I stayed in this hotel during an EU summit. The conference hall was nice, but the hotel and its rooms were really mediocre. There is a new part built behind the old hotel and I had real troubles in finding my room. The breakfast is poor and rooms are old and badly maintained. The inner climate was also too hot.Still...

I stayed for 2 nights 11th / 12th June. Although I arrived early check in was no problem, I was happy to wait in the bar for a few minutes with a Guinness until the pleasant young lady on the front desk brought in my room keys and paperwork. The room although not decorated to a modern standard was fairly... More

We arrived to a room with a large puddle in the bathroom the toilet was leaking. Instead of sending up maintenance they sent a maid. They did not fix it, then they assigned us a new room, which had someone else in it when we arrived. Finally got a new room, it was very warm, old and dirty.

Nice enough hotel for the money but the rooms are tired Nd in need of refurbishment. For example, the bathroom was in a poor state with no toilet roll holder (broken) and an old broken hair dryer on the wall. The tv was an old CRT type the beds were comfortable and the room was a good temperature. Served a... More

Our room was uncomfortably warm. When we called the desk they said there was nothing they could do and they ran out of fans. The room was old and dated. Shower pressure was awful. Luckily it was only one night. Definitely not worth the cost. Warning you have to pay eleven euros for parking (day and overnight charges). I would... More

Could be rated better but bathroom is very poor. You can abhor it. General cleanliness to be improved. Breakfast is nothing special - lets say standard. Service cannot be praised- both reception and morning staff. Good advice - pay 20 Eur more if you can and find something better.

I think I would be less cranky about the Ballsbridge if they simply owned up to what they are: budget accommodations with a relatively convenient location. Instead they profess to be a "four star" hotel and do not live up to those expectations at all. They have spent no effort to train their staff in customer service and it shows.... More

My company put us up in the hotel for 4 nights. The location is great. Walking distance to town and around the corner from the American Embassy.We had no problem getting parking at the hotel which is free to guests. Its a large hotel as Irish standards go with nearly 400 rooms. By default it is always busy and you... More
