Hotels near Carysfort Lodge, Dublin

"I traveled to Dublin alone and initially wasn't planning on booking such a large place, but for safety and the overall experience, I ended up booking this apartment. It's located in an affluent area of Dublin, where people are genuinely friendly and even cars will yield to you, unlike in the UK where they'd just honk. Here, they'll even smile and wave you through. Public transport, however, is a bit tricky. Buses are hard to come by and you absolutely have to wave them down to stop. So, getting around can be a bit inconvenient. If you have to catch a flight or a ferry, you definitely need to factor in extra time – at least an additional half-hour for waiting for the bus on top of your usual travel time. For instance, I allowed an extra hour for the bus and managed to catch my ferry back to the UK, saving myself €28 on a taxi. Another bonus is that you save money on laundry since the room has washing and drying facilities. Plus, you can cook your own meals, which also saves a considerable amount. There's a supermarket nearby where you can pick up pre-prepared meals to pop in the oven. The staff's attitude was generally good. Being in Ireland, if you just complain about the British, everyone treats you wonderfully. However, the facilities were a disaster. When I checked in, there was no one at the front desk. I had to contact Trip.com to get someone to come out. Then, the main door lock was broken and couldn't be secured at all. I had to contact Trip.com again and go down to find someone. They told me they'd fix it that afternoon, but I explained that with all my belongings in the room, I wouldn't feel comfortable with them fixing it while I wasn't present, and I'd have to stay there. So I told them to just fix it after I checked out. I ended up staying in that room with the faulty lock for three nights. And since I was alone, they didn't even charge a security deposit, just made a copy of my passport for their records, which was actually quite thoughtful."

"A beautiful hotel! We encountered two weddings during our three-day stay. The front desk staff were fantastic – they didn't hesitate at all when we booked breakfast or requested a late check-out. We even left our luggage at the front desk while waiting for a taxi without any worries."

"The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hotel is great for many reasons. The proximity to the train station is a major plus as it is only a 25min train ride into Dublin City. The amenities and service of the hotel is also a plus, there is free luggage storage which is handy. The hotel also has a spa, sauna, steam room and pool for guests to use which makes the stay extra relaxing!"

"The environment is not bad and very new, the restaurant environment is very good, the steak is good, the breakfast is a bit late"

"The hotel was very nice bed was comfortable it was like a home and room was very big ,even tho our king size bed was very big.i went to before then normal check out time ,but the receptionist checked me earlier then there time . receptionists are very helpful,the area is beautiful,tram station is about four minutes walk .thanks trips,com"

"The room can be said to be general, the window is other buildings, the view is not good, can not be regarded as a luxury hotel not worthy of this price, can be said to be the level of a fast hotel. Mainly because the hygiene is too bad, the kettle is particularly dirty when I check in, the hotel has been changed, but there are some debris on the platform, and there is a guest's hair on the shower head. Every day, the cleaning is also average, such as the carpet is not sucked."

"Honestly we booked this hotel because the other hotel was full. However we realised this was a beautiful mistake. And our friend came to visit also agreed that this is a much better hotel. The property is old however recently rennovated and beautifully decorated and the facilities were new. The hotel is surpirsingly well staffed and service standaed is very high and helpful. Overall a great place to stay if u are on holiday to this well known seaside town! I will come back for sure if i come back to Dublin!"

"Excellent staff work Reception & Accomodation & bar people working under Ciarán-?Alway efficient for customers. Great Location; helpful friendly staff on arrival. Love facilities. And they totally refurnished the rooms - beautiful❤️it."

"The room size is not small, clean and tidy, the bathroom is in good condition and the bed is very comfortable. The downside is that the heating is average, it is a bit cold at night, and a thick quilt is needed. In addition, there is no elevator and it is inconvenient to carry luggage."

"The room is spacious and bright. The location is very safe in the embassy area. For food, there are some restaurants about 5-8 minutes walk away. Although there are not many choices, it is okay to eat. The hotel's afternoon tea is very ordinary and has no special features. It feels very comfortable and quiet to live in. I will probably stay in this hotel again next time. The Christmas atmosphere is also very good."
