Schoolhouse Hotel is a charming historic boutique stay praised for friendly staff, comfortable quiet rooms, and an on site restaurant and pub many enjoyed for breakfast and dinner, all in a pleasant neighborhood within walking distance of central sights.
Several note it's not in the very center, though access to attractions and transit is easy. Common critiques include occasional weak showers and minor wear in some rooms or bathrooms, plus mixed feedback about breakfast speed, menu variety, and value. Overall, expect a characterful, quieter base with a popular pub on site.

This is a quaint boutique hotel in a lovely part of Dublin along the Grand Canal but it was more like a babbling brook with a wonderful tree lined walking path along each side. There was a nice selection of hot and cold tasty breakfast items. The attached restaurant and pub were grand and even had a nice place to sit outside on a warm evening. Staff was very helpful and kind.

Convenient location. Friendly staff. Restaurant on site. Comfy bed. Nice shower. Only two quibbles: 1) It would be helpful to add a shower caddy, and 2) it would be great to have more diverse music (including traditional Irish music) on the restaurant playlist instead of the repeating loop of tired 80s and 90s pop music.

My wife and I stayed at the Schoolhouse on our very first trip to Dublin. I chose it for the character of the property, and it did not disappoint. The rooms very nice and seemed to have been upgraded fairly recently. However, it was the common areas that set the hotel apart. The vaulted dining room and bar area were charming and gave a sense of what the building was like when it was originally built. Also, the old-school keys were a nice touch. The compromise for this charm was location, not being in the center of Dublin. Still, the 20-minute walk to Trinity college was not bad since the weather during our stay was cooperative. I can also recommend the gastropub. We thought we'd just make use of the restaurant for breakfast but at the end of a long day of sightseeing we chose to have dinner at the hotel several nights. A good meal and then straight to bed!

Wonderful staff, lovely hotel, great pub/restaurant … met all of our needs except one … we wanted to leave one small suitcase at the hotel for 5 days while we bicycled in Connemara between our 2 stays at the Schoolhouse, but they have nowhere to store guests’ luggage. We were advised to try the bus station or train station to find a locker. We overheard another guest with the same request who seemed dismayed with no time to fix the problem. I wish a better solution could be found.

We really had a wonderful 4 day stay at Schoolhouse. The room was spacious and very clean. The staff was courteous and very helpful. The breakfast had a lot of variety and was very good. We also had dinner in the restaurant. Both the food and the service were top notch. We would certainly stay at the Schoolhouse again. If you are driving, the parking lot is small and challenging to negotiate.

Staff in the dining area and cleaning staff are excellent - professional and genuinely friendly!!! Thank you. Buffet good! Cooked breakfast, less so. Bed very comfy and room size good. Rather faded glory and outside areas shabby snd dirty. … a little updating is overdue. Shower very weak. . The lift was out of order over 3 days so had to carry case up two flights of stairs. The hotel is well positioned for lots of places of interest in the city. I had meetings and one day missed food all day. I asked in the bar and at reception if a bag of crisps or a banana could be found ( since there was no mini bar). The answer was an emphatic no “ not after10pm” with zero concern and a swift return to her conversation with another staff member. Certainly no genuine customer care for a mature lady on her own. I appreciated that a taxi was ordered and came on time. Apart from the first night, reception was professional but lacking ANY pathic communication and whilst language skills were excellent, there wasn’t the usual warmth and rapport found in most Irish hotels. Maybe the reception area needs rethinking along with reception staff training around the word hospitality? The truth is that you can get more and pay less.

The room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable with a good combination of foam and feather pillows. Good shower, although the power was a bit weak. Wardrobe doors had signs of damage which had not been sorted. Window out to the rear of the property with food bins from the kitchen being raded by seagulls. Pleasant! The service was ok, although I feel the attitude to a request for room service seemed an inconvenience and non-resident Bistro customers were given precedence (or so it appeared). Expensive rates which were not reflected in the level of service or approach.

We asked for a quiet room as the hotel is on a busy road out of Dublin. Our room at the back was very very quiet and I think most rooms will also be quiet. The breakfast was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and professional. Dining in the restaurant in the evening was good but there could have been more choice with perhaps a fresh fish option.

The only set back we had was that they were trimming trees the whole time we were there and it was right outside our window and was loud during the day

This is a quaint boutique hotel in a lovely part of Dublin along the Grand Canal but it was more like a babbling brook with a wonderful tree lined walking path along each side. There was a nice selection of hot and cold tasty breakfast items. The attached restaurant and pub were grand and even had a nice place to sit outside on a warm evening. Staff was very helpful and kind.

This property is with easy walking distance of most everything, yet feels more secluded. It’s only about a five minute walk to the Hop on- Hop off bus and many restaurants and shops. More than anything else, though, the staff is absolutely wonderful. They go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

Excellent place to stay well looked after. The breakfast was very good and the chicken wings at the bar were the best we ever had. Staff are very good and helpful.

My wife and I stayed at the Schoolhouse on our very first trip to Dublin. I chose it for the character of the property, and it did not disappoint. The rooms very nice and seemed to have been upgraded fairly recently. However, it was the common areas that set the hotel apart. The vaulted dining room and bar area were charming and gave a sense of what the building was like when it was originally built. Also, the old-school keys were a nice touch. The compromise for this charm was location, not being in the center of Dublin. Still, the 20-minute walk to Trinity college was not bad since the weather during our stay was cooperative. I can also recommend the gastropub. We thought we'd just make use of the restaurant for breakfast but at the end of a long day of sightseeing we chose to have dinner at the hotel several nights. A good meal and then straight to bed!

The rooms in the Schoolhouse are extremely comfortable with efficient heating and cooling as required. Television channel limited. The food offering was not as remembered from previous stays. Menu very limited and the chef appears to have a large container of shredded spring onions which are liberally sprinkled onto everything from scrambled eggs with smoked salmon to fried eggs to caesar salad!

From start to finish, it was a memorable stay! It was great to have food & drinks onsite and the staff was friendly & provided exceptional service. Additionally, the convenience of the bus stop right outside the Schoolhouse made it so much easier to navigate Dublin!

I truly enjoyed our stay. Our room was spacious with 3 chairs! The bathroom was wonderful with a large shower. The area is lovely, safe, and a 20 minute walk to the city center with interesting things to see along the way.
