Nice hotel in a good location, within walking distance to a lot of attractions and restaurants. Rooms were clean and are decently sized with big windows. Standards room amenities and breakfast upstairs on the7th floor. Breakfast spread was good with bread, cereals, pastries and hot selections of eggs, hashbrowns, pudding and bacon. Some fruit and yogurt and smaller variety of cold cuts and cheese. Only odd thing was we couldn't get a table for 4 in the breakfast room (any morning, not due to crowd sizes) so we had to sit out in the bar area every morning. read more

We had a very nice time here. The aloft we stayed at years ago had once of the most annoying features we've ever experienced - a single light switch that turned on the bathroom and room light. We don't stay there anymore. Here, they didn't make the same mistake! The room was well equipped. The beds were large and we had some good room to spread out (we have a total of 5). The bathroom wasn't huge, but worked fine. No shower door, but a nice shower head so it was a net zero. The gym was small but nice. Couple treadmills, an elliptical machine, some free weights and some stretching mats. Access was from outside the building with a key card. On the 7th floor, there's a bar overlooking the city and the seating area for breakfast. The breakfast wasn't included in the base price, but was very good when we tried it. All in all, a really solid spot on the east side of downtown. We'd go here again. read more

The hotel has all the amenities needed when traveling. The room was incredibly comfortable and designed for the city. The staff makes this hotel five star plus. They are so incredibly accommodating and friendly and helpful. From the pub located in the lobby with tasty food and great drinks, to the rooftop bar with amazing views and great decor. I would recommend a quick walk across the street to the Teeling distillery. I will definitely be back. read more

Hey everybody it's a Marriott property that doesn't cost your end-of-rainbow bag of gold! You'll be close to the action yet tucked away from the madness here at Aloft. From a local, this was sketchyville back in the day, but real estate € eventually wins, so now you have a convenient hotel an easy walk from Temple and other attractions. The top-floor bar is nice for a drink/snack, and the rooms are smaller but decently-sized. Besides you'll want to head out for a night on the town anyway. Several restaurants are down the street if you want to venture out nearby, and the hotel also has nice meeting spaces if you're looking for that. Staff were helpful and service was efficient. I'll return next time I'm able. read more

Nice hotel, but they did not meet the requirement of having my room ready by the check in time, which is 3pm. They kept telling me they will notify me when my room is ready. Unfortunately, they did not keep to their word. I had to drag my heavy luggage to the check in desk many times to get a status update. When my room was ready, they did nOT notify me but had the keys just sitting their next to their computer. To remedy the late check in issue, they did offer me a free drink at their bar on the 7th floor. I really did like their 7th floor - full bar, great views, pool table and lots of seating. The bartender was so kind by making me a custom drink that is my favorite. I gave her the recipe and voila - it was delicious! That is also where breakfast was served. The breakfast buffet was small but had good options so I'm not complaining. I really liked their mini smoothies. All in all, I don't think I would stay here again. The location is not the greatest but not the worst. read more

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and quiet even though it was on the first floor. The fitness center is well maintained and equipped with everything you would need to exercise. The rooftop lounge is beautiful with couches and private seating areas. The bar has a nice variety of cocktails . The hotel is a bit of a walk to the city center but it's not bad. It seems less hectic and crowded around the area. read more

A very new, modern Aloft in the Liberties area of Dublin. We had two different rooms during two brief stays at this Aloft in Dublin. Arrival experience: Arrived by cab. The porter and luggage storage is on the ground floor. Check-in is on the 7th floor. Average check-in experience. Acknoweldged Marriott status. Room 618: Not a huge room but efficient layout and overall nice. King bed, TV, Nespresso coffee maker and all the normal items for a room. Small but well-lit bathroom with a single sink vanity. Room 114: The only suite in the Aloft. Nice size with sitting area with large desk, king bed, and plenty of space. Nespresso coffee maker and all the normal items for a room. Bathroom was a very odd configuration with insufficient lighting in the shower. Also the toilet flushing mechanism broke twice during our two nights in this suite (poor design). One word of caution about room 114- it's just above street level and traffic noise comes through the windows with ease. Staff: overall nice staff Restaurant: On 7th floor, breakfast only dining. Decent breakfast was included with our room based on Marriott status. There's also a full service restaurant attached to the hotel. Bar: There's a bar on the 7th floor. Didn't try it. Value: hotels in Dublin are not inexpensive. On a global scale, it's more expensive than average, but for Dublin the Aloft was the best value we could locate. Misc: (1) Good proximity to all the major tourist attractions in Dublin. Easy walk to the Chester Beatty Museum, St. Patrick's Cathedral, etc. (2) About a 35 minute drive from the airport. (3) Very close to two distilleries- Teeling and Dublin Liberties Distillery. read more

The location is better than we expected. The Guiness Storehouse is a short walk away and the Teeling Distillery is on the way. St. Patrick's Cathedral, Temple Bar and the University are also not too far away. We walked everywhere, except for one night when we were dressed for dinner and took an uber. It was easy and fairly cheap to get an Uber from the airport to the hotel and back again. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. I have no complaints. The rooftop bar has a great view of the city and serves a great Guinness. We also at at the gastropub and I recommend the Fish and Chips. The berry crumble dessert was also very delicious. read more

The Aloft is located in the Liberties part of Dublin. It is an area that is being refreshed in my opinion. It is located near two distilleries: Dubliner and Teeling. Dubliner is literally across the street. Teeling is up the street and around the corner. Spar is a local convenience store and that is close by too. We walked all over Dubliner from this hotel. Checkin is the 7th floor. Reservation 1: I booked the Urban Aloft Suite Arrival: We booked this hotel twice. We had a stop in Dublin and then had to go to another hotel in the country and we were returning before leaving Ireland. Our flights were delayed and then canceled, we were able to cancel our reservation for the Aloft, but Aloft said sorry, we have to charge you. Which sucked but we get it. Our flight arrived to Dublin at 11am and we coordinated with the hotel to come since we paid for the room to freshen up. They gave us the room until 2pm. We got showered and jumped into a taxi to our next destination. We were thankful to get the room for 2 hours to shower, but 2 hours at the price of 300 Euros was not the best deal. We are Marriott Lifetime Platinum members so I think that is why they allowed us the room for 4 hours. Room: On the 6th floor with a nice view of a rooftop garden. The room had a nice king size bed which did not use. We jumped into the shower and go freshed up and had some coffee with the lovely Nespresso machine in the room. NOTE: It was not until we returned for the 2nd reservation that I realized the room we were given for 2 hours was not the Urban Aloft Suite. Reservation 2: I booked the Urban Aloft Suite Arrival: we arrived by taxi and the employees that were there on our 2 hour hotel visit were working again. They remembered us and welcomed us back. the tall black gentlemen on the first floor is super sweet and friendly and I forgot his name. He is the only employee that stands out at this hotel. The Urban Aloft Suite is the only one at the hotel so we arrived and were told we had to wait. It would be about 10 minutes and we asked if we could leave our luggage on the 7th floor desk area so that we could run down to the Dubliner distillery across the street. They said no problem. We went to the distillery and it was no more than 15 minutes and we were back, went to the 7th floor to get our room key and were told our luggage was sent to the lobby. We had just come from there! We could have grabbed our luggage. Room: What a nice big room but it is located on the first room. There is no staircase to get 1 flight of stairs, so you have to take the elevator. I finally found the stairs, but the door is Emergency exit and alarm will sound, so we had to walk back up and use the elevator. The room has a lovely sitting area with nice big couch. Nice desk area. Lots of windows, but everyone can see into your room from the street. There is no privacy during the day, so you have two sets of blinds, one for privacy and one for bright early morning sun rising. The King size bed is not very comfortable, but it is big. Plus being on the 1st floor there is so much road noise and sleep quality is not the best. I prefer the smaller suite on the 6th floor because I think that would be better sleep quality. There is a nice Nespresso coffee machine. There is a fridge but you cannot use it. It will charge you if you pick up an item. There is an inroom safe, read the instructions because it does come locked and you have to read the instructions to use it. Bathroom: Nice long walkway to the toilet and shower, but it is very dark. The shower is super dark, but it is nice and spacious. The toilet has its own room, but twice the toilet flushing unit fell into the wall and we had to get maintenance to come and fix it. The sink is nice, but shallow so you end up spraying water everywhere and the lighting is very bad so hard to apply makeup. I recommend if you need light to go into the bedroom and open the blinds. Each room comes with a bucket for ice, but there is no ice to be found anywhere in the building. I called and you have to go to the bar on the 7th floor and wait in line with everyone ordering drinks. Customer Service: needs improvement. There is a lack of communication to customers. You have to ask alot of questions from the 7th floor about the hotel to get information. When we called about our safe, they were not the friendliest and told us.. you did not read the instructions. The instructions were there, but you cannot read when there is bad lighting in the room and the font is so tiny. Breakfast: we are Marriott Lifetime Platinum so we opted for the free breakfast instead of points. The coffee is good. There was hot Irish breakfast. The presentation is very cute. The hot items weren't very hot. The fruit was not very good mostly canned fruit. The pastries were under baked. The Irish yogurt was delicious and my treat. read more

We had an incredible 4-night stay at this hotel. As others have stated, the check-in desk is on the 7th floor, which is unique. There was always a person at the hotel concierge desk on the ground floor to point new guests in the right direction. Once you arrive on the 7th floor, the spectacular view makes it clear why they chose to have check in, breakfast area, and the bar on that floor. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was cozy but had all we needed. My only minor complaints would be lacking light in the room and our original room (before immediately asking for the other side of building) had windows that were directly facing and a mere few feet away from student housing windows. It was incredibly awkward and a tad claustrophobic. We were immediately and patiently given another room across the hall. Not sure what some of the reviews are talking about with the "off the beaten path" location. We found the location to be central and walkable to many tourist attractions (Dublin Castle, Christ Church, Teeling Distillery, Vicar Street for shows, etc) and is super close to public transit, which is cheap and easily accessible. A few tips: -Always have your room key handy, as you need to tap it on the elevator scanner to get to any floors other than 1 or 7. -The ground floor pub has won local awards -Ice needs to be requested at the check-in desk -Do not remove/move items in the mini-bar fridge (even if not consuming them), as it triggers a charge on your bill -Spar corner store is a short walk down the road and you can easily/cheaply buy public transit passes at the counter. -Request a room facing the city, not student housing. read more

This hotel is a new favorite. Sleek and modern, but also exuding a comfortable warmth. I also enjoyed the music selection. The staff is exceptionally friendly, efficient and helpful. A huge "thumbs up" to the breakfast room staff, who coordinate expert service, delicious food and the traffic flow for seating with incredible ease. The front desk and bar staff are also especially worthy of commendation. The room features comfortable bedding and a large bathroom. My only suggestions would be for better storage. The closet is very limited as is shelf space, which makes it difficult if you are on a long trip with a good amount of luggage. The TV reception would freeze at times too. Other than that, Aloft Dublin City is one of the best hotel choices in my opinion. read more

Aloft Dublin City - The bar and lounge. There's a fireplace and seating wraps around to the right, including rooftop outdoor seating. - Hotels Near Me - Dublin 8, D

Compared to other hotels in the City Center, Dublin Aloft is a great choice if you're willing to walk a bit away from the action. Pro: - The most affordable choice for Bonvoy seekers - 7th floor is beautiful, with an outdoor deck, 360 views of the city (though Dublin doesn't really have a skyline) - Wonderful bartenders and general staff - Clean, modern rooms - Attached hotel restaurant downstairs is awesome Cons: - It is a 20 minute walk from Grafton Street and all the action. - Some less than ideal views of construction. If you get a south side, you get a view directly into student housing. - East side views of an empty parking lot with trash The views and location aren't something this hotel can really control, so it is unfair to discount Aloft too much. Other notes: - I've spent about 2 months in Dublin this year, and stayed in hotels the entire time. - Aloft and AC are my go to Marriott Brands. This Aloft ranks very high compared to the other locations. read more

We recently stayed here and enjoyed our stay. Located a short walk from the city centre of Dublin this is a modern hotel with bright colors, modern rooms and good service. The room was nice and had a fabulous bed. Nice towels and bathrobes were provided and the shower was also nice. The room had a small mini bar and supplies up make coffee and tea. Unfortunately they were inconsistent with replenishing supplies and we ended up with no milk and bottled water. Continental breakfast here is nice but the cooked Irish breakfast was chewy and tough as it had been precooked and sitting under heat lamps for too long. Why they cannot cook to order us beyond me. Staff are very friendly and overall we enjoyed our stay here. Would come back again. read more

Aloft Dublin City - The view from our room at the Aloft Dublin. - Hotels Near Me - Dublin 8, D

So nice we stayed twice, Arrived in Dublin, checked in for a day before our drive around Ireland, came back a week later and stayed again. On the ground floor you are greeted by the customer service/concierge team, they are all fantastic especially Amadou, they know the area, get to know you and call for cabs, watch your bags, valet you car and much more, they are the beating heart of this hotel and it shows in their dedication to the guests. Check in is on the 7th floor, where you will also find the bar restaurant, a buffet breakfast is available each morning and using the term buffet very loosely because although you pick your own food most plates are prepared in advance and you pick the one or more that you want, and while they are small plates they are packed full of food. Buffet is €15 and while it will not rival a full Vegas buffet it was the best buffet we had our two weeks in Ireland. Well worth the money if you are hungry, Valet parking is offsite €25 per night and one of the Guys downstairs has to run down the block 5 minutes away to get it for you, show them a little love, contrary to rumors people in Ireland will gladly accept a gratuity. Desk staff on the 7th floor is friendly and efficient, Room was very nice, clean and comfortable, housekeeping cleans the room every day, they work on the rooms they need for the night first and if they are busy it may be later in the afternoon before hey get to rooms that are staying more than one night. Price is very reasonable, within walking distance of many vital attractions, St Patrick Cathedral and Christchurch Cathedral are within 5 and 10 minutes walk of the hotel, restaurants and shopping about the same. Close to the Teeling Whiskey Factory and there is restaurant/pub connected though the lobby. Stay here and you will be happy! read more

Hotel is clean and comfortable; however, do not get a room on the side located across from the University Student apartments. We had room 508 which looked directly into the student rooms. We could see them and I suspect they could see us. For that reason, we had to keep our blinds closed when we were in the room - - they don't seem to care. The hotel is also off the beaten path, which meant a 20+ minute walk to get to most anywhere, or a taxi at night. read more

Maybe you should let patrons know at check-in to expect construction noise on their floor starting at the crack of dawn. Better yet, don't put flight crews who are checking in at midnight in rooms right next to construction. Extremely frustrating to be dealing with jet lag and get woken up by the sounds of drills and hammers an hour after you finally fall asleep. read more

I think the previous reviews that were less than 4 Stars were definitely a bit harsh. This should be a solid 4.5-4.75. There are always a few bugs to be worked out when a business is new. I believe they have sorted the majority of them. We're traveling so I can't speak to the parking but I can speak to the hotel proper. It is a tad confusing when you arrive. When you walk into the entrance you must take the elevator to the top floor (7) for the reception. Not sure why this is, but after the initial confusion (there are no easily visible signs explaining) but once you 'arrive' the folks are helpful, friendly and efficient considering how many of us bombarded them at the same time after disembarking from our cruise. We had an upgraded room so it may speak to the size difference in the room reviews but if that's an option for you and your American or not used to the smaller spaces, DO IT! Loads of space in the bedroom - see photos. Large spacious showers complete with all toiletries that are not only eco friendly but also smell and feel fabulous on your skin. The reception and adjacent bar and breakfast are really nice and there is a €2 discount if you book for breakfast ahead of time. If not it is a whopping €15 for a continental, not a full Irish. Anyway, lovely new, fresh hotel and you should book with no qualms. read more

The reason for the downgrade - the parking situation - I'll get to that later, before I'll state all the pros! The room was really nice and clean! I liked the modern feel! It was weird to have your window facing a college dorm room and they didn't care if they were hooking up with their windows open! The food was REALLY good! We ate twice at the restaurant and everything we ate was really good. The breakfast bar was nice in the AM - but they need a better setup for their host - I felt bad that she was having to hunt people down to make sure they paid! The Deputy GM in the morning was so helpful and kind - I can't remember his name - but he helped us print out bus tickets, thank you! Both security guards that were there during our stay were so kind! The hotel isn't by a ton to do, but really close to a bus stop. Ok the parking ... 35 euro a night for a lot that is a 15 minute walk away, come on. When we looked online it said there was a parking garage off site - didn't realize it'd be so far off site and be paying that much for a public garage! Made for a very early morning for my husband when he had to go get the car before our 7am ferry departure! read more

The hotel was nice and well priced. The room was nice and very quiet and dark even though the sunset super late. The breakfast looked good, and the service was prompt and friendly. Lighting was a bit dark in the room. Only point of feedback is parking is over 10 minutes away walking, very inconvenient for suitcases. They have no shuttle or anything to take you there which would be my suggestion if parking is to be so far away. read more

The staff couldn't be friendlier or more accommodating. We encountered a couple of issues that could have been attributed to "weary traveler syndrome" and only had the most helpful, and above expectations frankly, individuals step in and help us.

I booked a room with TWO queen beds. When we arrived, the only room available was a room with ONE queen bed. I had called the evening before arrival because I knew we would arrive very late, after a transatlantic flight. The reservation representative acknowledged this late arrival note was in our reservation and she did not know why our room was not held for us. The available room, in addition to having only one bed, also had a bathroom door that would not close. In addition, the shower had a chair in it, preventing showering while standing and the sink was extraordinarily small. In the late morning, a room with the two queen beds was made available to us. This room was clean, HOWEVER, this bathroom door also doesn't close. See the video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VgoqwZdHfX1BZAmQ6 We had to shove a towel in to the door to keep it closed. Since the room provided to us on our first night was insufficient and defective, I requested a discount for this first night. This was denied. The manager never contacted me. read more

I am a big fan of Alofts in general since it's a great place to stay when you're traveling for business also being a longtime SPG and now Mariott Bonvoy member. This Aloft was recently opened and although I read that it is a little bit away from the Dublin center I decided to take a chance. Also the fact that I paid for 2 nights on points didn't hurt either. I found the hotel to be pretty nice and typical of all of the Alofts I have stayed at. The checkin desk is on the top floor which is a little strange though. The bar area is pretty nice and seemed to be always packed (when in Dublin). The room was the same layout as a typical Aloft - modern, efficient, and a lot of self-serve. They do have a breakfast buffet which I thought was pretty good although a tad pricey. Really although this hotel is not directly in the city center it is only about a 10 minute walk away. On a nice day it's actually a pretty pleasant walk as you get to see a lot of sights along the way like St. Patricks, and Christchurch cathedral. We were also able to walk to our Guinness tour at St. James gate pretty easily. The Teeling Whisky distillery is also right next door in case you are interested in a tasting. When going out at night we just took a very short uber/cab which was pretty inexpensive. Overall, I would definitely recommend this Aloft location as it is pretty much consistent with other locations I have stayed with before. read more

Aloft Our stay at the Aloft hotel in Dublin was nothing short of fantastic. Everyone was attentive to our needs. We were always greeted with a smile and thoughtfulness. We were treated as if we were family. Our infant came down with fever and everyone was helpful and sympathetic; continuing to ask how the little one was doing. The bar was excellent and the service top notch. The room cleaning staff was attentive and did a great job every time cleaning the rooms. The pandemic temporarily changed hotels; yet, Aloft Dublin continued to value customer service aa everyone was great. There was miscommunication with room rates but that was quickly and consistently handled with professionalism. Charlie was a true professional at every turn with his colleagues Ian and Paul. Michael was helpful and offered assistance for our infant at various times. Ahmadou, Victoria and countless others Were great. I believe that I am writing all of this because everyone at Aloft Dublin had humanity. It was nice to experience humanity on our vacation! Thank you! - John & Audrey (Platinum Elite) read more

This hotel was very nice, clean, great view from the bar and staff was super attentive and helpful during our stay. Not only was our stay there very pleasant, but we had such a great experience after we left. I had the misfortune of leaving a blanket my boyfriend gave me before our Europe trip, and it with me during the entire trip until I forgot the blanket at Aloft. My now fiancé, called the hotel to see if they could help us get the blanket back since it had a big sentimental value and he was told there was nothing they could do to help us. That was until he aaa able to speak to ALEKSANDRA MISIAK and she was extremely helpful and not only that but she mailed the blanket all the way to Houston, Texas for us. We are very thankful and happy and so grateful for her help. She went above and beyond for us and extremely grateful Thank you!! read more

I've never experienced this: the power goes out in your room based on motion. So when you go to sleep, all your phone/iPad chargers go dead, the AC/heat goes dead, unless you get up and move. Then there was the morning! Stand in the shower for 30 seconds and the lights go out. Stand in front of the mirror to prep...the lights go out. You have to run out of the bathroom and wave you arms to make the lights go back on. Wtf. I can't believe this place even stays open. read more

We had a great experience with the hotel! Everything was clean and worked great. The room was spacious and had lots of power outlets, shelves, etc. We could see St. Patrick's Cathedral from the floor to ceiling window in the room. When we did need help the staff was great in assisting and super friendly. The hotel is in a more residential area of Dublin but that was kind of nice too, to see the less touristy area. Dublin is a very walkable city so we just strolled to St. Stephens Green and over to the Temple Bar area. Got to see some lovely sights on the way! read more

Aloft is a fun atmosphere that's geared more toward younger travelers (not a complaint just letting you know that). Room is very, very small. I had to stack the chair in the corner so I had a place to put our suitcase. Yes, there was no room to place a single suitcase. The view was not a good one at all. They do not have proper curtains in the room. It's more draw down blinds that are white. The sun comes blasting through to give you a warm, unwelcome wake up call at 5:00am. There is a desk. However, the 40" TV is sitting on it. So, if you need to do any work or set anything down, you're using the floor. No parking for those with cars. The hotel bar had some amazing food. This is a reason it was given more stars than I would have originally given it. The Bahn Mi had so much flavor. Buffalo wings were a different take (Asian fusion) and they were very good. Mac n cheese and chicken Caesar salad were also good. The spicy chicken soup was very bland. But the rest of the food covered up for the soup. The hotel staff is very young. They seem lost in the clouds and not very eager to help. Again, if it weren't for the food, and good selection of drinks, this would be lower. read more

To start, the concierge staff is awesome, friendly and efficient. This does not reflect on them. 1. Unfriendly staff at the front desk, bar and at breakfast. 2. The upstairs restroom was always out of toilet paper 3. AC in the room did not work, bathroom door would not stay shut. 4. Carpet on the 5th floor was buckled creating a trip hazard 5. Guest laundry was not working at a new hotel. 6. Breakfast was not good, selection minimal, not what you expect from a Marriott. Would never stay there again read more

Mixed. This hotel is way off the main road. We had a hard time finding it, as the direction we were given by the bus driver was to just walk up from Christchurch Cathedral. The hotel sign was not visible from the main road. The residential streets that we had to walk through were usually littered with dog 'waste' and garbage, especially at the end of the day. When I made my booking, it was clear that there would be 3 of us. However, we were only given 2 sets of towels, and this would happen every time they would clean the room. On two occasions, I had to leave notes to housekeeping to give us water and lotion, and even had to tape the note by the bathroom mirror as there were days when they would miss my notes. There was not enough hooks to hang our towels, which always ended up getting changed every day. And I do not understand why they would only give 2 breakfast vouchers per room, when I booked for 3 people. Some good points: they upgraded us to a bigger room, which had ample space. The front desk staff was nice. And we always had a good time unwinding and making new friends at the WXYZ bar at the end of our days during our stay. read more

This is a fairly new hotel, as it just opened up this month so it's definitely got a more modern feel of a hotel..We stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms are a tad small but were enough (however bedding was very rough! Probably the roughest I've ever had in any hotel). Their room service menu and the menu upstairs for food, are the same. There isn't much variety at all HOWEVER, they did get many points for having 2 vegan menu items, which were REALLY good. The staff is very kind overall and did their best to make sure we were best accommodated. When we first got there, with tons of luggage, we had to take it all up without a bellhop. So that part was a bit off, and I feel like they should perhaps invest in having a bellhop to help with luggage. Other than that, not a bad hotel. It was in a quiet part of town too, so that's always nice when you want a change. read more
