The Devlin Dublin is a stylish boutique hotel in Ranelagh noted for genuinely friendly, helpful staff and a neighborhood setting with easy tram and bus links, suiting travelers who prefer characterful areas just outside the city center.

Guests highlight the rooftop restaurant with views, a buzzing ground floor bar, and a small basement cinema; food and drinks are well regarded. Common drawbacks include very compact rooms with limited storage, some noise between rooms or from external fans, and occasional housekeeping, maintenance, or amenity communication issues.

Parking was a bit of a problem, but we figured it out. This is a cute, trendy hotel with a movie theatre in the basement. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom really nice. There are a lot of dining options within walking distance. Overall an enjoyable experience.

The Devlin was a great experience. A cool hotel tucked into the greater Dublin area that has a warm bar, a terrific rooftop restaurant, and a small movie theater in the basement.

When checking in, I was told Layla's restaurant wasn't open and I purposely stayed where there was a restaurant on site. However, I went upstairs to have a look and the restaurant was open and busy?! Bad communication from reception - not good enough. This is basic information about amenities within your hotel. Lovely modern hotel, with quality gadgets. Compact room but a lot cleaner than my stay at The Dean.

I absolutely love the decor of the hotel and the fact it has a cinema! Incredibly unique. The bedroom was very clean and cosy but still modern which is hard to achieve so i was impressed. I think the room could do with a bin, (the bathroom had one but another in the room would have been handy). The water was also cold for the whole morning on my last day so i wasnt able to have a shower or any warm water from the taps. Which was quite an inconvenience. Especially since the room was quite pricey. But other than that, I enjoyed my stay. The breakfast was really delicious and the staff were a pleasure 😊

Hôtel haut de gamme, propre, stylé, dans un super quartier 😊 La chambre et la salle de bain hyper design, trop belle et très propre. Bar et restaurant rooth top 😊 Soirée avec DJ, super ambiance. Le quartier est animé mais pas bruyant. Tram, métro et bus à proximité donc très pratique !! Vous êtes à 15 min en Tram du quartier Temple bar et du centre de Dublin. L'hôtel est vraiment hyper bien placé. Par contre le service nul. La boisson qui devait être offerte à l'arrivée a été oublié et nous ne l'avons jamais eu. La réceptionniste qui nous a enregistré nous a fait acheter une prise adaptateur alors qu'il y en avait une dans la chambre. Le ménage n'a pas été fait dans la chambre. Le lit n'a pas été fait et les setviettes pas changées. Les tasses et verres pas remplacées elles sont restées sales sur le bureau et les capsules de café n'ont pas été réapprovisionné. Inadmissible pour un hôtel à 200 euros la nuit

Room 119 just fine but open window fresh air came with a constant hum from nearby air con piping on outside of building which we managed to sleep through. Plug hole on sink needed a clearing in order to drain which is just one of those things. Otherwise absolutely fine. Bed comfy and hotel in perfect location for us

Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und top ausgestattet! Sie sind zwar klein aber trotzdem praktisch und super aufgebaut! Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und 24 Stunden an der Rezeption aufzufinden. Es gibt mehrere kleine Supermärkte und natürlich Pubs zu Fuß in 3-10 Minuten zu erreichen. Eine Bushaltestelle ist 5 Minuten ca zu Fuß entfernt und eine Bahn in 10 Minuten. Der Dublin Express ebenso nur in 10 Minuten zu erreichen, in der Nähe der Bahnstation. Die Innenstadt ist 3 Bahnhaltestellen entfernt. Also eine top Lage! Wir würden jedes Mal wieder in dieses Hotel gehen, wirklich nur zu empfehlen! Alles top, sehr schöner Aufenthalt, sehr gepflegt! Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

I was happy with my stay here. It's not too far away from downtown if you take the Luas or the bus (get a visitor leap card!). The room was very small, but it felt comfortable anyway. Some noise from adjacent rooms but nothing terrible. The only thing lacking was storage space, but I made it work. Funnily, I think the bathroom/shower here was actually bigger and nicer than in the significantly larger hotel room I stayed in elsewhere on the next leg of my trip. Staff was also friendly and helpful when I interacted with them.

Beautiful boutique hotel that’s in a quiet, safe area but still an inexpensive cab drive away from the city center. The staff were helpful and accommodating. While the room was small (I knew this upfront) it was well laid out and I appreciated the upscale amenities like the Dyson hairdryer.

Comfortable rooms with comfortable beds but as stated by the hotel, the rooms are quite small. Staff is really nice and helpful. The rooftop and ground level bar are quite nice as well. Within walking distance of tram and bus stops. Only downside for light sleepers might be that the walls are rather thin.

La camera davvero è piccola e stretta. Il tavolo accanto al letto è in una posizione dove il rischio di farsi male è davvero elevato. Poi va beh la finestra chiusa che non si puo aprire, non è proprio l'ideale per chi è claustrofobico. In compenso il personale è accogliente, il bar è lussuoso, comunque le vetrate nei corridoi sono stilose e la veranda in cima è unica nel suo genere.

I booked the property based on economics and the look and description of it online. It was my first introduction to Dublin having flown in and instructions from staff about taking the Dublin Express. Honestly I loved everything about the property itself and I took a long walk in the neighborhood and saw it was actually a very prestigious part of Dublin based on the beautiful homes I walked past. But what I especially will remember was the light dinner I had in the lounge and breakfast the next morning.. I would definitely return to Ranlaugh over downtown Dublin. Thank you.
