It's great to see it being used again as it was closed for many years following the economic slump, which was a shame as it should be an asset for a town like Celbridge. Beyond the hotel though, I would however love to see the guys here really try to get more of the local crowd in on the weekends. The food just isn't all that. Celbridge is crying out for a really top notch restaurant to go to - Maynooth has loads - but it seems that the Manor Hotel has unfortunately fallen short of the mark. It'd be great to see them re-look at their menu and do something a little special that would draw the non-residents crowd in and make it a hub in the town.

Really brilliant value at around €40 per person which includes a very substantial three course meal, which you can enjoy while being entertained in the stage which surrounds the tables and seating area. Lovely atmosphere in the Arthur Guinness Room upstairs which has a full bar and very attentive waiting staff. The only bummer on the night we were there, was that the toilets upstairs were out of order and we had to go all the way down stairs when nature called!

Found this wee gem unexpectedly after one of those convoluted internet trawls looking for a decent…read moreroom at a decent rate, right at the last minute! Wasn't too sure of staying in a B&B, (if I'm travelling alone I usually prefer to stay in a hotel) but after a quick glance at the trip advisor reviews on this place I was sold! So glad I booked here. The couple who run the B&B, Bill and Kathleen couldn't have been more hospitable or welcoming, Bill even going so far as to mark the right bus routes and their stops to and from town on my map for me! Helpful for someone who has a sense of direction like a drunk compass! Pots of tea and glorious irish banter were freely offered at any point in the day you happened to be around, which is always gonna get anyone on my good side! The room I stayed in had obviously been freshly cleaned, sparse but functional and the bed was clean & comfy, I wasn't too fussed about anything else! Only small gripe was that if you stay in the single room as I was, you have sole use of the main bathroom sure, but it's along the corridor a bit from your room...which can leave you feeling a bit awkward if you're not a sociable morning type (disclaimer: I am definitely NOT). The other rooms, all doubles, come with their own ensuite bathrooms. Breakfasts were plentiful and damn good. Choices of cereal were offered before the main event...the full Irish. I don't eat cooked breakfasts much, but these really were excellent. Breakfast served at a time of your choosing that fills you to the gills and sorts you out to take on Dublin and all the Guinness and writers geekery she offers? What's not to love! Howth Road is a main road into Dublin city centre, with bus stops right outside the Annally taking you in, and the one directly opposite being your return point. Journey takes about 15-20 minutes either way and the fare was less than €3! As someone who gripes pretty regularly about public transport here, all I can say is, Dunlin buses could chew First up and spit out the bones in terms of the service offered! Next time I'm back in Dublin, I'd definitely stay here, great room rates, great breakfasts and ran by a fantastic couple who go above and beyond for their guests!

The ladies toilets were run down and only two of the three doors actually locked! The room was poorly lit and very stuffy but when we opened the windows because this hotel is central town, it is very noisy. A fellow delegate stayed in the hotel and said it was very noisy until she was moved to a higher room.

Trust me it's not fun to have people think you know nothing about their culture because a big green van that says Paddy Wagon is seen around the city. Anyways, sorry to break your hearts, I've never seen a leprechaun and the idea of a shamrock was created in NYC. Now that I've ruined all your fantastical ideas. Let's get back to Paddy Palace. Friends of mine stayed here recently and they attempted to win me over back on its side. The place was filled with people looking to have a good time and to drink as much as they could whilst here. My friends were amazed at how nice it was and that it still maintained its cheap prices. They also got a free transfer to the airport and it's really close to busaras and Connolly station if you're thinking of going elsewhere in Ireland.

So I rented an apartment from Padday Wagon (tours, pub, hostel, what ever they are all the same…read morecompany) and was ripped off. I was in the apartment for a total of ten hours and was charged for two night per their cancellation policy, THEIR CANCELLATION POLICY! I left the apartment because the place was hell on earth, not becasue I made other plans. Here is the letter I sent to "Tony" at Paddy Wagon detailing my stay and my dissapointment with their services..... While I understand there is a 24 hour cancellation notice, I'd like to point out that cleanliness was not my only issue. The pictures posted to the website did not represent the apartment and had I seen the apartment prior to checking in, I would not have reserved the space in the first place. Secondly, the listing said that there were four beds in the unit, there were in fact a futon, that was broken or so old that no one could sleep on it, a couch that was so stained that we couldn't bring ourselves to sit on it, forget sleeping on it and a roll away bed that was also so stained that the thought of sleeping on it was repulsive. My traveling companion (also a co-worker) and I shared the only sleep worthy bed in the apartment, an awkward situation. Quite frankly, paying for one night is probably too much. The problems do not stop here... We slept in long sleeve shirts and full length pants so not to have to touch the blankets. I kept socks on the entire time so my feet would touch the gross carpets. The afterhours check in procedure was cumbersome, taking another hour to find the apartment. I had to stop by your hostel twice over my vacation. I submitted information in writing to the front desk staff. Two drivers in the lobby promised that they would talk to management immediately and that someone would contact me at our Hotel, that didn't happen. This is now my seventh e-mail. I find it hard to believe that, given this terrible experience, my third night can not be reimbursed as well. That was my e-mail to them and they still refussed to reimburse me for the cost of staying there a second night. So I received a refund for two of the four nights I reserved, I paid 150 euros for this experience and would recommend you stay far away! During my visit's to the hostel to dispute these charges, I noticed that the "visitors" in the lobby looked more like ex cons than young travelers. Just sharing what I observed.

We stayed at this hotel in Dublin for two nights. It is in a very central location, which is its…read moresaving grace. The breakfasts are served formally, in the restaurant, and while that is nice, the food quality is very average. The best part of the food is the buffet bar. Our room was large enough, but oddly shaped so that the space did not work well. It's an old hotel, so expect that if you go. There will be charm, but also inefficiencies that come with age. I would recommend to stay here because of the location.

No air conditioning, which I'm sure wouldn't normally be an issue. We stayed in June and it felt like that had the heater going and the temp was low 70 to high 60s. The room felt like it was 75-80 degrees and there is only a tiny wonder and a desk fan to cool the room. Overall, the room was okay and you can tell it was refurbished... but again for the price, it didn't seem justified. No parking, breakfast is not included and again, still about a 30 min walk to the downtown/ temple bar area.

This was our first time to Dublin. My family and I were going on a mega European trip/Western…read moreMediterranean Cruise. To get the cheapest itinerary it made sense to have a layover in Dublin, even though it was truly never on our must-see list. We had no regrets! Although Dublin is cold/windy/was even hailing during our May 2016 stay here, it was worth a 1 night layover (and a great way to adjust with jetlag before the big trip began). As for the Maldron, it is imperative to take a Taxi if you are traveling with any more than 2-3 people, because it ends up being cheaper than taking the airport bus. I believe it was about 35 Euros for the cab ride each way, a smooth 35 minute ride. The hotel is a bit aged but had recently been gutted. It is clean, in a safe, quiet (Extremely quiet) neighborhood. If you enjoy walking, it is an easy 15-25 minute stroll to the main downtown area and restaurants. There is also a tram within 5 minutes of the hotel. We found that late at night it was difficult to get a bite to eat near the hotel and thus had to walk into the main strip/downtown area. The hotel staff are kind and quick to respond to any requests and issues. One note is that when going to the airport, if you want to save 2 Euros hail a cab yourself, because any time you have to call ahead of time for a cab the 2 Euros fee is charged!

This was my first time staying in a hostel. Since it was so cheap and close to all of the things we…read morewanted to do, my friend and I decided to give it a chance. Isaacs Hostel is basically a money trap, they charge you for everything from towels to locker space to keep your things...but all in all it was a great experience. Despite the Finnish man who farted in his sleep all night in our 16 bed space to the having to lug your things up three flights of stairs due to the lack of elevator, I had a great time. I definitely wouldn't do it again since I'm used to hotels but the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the people that come to stay here are a riot, full of fun and laughs. It really felt like an adult sleepover that never ended. The beds were really comfy, mirror space was limited, and the wifi definitely cut off a lot and didn't reach the basement or the upper levels but for my first time in a hostel, I felt safe and secure. Btw, the bar crawl really isn't that great. They will advertise all of the amazing benefits of buying it for 12 euros, but when you go out, you still have to pay for all of your drinks and MAYBE you'll get a freebie or two.

It's super convenient to Busaras and Connolly Station and thus it's perfect if you're looking to go somewhere early the next morning. The only thing I didn't like is that it's down a dark alleyway. I'm sure it's perfectly safe and I've never ever once heard a bad thing about it. It just gave me an uneasy feeling walking down it in the darkness. It's also a bit of a walk away from city centre after a night out. A walk that is a bit sketchy at parts. So really I'd just recommend to get a taxi back!

Bus stop to the airport is right across the street from the hotel entrance. We went to the Courtyard Restaurant & Bar all three days after exploring in Dublin. We ate dinner there twice - very good - haddock, chicken burger, BBQ fish cakes. Must point out the excellent service we received from the bartenders Dani, Veronica, & Jack C. Professional, courteous, & attentive. They should be commended by the hotel management. Front desk staff was also very helpful. Thank you all. Garden room was excellent. We had one breakfast at the Brunswick Bar (21 euro pp). The breakfast buffet has everything you could ask for from the legendary "Full Irish" w/ eggs cooked to order, fruit, cereals, breads, juices, coffee & tea (brought to your table). A must try at least once. We stay here after the quadrennial Farrell Clan Rally in Longford to relax, sightsee, & easy access to the airport for our return flight. Again thank you to all for making our stays here memorable. Nick Parisi & Liz Farrell, Albany, NY, USA

It is a lovely hotel and nicely appointed. Most of the staff working at the hotel were helpful and pleasant. However some of front desk staff were not the most well trained compared to other staff we have encountered at hotels we have stayed at in Europe. It was an expensive room and it was quite small. Did have a nice bathroom. It was hard to move around in there along with my partner. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had high quality food. There were plenty of choices of yummy things to eat including some vegatarian options. The best part was how quiet our room was which means they had great sound proofing. Over all a good stay. We found Dublin was busy and like a typical big city and the hotel was easy access to all of that. There we're homeless people haging out right next door to the hotel just something to be aware of.
