The Green

10/10 Excellent

The Dean Dublin Centre

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was perfect. Great location, great staff, will definitely be back!"

Keavans Port

10/10 Excellent

"We spent three nights at Keavan's Port and had a wonderful stay. The staff were exceptionally helpful, from checking us in early to helping us find the most efficient way to get to the airport for a very early flight. We found the property's location to be very convenient -- within a comfortable walk to Grafton St. shopping, Trinity College, the Liberties, and even the Guiness Storehouse. We enjoyed the free coffee stations in the quaint sitting rooms and also in the restaurant/pub that sits in the middle of the property -- our only criticism is that these aren't turned on until 7am. The restaurant/pub was busy and boisterous, but our room was perfectly quiet. We will definitely stay here again!"

Wellington Temple Bar

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, nice little balcony over temple bar, great location."

The Mercantile Hotel

8/10 Good

"Took a day to get organised with the differences to the hotel. Great location. Staff pleasant. Would stay again."
