"We stayed here for two nights during our first trip to Dublin and enjoyed how close to the city centre the hotel was. It was an easy walk to the national gallery, trinity college, temple bar and many restaurants, shops and pubs. The hotel room was basic, but very clean. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was a good size with a great shower. We enjoyed a few drinks at the hotel bar. Nearby restaurants we enjoyed were Kehoes for breakfast, Bunsen for a burger, Leo Burdock’s for fish & chips, and Bambino for a slice of pizza."

"Great stay and perfect location close to the arena. Very close to a Dublin Express bus stop if you are coming from the airport. Small things would have made it even better for example room had no tissues - minor point but would have expected some in a hotel of this type. Breakfast was nice but food was not very hot which I know is really difficult when you are catering for so many people. These really are minor points and I would definitely stay at The Samuel again."
