We had the misfortune of staying here, but never again. The faulty fire alarm went off at 3am and didn't stop for twenty minutes. From that time until we checked out at midday, there was NO RUNNING WATER. Only the toilet worked. No other water. When we complained on checking out, we were told abruptly what it wasn't the hotel's... more

This hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Dublin within easy walking distance to great shopping and dining, not to mention several of Ireland's top pubs (The Long Hall, The Stag's Head, etc.). The rooms were comfortable, the staff very accomodating and the stay was overall quite nice. It is not 5 star, maybe more like 3-4. If possible,... more

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! It was withing walking distance of everything! The weekend nights were noisy on the street but we did not find that it kept us awake. We enjoyed the library bar and used the grocery store across the street every day! The staff was pleasant and the rooms were spacious and clean. We... more

This was a great place to stay for our last night in Ireland. The Central Hotel is close to the Temple Bar area and several great restaurants. There is also a bus stop less than a block away that took us directly to the airport for our early morning flight. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel has a... more

We chose Central Hotel because of its location. We spent 2 weeks in Germany and Czech Republic but wanted decided to take a 24 hour detour to Dublin. The location was key so we chose the hotel. We booked, with a deposit to guarantee our room. Upon arrival, we were told they were overbooked, could not refund the deposit and... more

This hotel is in a great spot; close to shopping, bars, restaurants. Our two night stay was very good value. The room was very clean. We were on 4th floor. Didn't hear any street noise but we were out late ourselves. Only problem was the heat in the room. It was SO hot we left quickly after getting ready as... more

A good hotel to stay at when visiting Dublin. Very helpful staff and the rooms were modern bright and clean, eventhough a little bit on the small side. Great buffet breakfast. The hotel is situated just off Great Georges Street which is full of good restaurants and very near to the main shopping area of Dublin. It is also near... more

Having read the reviews regarding the noise it was with some trepidation that we arrived just before Christmas. The rooms were warm and clean with the staff and service provided fine. The location is outstanding and together with the breakfast this place makes for great value. There is some noise from the street and deliveries early in the morning but... more

This is an older hotel near Trinity College in downtown Dublin. The staff was efficient but distant. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was good. The real drawback was the party noise that began about 1:30 in the morning and continued until after 4:00 AM. We never determined the source, and it may have come from a neighboring... more
