Dublin hotels near Trinity College

Pros: Staff were very attentive in all areas reception, restaurant, etc

Pros: The room was the most comfortable hotel room i have ever stayed in. Perfect location for shoppers. The staff made the upmost effort in ensuring we felt special and that we had a lovely stay. I will definitely return.

Cons: Honestly i thought it was perfect.

Pros: Location great and staff great

Cons: Fridge didn’t work, rooms dated, expensive

Pros: did not have breakfast as was not included in my rate. Very disappointed with the first room I was allocated as I had booked a city view and had a view of a wall, a jumble of cables and some extractor fans! Second room ok.

Cons: I think a room of £500 per night on single occupancy should offer a complimentary breakfast. It split our group as the other one of three rooms we had booked did have a complimentary breakfast.

Pros: Great location, very pleasant staff, spacious room (especially by European standards). Very nice hotel.

Cons: Nitpick: bathroom could have used a little updating.

Pros: The location couldn't be more central. It's luxury accommodation with top class food and service and all the extras you could imagine

Cons: Not enough power points/sockets in the room for a modern tech age. The AC unit had mold on it

Pros: Breakfast was wonderful Staff (especially Tommy on front desk) were very helpful Location

Cons: Handicap room, which was not suited for others with low and very small sink. Shower type assured water to go over the floor.

Pros: concierge recommendations great breakfast

Cons: Very small room with minimal closet space and walking space and a step down to get to the bathroom Had larger room for less money on my 5 previous stays here

Pros: Needs were all met. Loved included extras: wine glasses, scale, etc. Location

Cons: Sheets were so tightly tucked, it was hard to pull covers down to get into bed. Trash was not emptied in bathroom from previous occupant.

Pros: Every one of the staff members was friendly, knowledgable and well groomed as well as articulate. Someone was constantly cleaning painting polishing or vacuuming something.

Cons: One afternoon the do not disturb sign was ignored and the house keeping staff tried to force the door open. Luckily there was a second lock device to prevent that. My wife had just flown in from America and landed at 7am. She went across America and then across the Atlantic, and she was understandably tired. We were trying to rest when we heard the racket at the door, startling both of us. It actually made me pretty angry, since the Do Not Disturb sign was outside. The next day they forgot the bottles of water for my room. The following day they forgot face cloths. The refrigerator was struggling to keep things barely chilled, and because of the proximity to Temple Bar, we had to sleep with the windows closed for the entire weekend. I feel the hotel charged at least 35% more than my room was worth, possibly because it was the weekend of the marathon

Pros: Great bed, everything was spotlessly clean.

Cons: Unfortunately breakfast wasn’t included in the price. Minor grudge..... bathroom rather small and I’d prefer a separate shower rather than a shower in the bath.

Pros: Location

Cons: Rooms - small - sub standard bathrooms

Pros: Decor of the room and Denise was wonderful. Location was great.

Pros: Superb location, comfort, and amenities

Cons: No air conditioning, although the weather was nice enough.

Pros: Temple Bar

Cons: The entry process to the house was horrible. First of all I was unaware that there would not be someone present to unlock the door, I pictured someone sitting at a desk to give you a key. I emailed what time I would be in and they said there was nothing further I had to do. Well we got there and no one was there to greet us. We waited for an hr and rang the doorbell multiple times. A couple leaving the house kindly called the owner and got the housekeeper to unlock the doors. She was apologetic and kind. Otherwise the room was very nice. Need to improve communications.

Pros: Great location for dublin city , very close to everything you need and staff are very helpful Pleasant stay Very safe

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Rooms are very comfortable and beautifully decorated!

Cons: No lift and 3 flights of stairs to climb to get to our room, not a major drama for us but if you have walking issues you need to consider this when booking

Pros: Room was beautiful and on first floor so not too many stairs. Check in was great, very helpful lady. Fantastic location by Temple Bar but we had no issue at all with noise.

Cons: No criticism of the Merchant House but if you are driving I'd recommend parking the car first then walking to the hotel - unless you have a ton of luggage. The car park is 4 minutes walk away but if you don't know your way around Dublin it is not so easy to get there by car. It took us over half an hour to get there as we managed to get lost in the one way system a couple of times. Street signs in Dublin are extremely hard to read in the dark!

Pros: Cosy and warm with beautiful touches. Very central and convenient.

Cons: The drive from the merchant to parking. We had a lot of luggage so having no lifts was a challenge..

Pros: It is in a great location, clean and large and comfortable. Highly recommend

Pros: Fantastic room fantastic location

Pros: Room was spacious

Cons: Bed was not comfortable. Saggy. Breakfast was OK but not great.

Pros: Awesome apartment in fantastic location. Loads of great restaurants and bars on your doorstep. Lovely reception staff.

Pros: My room was very big and very quiet, and amazing value for money.

Pros: Staff was friendly and very helpful! Thanks so much! The staff really were the crown jewel of the stay! Room was well appointed- loved the extra shampoo!

Cons: Would have liked a fan in the room- got stuffy and hot- too loud to leave windows open. Washcloths would have been nice.

Pros: We have stayed there before, and will stay there again...Love it!

Pros: The staff were excellent- courteous and helpful at registration and in the breakfast rm. great breakfast- great coffee. There was a wide variety of selections from hearty meat eater to vegetarian. The room was clean, bright, great electric connections. There was great WiFi. Definitely on my to stay again list!

Cons: When we arrived some of the lamps were missing bulbs and others didn't work. The staff took care of the problems within a couple of hours.

Pros: Separate bedroom, kitchen, privacy. Very close to everything, park the car or go without, and you can walk easily to all of the Dublin sites.

Pros: Location ideal

Cons: Bathroom tiles

Pros: Locationwise it's impossible to beat. Right next to most touristic attractions, restaurants and pubs, but still far enough from the noise from the Temple Bar district. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff was always extremely helpful. The triple glazing surely helped a lot to eliminate the noise coming from the outside.

Cons: It was possible to hear the neighbours whenever they had loud music/tv, which wasn't a big problem as people went to bed around 10pm. There was a small issue with the bathroom vent which was always on in my room making a lot of noise, which was fixed after the staff was nice enough to turn the entire building's bathroom vent system in the evenings. However, I would think that this would be something easily fixed by the maintenance team, rather than having to manually turn it off all the time.

Pros: Great Location. Quieter than Temple area. Great staff. Clean

Cons: • Very uncomfortable twin beds however they did provide an extra duvet to soften it a bit. • A little noisy but I just closed the windows and put a fan on. It worked great.

Pros: I have previously stayed at the Alex and wanted to try another hotel in the same group. Both The Alex and The Davenport are excellently located to walk to most places in central Dublin. Very comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms - loved the illuminated mirror.

Pros: The hotel itself was lovely but I felt the staff almost went out of its way to be unfriendly. The one bright spot we’re the men how helped load and unload our car when we arrived and into the taxis when we left.

Cons: The front desk staff was almost nasty whenever they were asked a question. EVERY time we asked for directions to a restaurant or shop we were given wrong information. If they didn’t know they should have just said so, not send us on one wild goose chase after another. The hostess in the dining room couldn’t have been less friendly if she had tried. It’s almost as if she didn’t want us to eat there!! I don’t know if it was because she didn’t speak English or if she was just nasty. Our friends ate in the dining room this morning, were never offered coffee, never told they could order eggs, the hostess asked how they were paying, they said to charge it to the room she haughtily informed them they didn’t have an account!! They had not checked out yet! We were on our way in to have breakfast as they were leaving and told the 6 of us not to bother. Very disappointed. My husband and I travel a lot and have stayed in many different hotels. We’ve occasionally run into staff that disappoints. But this was more than one or two. Not sure I would recommend the Davenport.

Pros: Building seems to have a lot of charm and character.

Cons: Service is not great. I asked for an umbrella and they did not give me one, but gave it to the person behind me! Front staff are not the friendly. The room does not have good bathroom products.

Pros: Fantastic location. A wonderful welcome from Adam, Duty Manager, on arrival. Excellent professional staff. Looking forward to a return visit.

Pros: Great location but the breakfast was crazy expensive and poor quality buffet for the money. Place was tired for the price needs updating

Pros: Great hotel, lovely helpful staff and fantastic location. To be fair my first choice hotel was not available but my experience has been so good that I’ll definitely come back... this is now my new fist choice hotel.

Cons: Breakfast was too expensive to add on.

Pros: The front desk individual who checked us in, and also provided extremely helpful information related to the local buses for getting around the city. We were also able to walk to the City Center, which was convenient.

Cons: Due to no fault of ours (airline issues) we missed our connection to Dublin. I called the Davenport as soon as I knew we'd miss our first night at the hotel, with hopes of getting a refund or some compensation. They offered nothing (I am out $---)

Pros: The hotel was in a decent location. This places was pretty dreary:/ It significantly put a damper on our Dublin stay. We did not want to go back to it after our day of exploring the city.

Cons: This hotel was the worst I've ever stayed in. when we got into our room we realized that a 2.5 star holiday inn would be much nicer than this. The walls were thin, decor shabby, room service didn't do anything. Next time we will book a different place.

Pros: Location & staff were great!

Pros: The staff! They were so helpful and friendly. They answered all our questions and made our stay so nice and easy!

Pros: The location on Merrian Square was outstanding. They provided everything that we needed for a 3-year old and a 1-year old, including the right beds. Check-in was fast. Breakfast was great, and the staff helped throughout our stay, which included two stays, broken by a week of traveling outside of Dublin.

Cons: While the hotel may be a bit older in some regards than others, we were pleased with nearly all aspects of our stay. They do lack a concierge desk and bellhops ever ready to assist with luggage and taxis. However, the front desk always found help with our luggage and arranged our taxis without any problem . If you're looking for the best in hotels, the Davenport may lack a bit, but, we found it to be quite a good hotel and well worth booking.

Pros: The room was comfortable and relatively spacious by boutique hotel standards. The shower could use some maintenance (peeling ceiling) but otherwise the whole look of the room was quaint and stylish.

Pros: Great location, delicious breakfast with lots of variety

Cons: Room got very warm and only a small fan to circulate air from slightly opened window. No cool air conditioning.

Pros: I liked the location of the hotel and the staff

Cons: we booked a deluxe double room and paid £400 for 2 nights room only and the room we were given i wouldn't have stayed in for half the price, it was shockingly small, had a double bed and a single bed at the end of it that you had to climb over to get to the other side of the double, it was horrendous. we were moved to another room which was much better but no where near the standard i expected. I would have put it at a decent standard room, no where near a deluxe room. It was super noisy at night but you do expect that and the complimentary ear plugs came in very handy so that was fine but still very disappointed in the room.

Pros: Location...clean.

Cons: Tiny.. bathroom gets soaked with poor shower door.

Pros: Everything.

Cons: It was all just perfect!

Pros: Central location close to museums, historical places, shopping areas (including Grafton Street) & restaurants. Many tourist attractions within walking distance.

Cons: Rooms are not sound-proofed but the hotel supplies you with ear-plugs which block the noises from the area’s night-life activities (especially during the weekend).

Pros: This hotel is right in the middle of the Temple Bar district known for its great nightlife. But it's also close to many other 'must sees' in Dublin, like Trinity College and Killmainham Jail. The bus system makes traveling about Dublin very easy and this hotel was easy to find. Very modern and clean, it boasts a very friendly and helpful staff!

Cons: There was nothing we didn't like about this hotel.

Pros: Ice cream on arrival the kids loved and the robes and slippers where a fab touch also the goodie bag x

Pros: Bed very comfortable, room a good size, bathroom very clean.

Pros: Location. Central to day life, night life, and everything between. Beddings super comfy. Staff were friendly and efficient. Appreciated the luggage storage offer after we checked out. Allowed us to see more of the city before our late night flight out of Dublin.

Cons: Size of room too small for the intended 3 occupants, guess that's why they call it the Snug Triple Room at 290 euro per night, not including breakfast. We were 2 and space was tight with luggage and warm jackets, boots, etc all in same space. Noisy as expected, it's smack in the middle of night life central. They do provide ear plugs though. Stuffy. Ventilation was poor.

Pros: Wonderful staff, great location and super clean. Bus stop seconds away gets you easily and inexpensively to / from airport.

Pros: The hotel design and colour

Cons: Small rooms

Pros: Room was clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Too small for 3 people. Bunk bed had no handles to hang on to when climbing up or down, my daughter actually fell off and hit her head on the desk. I also climbed up there so that we could put the mattress on the floor and found it very difficult to find a hand hold.
