Dublin Hotels

Advantages: can easily walk to nearby bars, restaurants.
Disadvantages: nothing significant

I have recently stayed here and i have to say that it was very enjoyable. It is quite central and myself and two friends could easily walk to the local bars and restaurants. The rooms were very clean and well designed. I stayed in a room by myself with a double bed. It had the usual appliances ( tv, iron, telephone, hairdryer, kettle) that all worked fine. The bathroom was kept clean and the shower was powerful enough. The staff were friendly and ... Read review

Advantages: The Location
Disadvantages: Lighting in room, view

...making we finally chose the Jurys Inn, Parnell Street. The reviews that we read were the best we had seen and there wasn't anything that could give you a major concern. It was also recommended to me by some work friends that had previously stayed there and I was assured that the rooms were nicely decorated and clean. The cost--> We went at the beginning of August during the week and we paid 122 euros per night, room only which was around £83 (there ...
...definitely not as good as Jurys Inn, Parnell Street. Ease of getting there--> Getting to the hotel from the airport was very easy, I would suggest the air-link bus, as I believe it's called. It costs 6 euros, we bought our ticket from a machine while queuing as we didn't know if they would accept notes and if they were able to change them as I had read the 'normal' everyday buses don't carry change and that if you need change the driver gives you ...

Advantages: Close to tram stop and airport bus stop.
Disadvantages: Can get quite busy with people checking in & out.

...busy and checking in and out can take up a little time. There is the facility to leave luggage there if you arrive early and return later to check in. Its best point is its location. Right by the tram stop and so very close to Houston Station. ... Read review

Advantages: Very centrally located, good standard 3-star hotel with reasonable prices
Disadvantages: A bit noisy if you get a front facing room

This Jury's Inn, one of three in Dublin city, is ideally located for accessing the city centre, as are all Jury's Dublin Inns) It's situated in Christchurch Place, about 5 minutes walk from the drinking dens of Temple Bar (heh, heh) and Grafton Street (the main shopping area) and College Green. (Trinity College and the Central Bank) Dublin Castle is about one minute's walk and the Guinness Hop Store, the single most visited tourist attraction in ...
...walk away. It's also directly opposite Christchurch Cathedral, and just around the corner from St. Patrick's Cathedral. So you're ideally located whatever your preference; a night on the tiles, followed by a Sunday service the following morning to confess your sins of the night before. Mind you, both the city's main Cathedrals are of the Protestant persuasion, so probably don't go in for confession. (But that's another story!) This hotel is another ... Read review

Advantages: Location, decor, comforable rooms, good bus service close by
Disadvantages: Badly cleaned rooms & a constant problem

...booked us in at the Clontarf Hotel, an old castle that had been converted to a hotel. It's situated away form the city centre in a rather nice suburb of Dublin close to the waterside. If you haven't got a car with you, you'll need to rely on public transport or taxis. There is a fairly reliable bus service close by & it was keenly priced. The cost was approx £53.00 per night (depending on exchange rate) for a four night stay, one night only can be ...
...an impressive lobby, who ever converted it, did a tasteful & professional job. We were quickly checked in & found our rooms comfortable & quite well equipped. It was a hot August weekend & the room had no air conditioning, but of more concern was our dirty bath. We had the remains of the previous person's 'tide mark' left in the bath!! We reported it to the staff & it was quickly cleaned up. Food at the hotel bar was served on the weekday afternoon ... Read review
