Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was cleaned every day as I ventured around Dublin and coming back to fresh towels and sheets was great! The hotel bar staff were friendly as well and the food was delicious. Would definitely stay here again when I come back to Dublin

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG
Room was very nice and modern, you were also able to get a guitar from downstairs and take to your room, nice added touch. Offered to skip housekeeping and get a free drink each, which we dine, loved this as only there for 2 nights. Ate at the hotel one night, very nice pizza. Very central location ...
