Myself and three friends stayed in the Tara Towers in November 2011 for two nights. We were greeted on check in by the very pleasant receptionist and shown to our rooms on the 7th floor. Unfortunately, our room looked onto a roof and office block but our friend's room looked out on Dublin Bay which was really nice despite the... More

Rough on outside....and quite antiquated inside. Very well heated which on a cold winters day can be nice but can be overpowering and room heating not easily controlled. Has a nice breakfast and restaurant facilities...all OK. Rooms at front have nice view of Dublin bay. Easy access to bus and Dart services to central Dublin. More

I had a one night stay here for business. The building looks fairly rough on the exterior, but inside is fine. The staff were nice enough, and I had a good night sleep. The car park was a bit dire though, it's just a gravelled area with no markings at all. For a business trip this place is nicely priced... More

I recently stayed in this hotel and found it old and in need of updating. 1) The bedrooms were tidy and clean 2) The furniture seemed to be from the 70's 3) The shower took 15-20min for the hot water to kick in. So a cold shower was not nice :-( 4) The bed was unconfortable 5) Spot lights outside... More

I stay here quite regularly for work as my workplace is close buy. Its fantastic value for the location at around €55 per night room only with free car parking. The rooms are basic, the beds comfortable and the shower is fine. It’s not a hotel to go on holiday but it is fantastic value for its location which is... More

A colleague booked this hotel, during a period when the rest of the city was quite busy. The check-in was fine and the room was clean and tidy. But the hotel is old and needs a bit of attention. We grabbed a quick soup and sandwich for dinner which was nice, even though service was not the best. More

Second trip here, previous one was work related and seemed fairly good, back for a trip of the area and was good again.Location has a very good view over Dublin Bay, though road is very busy outside and wouldn't recommend turning right on the way out if driving a car during the day.Reasonably close to shops and the Dart line...

I stay in the Tara Towers on a regular basis because of it's price and also it's proximity to UCD. Having stayed there 3 times thus far I was basically happy to stay there, my most recent experience however was very unpleasant. The receptionist was rude and incredibly ignorant on my arrival. I was given what must have been the... More
