Top Rathfarnham Castle Hotel Reviews

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

The Dean Dublin Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Top draw"

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

10/10 Excellent

"First time very pleasant stay Beautiful hotel Staff accommodating but we had a few hiccups"

No 9 Rathgar

10/10 Excellent

"This is a nice, low-staff guesthouse near Rathgar. Staff was there in the morning and quite helpful. The lounge on the main floor is great to have simple self-catered breakfast or sit and read. There is a fridge and a microwave in the lounge, and the rooms have tiny fridges also. Rooms are not huge but are comfortable and clean. It’s in a residential neighborhood. My daughter and I enjoyed it. Dublin Express bus service stops 5 minutes away. Rathmines area with more shopping is a 15-min walk. Loved Rathgar pub nearby - cozy and relaxed."

The Uppercross House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very clean and wonderful to stay in. The only small issue was the bacon for the breakfast. It was cocked too much and it was all most like eating a piece of fried tyres. This is the only negative point."

Clayton Hotel Charlemont Dublin City

10/10 Excellent

"Liked the variety at breakfast."

Donnybrook Hall

8/10 Good

"Had a hard time getting in after dark, as there wasn’t an outside light on. Couldn’t read the entry code instructions. No one answered the doorbell. It was scary . My room was on the top floor, which was difficult, with my suitcase ; there was not a lift. My room was very hot; had to open the windows for it to cool down. As I was right outside the school playground next door, the noise woke me up early. Staff was very helpful & kind."
