I had a horrible experience at a hotel down the street, and walked into the Best Western to see if they had a room available for that same evening. To my luck, they did have a room ready. I found the front desk staff to be incredibly helpful - even allowing me to use their reception computer to print out... more

Having read the mixed reviews on Tripadvisor, I was very weary about booking to stay at the Royal Dublin, but with its central location and affordable rates, we went ahead and booked, and we were certainly not disappointed. We had an early flight, and once we arrived at Dublin airport, we got the Airlink bus which dropped us off directly... more

I thought I would give this hotel a chance because it did have some good ratings and the location is great. However, I was not impressed at all. The staff was friendly (though not the breakfast staff). The elevator was old and quite frightening, I personally thought. When you reached your floor it bounced to stop and somtimes stopped an... more

Scary parking garage in the alley behind hotel. Walked up 3 flights of stairs with luggage to get to our "first floor room". Mildew, but no hot water in shower. The location is good, the breakfast and staff were OK. But, I would never book this hotel again. We stayed in 3 other hotels in Ireland and all were great. more

Saw the previous reviews for this hotel so decided to try it out for just one night on a recent business trip. Loved it, the location is very convenient, right in the Centre and the airport bus stops right outside. Every member of staff I met was absolutely great, really hospitable, helpful and welcoming, the reception team were outstanding, nothing... more

This was our third hotel at our stay in Ireland. We had walked that morning in very humid conditions, dragging very heavy suitcases all the way from the DART, you can imagine our joy in hearing that our room was actually ready for us. A good sign...or so we thought. As we are walking through the halls to get there,... more

I stayed in this hotel with a friend, as we had few days in Dublin we wanted a centric hotel. The location is perfect, but that is about it. We had read the mixed reviews on Tripdvisor prior to booking, and specifically asked to be given a room with twin beds in the refurbished part of the hotel. We sent... more

Just returned after our 4 day stay at the Royal Dublin. Situated at the quiter end of O'Connel Street. From the outside the upper part of the hotel didn't look that great, but on entering, it was indeed much better, nice big reception area with lovely comfortable sofas. Our room was on the 4th floor and was very quiet, nice... more

I was a bit concerned about staying at this hotel, as I'd seen both positive and negative comments on this site. I read one review which suggested requesting a refurbished room - so I did. When we checked in, we were greeted by a relatively friendly receptionist who booked us into room 303. Assuming as there was no mention of... more
