
I would recommend the hotel for visitors
I will book it when I have a trip to Dublin
