Not central but easy access via tram into centre and also near the motorway to the airport. Guests have use of gym and pool. Nice big comfy bed.

It's a good hotel, but is too far from the city centre.

The hotel is located on the southside of the city close to the M50 motorway which comes from the airport. Not within walking distance of the city centre but a few minutes from the LUAS railway which takes you into the city. As it is on the outskirts of the city there are no nearby restaurants. The lift did not work but as it only has 2 floors it was not much of a problem, upper rooms have a dormer sloping ceileing so get the lower floor if possible.Very quiet stay but the Aussie receptionist could do with a few lessons in customer relations, otherwise I found the hotel excellent value for money and was suitable to my needs.

lo sheldon park è molto carino esteticamente, arredato benissimo...non si trova proprio centrale, è a 20 min dal centro con il tram e 35 con l'autobus...nonostante ciò è economico quindi anche se non è centralissimo....va bene!

This is a good value hotel - not far from public transport, though the location is not central. It's about 25 minutes from the city centre on the red Luas (tram) line, at Kylemore. Staff were welcoming, helpful and competent, though they did charge me for the hotel in GB Pounds without giving me a choice of paying in the local currency (Euro) or my home currency (GB Pounds). The room was spacious and clean and the facilities were good.

Hotel molto carino, situato un po in periferia, per il centro ci vogliono almeno 25 minuti con la Luas, camere carine e ottima SPA con piscina e sauna compresa nel prezzo. Ideale per persone giovani e dinamiche. (McDonald's nei pressi)

I booked the Sheldon as it was offering a cheap price compared to other hotels. Although the Sheldon was outside the city it wasnt a problem. Using he Luas was easy and cheap and took approximately 30 mins.The Luas was very reliable, clean and gave an opportunity to speak to local people. I traveled as part of a group of 6 women and on no occasions did any of us feel threatened or ill at ease. The Sheldon offered triple rooms that were exceptionally clean and the staff were helpful and pleasant. The key system to the doors on occasions were difficult but the staff were very helpful. Although the area was fairly noisy at night due to traffic this didnt stop us sleeping after very busy days in Dublin. I would highly recommend this hotel to all travelers as it is of a very high standard at reasonable prices.

According to the map we thought that the hotel was located closer to the centre of Dublin. We booked 2 rooms and one was very small but the prices were the same.

Sono stato in vacanza allo Sheldon Park Hotel per cinque giorni e ci sarei rimasto altrettanti se non di più...l'albergo è davvero grazioso, in puro stile irlandese, con moquette dappertutto e ambienti sfarzosi nonchè, cosa più importante, camere molto spaziose, pulite e ben arredate. Mi ha ricordato un pò quelle grosse case dei nobili, con i lampadari antichi in tutti i corridoi e quella grossa scala centrale per salire alle camere dalla hall...comunque davvero un ottimo affare, il rapporto qualità prezzo è davvero notevole!!! Nonostante non sia proprio in zona centrale (l'ambiente intorno non è davvero niente di speciale, anche se comunque molto tranquillo) l'hotel è servito magnificamente dalla Luas rossa, la metrotranvia di Dublino che in una ventina di minuti ti porta direttamente in O' Connell Street, quindi nel vivo della città.

The hotel is quiet, but not really central. 5 minute walk to the light-rail then 20 minutes to central Dublin. The hotel staff was not very inviting and did not have any information about the surroundings other then to inform us how to get downtown (not even a local map of the area!)
