Hotel a 4 stelle in Dublino, Irlanda

We booked a hotel for two nights, and the room they gave us was very clean, with a microwave and refrigerator so we could cook. The hotel wasn't far from the city center, and the transportation nearby was very convenient. The only downside was that the air conditioner in the room was constantly making noise, which slightly affected my sleep quality.

I 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!

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff were available around the clock to cater to our every need and made this such a special trip. Thank you so much

The man at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming as soon as my friends and I arrived. The rooms were kept especially clean throughout our entire stay. The friends I traveled with also ate at the breakfast and said the price was fair because the buffet was so good. 10/10 stay. Also just a ten-ish minute ride downtown and airport.

Non ho trovato difetti al Metro Hotel. Abbiamo fatto il check-in in ritardo. Ho chiamato in anticipo. Molto disponibile. Il personale è adorabile alla reception e al ristorante. Facile accesso al parcheggio Holiday Blue. Ci tornerei sicuramente e lascerei lì l'auto.

Recentemente sono rimasto all'Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin e ho trovato la sua posizione sulla O'Connell Street come un'ottima comodità per esplorare le principali attrazioni di Dublino. La colazione era incredibile, ma la zona di lobby si sentiva in crampi durante i tempi di picco, rendendola meno invitante per il rilassamento. Mentre la posizione centrale dell'hotel è un vantaggio significativo, miglioramenti nelle offerte di colazione e nei comfort di lobby migliorerebbero l'esperienza complessiva degli ospiti.

My husband and I had been planning this trip to Dublin for quite some time. And when we found this beautiful boutique hotel online, we were so excited. As soon as we arrived And checked in, there was a lot going on in the lobby area, so it was a little overwhelming. We saw a lady at the desk, but we weren’t sure that she actually worked there because she didn’t greet us. Didn’t even look our way. It seemed like she had a general disinterest or disdain for us being there. I asked, “Is this the front desk to the hotel?” To which she responded in a monotone voice, “Yes.” I was shocked that this was the first impression of the hotel that we were getting. What made it worse was that my husband was told that we needed to put a card on hold and he proceeded to tap his card thinking that it was like all the other places we had been to in Ireland. But it didn’t work. Several times he tapped it and it showed nothing. He asked the lady, “does your tap work? Do you have tap?” To which she replied a curt, “no.” Mind you, she was standing there the entire time and could see the entire situation. This interaction was such a bummer, and this made our short trip to Dublin feel a little sour.  To be honest, not all of the stuff was like that morning. We woke up to get a coffee downstairs, and the gentleman that works at the coffee bar was very warm. A young Spanish speaking man. He was absolutely amazing; patient and willing to answer any questions About the items on the menu And the different pastries available.  Overall, the hotel was a mixed bag. It had a very chic vibe but outside of that lovely gentleman, their customer service can definitely improve!

Questo potrebbe essere un elogio ingiustificato, ma uscivamo da una situazione di merda con Airbnb. Questo posto era fantastico. Lo staff è stato super disponibile. Un ringraziamento speciale a Gisele che è apparsa magicamente quando abbiamo avuto problemi e li ha fatti sparire. A questo punto del nostro viaggio eravamo abituati a vedere le cose andare male e lei ha gestito il mio gruppo alla perfezione con professionalità e gentilezza. È un po' fuori mano rispetto a tutta l'azione della città, ma nel complesso lo consiglierei.

The 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

Hotel molto confortevole, a 15 minuti a piedi dal centro, camere ampie e molto confortevoli, colazione irlandese a buffet e molto tranquillo. All'inizio avevo dei dubbi per la vicinanza del treno ma senza problemi non si sente. Soddisfazione totale e dalla fermata dell'autobus Dublin Georges Quay Ulster Bank, ci vogliono circa 10 minuti a piedi.
