The Trinity City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay"

Clayton Hotel Burlington Road

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great, a wonderful buffet with choices. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful, and I got the a room early which was wonderful"

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good

"The standard rooms are too small for two people with luggage, and there is so little wardrobe space, we couldn't unpack. A suite was much better, but still low on hanging space. The check in and checkout procedures are really good...mostly self-service, and the staff are really, really helpful if needed The restaurant and bar cannot be charged to your room, but I think that made things simpler. The self-service laundry is a great feature! The location of this hotel is excellent - right in the heart of Dublin and near all the main attractions. Final verdict: I'd go back there!!"
