What guests think

Across the reviews, Mespil Hotel is praised for friendly, professional staff, clean modern rooms, and a quiet, walkable location near the canal, with many enjoying excellent breakfasts and comfortable beds, though some note limited parking.

It is about 15-30 minutes from central sights, with nearby buses, plenty of places to eat, and easy access to the Aviva Stadium. Some guests report weak corridor-door soundproofing, occasional temperature-control or shower quirks, and rare slow lounge service. Expect a comfortable, well-run stay slightly outside the busiest areas.

Great hotel that is very up to date. It was clean and very relaxing. It’s about a 30 minute walk to the city centre. I would respectfully highlight that the car park information was not clear and misleading. It is on a first come first serve basis. This was not highlighted in the booking. Meaning I had to park on the road away from the hotel when I was notified of car park being full at check in. Please update that information on websites so customers know they may not have full access to a car park.

Parking lot is limited and a bit difficult to get into when full, but it's the center of Dublin. That might be the absolutely only negative thing I can say, as everything else was great.

Had received lots of emails in the runup to our stay. Booked this hotel as there was parking . But the emails said parking was limited. On arrival all 6 spaces at the front were taken so we did as advised on the emails and payed parking on the road- very expensive. When we got to our room & looked out the window we could see another car park with spaces belonging to the hotel. We moved our car to there to save us having to top up the on street parking but had already forked out €12 unnecessarily. In the email communications we really should have been told about this car park! Also, we had booked two room. One was for my son & his friend. At check-in although both rooms allocated had long size beds. We were told that tim he second room for my son & his friend the beds would be separated later that evening for them. Unfortunately when we arrived back after 1am this had not been done and at that time of night we wanted to get to bed and were not going to wait for this to be done! Apart from that the hotel was great and the breakfast was lovely.

The location was very close to the event I went to be part of and there were a few good restaurants very close to grab lunch/dinner. It was about 25 min walk from the center of town and was reasonable to get to know the city. The only thing I did not like much was the gym and was very small.

Väldigt fint hotell beläget på promenadavstånd från stadens centrum. Mycket trevlig personal och härlig hotellbar/ lounge. Extra mysig känsla i hotellets gemensamma utrymmen nu under juletid. Rekommenderar!

Great little boutique hotel. The rooms are very clean and we had a vaulted ceiling in our room! The air conditioning was not great but we had them change out the heavy duvet for a lighter blanket and we were okay. The bar is excellent with great food and drinks. The staff is extremely friendly and always willing to offer assistance. There are some restaurants close by but it serves you better to go to Baggot or Grafton Street. Highly recommend!

The hotel was clean and very nicely appointed. The staff was very polite. Our rooms location was not the greatest as our windows were over an ally that I guess was used for trash pick up, and deliveries. It was a bit noisy. The bathroom also had a bit of a foul smell, that same smell was in the lobby one day. If I went back I would try and stay at a location more centrally located.

Hotel and room were very clean. The bed was very comfortable. However, the door to the hallway is not soundproof so you can be woken up by other hotel guests coming in all through the night. We could have been unlucky with the number of early morning returners making noise but something to note. Our check in experience could have been more welcoming and friendly. Overall, a great stay and base for exploring Dublin!

The hotel was clean, staff were friendly. Be aware that the doors are not sound proof so if you’re trying to rest after a full day of exploring, you’ll be waken up by the sound of door slamming in the hallway all morning. The location is great if you’re active and don’t mind walking but if you travel with teenagers who care about their look more than comfort or with little ones, it might be a little farther away from everything and public transportation.

We enjoyed the quieter area rather than staying in the heart of downtown Dublin. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was clean, the location was a 15 minute walk to St. Stephan’s Square which was enjoyable. Only thing that didn’t work was adjusting the heat/AC and the espresso machine wouldn’t accept the coffee pod even when I tried watching a YouTube video on how to do it

The reception staff were extremely helpful. Breakfast was very good. The restaurant (the Lounge) was a real disappointment. It took over 40 minutes for us to receive a simple cheese plate. The waitstaff was oblivious and not checking with customers to see if there were issues. Only one server apologized for the delay and kindly offered a glass of wine to compensate for the ridiculous delay.

They even allow us to check in early as we took the red eye flight in to Dublin and was in desperate need of a Power Nap. I would definitely recommend this hotel when you consider visiting Dublin.

What an amazing hotel. Ideally located within walking distance of the centre of Dublin. Was not aware that we could have asked for a room with a bath when we did the reservation (they have this limited option which is great, but don't advertise it) and when I asked after our first night if there was any option to move to a room with a bath the second night they not only moved us, BUT gave us a complimentary upgrade to a suite! Really enjoyed our stay here and they go above and beyond.

We stayed the last two nights of our trip at the Mespil Hotel in Dublin. Joao at the front desk gave us a beautiful room and even gave us some great restaurant suggestions. Our room was very comfortable and we slept very well both nights. The breakfast options at the hotel were excellent, and we ate there both mornings, even though it wasn't included in our rate. We can't say enough good things about Joao. He was great and really made us feel welcome!

Nice to have fridge and coffee maker in room.We enjoyed the restaurants , bars near the hotel and the walk to St Stephen’s green. It was also a 15 minute walk to the canal street train station so we could take the train to Howth. The only negative were the metal gates/ fences along the canal in front of the hotel which detracted from beauty ( not the hotels fault). The price point was right for us and we didn’t want to be in a noisy area . It was quiet.

The Mespil Hotel had the best breakfast of our 2-week trip to Ireland! Nice to start off with a hearty breakfast before touring all around. Great hotel and very helpful staff. Near the Grand Canal which we enjoyed walking, as well as other nearby neighborhoods and restaurants. A little bit further from key downtown attractions but easy to get there on foot, by bus, or quick taxi rides. LOVED this hotel!!!
