Stayed in January with a friend on a budget trip to Dublin. Nice staff: everyone at the reception was kind and helpful. Quite good size room and overall clean, even if you can see it's not a new hotel. They gave us a room over the street so a bit noisy (but not a big deal for us). Quite near... More

Had a function on in the Hilton which is only a block away. Stayed in the Portobello. Excellent value. Room very clean. Had all the necessities even a hair dryer. Tea/Coffee facility. Needed extra milk following morning and very helpful foreign lady kindly gave me what I needed. Lovely location overlooking the canal. Very quiet. More

We booked two rooms back in April for 5 nights. I requested two rooms that faced the canal. Valentino Popa confirmed that we would have two canal facing rooms via email. When we arrived, we were prepared for the parking situation. We found street parking right in front of the property. Upon check in, we were given two rooms on... More

Portobello hotel is o.k. when you are staying in Dublin and ýou don't want to spend too much money on accommodation. The ensuite room was all right. Friendly staff. Breakfast was reasonable. Parking at the hotel is a problem, paid parking + limited to three hours, so you have to ask the receptionist to fill the meter when you are... More

The Portobello is located close to the Charlemont Luas stop along the Grand Canal. They have a secure door that you talk to reception to gain entry. The guy on reception is on the ball, he had the door buzzed as we got out of the taxi at 3.30am in the morning! We were checked in efficiently and got a... More

The hotel has quite a good location and good value for money. We had a big twin room, with space for much more luggage/stuff than we had, it was a decent one, you could see it's not new but it was clean and contained everything you need (apart from shampoo maybe). Housekeeping was good. We could see the canal from... More

We had flights cancelled after checking -in, due to the Volcanic Ash situation. We phoned Valentino at The Portobello immediately to advise that we could not make it over until a few weeks later but would book our family for 2 nights instead of 1(2rooms). He just abruptly said 'no way,.... I am keeping your money paid in full for... More
