I stayed at the Royal Dublin for two nights while on business in the city. The hotel itself looks poor from the outside, and inside is not much better. The room at first appeared fine, however it wasn't particularly comfortable, and was a little on the cramped side. The bathroom was fine; nothing more, nothing less. I did notice that... more

Stayed there for 3 nights in May-June 08' for the first time I was in Dublin. Chose to stay at a different hotel on my second visit to the city. The location is unbeatable of course, as it's right on the main street of Dublin, with everything you could ever want nearby, stores, sightseeing, transport, bus tours. Problem is, it... more

Stayed here in October. I had read the reviews but was willing to give this place the benefit of the doubt being a Best Western, which i usually have a good experience in. The secure parking was good but everything elce was not. Housekeeping woke me early the following morning, banging doors and making a lot of noise. I had... more

On arrival we walked through the fog of cigarette smoke outside the entrance doors to be hit by a very unpleasant smell in the tired foyer. The receptionist was unwelcoming and gave us no hotel information on breakfast times, location etc. When we asked about a popular tourist attraction he told us he knew nothing about it and it was... more

We were really worried, having read some of the bad reviews, but took the advice to e-mail requesting a refurbished room at the back on an upper floor. On arriving at 08.30 am on the day of the Dublin Marathon we were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming receptionist who allowed us to book in immediately. The room (no.520)... more

I have never in my life came across such IGNORANT STAFF. They must really hate their job. The bar staff were in particular the rudest. I met alot of people in the bar that night who complained about them. We left the bar early as we were nearly afraid to ask for another drink! The staff who manned the carvery... more

This hotel is in a very central location and the reception area is fine But it smells of the most awful musty/urine smell and the room had stains on the carpet and the same smell.I would not recommend this hotel at all. more

I have nothing but praise for the staff and the outstanding customer service they provided during our stay at the Royal Dublin. Parts of the hotel may be 'a little tired' in estate agent jargon but that was insignificant in the overall scheme of things. I took my husband for his 50th birthday and we were joined by a group... more
