Hotel a 4 stelle in Dublino, Irlanda

We 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.

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

Il Bonnington è solitamente il mio hotel di riferimento a Dublino, tuttavia il soggiorno precedente e quello attuale mi hanno spinto a cercare un altro hotel in futuro. Il personale, come sempre, è stato eccezionale, tuttavia la nostra camera è stata erroneamente chiamata alla reception alle 5 del mattino (e in un soggiorno precedente siamo stati svegliati nel cuore della notte da un falso allarme antincendio, quindi una notte di sonno completo non è una garanzia). La ​​cosa più frustrante è il degrado generale dell'hotel. Le camere sono piuttosto piccole, quindi per il prezzo elevato si paga in realtà per i servizi. I piccoli inconvenienti, come i mobili vecchi e le sedie in pelle che si scrostavano e si scrostavano, non sono stati un grosso problema, solo un leggero fastidio. Tuttavia, la vasca/doccia perdeva ovunque quando veniva utilizzata dalla base della vasca e lasciava il pavimento fradicio, il bagno turco era fuori servizio e non ne siamo stati informati al momento della prenotazione o addirittura dopo, e l'affollamento della piscina e di altre strutture a causa di persone esterne all'hotel con abbonamenti ai centri ricreativi che occupavano l'intera vasca idromassaggio e la sauna contemporaneamente in gruppi individuali era frustrante. La camera era anche estremamente calda e l'aria condizionata era molto rumorosa, pur non facendo molto per rinfrescare la stanza. Non c'era niente di particolarmente deprimente, tuttavia se si pagano più di 200 euro per una notte, ci si aspetterebbe almeno un soggiorno nella media. Il principale punto a favore è stata la cordialità e la gentilezza del personale.

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.

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.

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!

C'è una fermata del tram proprio accanto all'hotel, il che rende gli spostamenti comodi. Anche raggiungere il centro città a piedi è facile: ci vogliono circa 30 minuti a piedi lungo il fiume. Il personale della reception è molto cordiale. È un hotel in stile residence; la camera è dotata di utensili da cucina, lavastoviglie, frigorifero e lavatrice. Sorprendentemente, il bagno ha persino uno stendino riscaldato, il che lo rende adatto anche a soggiorni prolungati. Tuttavia, la pulizia non viene effettuata quotidianamente. Non ci sono finestre, quindi l'aria potrebbe risultare un po' afosa se siete sensibili alla pressione dell'aria.

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.

L'hotel è molto vicino ai mezzi pubblici e al centro commerciale, uno dei più grandi di Dublino. Inoltre, c'è un cinema con film aggiornati. Anche i ristoranti sono nelle vicinanze. Consiglierei l'hotel ai turisti. Lo prenoterò quando andrò a Dublino.
