Hotel North Dublin, Dublin

I really wanted something to eat when we returned to our room at 9:30 on a Friday night. We had been out all day and I wanted to get back early so we could pack our stuff up and grab a quick bite but they weren't serving food any longer! Also the receptionist told us the night before that breakfast began at 7 am, so we would be able to eat before we le for the airport. Breakfast did not begin until 8 am but we had to leave by 730! No food once again! We liked everything else about the room and the hotel.

I traveled to Dublin in March and booked this hotel for a good deal (just under 70USD per night). For that price, I was pleased with what I found. The hotel is located to the west of the city center, 15 minutes or so, and it's in easy walk (or an even easier LUAS ride) down. I was in town mostly for business, so I would have appreciated more of a work space or wifi, but it's my fault for not looking into that earlier. There is free internet, but it's wired in the rooms and it was particularly slow most of the time. The hotel restaurant was serviceable but nothing spectacular. It is, however, located right next to a nice food market where you can purchase a variety of ready-made food. Had there been a kitchenette in the room, I would have been ecstatic. I will also say that, while the soundproofing between the rooms was adequate, I could hear every movement made from the hallway. There was only one night where this was truly an issue but it was more of a nuisance overall. I can see it being problematic if there are loud guests on your floor. Over all, I was pleased with what I received for the price I paid. However, I looked into the rates for my second trip and they're nearer to 200USD per night and I would absolutely not stay at the Maldron for that price.

Appartement spacieux et fonctionnel, bien décoré, très bien situé pour des visiteurs sans voiture. Personnel accueillant et disponible. En revanche, mal insonorisé, la circulation est dense le soir, c'est très bruyant. La literie est mauvaise, il n'y avait pas assez d'eau chaude pour 4 personnes et la chasse d'eau mettait 5 min pour se recharger. Poignée dans la salle de bain cassée, ce qui fait qu'il faut toujours ouvrir la porte de l'extérieur. Pas de cafetière

LOW SERVICES AND AMMENITIES HOTEL. ON NOISY STREET. HOT WATER NOT A PROBLEM IF YOU LEARN HOW TO WORK IT. USE THIS PLACE FOR THE VALUE.

Was given a windowless basement room that was damp and stank. [...]

ground floor room was very noisey,washhand basin leakedand no help from staff to find toilets.

The hotel, a busy place during check-in and breakfast, provides an excellent location to hit all the main tourist spots (and bars) in central Dublin. We found the staff to be helpful and we loved the breakfast. Great bar too. The room was a bit tight, however, but what do you expect for $77 a night! We would stay here again.

This hotel provides a good location for seeing Dublin. We were pleased with our room, and found the hotel quiet and comfortable. We followed the hotel's directions and didn't leave valuables in our room. I would stay here again.

Great apartments, staff was friendly. clean and tidy rooms. Only negative was the 15 min walk to temple bar area but was fine when walking back after a few drinks .

Check in was easy. We had one slight mishap when another person was gievn the key to our room as they had us registered in a different apartment, but ot was promptly and couteously handled. The apartment was great. The location was fantastic. The only other problem was there was no internet access. The WiFi was down and the ethernet did not work in our apartment.

Great Location for City Centre shopping and walking distance to all the pubs and bars, my only criticism, the breakfast could have been hotter

La posizione dell'hotel permette di raggiungere le principali attrazioni in 10-15 minuti a piedi. La prima colazione è abbondante e varia. Nel terzo letto mancavano le lenzuola! Giudizio complessivo abbastanza buono.

Excellent as usual. Stayed here three times before and it is excellent. Staff are fiendly and very clean. rooms are very comfortable

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was right across the street from the train station, which making our tours very easy and convenient. The only thing I would change would be the mattress on the bed. It wasn't very comfortable. The room was very nice and well kept. I would certainly stay here again.

Très bon hotel avec bus à quelques pas pour le centre ville (15 minutes).

Very helpful and friendly staff! Good location and great price.

Das Personal war stets freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer schön eingerichtet. Für ein 4 Sterne-Hotel hätte ich jedoch auch Haartrockner im Bad und Hausschuhe im Zimmer erwartet. Die Lage ist etwas außerhalb des Zentrums, allerdings kann man gut zu Fuß dorthin laufen (ca. 15-20min).

Right across the street from the GAA Croke Park Stadium. Little further away from City Center. Not much directly around the area and have to walk around 15-20 minutes to get to anything. Great bed, bathrooms, friendly staff!

Stayed four nights while visiting Dublin and northern part of the country. Staff very helpful, we arrived before check in and were able to drop our bags at the front desk so we didn't have to carry them with us while shopping that morning. Had a problem with heat in the room but were moved to another room. Nothing elegant about the rooms, and they are small, but they provide all that is needed. I did notice that the tub/shower floor was several inches higher than the bathroom floor making it awkward to step out, possibly a problem for those not stable on their feet (there are no hand rails). Main feature about this hotel is location. Dining area very nice, has a bar and stage where Irish dancers perform every night (dance show is free). The tourist office is right down the street where you can get lots of information about local attractions. Found a 24 hour cafe/convenience store about a block away.

All hotel and bar staff were very welcoming and friendly and the general overall service given was excellent for our requirements. The Irish dancing/music entertainment provided each night was an added bonus.The hotel location is extremely convenient for touring the city as the local/city tour buses and airlink bus all have stops within metres of the Arlington.

This hotel was a great place to stay. the rooms were always cleaned daily. It's the perfect place to stay because you're right in the middle of everything. it gets a little noisy on the weekends but hey it's Templebar! Two of the things that are on the downside is that they don't offer any continental breakfast and you have to be standing outside your door to get Wi-Fi connection. the staff always helped if you needed to find something Or directions. Me and my wife stayed here for one week and we were very satisfied staying here.

The hotel was very nice and in a great location. The room was comfortable and had a nice, clean bathroom. It included a free drink at the VAT bar, but unfortunately had to be used before 6pm and we were out seeing the city so never got to use them.

Located in the up and coming Smithfield neighborhood Dublin, I selected the Generator Hostel because of its great reviews and reasonable pricing. This was my first time staying in a hostel and I expected and overall no-frills experience. However, I was still left disappointed even with low expectations. The Generator has a very club-like feel with spacious bars, neon lighting, and trendy fixtures. The lobby and ground floor is the best feature of the Generator with a breakfast cafe, bar, internet computers, pool tables, and vending areas. As told by the staff, the Generator property is less than one year old. However the property feels much older and unkempt. There are floorboards loose throughout the property and the fixtures are worn. The guests room are where the property really shows wear. The location is was also a sticking point for me. On the positive side, it is close to the Luas tram stop, the Jameson Distillery, and some restaurants in Smithfield Square. However as far as most City Centre attractions, shops, and restaurants, it is about a 1.5 km walk to nearly everything. We stayed in a private room with an en suite bath. It was a room with two bunk beds to sleep four guests but we had it for just the two of us. The bunk beds were surprisingly comfortable with cozy linens and individual lighting for each cove. Other than the cozy beds, there were few positive notes about the guest rooms. The bathroom was by far the worst feature of the Generator. There was ZERO counter space to place any items down. The towels had to be retrieved from the front desk, even in the private rooms. No wash cloths were provided. there was also only two hooks to hang towels in the very bare bathroom. The shower was tiny and the tile was filthy. There was visible mold up the walls of the shower tiles. The floor of the shower was stainless steel which felt cold and dirty. The shower faucet was fussy and water pressure was weak. The water temperature was unpredictable and generally cold. I understand that this is a hostel but there was no place to set down items, not even a cabinet and certainly no closet to hang your clothes up. The staff at the Generator was somewhat friendly although guests are basically treated as numbers, not guests. You have to request just about every amenity from the front desk which let long waits at the counter. The staff essentially did the minimum job possible and was barely helpful most of the time. The did have laundry units available for guest use although it was very steep at 7 Euros per use. The daily breakfast was much more reasonable at 4 Euros. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying at the Generator Hostel. Unless you favor a very-budget, no frills experience, the Generator Hostel is mostly a hassle. Our stay was not very comfortable and the location is inconvenient to most City Centre attractions.

Simple, clean Twin ensuite room for a great price. Friendly place and good location. Couldn't get better for the price we paid..

Great experience at this hotel, in the bustling Temple Bar area....fantastic location , close to many sights... quick access to public transportation--- including Express Bus to Dublin Airport a few steps away. Would stay here again Good value as well

Great place to stay for location. Right in Temple Bar - loads of pubs within seconds of walking, grocery store across the street, pickup for tour buses is about 2 blocks away, river and the oldest pub in Ireland is a short walk & airport bus picks up and drops off at the corner. Only draw back is the street noise, especially if you stay on the front of the building - Fleet street is hopping most nights, regardless of season or weather

Loved our one week stay at the Clontarf Castle. Food in the restaurant and bar was excellent. Staff attentive and helpful. Beautiful building with comfortable rooms. I wish it was a little closer to Dublin City Centre but the bus stops right across the street or take a taxi.

Just what we needed. Away from all the noise, but so close that we took a cab everywhere. But easy access to all areas via bus if you want. The hotel is gorgeous and would definitely stay and recommend to all. Staff was one of the friendliest we've ever dealt with. Eat at th Knights bar for breakfast......They have green eggs and ham for breakfast....yummy!

We found the staff to be very helpful and accommodating. We could easily walk to all the major sites in Dubllin, including several incredible eateries and pubs (be sure to check out the Guiness at The Celt!).

This hotel is definitely no frills but the rooms were clean, had all the basic necessities, and the bed was comfortable. Front desk staff were very friendly and knowledgeable (i.e. helped us figure out how to get to the airport, dining recommendations, etc). We arrived at 10AM and they had our room ready by 11AM! This was really great, as we were tired and jet-lagged and needed to rest before going out to explore the city. Location was in walking distance to everything and there were some great pubs and restaurants in the neighborhood. Also, the stop for the AirLink bus to and from the airport was located less than 2 minutes from the hotel. Overall, a very good value for the money. If you don't plan on staying in the room the whole time (and why would you!) this hotel is perfect for anyone on a budget! We would stay here again of traveling back to Dublin.

Great location for sightseeing, with easy access to the Luas directly behind the hotel and otherwise quieter location. Easy parking in IFSC, with hotel discount. Discounted breakfast deal available at check in, excellent value and quality. Would highly recommend.

Had a great time. Staff gave 100% at all times. Breakfast excellent well worth booking. Location brilliant. Will definitely be back.

This hotel was very nice. They had plenty of outlets in the room and great space to get ready for two girls going out on St. Patty's Day. The hotel bar was great for live music and less expensive pints of Guinness then we spent out in Dublin. Bus station right across the street to head into town for less than 3 euro and they had our cars inside a locked underground gate area. Felt very safe! Great place and great staff very helpful in getting around!

De bus stopt precies voor het hotel, dit is een groot pluspunt. we hadden een kamer aan de straatkant, doordat er geen airco is in de kamer moet het raam wel open. Hierdoor is er veel lawaai van het verkeer. Maar als je eenmaal slaapt merk je er weinig van. De Wifi die wordt aangeboden is niet contstant, vaak valt de verbinding weg of je krijgt helemaal geen verbinding. Verder zijn de kamers ruim, schoon, goede service (koffie/thee voorziening) 1 nacht hebben we niet goed geslopen, er was een feest aan de gang recht onder onze kamer. Het personeel gaf eerst aan dat het tot 12 uur zou duren, daarna was het 1 uur. Om 1 uur was het afgelopen en idd was het toen ook snel stil. Ze hadden het ons beter kunnen laten weten dat er een feestje is onder onze kamer. Verder hebben we prima overnachtingen gehad in dit hotel.

l'appartement n'est accessible que grâce a un digicode ; nous avions reçu une convocation qui stipulait que nous devions nous présenter à la réception. Nous avons failli passer le réveillon de noël dans la rue : il n'y a aucune réception sur place et nous n'avions pas le code pour rentrer ne serait-ce que dans le hall de l'immeuble.... L'appartement est très spacieux, mais très mal équipée (pas de vaisselle), le service de ménage n'a été aperçu qu'une fois ... Le jour du départ !! A part ça l'emplacement (centre ville) est très satisfaisant

We got off to a bad start, self check in was at 2.30pm, when we arrived at the security box there was no key. Luckily a member of staff happened to come by and called the cleaning lady. We were given our key, but the room had yet to be cleaned. When we came back 2 hours later the room was in the process of being cleaned, so we had to hang around until it was done. The next problem was no hot water. After calling several times a handy man came. He said it would take 3 hours to fix properly, so did some temporary changes. This meant we did get hot water, but it was scolding hot, and at best a slow dribble.

Overall, the hotel is in good location. It is now under new ownership, or about to be. They will need to spend a little on staff and renovations but overall the price, location, drinks are good value and would go back.

Arrived early, and reception found us a great room immediately, and we were overlooking the Liffey. Had read other reviews and expected the hotel to be a shabby has-been, but it was well appointed, clean and contemporary with a good bar and helpful staff.

The hotel was overall great! There were a couple of minor issues. Everything was super except their clerk kept forgetting to put our wake up calls in the computer. It was one particular clerk. The rest did great. Also their was something funky with their internet. We could not authenticate on our server for email while we were their.

Very high Standard, long walk to o'connells street only down side.

Centrally located to dining and shopping. Chapter one is 2 blocks away. Ask for a room in the back, will be much more quiet

easy walk to all the sites of Dublin, restaurant and bar were very good. Food was better than i anticipated and service was very good. I would stay there again.

Hotel situé loin du centre mais agréable, spacieux et confortable. Un large choix au petit déjeuner.

The Gibson Hotel is a very trendy hotel situated at the point in Dublin. The room and bathroom was very modern and very well put together. Complementary Wi-Fi was available and multiple power outlets were present for electronic devices. If you were planning on seeing a show at the O2, the location is excellent. If you want to see temple bar expect a ~7 Euro (each way) taxi ride or ~4 Euro tram ride (round trip). The tram is located just outside the hotel entrance. Reception was very nice and was the bar staff. Food within the hotel is expensive, but this is to be expected. Parking in the public ramp below the hotel is very safe and secure however expensive. I believe it to be ~18 Euro a night, however parking is expensive throughout the city. All together, a very nice hotel with a good wait staff, a unique location, and excellent service.
