citizenM Dublin St. Patrick's

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 3 nights. We arrived early and the staff was inviting - they got us into our room early too. The room was very modern and we loved it. The breakfasts were wonderful. We ate there every morning. The location is close to everything downtown Dublin. We walked to all the touristy sites from the hotel. We even walked to the train station to catch the train to spend the day in Malahide. We would recommend this hotel to our friends visiting Dublin."

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the Ruby on a quick, one night business trip to Dublin. It was convenient, very comfortable, and very well maintained. The rooms are very nice, well decorated, and comfortable. I'd definitely stay there again."

The Devlin Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"In a cool part of Dublin with many nice restaurants and bars. Laylas, the rooftop restaurant of the hotel is a very nice place with views of the city. There is a movie theater in the basement that shows first run movies. Parking is a bit of a hassle but thats true of most places. This is the second time we stayed here."

St. Aiden's Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful 5 day stay here recently. Marie helpfully answered all my questions ahead of the visit. Then she greeted me warmly with tea and biscuits upon arrival which was so appreciated after a long day of travel. Marie had offered to store my bags for free on the day of check in but then it wasn't necessary because my room was ready early which was an amazing surprise. The room was spacious, clean and beautiful. I loved it and instantly felt at home. It was the lovely pink room at the front of the house with a huge bay window. The shower pressure was fantastic. The little kitchen space nearby was great too. It had a microwave, extra dishes and cutlery and some breakfast foods and fruit. I also did my laundry there for €20, Marie helped me a lot with it since I wasn't familiar with the machine and she also kindly supplied the soap. The location was a 4 minute walk to a busy busy stop and a 9-10 minute walk to several other bus stops too which made it easy to get anywhere I needed to go. There was also a good sized grocery store very close by that I went to almost daily, so helpful. And several restaurants nearby too. I can't say enough nice things about this hotel and the great service from Marie. I would love to stay here again some day! Thanks so much Marie for an amazing stay!"
