Hotels Near Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Dublin

It was my first trip away after major illness, so I decided to maximise my enjoyment by making my journey as easy as I could. Flights to and from France were bookended by one night stays in the Uppercross House Hotel in Rathmines, and the Phoenix Park Hotel, chosen for its proximity to Heuston Station and the train home. Had I known way back in January what I do today, I’d have booked both nights at the Uppercross House Hotel, and used the money I saved on the room to pay for a taxi to the station. My experiences at the two hotels could not be more different. At the Uppercross House Hotel my welcome, my room, my breakfast and every encounter with the staff was excellent. The staff in particular were exceptional: caring, friendly and professional. The cost of my room with breakfast was over €30 less than the Phoenix Park Hotel, and both my requests for a top floor room and a room away from the road were realised. In contrast my welcome at the Phoenix Park Hotel made me feel like a criminal. I always greet staff with a big smile. In response, in stead of “Hello!” or “Good afternoon!” I received “I.D. Please.” Then I found out that my booking didn’t include breakfast, and that no cooked breakfast was available. I accept both hotels are in the city, and therefore noise was inevitable, but the Phoenix Park Hotel ignored both my requests, giving me a first floor room at the apex of a busy traffic junction. Both window latches were broken, so I went to reception to request a room change, and was moved to another first floor room that also had broken window latches. Then I was kept awake all night by banging and thumping above me (that’s why I prefer top floor rooms.) The bathroom had a blocked sink and cracked floor tiles. Next time I stay in Dublin I’ll be at the splendid little Uppercross House Hotel, enjoying an evening down the road at Slattery’s excellent pub.

In my opinion the Marlin hotel is more like a very fancy hostel than a traditional four star hotel. That comes as a bit of a surprise if you are not expecting it! On the plus side it’s very clean, very unique style, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The cons are that the king rooms are just too small for two people. Travellers with a lot of luggage will struggle. The breakfast was average for the price. The dining option is bar food only. The high price tag is for the excellent location, not the accommodation. We did really enjoy our stay but would consider other options with more spacious rooms for our next stay in Dublin City centre.

I had to find a Hotel quickly in Dublin as my regular place was sold out. This was an incredible surprise. The rooms are advertised as smaller but honestly even though they are not large they are so well laid out it seemed much larger than it was. It had most everything I am used to such as a refrigerator, Hot water electric pot, a place to set my luggage on and hang up my clothes. It even had a decent sized shower and bathroom area. It has a good sized room safe, a fold down area for a laptop and quite a large flat screen Television with a good number of channels. The place seemed like new and was immaculate. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good and well worth the price. Tucked away a few steps off the main drag so it was quiet as well.

The house is small, but the facilities are complete and there is a kettle to boil water. Good location Just on the main street, walk to Trinity College for 5 minutes, go to the shopping festival for 5 minutes, and be close to the bar street.

Lovely budget hotel about 20 mins walk from Temple Bar area. Upon arrival nothing was too much and a warm welcome from Diana , giving us a coffee as we had come in on an early morning flight. Rooms were clean and basic. Comfortable bed , lovely clean shower room with powerful shower. A bit tight for room but it was only a base to get our heads down and change. There is a vending machine for morning coffee … easy walk into town… just follow the tram tracks , and easy for the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery. Excellent value for money if you’re going to be spending most of your time away from the hotel , but comfortable enough to unwind for a few hours too.

I live on the 6th floor. There are 18 rooms on each floor with 12 beds in each room. There are two toilets and two bathrooms on each floor. Fortunately, many people know how to shower, so they are enough. Bath towel €2. You have to enter the room with a key card. Remember to bring the lock to the locker. There are many homeless people in the lift lobby on the two floors who can come and go freely. There are USB plugs, two lights, and curtains. Turning on the heating in winter is a bit hotter, and it avoids the symphony of snoring, making it difficult to fall asleep. Most people prepare to go out to the bar in the evening and return after 2am. The location is in a central area, and there are many drunk people peeing everywhere after dark, so you have to watch the road.

Nice hotel. Looks and feels new. Location is good. Central and easily accessible for my purpose. Its effectively in the city itself. There's even an outdoor area for people to enjoy the external environment. Wifi worked fine. There's a bar for those who want to have couple of drinks, and the breakfast spread is decent. I would certainly consider staying again in future

Point A Hotel, what can I say. Well presented inside and out, the access to bedrooms locked behind a key card, the bar and breakfast area also immaculate. As you enter your bedroom it is well organised and has everything you need. The bed was a firm mattress but that was perfect, a surprised samsung 43” TV was waiting to be watched from the wall. With LED strip lights and mode lights all around the room and a decent air con to go with. The room had a safe but i never needed to use it. The one LED strip light on the curtain track was losing its stick and i had to reattach it everytime the curtains where opened. Speaking of which the arrangement I felt was weird as it typically goes curtain than net curtain from inside looking out, this hotel went net curtain then curtain. Maybe you do get some rooms with a view, i most certainly did not, considering how close it is to the heart of the city and Temple Bar. My window view consisted of an opposite rooms window and exterior build walls and a steep drop down below. If you are looking for a well presented hotel with decent sleep quality, this hotel is for you, if you are on your own this hotel may not be for you, due to its lack of hot meals at breakfast and throughout the day. For a hotel at £180 a night, you could easily get a hotel with a hot food breakfast and evening meals nearby, the price structure like the rest of Dublin is overpriced for what it is, one of the cheaper priced hotels but still not worth the price. The breakfast was ”okay” you had a selection of 2 cheeses, 3 sandwich meats, 3-5 pastry options like pain au chocolat, croissants, scones, sausage rolls and mini bread rolls / baguettes. Was some cereal options too, a choice between orange juice, apple juice and ice water, then your usual hot drinks choice. It was all fresh and well presented, i just wish it had a cooked option too. In terms of location, ignoring the building opposite that was a form whiskey shop. It was great, right around the corner from O'connell Street, where it was incredibly busy, multiple shopping centre esque buildings along each side street, with id say 10 minutes you can be in Temple Bar area on the South Side of the River by foot. With such easy access to trams, buses, taxis near enough on your doorstep, and the far enough away from Temple Bar to not hear it, but close enough to go there was ideal. In quiet traffic from the airport you can make it in 15minutes. So to summarise, it was a good, but overpriced

Super location, quiet but with the tram on the doorstep to get out and about in Dublin. Apartment absolutely fantastic with Smeg appliances, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge with freezer, microwave grill and two ring halogen hob. Large glass window (no opening) we had good view of the river Liffey. King size bed with more than enough bedding - please note the bed is very low, just off the ground so could present difficulties for some people getting in and out. The Apartment block was big but there was very little noise. The blackout cutains were stuck to the wall on each side eliminating any light coming through when closed, a nice touch, assisting with a good night's sleep. The Apartment had a 48inch 360 degree turning Samsung TV with an acceptable number of channels. The bathroom was of a good size with a super walk in shower. Soap etc was provided. Our visit was for one week and the Apartment was cleaned and towels/bedding changed on the fourth day. Limited tea and coffee was present upon arrival but the friendly receptionist did stress that if we needed anything then please ask which we did and more tea etc was provided. There was enough storage space for our clothes for the week. In the wardrobe was a safety deposit box, free of charge, plenty big enough for any valuables, passports etc. A big bonus was that we arrived at 1230hrs expecting to leave our cases there but fortunately were able to be booked in and have access to our room immediately.

Superb experience ✨ This hotel was crystal clean, the room was spacious and airy and decor lovely. These beds! So comfortable we fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow! A dream ☁️ The team at the hotel were wonderfully helpful, attentive and friendly. We arrived very early the day of check in and they allowed us to check in and head up to the room on arrival which was such a relief after not sleeping almost two days with travel! We were very thankful. There is also a check out time of 12pm which is a fabulous perk! The only downside was we spent a lot of money on taxis into Dublin City which definitely added up. However, there is public transport available that brings you to the city in an hour. We had a lovely experience at this hotel. It was faultless and we would certainly stay again! I will dream about those cosy pillows and duvet !
