Best Dublin Hotels

"The 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."

"I stayed at the Clayton Hotel Galway recently and found the hotel itself to be comfortable, with clean rooms and friendly staff. The facilities were good, and the breakfast was decent, offering a reasonable selection. However, the location is quite far from Galway’s main train and bus stations, which made getting into the city centre less convenient without a car. Public transport options are limited, so you may need to rely on taxis or long walks if you don’t have your own transport. This hotel is better suited for those attending events nearby or travelling by car rather than visitors wanting easy access to Galway city centre."

"They have a free breakfast which was good for travelers. Everything clean, friendly staff and good location."

"Staying here in the off-season was a good value. The location is great, with airport shuttle stops nearby and the train station within walking distance. It's also not far from the main street. The hotel itself seems a bit old. You can see the condition of the bedding in the picture. I also found someone else's hair on the other bed, so I'd recommend bringing your own disposable amenities."

"Honestly, don’t think twice about staying here. I had a lovely stay at this hotel and il definitely be rebooking when I revisit Dublin. I booked the studio as it was just me travelling solo! It was clean, comfortable, and definetly sustainable. It was compact but also spacious. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. The location was great and made getting around the city very easy. Downstairs in the lobby was a very relaxing and moody aesthetic, perfect for working and to the other side was the dining area. There’s so much to unpack here, just book it!!"

"The rooms were clean and tidy, and the service was warm and welcoming, but it didn't quite compare to similar rooms in China, so don't have too high expectations."

"Pretty good for a youth hostel, clean bedspreads, quilt covers and pillow covers on the bed, make your own. Girls from all over the world are very conscious, the bathroom is clean, and the bar downstairs is noisy until 13:00 in the morning, which has no impact on my good sleep."

"Being after decades in Dublin again I realized the city has changes, seriously changed. Staying in the docklands therefore was a new experience. And actually I loved it. Yep, it is a 30 minute walk to the city center, so for those who want to be right within the action, this hotel is not for you. But those who enjoy taking a nice walk along the river Liffey will enjoy it. I also liked the quietness around the hotel, no party noise. The room was clean. Well, it is not a flashy hotel or room, but it has everything one needs. Price wise a fair deal, considering the crazy prices in Dublin. Nice breakfast made it easy to gain all the power needed for the stroll to the city ;) and the staff is competent, professional and helpful. I would chose the hotel anytime again."

"The service was generally good, except for an issue we experienced with a staff member named Peter. Despite having a prepaid and pre-booked stay, we were threatened with cancellation because we requested to check in at 9:30 pm after receiving no response from the property. The automatic door was locked, there was no one at the check-in desk, and we had to ask another staff member to direct us to someone who could assist. Peter eventually came to help, stating he was doing so out of his busy schedule. I expressed that we would prefer to be checked in by the staff member assigned to that role, at which point he stated he would cancel our booking. When we asked on what grounds, he said he was the manager. It was an unusual and uncomfortable interaction, especially given that we were simply trying to check in to a stay we had already paid for."

"Good location and competitive rate for Dublin. A bit dark and cold during the night."
