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.

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.

This was the first hotel we stayed at out of six hotels on a tour of Ireland. It really set me my…read moreexpectations up for the rest of the trip, but turns out this is just a good hotel on par with what I'd expect in the states. There's a coffee bar that *actually* serves a good cappuccino. Breakfast with a nice variety of food. There are robes and a hair dryer. There's little bottles of shampoo and lotion. Turns out this isn't the norm. I should mention there is no AC here, so beware if you happen to be visiting during a time when the weather is hot (whatever that means to you). You can pop open a window, but if you are street facing you may encounter noise. While I may have normally judged this hotel more critically, having compared it to 6 other locations post Ireland trip, this is definitely my top choice of all the places I stayed based on amenities, food, and location.

I had a great stay at the Radisson Blu for a night this July…read more This hotel was walking distance, less than 10 minutes away from the bus stop that we had taken from the airport. 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!

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.

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 enjoyed an Irish breakfast each of our mornings at this hotel and the food was amazing! I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel if you're traveling to Dublin!

Nestled away in a little neighborhood, didn't find anything in walking distance. We had one of the luxury suites which included dinner. The four poster bed was made for a king. We melted into the plush mattress and comforters. The bathroom was like a spa and included thick white bath robes. Felt like it was a spa. Our room included dinner at the Fahrenheit Restaurant. What a wonderful place to dine. We got to order from a 3 course menu and everything was wonderful. Treat yourself to some pampering. Live like a king and queen for a night.

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!

My wife and I stayed here on holiday from the United States. Sure, it is a little walk (maybe…read more10min) from the center of town. The bus stops outside the door, so if you don't mind a bus ride you should be fine. What makes this place great is the owners. It was sort of like staying with friends. The owner was always available with directions, recommendations. The owner also recommended the Hertz shop down the road (5 minute walk down circular) which was awesome way for us to leave and return to Dublin. When we returned "sure you can use my garage." Which was nice, the 16A bus might come to his doorstep, but it is a LONG bus ride (1hr30min) from the Airport. Breakfast was good. Our room had a bathroom (en suite as they say). Price was $40 Euro a person. The room was quiet, we were never disturbed! Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend it. As rick steve's might say 1/2 the price for 2x the cultural immersion. Too bad I didn't know yelp was in Dublin before I went (I would of found restaurants!)

He immediately welcomed me into the space and offered a full tour. As for convenience, the bus stop is right outside the front door and is conveniently an hour or so from DUB airport. A walk to City Center is about 20 minutes and the canal is about five minutes. I recommend this spot for singles or couples. It's warm and welcoming and the rooms are really nice!
