Arrived in the early hours of the after ferry cancelled and then delays. I notified reception of the change and Tomas informed me that the reception was 24 hours and I would be looked after and he would check me in himself. Arrived at 04.30 and met by night receptionist who took me to s room and logged my car registration.
The room was ok but for some reason the wind noise was loud. Next morning I explained to reception who moved me to a well appointed quiet room without any fuss or further comment. The remaining days of my stay were during the huge storm which hit the coast, During my stay the hotel felt safe and secure, and the staff were polite, helpful and pleasant at all times. The hotel may appear as 3* but the rooms and customer service was 5*. Highly recommended hotel based on my personal experience. A final acknowledgment to Ann Mary and Louise who contributed to lovely stay here.

I had a really positive stay at Gardiner House Hostel — a clean, friendly, and well-located choice for budget travellers in Dublin.
📍 Location
The location is excellent — just a short walk from major bus stops, shops, cafés, and walking distance to many central Dublin attractions like Temple Bar, Trinity College, and the Liffey bridges. It made exploring the city super convenient without having to rely on public transport.
🛏 Accommodation & Rooms
The rooms were tidy and functional with adequate storage space. Beds were comfortable for a hostel stay, and the linens were fresh. Shared bathroom facilities were kept clean throughout my visit.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Considering Dublin can be expensive, Gardiner House Hostel offers excellent value — affordable, clean, and centrally located.
Chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport. The taxi fare from Dublin station to the hotel was approximately 35 euro at night. The airport bus station is about 5 minutes walk away on the main road, the bus fare was 2-3 euro. The room size is slightly bigger because they assigned us an accessible room. The cleanliness needs to be improved. The kettle is disgusting and I was glad I checked the inner surface of the kettle before I started boiling water and drinking that water! There is a hot water dispenser at the reception, I used that as the last resort. The basin, bath tub and radiator all has some stains on it. In summary, I would not return again.

Great location. Next to the bus stop and walkable to most tourist sites.
Highly equipped kitchen with lots of pantry and fridge storage. There is a kitchen curfew though.
Very clean. Noticed cleaners everyday doing their task.
Will stay again

Friendly hotel staff, really helpful with keeping our luggage stored even after check out and other things. Got a free room upgrade which was much appreciated after a long trip, lovely comfortable bed and spacious room. Bathroom amenities were clean and pleasant as well. Many lovely extra items in the room as well including coffee pods and a coffee machine, hot chocolate powder, and some cookies. Appreciate the hair conditioner and body lotion as well. Lobby was clean and pleasant with free fruit water. Would definitely stay again.

Cleaners came once a day but i found the guests to be dirty. Due to the shower layout the floor of the bathroom was always dirty. Some interesting characters as they don’t require ID or have a front desk. Free wifi and breakfast which is nice. The bed itself is good and has curtains but the room is bright even with lights off and noise travels.

TTeacherTravelTimesI decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked.
Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance.
The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre.
Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well.
Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home.
The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want.
Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!
ผผู้เข้าพักI booked this hotel the night before boarding the ferry at Dublin Port.
Found the location good and amenities met my needs.
There is a bar restaurant that sometimes gets busy so booking could be a good idea.
CCeitidhExcellent hotel and very friendly staff. There is a shuttle to the airport that the reception staff will book for you upon check in. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you have an early flight the next day.
ผผู้เข้าพักMy husband and I had been planning this trip to Dublin for quite some time. And when we found this beautiful boutique hotel online, we were so excited. As soon as we arrived And checked in, there was a lot going on in the lobby area, so it was a little overwhelming. We saw a lady at the desk, but we weren’t sure that she actually worked there because she didn’t greet us. Didn’t even look our way. It seemed like she had a general disinterest or disdain for us being there. I asked, “Is this the front desk to the hotel?” To which she responded in a monotone voice, “Yes.” I was shocked that this was the first impression of the hotel that we were getting. What made it worse was that my husband was told that we needed to put a card on hold and he proceeded to tap his card thinking that it was like all the other places we had been to in Ireland. But it didn’t work. Several times he tapped it and it showed nothing. He asked the lady, “does your tap work? Do you have tap?” To which she replied a curt, “no.” Mind you, she was standing there the entire time and could see the entire situation. This interaction was such a bummer, and this made our short trip to Dublin feel a little sour.
To be honest, not all of the stuff was like that morning. We woke up to get a coffee downstairs, and the gentleman that works at the coffee bar was very warm. A young Spanish speaking man. He was absolutely amazing; patient and willing to answer any questions About the items on the menu And the different pastries available.
Overall, the hotel was a mixed bag. It had a very chic vibe but outside of that lovely gentleman, their customer service can definitely improve!
AAlexIt was a great stay overall. The location was perfect. It was near the center of Dublin. But was set in a quiet neighborhood just outside it. It is a doable walk to a park set along the water. I loved the Medieval Theme. The staff was friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. The dual shower heads are a nice setup. .Request a view of the front of the hotel. The only potential negative is the distance from the airport and the train.
ผผู้ใช้ไม่ระบุชื่อI was left stranded at the airport late at night by Ryanair. Conrad was the only room I could book but when I arrived they were so welcoming and charming I felt very cared for. Thank you beautiful hotel!
AAhmed TawatiThe hotel is very close to the public transportation and the mall which is one of the biggest in Dublin
In addition the cinema with updated movies
Restaurants are nearby as well
I would recommend the hotel for visitors
I will book it when I have a trip to Dublin
