Dylan Dublin

Dylan Dublin

Dublin|0.7km from Grand Canal Dock
We booked our 4-night stay at the Dylan Hotel in Dublin as part of a 2 city trip (we started with 4 days in London) through Costco travel (great pricing!), and were absolutely delighted with our visit. After a short hop on British Airways, we landed in Dublin, grabbed our bags, and cleared customs very quickly. Our driver from Devine Chauffeurs (part of the package) was there to meet us and we promptly departed for the hotel, about a 6 mile journey. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted curbside by 2 people from the front desk staff, who ushered us in to complete a seamless check-in process while they transported our luggage to our room. Notes on the room: 1. We stayed in a luxury suite on the first floor (which is actually the 2nd floor). Our room had a nice king-sized bed, and two comfortable chairs at the food of the bed with a nice view of the TV on the wall, and a small table between them. In addition, there was a small desk for working, along with another smaller padded chair to use here. On the wall to the left of the bed was a 2 door wardrobe with ample hangars, places for your shoes and other clothing items (which could also be placed in the drawers of the low boy under the TV), a safe to store your valuables (we left our passports and extra cash in here), and 2 lovely Terry cloth bathrobes with matching slippers for our use. The TV has built in apps for YouTube and Netflix, although as Americans, our Netflix logon will not work in Europe. There are also about 20 local channels available, but of course we did not come to Ireland to watch TV! The bed was just the right combination of firm and plush, included 4 king-sized pillows of varying firmness, and a lovely down comforter which was just the right weight. You also have access to set the climate control in the room. This was helpful as we like to sleep in a cool room in both summer and winter. Finally, the windows were huge and let in ample light, but also had black out curtains and shears for adjusting how much light you wish to let in. 2. There was plenty of lighting, including ceiling lights by the door, lamps on each nightstand, and a floor lamp next to the wet bar/coffee set up. There are multiple wall switches throughout the room. There were also plenty of electrical outlets, and USB charging ports built into the light switches next to the nightstands. (These were USB C ports, BTW, so fast charging of cell phones!). Since Europe runs on 220/240V, we had bought an inexpensive voltage transformer on Amazon which worked perfectly with our laptop computer. 3. The bathroom was larger than the typical European hotel bathroom, so my wife and could be in there together without running into each other, and included a toilet and sink (no bidet), a long narrow bathtub and shower combo, and a rainfall overhead shower. Hot water and water pressure were ample, although I did miss the handheld shower which we had in London. And for the life of me, I cannot figure

Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane
3.8/5103 Reviews

Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane

Dublin City Center Dublin|0.65km from Grand Canal Dock
Myself and my Wife were going to a show in the Bord Gais theatre. A long overdue break from the kids! My parents had booked a room in the Clayton for us. As a surprise for my wife I booked a room upgrade online. Only 30 euro to go to a King Size bed with further amenities in the room. While we had checked in online we did not get to our room until approx. midnight. The show and then drinks meant we stayed out. On arrival in the room I immediately noticed it was just a normal room. I rang reception, was told nothing could be done now and that I would be refunded in the morning. No apology was offered. Simply nothing we can do now, get a refund tomorrow. Check out the next morning and I had to bring it up, no note was left on the account. Again the staff were completely dismissive!! I said I was very disappointed, he just said well nothing I can do now your stay is over. I feel like the basic premise of saying sorry must be outlawed in this hotel!! He took my name and number and said accounts would call me Monday to correct it but he could not complete the refund. Note the money had left my account at this point. Monday came and went and no call. I just now phoned the hotel and have been told it will take 2 weeks to refund me and you guessed it, once again no apology!!!! The basics of customer service completely lacking. They took my money immediately, did not provide what I paid for and now will take 2 weeks to give it back!! I will never again use this hotel. I would urge others to look at the Marker or other hotels near by who will actually give you what you pay for and possibly apologise when they make a mistake! I can live with mistakes, they happen. I will not put up with such poor customer service and dismissive attitude of staff.

The Alex
4.4/5107 Reviews
Dublin City Center
I have stayed at 4 or 5 hotels in my various trips to Ireland. I even stayed at a 5 star resort the last time I traveled here and I will say hands down the room at the Alex was by far the nicest room I have stayed in. It's not directly in the town center but it's just a 10 min walk away and one I didn't mind based on the quality of the room. My only wish was that it had a pool. There is a work out facility across the street that I never checked out so one might have been there. If I ever go back to Dublin I would definitely stay here again. They have a couple of restaurants near by both places were excellent one served the best fish in chips that I have ever had the other had a great Guinness beef pie.
Pembroke Townhouse
4.3/550 Reviews
Parking is complimentary and on a first come first served basis. The lobby has a simple desk in the centre, with complimentary coffee, water and Pastries nearby. Staff professional and friendly with payment taken on arrival. We stayed in the loft room, which has an upstairs section to fit 3 persons. There are snack and drinks available in room (pay for on checkout) and the bathroom is bright and clean. The beds are comfortable and carpet spot-less. The room overlooks the main street, which on a match day be noisy, but not something that is loudly apparent when the window is closed. A beautiful hotel and very comfortable in a well kept area.
Roxford Lodge Hotel
4.5/5102 Reviews
We stayed at the Roxford Lodge for 3 nights in September 2022. We arrived wearily after an overnight flight, at 10:00 am. While check-in is clearly stated to begin at 3 pm, the front desk provided us with complimentary tea and croissants in the front room while they readied a room of a guest who had checked out early. Not expected at all, but so appreciated. When it turned out later that our particular room was affected by some unexpected noise, the hotel staff again graciously accommodated our request for a room change the following day, and upgraded the room type as well. While the rooms could benefit from a little updating, the overall hospitality is reason enough to book a stay here. It appears that the lodge is owned by a woman and has an all-female staff, which was nice to see. The location is excellent. It is situated in a lovely neighborhood that is within a 20-minute walk to Trinity College and City Center. In addition, we found some great places to eat breakfast and dinner within a 5-7 minute walk. Thank you for a lovely stay!
The Mont
4.6/5119 Reviews
Dublin City Center
This hotel was perfect for a 2 night stay in Dublin. Very clean and quiet, but so close to the centre. Used the gym both mornings, which was used by several people and clean with towels, water, and a good choice of equipment. Good supply of toiletries, coffee and tea in the room, as well as several bottles water, which is always so welcome! Room small, but not tiny. Staff was fantastic- especially Sabrina who could not have done enough! She offered to organise any tours, and helped us with the Dublin express to the airport (much better than a taxi!). Would definitely stay again!
