Keavan's Port Hotel, Dublin

Great location. Close to the canal for a lovely walk. Lovely staff in reception

Breakfast choice was limited.. no eggs, no baguettes, no fruit bowl. We do understand the recent blockades for the fuel but no problem elsewhere if you like an egg as part of your breakfast. The bar area is stunning but another let down was the garden courtyard was closed off our whole stay with no explanation. Vapers or smokers were confined to a pathetic postage stamp area downstairs at the back. Some staff were nice but a couple were miserable. We had to change room on arrival due to the toxic smell which they did without hesitation. Room was clean and we could not figure where the smell was coming from, even when we opened the windows. Room 108 avoid. New room was a relief

In the city center, historical place. You fell like in the Dublin of the 19th century with the comfort of nowadays.

Good.

This hotel is lovely, and has a lot of charm and character and it was a pleasant stay. It was convenient for me. However, rather than “do not disturb” as is customary in hotels, this hotel only provides housekeeping service by request. Not understanding this backwards way of doing things, I had no service in the four days I stayed. I’d seen the weak reviews about the hotel breakfast but the place was busy so we gave it a try: breakfast took *over an hour* to arrive at our table and was tepid, not fresh or hot, when it did arrive.
