A bit austere. A short walk from the center of Dublin.

A Dublin hotel I'll recommend without hesitation -- a gem of a place, international, exceptionally clean, organized, reasonable, quiet, professional, spacious. Young and old travelers, foreigners from everywhere. As they say, a brisk walk to the city center, 15 minutes to St Stephens square and 20 min to Trinity -- or easy cab ride. Good restaurant, and a cafe and bar. Safe, interesting site by historic canal, near airport shuttle coach.

Spacious, welcoming hotel - very clean and efficient. Bedroom of very good size, well equiped. Bathroom also very good. Convenient location, near bus stops and not too far to walk to Trinity College etc. Attractive canal with old-fashioned locks runs along the main road in front of the hotel, adding a slightly rural touch to this urban hotel.

Some employees didn't seem well prepared for the task. When asked for a nice Pub for lunch, one of them, at the reception desk, gave me the address of a place where they wouldn't even serve meals!!! My wife and I were rather disappointed, I'm afraid.

The hotel was about 15 minutes walk from Temple Bar which we viewed as an advantage, since the area was very quiet, and the walk home safe and pleasant. Friendly competent staff, large room, everything as advertised. Also very near to the aircoach route to/from the airport.

Good hotel, in a quiet zone, maybe a little too far from city center (about 15 minutes walking). Excellent staff, maybe rooms could be a little cleaner. Cannot say more, since I never used other hotel facilities. Anyway, I recommend it and I would return.

Everything was excellent however the hotel only received a reservation for one room when I in fact booked two rooms through venere.com. They had to shift us to another hotel for the first night but it was a four star that also comped us a fabulous buffet breakfast with an excellent staff to help us with our Dublin stay. Fernando at Mespil took care of everything for us and was fabulous in making up for the error made by venere.com in only booking one room for us.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. At check-in the employee gave us one room and electronic keys to another. The toilet did not flush, it was very hot, some rooms had two fans and ours had none. i really liked the availability of the free internet access for the guests.

We absolutely loved Hotel Mespil. Cynthia checked us in and she was so friendly and helpful and with so many guests she actually remembered us. The room was extremely clean and spacious, we had a double but the room also contained a twin. The bed was so comfortable we could have slept all day. Location is perfect, quiet and a brief walk to St. Stephen's and all the major tourist points. We loved the Mespil and we cannot wait to return.

The Mespil is a modern, clean, Hotel and was excellent value for money at appx. €90 per night. It's situated in a central location, within a 10 minute walk of St Stephens Green, which gives easy access to both Baggott Street bars and Grafton Street shops. It is also only 5 minutes walk from the "Aircoach" stop at Burlington Hotel.
