Top The Book of Kells Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel . I go to Dublin once a year and always make sure I’m at the Gresham"

The Morgan Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel was clean and quiet with great staff and located right in Temple Bar. We are early birds and did not visit the bars or music scene so some of the location was lost on us. So close to Grafton Street and other great shopping though. If you want to visit bars and pubs this place is excellent and even if you do not there was no noise. We would have loved a gym here but other than that it was fine. The staff made it. They were lovely."

The Chancery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, close to everything however also located for a quiet experience"

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"No coffee maker in lobby. Broken for 4 days."

The Trinity City Hotel

8/10 Good

"Trinity Hotel was a beautiful place to stay, with very comfortable rooms. After two weeks of travel, my husband said our night at Trinity Hotel was one of the best! My only feedback was when I needed a power converter, they wouldn’t bring it to my room. Every other hotel I stayed at had no problem bringing one to the room. So not as full service as some of our other accommodations."

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Wellington Temple Bar

Wren Urban Nest

"This hotel was lovely. The breakfast is great. Loved the vibe. Great decor.If I had to suggest something was they need to add conditioner. Other than that it’s a perfect hotel. They have great coffee in the room along with so many teas. Highly recommend.Oh the food here is amazing."
