This is a nice hotel, as long as you request a room in the remodeled section. I originally was given a room (301) A skeleton key opened to door. to a small scary room. No tub, only a shower less inviting than some of the hostels I have stayed in.. The staff was very helpful when I requested a room... more

My wife and I have had the pleasure of staying 3 times in "The Royal Dublin" hotel situated on O,Connell St. On our first visit to Dublin in 2004 we stayed in "The Gresham" just over the street from the Royal Dublin. So on our next visit we tried to book into the Gresham again but they were fully booked,... more

I've stayed in this hotel 3 times while in Dublin, i like it mostly because of its location. The first 2 times I stayed here, i hated the rooms I was given, they were cold and out-dated looking, smelled of smoke and had what looked like spots of mold. On a more recent trip I got a room at the... more

We recently stayed overnight at this hotel and having seen photos on web pages were looking forward to staying but were greatly disappointed. The reception area looks elegant but the reception staff were extremely frosty and unhelpful. On getting out of the lift there was a horrible musty smell. Our room was awful, it was dated and tatty, it smelt... more

having only a two night stay and a surprise one for a son and fiancee plus myself and wife I trawled the web, discounting hotels beyond a couple of minutes walk from O"Connell St and any that promised a built in night club! Reviews counted, price important but not a deal breaker..anyway a great reduced rate via a main web... more

Even though the rooms were 'tired' & dated at first they were always clean & comfortable,the last few stays have seen us in nice 'sparkling' new rooms,very smart. The... more

Only stayed for one night, buit would recommend the hotel, not a bad location and very good value for money, especially for Dublin. Was pleasently surprised by the breakfast, having stayed at a number of hotels in the Dublin area on previous visits this was the first time we were given what we were promised an actual Irish breakfast, including... more

On arrival the hotel appears quite grand, the reception area is clean and large. We couldn't check in until 1400 so we left our bags with reception. When we returned we collected our backs and checked into rooms 104 and 106. This is when it starte to go a bit wrong! The carpet on the stairs is old and worn... more

Spent 3 nights at this hotel in mid June. We picked this hotel because the airlink from the airport stops right outside the hotel and if you're early for check-in they allow you to leave your bags behind reception. This applies to checking out also if you have a later flight which allows you more time to sightsee without carting... more
