Top Dublin Hotel Reviews

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quite."

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in two hotels in this area and this was the best…better by far the Temple Bar Inn across the street. Clean, small but serviceable room. Has A/C, which I used even in the fall. Noise was not an issue and I liked the locations being walkable to so many things. I wouldn’t walk around much alone after very late for the revelers. Only slight negative is very slow check in if you arrive right at check in time."

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"They say “the people make the place”, it’s so true. The Hotel is really well situated for sightseeing and transport ( Aircoach stops right outside) We were welcomed at the door and helped with our cases. The staff on the desk were very efficient and friendly. Our room was lovely and very clean, housekeeping was also very good, we were on the 5th floor and the corridor always smelled fresh. We had breakfast in the hotel, it had a great selection and the buffet was constantly being refreshed. The hotel always had plenty of staff in the Lobby and as we were two females visiting the city, the hotel felt like a very safe. All the staff that we spoke to were exceptional but ,we would like to send extra special thanks to Michael, what an asset he is to the hotel, always happy to help and always smiling and we enjoyed speaking to him each day. We will come back to Dublin next year and we will stay at the Gresham, it’s beautiful."

Clontarf Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"A little far from the main city area, but beautiful area."

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is great. Minutes away from city center and shopping district."

Ashling Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"We always enjoy coming to the Ashling when in Dublin. The staff was super helpful, especially when this time traveling with an infant. We were able to be checked in early and room was always well taken care of. Close to the Dublin Zoo, Jameson Bow Street, and with easy access to Hueston Station and Luas, puts the Ashling in a great location. And the Iveagh Bar is a nice place to relax with a drink at the end of the day."
