What guests think

At Travelodge Dublin City Rathmines, travellers describe a basic stay with notably friendly front-desk service, generally clean rooms, and a convenient location near buses, shops, and dining, balanced by dated features and some maintenance and comfort shortcomings.

Rooms are functional, with some spacious, but recurring comments mention cold temperatures, small or tepid showers, limited ventilation or no air conditioning, and occasional noise from the road or corridors. Facilities are limited, including paid parking that can be inconvenient and minimal common areas. A few guests noted stained carpets or dirty bathrooms, and some felt pricing was high for what’s offered. Overall, expect a straightforward, no frills base in a handy neighborhood.

This property was in the absolute perfect location!!! Very walkable, lots of shopping and dinning options around. If you need to park your vehicle, be sure to call ahead to make sure they hold a spot for you. The staff was so nice and accommodating. The area was very safe and the rooms were clean.

There weren't any hair dryers in the rooms you had to go to the front desk to get and return and since I didn't I don't know if they had anyone the premises. The parking was an additional € 10 a day and needed to go to front desk get fob and return fob before leaving. A lot of walking at no additional cost.last night there, electric goes out had to get the night front desk guy to come up and turn breaker. No food!?! How was this advertised as a hotel. I should have been paid to endure such a travesty and if I left, every where else was booked. It seemed clean because I was the first in a long time to stay there.

Great location if you want to go further into the CBD to experience the nightlife. Only complaint would be that after paying €309 on a non refundable room which was advertised as having “parking available”, upon check in I was informed parking was going to cost another €10. Perhaps a change in the room listing to state “€10 parking available” would help. But the staff were great and I enjoyed my stay.

I know it's a Travelodge but what this hotel really needs is a breakfast room. The nearby eatery that offers a 10% discount to guests doesn't open until 10 and many other local places don't open until 9. The staff are friendly and helpful, but the lack of common parts means that atmosphere doesn't reach beyond the reception desk, which is a shame.

Overall it was a really good stay. I think the only thing that would have been an extra touch would be if the team greeted their guests whenever they came back, just a simple “hello, how was your day” would have done it. The only person who did greet us everytime was Jamie (the team member who worked the late shift most of our stay). But it would have been great if this was consistent from all the team members. It’s the small things that does not cost anything that makes the difference for us. But overall, very good - we got a nice large room, housekeeping was friendly!
