The Morgan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and quiet, overall a great stay"

Zanzibar Locke

10/10 Excellent

"This place is exactly in the middle of everything you want to see as a tourist in Dublin. Almost every place is walkable. Location is unbeatable. Receptionist Maria was kind enough to accommodate early check in for me as i had a long flight. Food was average but its central location kills all the odds!"

The Fleet

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property! Staff were very kind and let us check in early the day we flew in. Nice and quiet despite being on such a busy street, will 100% stay there again the next time I visit Dublin."

The Chancery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel, staff, location and our suite were all excellent. We just wish we could have been there for more than 1 night."

Travelodge PLUS Dublin City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Clink i Lár

The Mont

10/10 Excellent

"The gym is amazing!! The location couldn’t get any better! Would come back here the next time We loved the hotel!!"

Iveagh Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and spacious. Get room facing back of building for quiet. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was very good. Location was great. Nice neighborhood."

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It seems to be tucked away yet it's less than a 5 minute walk to Grafton street and Stephen's Green which was awesome. there is a restaurant and coffee/beer cart in the lobby which was convenient. I had zero interaction with the staff other than to validate parking. There are kiosks to check in and check out so you may never actually speak to a single worker. If you are the kind that likes more of a human touch just know that. We enjoyed our stay and the size of the room was huge from our experience in getting a family room in Europe. However, the pull out sofa bed which is the second bed was HORRENDOUS. no one could sleep on it. it appeared broken, bowed int he middle and was basically a pad laying on metal poles. Unfortunate since the actual bed was amazing."
