The staff were super friendly, the room was clean and the breakfast was good (good for a 2-star hotel). The price was a little high for what they offer, could be due to the high demand time.

Location is pretty good but condition of the hotel is not great. Also only have one type of soap dispenser in room with really strong soap that isn't good for your skin. The tea kettle was also questionably clean. The lift also did not work when I arrived. Way over priced for what you're getting.

Probably will not go again unless refurbed.

Hotel is badly in need of a refurbishment. Hair dryer in room not only not working, but wiring frayed so therefore dangerous. Tried to ring reception for portable hair dryer and report fault only to find phone not working either. People on reception friendly and helpful also the cleaners.

Very central, overlooks beautiful canal. However, it's also a bit noisy from traffic - and from the adjacent Portobello bar/pub downstairs with loud crowds, disco and live music! Better for young clientele that an old single like me!

I wouldn’t say there was anything I liked. The first night we stayed our plugs in the room were not working so we were unable to charge anything in the room. We weren’t able to get another room untill the next day. Which ment we didn’t have a room from 11-4. The next room was okay. The key wasn’t working to begin with then the toilet wouldn’t flush. I would say over all horrible experience especially after paying €350 it was not worth it and very Disappointing. We also got told we would get a ‘ discomfort’ fee back but that never happened.

Buona posizione, hotel pulito

Hotel carino e personale alla reception molto gentile. All'arrivo il receptionist ci ha fatto un upgrade della prenotazione aggiungendo la colazione gratuita che inizialmente non era inclusa nela prenotazione. Abbiamo avuto un piccolo problema con il riscaldamento in camera che è stato risolto prontamente nel giro di 5 minuti. L'hotel ha una buona posizione, a 20 minuti a piedi dal centro e 10 dalla fermata del bus che porta all'aereoporto. Unica pecca le ragazze che servivano al buffet della colazione erano sgarbate e per niente accoglienti. Tutto sommato, ci tornerei

Super venlige og hjælpsomme personale. Værelset har set bedre dage(problem med vinduet), dog rengøringen var i orden. Man får det, som en 2 stjernet hotel kan tilbyde. God beliggenhed. Ca. 20 min gågang fra citycentret.

Portobello Hotel hieman erikoinen kokemus.

3 kerroksisen Hotellin hissi ei toiminut ja osa perheestä jäi lähtöpäivänä jumiin hissiin. Hotellissa todella kuuma, pattereita ei pääsyt itse säätämään. kaiken kaikkiaan kuluneen oloinen. Palvelu oli kyllä ystävällistä. Äänet kuuluivat hyvin käytäviltä huoneisiin. Hieman syrjässä mutta Raitiovaunulla pääsee keskustaan. Ratikka 5-10 minuutin kävelymatkan päässä.

Dejligt ophold i Dublin

Vi ønskede at bo nær ved Griffiths Colllege og Portobello Hotel var netop i gå afstand. Vi fik et dobbeltværelse på 2. sal over udebaren og der var noget støj fra gæsterne på pubben om aftenen. Men vi vidste at vi havde booket vores værelser på en Pub, så det måtte forventes. Lidt sang om morgenen fra nogle Rugby fans var mere morsomt end irriterende. Vores venner havde værelser i hver sin ende på 2. sal og de havde ikke meget støj. Vi fik dejlig morgenmad og spiste et par gange på Pubben - almindelig, god Pubmad og rimelig priser. Man kunne gå ind til Centrum på ca. 25 min.
