Top The Book of Kells Hotel Reviews

Clink i Lár

10/10 Excellent

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

Wellington Temple Bar

8/10 Good

"It was good I can't complain. A bit more attention could be done to some minor details when I comes to design. However, overall good."

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!"

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."

Travelodge PLUS Dublin City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy bed good shower, good location"
