The room was very clean, modern. Location is very convenient, walking distance to the most attractions, and plenty of dining options around. Staff is polite, especially the guy at the reception, Sourin. He put all effort to ensure that we are all set. Loved this place!

Super friendly staff, comfortable room, great breakfast, good gym, decent location - what more could you ask for!
Brilliant hotel - stayed for the Dublin marathon which was accessible to the start line. Staff were extremely pleasant and hotel was lovely. Will certainly stay again!
Excellent stay for 1 night. Quick check in after safely parking our car in hotel carpark. Bedroom was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Breakfast was one of the best we've had....delicious. Can't wait to return.
Beautiful hotel, in a lovely, quiet location. Easy access to and from the city centre, either by public transport or a 20 minute walk to the heart of the action.
This hotel is beautiful, staff was great, and location was good. It is in a part that gets traffic in the mornings due to people going to work, but after the morning rush it dies down. Would definitely stay here again, it did not disappoint.
We loved our stay at the Mespil Hotel. It is in a great neighborhood with a great setting. The atmosphere is incredible and the staff sharp. We really enjoyed dinner and drinks in the lounge too!
Beautiful area. Easy walk into centre. Loved location

Hop on Hop off 20/30 min walk away, Temple Bar are 35 min walk.
Onsite breakfast very good.
Beds comfortable.
Staff very good.
All in all recommend to stay here.
Hotel and room were very clean. The bed was very comfortable. However, the door to the hallway is not soundproof so you can be woken up by other hotel guests coming in all through the night. We could have been unlucky with the number of early morning returners making noise but something to note. Our check in experience could have been more welcoming and friendly. Overall, a great stay and base for exploring Dublin!
This hotel was just across the river from the city center. It does take a short walk to get you into the shopping and food district. We rented a vehicle and had to pay for parking. The facility is clean, the staff is very helpful and we had a very nice stay.
Very clean hotel with a fantastic friendly staff. Its location allows for walking to many eateries and shops. Restaurant is also available on premises. Check in was fast and convenient. They even allow us to check in early as we took the red eye flight in to Dublin and was in desperate need of a Power Nap. I would definitely recommend this hotel when you consider visiting Dublin.
