Hotels near Brown Thomas, Dublin

"I had a really positive stay at Gardiner House Hostel — a clean, friendly, and well-located choice for budget travellers in Dublin. 📍 Location The location is excellent — just a short walk from major bus stops, shops, cafés, and walking distance to many central Dublin attractions like Temple Bar, Trinity College, and the Liffey bridges. It made exploring the city super convenient without having to rely on public transport. 🛏 Accommodation & Rooms The rooms were tidy and functional with adequate storage space. Beds were comfortable for a hostel stay, and the linens were fresh. Shared bathroom facilities were kept clean throughout my visit. The staff were friendly and helpful. Considering Dublin can be expensive, Gardiner House Hostel offers excellent value — affordable, clean, and centrally located."

"Stayed with a friend in the standard twin room, and all I can say is that you'd better be close to the person you're sharing the room with, because it is a tiny room with barely a gap between the beds, so it's as if you're sleeping side by side. There was very little room for us to open our 2 small suitcases, so bear in mind when booking. We were able to check in early, which was a nice touch, and the staff was very nice regarding luggage storage as well. Don't forget to place the make-up room sign by 1 am (odd time I know), if not, they won't come tidy up!"

"I stayed at Temple Bar Inn and found the room extremely small. There was barely enough space to move around or store luggage comfortably, which made the stay feel cramped. While the location in Temple Bar is very central and convenient for exploring Dublin, the limited space made it less comfortable than expected. It might be fine for a very short stay if location is the top priority, but for anything longer, the room size could be a challenge."

"The triple room is a bit larger than the family room, and the location is great, right in the city center."

"A neat and brand new hotel with rooms decorated in a kind of industrial style, blended with minimalist style. The staffs there could satisfy client's needs in time and avoid disturbing him/her. There are Swiss-made hairdryer, smart television with mainstream channels in Europe, fine tissues and a bag for packing something. The environment of Ruby Molly was cordial and restful, the bar on the ground floor was not noisy, or was filled with miasma. Here're some suggestions regqrdinh the improvement and settlement of existing drawbacks: 1. Maybe it'll be better to equip the rooms with electric kettles or water dispensers. 2. Check and maintain the audios of certain rooms, which may not work well. 宾馆整洁、崭新，房间装潢风格属混合了极简风的工业风。酒店员工能够及时响应客户需要，且能够避免打扰客户休息。房间设施设备齐全，除没有热水壶与一次性个护日化用品外，吹风机、可正常接收讯号与频道的智能电视、质量较好的纸巾、便捷手袋等都有配备。酒店综合环境友好且静谧，一层的酒吧环境安静，无乌烟瘴气的情况。 建议酒店考虑视情况增加热水壶/饮水机，并检查和维护部分音响设备。"

"It's okay. Just right. The only problem is that it's right above several bars and the windows don't block out the sound. It's very noisy at night."

"We were greeted by friendly staff member when we got there ( dark haired lady) who said it was too early to check in but we could leave our bags with her and she said to try around 2pm as we got there just after 1pm due to an early morning flight. The room was very clean and spacious, exactly as it looked in the photos advertised and the apartment was definitely soundproof. The location was easy to find and walking distance to the city centre. We didn't have any issues during our stay apart from the room was a little too warm and the air con system didn't blow out much cold air. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend or visit again ! Natalia and Nicholas"

"There were bananas and apples at the reception, so I had bananas for breakfast. This was very helpful as food costs are high. The location is very good, close to Trinity College and Dublin Castle, and buses stop there. I was a bit concerned about the lack of a hairdryer, but the price was reasonable and I'm glad I stayed there."

"I had a pleasant stay at this hotel overall. The room was spacious and I really loved having a kitchen—it made the stay very comfortable. It's also nice that it's located right next to a Tesco, which is super convenient for picking up snacks and essentials. The location isn't the most central for visiting tourist spots, and the surrounding area felt a bit uneasy at times due to the presence of homeless individuals sleeping nearby. That said, I didn't encounter any major safety issues. Staff were moderately helpful. One thing to note: if you message via WhatsApp, you'll likely interact with an AI first before reaching a real person. It works, but it takes a little patience. Considering the price, the value is acceptable—especially if you appreciate space and the ability to cook your own meals."

"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."
