I can see why some people find this hotel weird, the layout is bizarre and the the numbers in the lift don't corrispond with the lift display nor the floor number. For example we were told to press 3 but where staying on the 2nd floor, the lift display said something different. The room was ok, the decor tired and... more

I already had this hotel booked when I read the bad reviews so was quite concerned about what could be waiting for me and my husband. We arrived and checked in with the friendly reception staff. It was right opposite Dublin Connolly Train Station and was only a few minutes walk from O'Connoll Street. Couldn't have been handier. We had... more

I have to agree with all the negative comments about this hotel. Firstly - yes it is in a good location close to city and once you know about the noise of the trains you can put up with them but it is certainly not in the safest part of town . My complaint is the standard of the hotel.... more

OK location - about 5 mins walk from O'Connell St. Staff really friendly and helpful but that's where the positives end - our room was tiny, excrutiatingly hot (even with the window open), and our "view" was directly overlooking the Dart train-line - with a train rumbling past approx. every 3 minutes during the day. The bar downstairs was really... more

I had the misfortunate to stay in this hotel recently i got the new part of the building and was surprised by the rooms but un closer inspection i realised that there were wires hanging out of the walls and that half the room wasnt finished , the lift did not go to the correct floor because the lift wasnt... more

The North Star should be 4 star in my opinion. I stay 2 nights recently and found the staff exceptional, the room superb and food blinding value. The location is brilliant and having stayed in Dublin many times I can tell you from real experience that location is everything in Dublin, if you don't want to spend all day/night on... more
