I have dined here on many occasions and have never been disappointed. The early bird and wine deal is great value. The steak in particular is always delicious, would highly recommend. The service is always top notch with knowledgeable waiting staff

A recent stay at Becketts during a 'girlie trip' to Dublin with a few ladies for a spot of culture & shopping gets top marks. The beautiful old home of Becketts' family has been dutifully restored with all the modern conveniences one might expect of a boutique hotel. Very tastefully designed with an 'arty' feel throughout. The suites, if you... More

I only got this hotel at the last minute because I couldn't book another hotel up the road for a second night. As such I was surprised to get such a bargain price, it being a last minute booking on Saturday afternoon. Which is why I can't complain that I was put in room no.1 right at the top of... More

I had dinner there a couple of weeks ago for the first time and enjoyed it! We ordered from the set menu, the soup was lovely, maybe a bit watery but still good, the steak for mains was also good but a bit fatty, not alot of sides offered, and the dessert was yummy! While the food may not have... More

Describing this as a 3 star does this 10 room hotel an injustice. Every aspect of our visit was supberb especially the restaurant which was outstanding in both quality of food and service.We will certainly will return to this hotel and indeed look forward to our next visit.

We have dined in Becketts serval times and stay whenever we get a chance. Its a really lovely spot to have a nice dinner with friends and the food is quite amazing. We shop in Dublin for the day and maybe catch a movie in The Lighthouse Theatre in Smithfield and then we drive out to Becketts where the welcome... More

We stayed here for one night and were very disappointed. The room we were put in was a tiny single room and was very uncomfortable for two of us. The bed was so small that one of us had to sleep on the floor. The cold tap in the bathroom didn't work, so we couldn't fill the kettle up -... More

We arrived on 6th Sept.after spending all day travelling to find that we had to drag our heavy cases up 36 steps with no offer of anyone carrying the bags up. No Lift. When I eventually got to room 6 it was cold and uninviting. Had to encounter stairs again to have a meal in dining room. Steaks looked very... More

Nice mansion that unfortunately lost bit of its character. Clean. Continetal breakfast OK. Nice room, quiet location, unfortunately the walls seem to be of cardboard, so you can hear people in the other rooms. We considered having dinner in there, but this was too expensively priced. Same for the hotel itself. Difficult to find.

The photos on the hotel website make it look really lovely. And downstairs in the bar/restaurant area, it is. Sadly, our bedroom was a little tired (and moving the TV showed it wasn't particularly clean either), and the bathrom was really disppointing: cracked tiles, dodgy plumbing and dirty/mouldy grouting. Certainly didn't match our expectations. The staff were friendly though -... More
