Hotel is little dated but rooms have been recently refurbished so was very happy with the hotel overall and its so close to the city I was delighted no need for taxis...and breakfast was lovely so no complaints perfect for a weekend shopping. More

I stayed here early in the summmer for a mid week break with my partner as we were offered a really reasonable rate. We stayed for 2 nights. This is a great location for anyone who wants to be near the shops, its less than 5 min walk to main shops so I was delighted. I found the hotel to... More

I stayed at the Royal Dublin for two nights while on business in the city. The hotel itself looks poor from the outside, and inside is not much better. The room at first appeared fine, however it wasn't particularly comfortable, and was a little on the cramped side. The bathroom was fine; nothing more, nothing less. I did notice that... More

Stayed there for 3 nights in May-June 08' for the first time I was in Dublin. Chose to stay at a different hotel on my second visit to the city.

I have never in my life came across such IGNORANT STAFF. They must really hate their job. The bar staff were in particular the rudest. I met alot of people in the bar that night who complained about them. We left the bar early as we were nearly afraid to ask for another drink! The staff who manned the carvery... More
