Top Waterways Visitor Centre Hotel Reviews

Grand Canal Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

The Morgan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the superior queen room which was stunning. Plenty of room for a comfortable weekend stay and good amenities. There was some noise from outside at night but that’s to be expected being in the Temple Bar area. Regardless, we both slept really well. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Only downside would be being unable to cast media to the TV from my iPhone. It looks like this isn’t an issue for Android users."

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, great staff"

Latroupe Jacobs Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Second stay here and would come back again. Comfortable beds, quiet, with good facilities. Staff willing to help and provide information with a smile. Great location for exploring with very good transport access close by."

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in two hotels in this area and this was the best…better by far the Temple Bar Inn across the street. Clean, small but serviceable room. Has A/C, which I used even in the fall. Noise was not an issue and I liked the locations being walkable to so many things. I wouldn’t walk around much alone after very late for the revelers. Only slight negative is very slow check in if you arrive right at check in time."

The Leinster

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful and polite"

The Spencer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"ABSOLUTELY STUNNING HOTEL! Lovely helpful staff nothing was too much. Room and balcony were immaculate. Breakfast was 10/10 It was just an utterly beautiful stay. 100% be back!"

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is great. Minutes away from city center and shopping district."

The Samuel Hotel, Dublin City Centre

8/10 Good

"The Samuel is very nice. We didn’t really have cause to interact much with the staff, so I just did the 4 stars. I gave it 4 stars overall because of location. It is in the financial district, which is great if you’re in Dublin on business, but away from the central area, if you’re a tourist."
