Top Whelan's Hotel Reviews

The Dean Dublin Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about the Dean!! From check in to helping us with a booking problem they couldn’t have been more helpful !! Naira worked very hard helping us find a place to stay after I mistakenly was short a day in my booking - totally my error. Kate made sure we were comfortable while we called around for another accommodation. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel with their amazing staff!!"

The Mercantile Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super quiet for such a central location. No noise at all. Amazing breakfast. Super helpful staff, a great bar.....could not ask for more"

Wellington Temple Bar

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel and pub both so great! Pub has amazing food and offers some welcome shelter from the usual traffic. Such good and friendly people."

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Perfectly clean. Modern room. Beautiful lobby and bar. Only minor drawback was windows in room don’t open but air con good."

Zanzibar Locke

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect room, very modern and the air conditioning was a plus. The large TV was excellent and the bathroom was clean with beautiful features."

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in the best spot in Dublin to be in! It is located on the street called Temple Bar (named after a man named Temple) where all the music bars are on, and that's where you want to end up at the end of the evening with a short walk back to your hotel after a pint of guinness. It's located in a great walking district easily walking to many things. The hotel has been recently redone in a modern style, It is a four star hotel but done well for a four star. There is a breakfast room downstairs with a breakfast buffet for a charge till 10am. We had a room in the back of the hotel so it was quiet at night. The front desk staff speaks many languages and was very helpful. They are very ecologically concerned and had a choice of going green in cleaning your room, by not changing your sheets or towels or even not cleaning your room at all, thus not using any cleaning products. All in all a very good stay in the PERFECT location!"

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"From the check in you were made to feel Very welcome hotel ideally placed and near to all shops and attractions. Very modern and stylish great bar and a good selection and the cocktails were amazing. When we come back to the beautiful Dublin will be staying here again that’s for sure."

The Grafton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is situated right in the centre of all the action. Close to Grafton Street, O'Connell street and most of the historic places, all within walking distance. Our classic king room was quite large (no drawers for clothes so we lived out of suitcases) but it had an iron and ironing board, mini fridge and a safe. The bathroom was very adequate and the amenities were good value. The most impressive was the staff that work there in every capacity. The front desk was incredibly friendly and helpful and all other staff at their stations were respectful, welcoming and kind. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who asked me."

The Green

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel, attentive staff, excellent location"
