Visited for a Six Nations rugby weekend. Hotel has the best possible location. The airport transfer bus stops right outside the front door (in both directions) and O'Connell Street is just around the corner. It's an easy walk down to Temple Bar for food, drink and entertainment, and also to Grafton Street for shopping. Aviva Stadium is about an hour's... More

Great location for airport bus stop and 'hop on/off' bus tour. Easy access to city centre attractions. All staff very friendly and helpful. Room very clean and well appointed. Breakfast excellent with lots of choice. Early check in and late check out were easily arranged. A lovely place to stay. More

Hotel location is good, very close to bus stop for Dublin airport. Receptionists were polite and fast in their service. Room was clean. Free wifi Internet was available throughout hotel. Only the breakfast and the Asian restaurant in hotel were disappointing. Breakfast was poor and Asian restaurant food was flat. More

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights over the weekend. This was our 2nd stay and it was as good as the first. We checked in at 10.30am and we were happy to be able to check in early with an upgrade to a family room. Our first stay here our room was very small so a family room was... More

Nice tv, tea and coffee station, but for me and my husband wasnt enough milk and sugar for our coffees. Breakfast was great, plenty of options,... More

I booked early and got a great price. It was so easy to take the airport shuttle bus to get to. One piece of advice: you don't need to take the shuttle bus back to the airport. Right next to shuttle stop are lots of taxis looking to pick up a cheap fare since they have to go to the... More

We had reservations at another hotel which we weren't happy with. After a walk down O'Connell St. we stumbled upon this Best Western. We went in to check on availability & asked to view a room. Laura was extremely helpful, she showed us a room & we booked the rest of our stay here. We had a delicious breakfast everyday.... More
