Hill of Tara

Great bargain. Right on the bus line to the center of Dublin. Very clean. Nice kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave and a Centra downstairs. We got our LEAP passes there. The wet room was an adjustment but it was fine. Easy parking and load-in. Staff on-duty 24/7. Nice choice of eateries downstairs. I enjoyed meeting students there for summer study as well.

All of the staff are proactive, charming and so helpful. All queries were answered fully and with good humour. The hotel is beautiful but the staff are extraordinary.

There was nothing bad about our stay. The room was clean and the location was great. However, it was very dated. Now, with hindsight being 20/20 (and understanding how walkable Dublin is), I probably could’ve booked a hotel a bit further away (at a better price), and been happy. That being said, the staff was very friendly. It’s just a bit expensive for what you get.
