"We are a pair of seniors and we had a room with a king sized bed which had no access from the sides. This did not work well for us and there was not another room available. Had I known this we would not have stayed there despite all of the other very positive aspects."

"The location was a bit outside the city center, providing a fabulous introduction to life in Ringsend. The nearby park is lovely, and while the distance to city center was walkable, there are multiple bus routes that can easily take you where you want to go."

"Beautiful hotel and room. Arrived earlier than allowed check in and parked in underground car park. Notified reception and were given keys to room for an early check in. Room was spacious and clean. Easy bus ride into Dublin Centre with bus stops a short walk outside of hotel. Visited a few pubs just outside of hotel on our return from the city centre, which were nice. Didn't use hotel bar or restaurant so can't comment on these or other facilities but our room was lovely."

"Great stay and perfect location close to the arena. Very close to a Dublin Express bus stop if you are coming from the airport. Small things would have made it even better for example room had no tissues - minor point but would have expected some in a hotel of this type. Breakfast was nice but food was not very hot which I know is really difficult when you are catering for so many people. These really are minor points and I would definitely stay at The Samuel again."
