I'm sorry to say that I have not one good word to say about this hotel. I stayed here to celebrate my 30th birthday and have never been so disappointed in my life. The room (a four poster) had very little heating and smelt damp. It was so cold that I could not sleep properly. The bathroom was a joke, peeling paint, mould round the bath a mirror nearly falling off the wall and cracked tiles. Lovely (not). The breakfast was limited to say the least and the dinning room was dirty, marks on the tablecloth etc. The manager did her best to help but after a tour of the other rooms (they were all the same standard) we decided to check out. I wrote to both Butlers and the Manor hotel group who own the hotel) but Butlers just sent me a very luke warm apology and the Manor group never wrote back at all. So sorry but I would AVOID this place if you want to enjoy your stay in Dublin.

Recently spent three nights at Butler's Town House and overall had a lovely time. This establishment is run as a bed/breakfast. The rooms are nice, a bit quirky and quite adequate, but not luxurious. However, the thing that sets them apart from many expensive, more luxurious hotels is the level of personal attention and service. The hotel personnel bend over backwards to help. They allow early check in which is something most high-end hotels do not offer and is certainly a luxury for those of us travelling from the U.S. They served me a lovely breakfast of bacon, brown bread and good coffee while they got my room in order.

I think expectations need to be appropriate - they do not claim to be the Four Seasons; however, I will take a friendly face with an umbrella, making restaurant reservations and car arrangements for me any day. They are a 10 min walk from Kings College. With the rehab of the Soccer Stadium, things should only improve in the immediate hotel vicinity. My only complaint, which is quite subjective, is that the pillows are very hard.

we stayed at the butlers town house from friday 6/10/06 to mon 9/10/06 where we had a very comfortable stay. All the rooms are individually decorated to a tasteful design in keeping with the house's era. The full irish breakfast was served hot and fresh and the choice was excellent. The hotel is in a residential part of dublin on landsdown road which was very quiet away from the hustle and buslte of the city. There was a train service 2 minutes walk away which departed every 20 minutes into the city which we found excellent . I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a city break with perfect surroundings.

We stayed at Butler's in July 06. We had a big room with a 4-poster bed, huge bathtub, and large windows overlooking the quiet backyard(our friend had a room on the bottom floor and it was not nearly as nice or big so check on this when booking). The breakfast was delicious with a small buffet and you could also order items from the menu at no extra cost. The rooms are in a large house with a beautiful sitting room stocked with an honor system bar. The hotel offers 24 hour room service too. It is located in a residential neighborhood outside of the center of town. It was a 20 minute walk to Trinity College. We paid 120Euros for a double. We would definately go back there!!
