Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, Tivoli

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was great and the staff very helpful. If I had to point out anything it would be that the cleaning procedure and what we were entitled to, wasn't very clear."

Clink i Lár

10/10 Excellent

"I upgraded to the solo room. Great experience, all around."

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

10/10 Excellent

"Modern hotel in great location. Staff was very helpful. Good breakfast."

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot for a quick stay in Dublin!"

easyHotel Dublin City Centre

8/10 Good

"This hotel was an easy 25-30 minute walk to the downtown area. It was a clean hotel with helpful staff. The room was very small but provided what one needed, however, be prepared for very basic, especially if you are from North America. Public transportation right outside the hotel. Nice they had a coffee machine available for all guests in the lobby. My only suggestion which I believe would be a huge improvement to the room, is if there were 2 additional floating shelves in the sleeping area, another floating shelf in the bathroom, and 2 coat hooks by the front of the door. Would I stay at this hotel again? Absolutely."

The Hendrick Smithfield

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay if you aren't opposed to walking to all the places to explore. Very modern and nice, clean rooms and bathrooms, and comfortable, and quiet! Staff are very nice and helpful, the bar with live music at night is a good time, and food options are very accommodating. Can't comment on the parking outside on the one way street, because we didn't drive, but it was not any trouble for us to walk every from Guinness to Grafton Street to Trinity College, etc. Only complaint, wast the thermostat did not have much range for adjustment. It was locked out at a high and low settting that was not ideal for our sleeping room temp. Otherwise, highly recommend if you don't mind walking, but taxis are easily and affordably available. If you stay, DEFINITELY go to Cobblestone just around the corner!!! Locals' pub, TRADITIONAL Irish music, and great experience with the locals too. A+"

Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, City Centre

8/10 Good

"Short stay in Dublin, on the North side of the River, where the hotel is located a shirt distance away from the shops, plenty of eateries, and local bars/pubs. In less than ten minutes walk you can make it across the River to explore the South side (Temple Bar). Staff were excellent, upon the check in and check out experience. Helpful, friendly and welcoming, making sure that any needs were met, or actually offered before we could ask,"
