I stayed here for a week as part of a Dublin tour in late July/early August 2007. The hotel is in a rather "dead" area of City Center. It's not dangerous, just lots of closed businesses without a great deal of foot traffic. Despite what some other reviewers have said, it isn't a very long walk to Temple Bar/Dame St., unless you are old or incapacitated. It took me about 15-20 minutes to walk there, and I walk at a brisk pace. St. Stephen's Green is also nearby (you HAVE to see this; it's beautiful!), as well as some great shopping in the St. Stephen's area. The hotel itself is pretty good. The rooms were fine and overall the hotel staff was very helpful. The restaurants always seemed understaffed and hurried, but no one was rude. One outstanding employee was at the front desk (I can't remember her name!). She was a "trainee" but very professional and courteous. I arrived early (around 10 AM) after 20 hours of flying. Although my room wasn't ready yet, she told me she would try to get them to hurry, and my room was ready by 11 AM. Excellent! Here's a Tip: Breakfast is included in most stays. Room service breakfast is also free (except for the mandatory 2.75 Euro service charge). I hate going to restaurants first thing in the morning, so this was a real bonus. Apparently tipping isn't usually done here. I gave the room service waiter 5 Euros and he was shocked. Guess I made his day! Only a few gripes: On two occasions my wake up call came late (one day it was actually an HOUR late!). Also, in a time when most hotels offer free wireless internet, this hotel charges about 10 Euros for an hour (or the "better" deal of 15 Euros for 24 hours). There is an internet cafe just around the corner that charges only 1 Euro for thirty minutes -- so I recommend going there and saving your money. The food in the restaurants was not great, not bad; pretty typical for a hotel. Go around the corner or down the street. There are plenty of local places that are much better and much more reasonable. Overall, however, I was generally pleased with the hotel.

Before I went to Dublin, I did a ton of research on hotels and Camden was the best that I found for the price. It did not disappoint. Yes, it was a little bit of a walk, but it was nowhere near as bad as what I thought. I honestly never took the bus into the downtown area and though the walk wasn't bad. Our room was to the back, so we didn't hear much noise. The breakfast and restaurant area were great. The bed was the most comfortable one we had in Ireland (and we stayed at approx 6 hotels). One of the elevators broke, so that was the only bad thing I have to say. I'd definitely stay there again. Oh, and I would also recommend the Bleeding Horse, which is a pub right outside Camden. We tried many, many pubs and kept coming back to the Bleeding Horse because it was our favorite. Very cozy ambiance with lots of little areas to sit. We also stayed at Jurys Christchurch for a night and thought Camden was much better.

There is a bus stop which is located about 100 metres away from the hotel, with buses going straight to the city centre and Temple bar area. The buses cost 1 euro each way, so it's not too bad, but a little inconvenient. If you feel a little more energetic, then you can walk it in about 15 - 20 mins. Overall, I don't feel that the hotel is best located, and there isn't anything to do in it's immediate vicinity.

This hotel was recommended by a company I was visiting for business. Its horrible. The walls are so thin and the noise is insane. They have buses coming and going all night long with bus loads of people, you will not sleep at this hotel. The rooms are no frills, the bed is hard as a rock and mine is at an angle, i've heard others say this too. It is clean, I'll give it that. The air is stale and there's no fan or air conditioning here to at least move the air around. Your only choice is to open the window but hear more of the noise of the buses coming in, or sleep with it shut and be very stuffy.

Restaurants weren't bad. I'd only stay here if I had no other choice. A co worker stayed at the Fitzwilliam by St Stephen's Green and it was much nicer for the same price.

  • Liked — Leaving it.
  • Disliked — everything, noise and bed the most.

I have returned after a 3 night stay at this Hotel. I booked directly with the hotel as my DIL had stayed here twice.
I booked directly with the hotel asking whether the had any special deals on. I was staying Tuesday/Friday. They didn't have but did give me a good price better than any of the booking agents on line. Also much better than the price on their own web site.
I had requested a non smoking and quiet room. I was on the 2nd floor near to the lift. My room faced on to a beer garden and was very quiet. The room was comfortable with 2 beds and adaquate storage for clothing etc. The condition of the room was excellent and the bathroom spanking clean with new tiling etc and a wonderful power shower. I missed not having a fridge but other than this I had no complaints.
The staff were welcoming and friendly but also very efficient. The dining room staff were also although they tend to clear the table when I had gone back to the buffet. The following morning I told them I was coming back to the table. Really it was not a problem.
The breakfast was good althought I did not eat a cooked breakfast. I didn't use the restaurant in the evening.
I travelled from the Airport to the Hotel by the 16A bus which dropped me just beside the hotel. Cost only 1.90Euro. I took a taxi to the bus station and this cost 11 Euro.
The reception staff were helpful with bus routes and other information I required.
My only thought was that this hotel is a little further out than I had expected. I did walk in and out on the first day but took the bus to O'Connell street on the following days. Very frequent buses and numerous bus numbers so didn't ever have to wait more than 2-3 minutes.

Overall I had a wonderful time in Dublin and really enjoyed staying at the Camden Court. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.
