3-Star Hotels in Dublin

Excellent location, warm-hearted owners, clean, great breakfast, highly convenient eateries and grocery store within 100-300m walk. Easily accessible from airport by Bus #16 or 41 (loading bay at Zone 15, outside Terminal 1, direct, 14 bus stops). As the digital board and announcement in the bus is rather confusing, the best is to request the bus driver to inform you to get off at ”Shanvarna Road Est, stop 231”. Try to buy a Standard Leap Card from Terminal 1 Convenient Store for €10 (€5 deposit included), if not available, a Leap Card for single ride can be purchased at €2.60 or simply pay at bus with €2.60 coins. Upon checking in, walk 500m from B&B to Maxol Service Station Swords Road to purchase the Standard Leap Card, your single ride will then cost €2 only with free transfers within 90 minutes. Buses to downtown Dublin (14-17 stops) or other counties nearby are also available from the same bus stop across the road of the B&B. Returning from downtown will drop you off at the bus stop right in front of the B&B. The Comet (a local pub) and Centra Santry Village grocery store are within 100-200m walk from B&B, a pizza/burger take away and a Chinese Takeway are also available across the road. Owners are kind and friendly. Would recommend this B&B to everyone visiting Dublin especially solo traveler depending on public transport and prefers quiet places out of downtown.

The location is fantastic, right in the city center. It's directly across from an airport shuttle stop (Dublin City Centre, O'Connell St, opp RIU Gresham Hotel stop), with buses running every 30 minutes and a 30-minute ride to the airport – incredibly convenient. There are tons of restaurants nearby, with a huge variety of choices, including many Chinese restaurants. All the main attractions are within walking distance, making it a great base to experience Dublin. The hotel itself is relatively new, and the rooms are quite spacious. Breakfast is excellent, and the staff are very friendly 😊

Such a gem of a place! Great location, very close and walkable to points of attraction yet not too close that you can still get a quiet night’s rest. It was also close to the car rental location making it a great place to start the trip. Arrived Dublin airport early in the morning after a 16hour flight, we initially thought of just dropping the luggage and just roam around while waiting to check in. Was so tired so we tried our luck and called ahead and asked if we could do an early check in, so we could at least freshen up. Lo and behold, they made it happen as the room was ready for us when we reached the hotel. Truly thankful! The simple gesture allowed us to enjoy more of Dublin in the time we had. Great service also at breakfast with a good spread and very helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again! 👍🏼

The location is excellent, right in the city center. It's a 10-15 minute walk to Trinity College, the shopping street, and the Temple Bar area. You access it just around the corner from the Liffey River, not directly on the riverfront, which is actually nice as it keeps it quiet and off the main road. However, as soon as you enter the lobby, you can see the floor isn't very clean, with dust and cigarette butts. In the room, the hand soap and body lotion dispensers in the bathroom also had dust on them. Even though I wouldn't use them, the dust made them feel unhygienic. It would be so easy for housekeeping to just wipe them clean. The towels hanging nearby were also dingy and old. The hotel's layout is like a maze, in a square shape, and you have to go through two fire doors to get to your room. One of the corridors even had a distinct lamb smell. The European-style breakfast was above average, with a good variety.

I’ve never been one to write reviews however this hotel is a must if you’re visiting Dublin! Prime location as it’s on the main strip in the temple bar area, brilliant pubs, eateries and shops nearby. We were warmly greeted by a lovely man on the security desk who directed us downstairs to check in, room was ready before check in time so always ring or pop in even if you’re early to see if your room is ready. Reception staff were polite and very helpful offering maps of the local area, recommending a restaurant, offering to book taxis, etc. Our room was a twin, plenty of room for 2 adults with added comforts of a fan and mini fridge. The en-suite was clean and modern, the shower was amazing especially with the included toiletries (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and moisturiser) which smell lovely. We did request a south facing room and it was not noisy at all. We had breakfast from the la carte menu, freshly cooked, tasted lovely with generous portions. On check out we stored our luggage as our flight was late evening, once again offering to book us a taxi for the airport, very helpful!

Located near the pier, it's a 30-minute walk to the bustling downtown area, offering decent value for money. The front desk service was also good; they were able to resolve any issues. There's no free parking, which is understandable given its proximity to the city center. A convenient plus is its super close location to the airport shuttle stop, less than a 10-minute walk. The room windows, however, do not open.

Location was really convenient. Walking distance from the tram and bus stations. Staff were friendly too and assisted with helping to book a cab to the airport. Check in and luggage storage were smooth as well. However was a little disappointed on the room size as it was partially cramped. Amenities like slippers, fridge, etc were not available as well. Overall, good convenient place in terms of location.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were really friendly and the hotel was beautiful , very clean and everything you need was provided in the room. I will definitely be back again. 😊

We had a great stay at Generator Dublin! We booked a private room with a small private bathroom for six people, and it worked really well for our group. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming (welcome drinks included) and the location made it easy to explore Dublin. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at Russell Court Hotel and overall had a decent experience. The hotel was very clean with everything well polished and tidy. As many reviews mentioned, there are clubs below so it is noisy at night. I had expected this beforehand and I am a heavy sleeper so it did not bother me too much. The hotel even provides earplugs which is a thoughtful touch. The reception staff were polite although they did not have a spare comb when I asked. The lift is extremely small and only really fits two people at a time. This is something to keep in mind if you are travelling as a family or with lots of luggage. The room itself was clean although the bathroom felt extremely outdated. It was functional but the taps were oddly reversed. The hot tap was cold and the cold tap was hot. On the positive side the room had UK plug sockets and USB ports which was very convenient. Overall it was a clean and practical stay if you are prepared for the nightlife noise and do not mind some dated features.
