had a thoroughly nice 2 days in Dublin. Hotel ideally situated for your stay and could not fault anything. Food was good and we would certainly use this hotel again.

I booked this holiday with a friend for 3 nights over the weekend. We arrived via the Aircoach which is on O'Connell street, just over the road from the hotel. The check in was simple and were given a room on the 5th floor overlooking the courtyard of pubs. Previous reviews have said that it creates a loud noise, however... More

Stayed here for 1 night on business and was everything i required from my stay. Good city centre location just a few seconds walk from the main streets, the hotel was full with tourists from all over the world so must be a central location ! Rooms are small but wasnt planning on spending much time in it anyway so... More

I stayed at this hotel for eight nights in May 2012. As so many other reviewers have pointed out, this hotel is in a great location for touring Dublin and the region. The Airlink 747 bus coming from the airport stops right across Cathal Brugha Street from the hotel, as also does the Dublin Bus green HOHO bus tour. If... More

Located in the city center, the hotel was clean and reasonably priced. The location was selected by Irish Tourism Dot Com as part of a self driven 7 day tour, but we chose to stay there for two extra days after making a side trip to Edinborugh. The in room brochure indicates free access to the internet via a terminal... More

Good location on O'Connell Street, easy and frequent buses to the airport, and nearby pickups on O'Connell for day trip tours to major attractions. Staff was more than helpful and courteous. Clean, modern rooms. Trinity College maybe 8 minute walk, Temple Bar, a few minutes more.

We stayed at this hotel twice during our two weeks in Ireland for a total of 5 nights. The manager, Peter had been extremely helpful via twitter and email to help me get rooms booked and ensure that my stay would be great. He even marked down an early check in for us as I knew we'd be tired after... More

We were excited to find a Best Western hotel in the world that wasn't a total wreck.* It was quiet, which was a great upgrade from the other preposterously noisy hotel we stayed in the week prior (Dublin Citi Hotel). The room was EXTREMELY tiny, but that's typical for European hotels. Only one of us could move about it at... More
