  Birthday celebrations

  We came here to celebrate my sons 50th birthday, and we were not disappointed with this hotel, the rooms were beautiful clean and very welcoming, it's situated very close to everything that we wanted to see by walking, all the staff are very helpful pleasant and polite, breakfast is excellent offering a good selection of both continental and full Irish, in two separate restaurants. Entertainment on every night and were excellent singers and Irish dancers. We will definitely be coming back again, thank you again for most enjoyable stay.

  Perfect location for visiting Dublin

  A fine evening spent here in September on a brief but amazing visit to Dublin. So many great sites in walking distance, including the Rock ‘n’ Roll museum and Trinity College and the GPO museum. Dinner in the Castle Vault with the superb Ray Cox serenading our meal was just wonderful, and the food was sublime. Hope to come back for a longer stay and more exploration of this magnificent city. All truly grand

  Great hotel with wonderful restaurant & staff.

  Stayed here 4 nights. Bed is comfy, plenty of electrical outlets and USB ports (old standard USB). Bathroom had a shower and decent amenities (though not enough shelf space). There is a hot water kettle and instant coffee/tea available, but no fridge. Ice is available from the pub downstairs. Also no safe in the room, but you can have items locked in a safe in the managers office. Staff was fun and very helpful with medication that needed to be refrigerated. Two options for breakfast; full Irish in the downstairs Castle Vaults, or continental self serve breakfast in The Old Music Shop on the ground floor. I liked that you could take things from the self-serve to the fill service Castle Vaults. Also recommend the Castle Vaults for dinner. There were several lovely sitting areas on the ground floor. The hotel is just 15-20 min wall up O'Connell St from the river. Several bus tours start from less than a block away. The hotel is showing its age, but it is comfortable, cosy, and I would happily stay there again.

  Brilliant place to stay in Dublin !

  Great hotel! Lovely staff, ideal location, beautiful traditional Victorian décor, an incredible breakfast with the unique feature of having two dining rooms – one for the Irish breakfast and the other for the continental buffet – but if you’ve got a hearty appetite, you can have BOTH for the same price! It was the first time I’d tried a set-up like this. The only slight downside is the food in the restaurant, which is good but nothing special and a bit pricey (especially the drinks) – but at least there is a restaurant, and it puts on a programme of entertainment every evening. We got to listen to Raymond and really enjoyed his Irish songs, his harmonica and his guitar. Truly a brilliant place to stay in Dublin ! France

  Serious Privacy Breach and Multiple Issues During My Stay

  I am extremely disappointed with my experience during my stay. My room was accessed without my permission, despite the “Do Not Disturb” sign being clearly displayed. This made me feel that my privacy had been seriously violated. In addition to this major concern, I experienced several other issues, including a non-functional sink and window blinds that did not work properly, which negatively affected my stay. However, the most serious issue was the unauthorised entry into my room and the disregard for my privacy. I believe guests should be able to feel safe and secure in their rooms, and this experience fell well below my expectations. I would appreciate an explanation regarding why my room was entered despite the “Do Not Disturb” sign, along with an appropriate response to these concerns.
