Stayed here recenty before a visit to an outpatient appointment at a local hospital. I was using crutches to walk and was not very sucessful with them. But on arrival at this hotel I was given a parking place free of charge just outside the main entrance, I was given a room beside the lifts and close to all other... More

HOT!! Windows only vertically tilted open 1/2". Just enough to let the smoke from the chimneys in our room. Mattress was ancient and pillows were completely flat. We had to stuff our bath towels under them just to sleep. If any drawer/doors on the furniture were opened, it was horrible! Smelled so moldy and musty....trees outside our window, that barely...

Depending on purpose of your stay.... Stag/Hen/match its good as location is its biggest draw. Lively bar with good buzz around lobby for groups to wet the whistle. This must not distract that overall the hotel is dated with grotty rooms. The d4 towers & ballsbridge inn are failing to even paper over the cracks. This hotel group is clealy... More

As reported by others the lobby area is very nice and check in for me was a breeze, took just a minute or two. Rooms are VERY shabby and are really in need of a complete overhaul. Location of hotel is wonderful with easy transport into town and lots of bars, cafes and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.... More

I booked this hotel without checking trip advisor and would strongly recommend if you are considering staying here to take note of the reviews. On our arrival at the hotel we were initially unsure if we had the correct hotel as our booking confirmation stated D4 Ballsbridge Inn but the signage on the outside showed the Ballsbridge Hotel. Having found... More

Very disappointing experience at this hotel. We arrived and they did not have our reservation even though I had a confirmation from my travel agent. They admitted that it was their mistake - they sometimes do not enter the reservation in their system. After waiting a half hour for them to resolve the problem I was given keys to the... More

I have stayed in this hotel quite alot lately when travelling to Dublin with work. At €59 per room per night it is very reasonable and also conveniently located for my job. However I dont think a hotel should ever be allowed to cut corners on customer service simply because it offers discounted prices. The rooms in this hotel are... More

Hotel is situated in a very central area, close to town yet convenient to all the attractions in Ballsbridge and the coast. It is a hotel that has not been worked on for many years as it was supposed to be knocked down, but due to a lot of flooding last October, the lobby and ground floor had to be... More
