So the staff set us up with a couple of beers to relax with while they did finishing touches on our room. The beer was nice and cold and bar tender was very friendly. The room was spotless and housekeeping did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. The security at this hotel is tight which made it a safe place to stay. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the temple bar area and even the zoo. Make sure you get your discount for parking as it makes a huge difference in the cost to park a car. My only complaint is the beds here are extremely firm. I have a bad back so it tore me up. Despite the bed I will return due to the location and staff here.

I recently went on vacation and spent two nights in Dublin. I selected this hotel due to its…read moreproximity and because of the fact that they offered free breakfast. This hotel is centrally located in the city centre, making it rather easy to visit sites around town and even more convenient to get here by bus from the airport. We were happy with the room as it was good enough for two people. It seemed rather new, so no complaints there. The breakfast was okay. I loved the coffee machine they had, but the sausage and eggs were not for me. I wish we had time to visit the bar next door (called Murray's I think), but we were too tired still adjusting to the time difference. Overall, a decent hotel to stay in the city centre of Dublin.

When at the hotel and you decide to have breakfast at the hotel- request your breakfast voucher at the front desk, day to day ( the day before). I was informed I would have a minimal credit at check out, minimal is great so as not to owe the hotel. But, there has not been any credit's issued, nor does anyone respond to my inquiries to make sure all was good. Most hotels provide you with a billing document at check out, for review. I was waiting for such but none provided.

For the price, my hotel room smelled awful and it was super noisy from the HVAC outside. I would take the noise of Temple Bar over that. I wasn't really impressed with the decor.

We arrived from an overnight flight at roughly 9:30 a.m. and they were still prepping rooms but they stored our luggage and recommended a location to grab something to eat which was very good. Upon returning about 45 minutes later our room was ready and we found the room to be meticulous with a very comfy king bed, mini fridge, tv, and ample size bathroom. I saw a few other reviews that stated the bathroom doors would not stay open but I learned that is by design and we just asked for an extra towel that we used to prop the door open when needed. It serves to point out that the entire hotel is under a complete remodel so many of the rooms and features of the hotel are shinny new. They do offer breakfast in the morning and for the evening they do have a restaurant and bar. Just walk out the front door if you want a livelier crowd and more restaurant options The location of the hotel is prime as it offers proximity the River Liffey, plenty of shops, pubs, and attractions. We walked to the Jameson (25 min walk) and Guinness (30 min walk) factories as it also gave us the ability to take in things along the walk. You are close to Trinity College and both St Patrick's and Christ Church Cathedrals. lastly, I cannot say enough about the staff, Anne at the front desk was a warm and inviting pleasure and very professional, Marvin the concierge and bellman was super helpful and pleasantly informative, the house staff was attentive and always looking to make sure we were comfortable. The Brooks comes with my highest recommendation.

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.

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!

It is in a convenient location nearby many tourist attractions, such as Temple Bar, Dublin's castle, St Patrick's Cathedral, etc. it was also a short walking distance to our car rental pick up at St Stephen's Green shopping centre. We booked this hotel for the first day of our trip. We arrived in the morning so our room wasn't ready for check in yet, but we were able to drop off our luggage in the lobby. This made it easy for us as we could continue exploring according to our plan (we took a 30 minute train ride over to Howth right after dropping our bags). Coming back to the hotel around 5pm, our room was ready and we were able to nap a bit before dinner. The superior room we booked was located in a renovated section of the hotel and had access to a shared outdoor patio right across from our hotel room. We didn't have time to use the patio but it was spacious and it seemed no one was using it whenever we passed by. Our hotel room was very clean, large (great for us as we had plenty of luggage) and we had two complementary water bottles in the room. We had breakfast the next morning and it was buffet style. There is a section if you want fresh made omelettes. Lots of variety I think but I stuck with the classic Irish breakfast items. So delicious and fresh! Check out process - we had a bit of a hiccup as I had given my credit card for authorization for breakfast charges when I checked in. The staff was asking for my credit card again which confused me as I had already paid. Despite the confusion, the service at Radisson was great and I would definitely recommend this hotel for fellow tourists!

After enjoying a delicious breakfast in the hotel restaurant, the front desk was able to find rooms for us in the morning so we could take a nap before hitting the town. This was perfect!

We also found the absolute best breakfast of our entire trip just a few doors down at a place called Penam. We stayed here for eight days, left for the weekend to go to Belfast, and the staff were super sweet about holding our extra bags until we returned. The rooms with a bathtub has a shower to boot a huge plus--I'm a bath person, my husband loves showers, so it was perfect for both of us. The only reason I didn't give this hotel four stars is because of a couple of inconveniences. Parking is a bit of a pain, as it's not on site and it gets costly $20 a day , but that's to be expected in Dublin. When we got back from Belfast, our room wasn't ready--which I understand--but we were told we'd get a call when it was, and we never did. I came back around 3:30 after walking around all day I. The rain I was finally able to check in. They also told me our bags would be in the room before we arrived to check in, but they weren't. I asked and was told they'd be sent up, but three hours later, I still didn't have them. I wanted to go out to get something to eat, after taking a warm bath and warming up needing my warmer jacket that was in those bags. Overall, it's a great hotel in a fantastic location with some really kind staff, but the follow-through on the room and luggage situation kept it from being a perfect experience. You can really walk anywhere here shopping pubs Haban hop off buses. My husband goes to work and I can play all day. I don't need a car or nothing.

Everything was close- shopping, restaurants, Temple Bar area, Ha'penny Bridge, etc. As far as parking, the hotel was affiliated with a parking garbage a block away, with a discounted parking rate of 20 euros a day. The hotel will gave us a stamped card to show the parking garage attendant. A modern, contemporary hotel, that had a restaurant, morning breakfast room, lounge, and exercise room. Friendly service.. we were greeted daily with every passing of the check in desk area. Our room was ok- happy it had a small fridge, safe, desk, complimentary water, complimentary slippers, and daily housekeeping upon request. Room didn't have any great city views- just an inner building view. Pillows were flat as pancakes! I did mention to the front desk to add more pillows to our room- orthopedic pillows were offered, but they still were flat. Oh well, just had to layer my sleeping pillows. Breakfast was decent. A beautiful room with an additional upper eating area. Buffet style, with an additional option for made to order. Servers were very friendly and accommodating. Traditional Irish breakfast was offered as well as cereals, fruits, pastries, and yogurt. Overall, good experience. Great location.

The toilet sometimes made gurgling noises, perhaps triggered by the flushes of adjacent rooms or the activation of showers. There was a motor of some kind behind the bed wall that was intermittent, but thankfully not present after hours.
