The Hendrick Smithfield

Enjoyed my stay here.Location was very good, main areas and room was clean. Walls are thin, and guests can be a little noisy near lifts but on the whole, the hotel was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful.

A very comfortable stay, easy to travel around, some great spots nearby!

Very nice and helpful staff with everything we asked about, which goes for all the Irish people. Nice and clean hotel on the inside with a convenient distance from the Temple Bar area, even at night, but otherwise there are plenty of taxis in town. We had chosen a room without breakfast, but ate it at the hotel anyway. It cost €16:50 per person, a little too expensive but time is money and still a tasty breakfast. Could be a queue at the slow coffee machine. Boring detail with architect-designed rooms that there are no shelves to put socks, underwear etc on, makes a mess in the suitcase but maybe just a first world problem? We had problems with the power last night when the card slipped in the holder but solved it by inserting both cards (worked with one card the morning after, room 504 if Hendrick wants to look at it :) Would love to come back to the Hendrick or choose a hotel closer to the city area, but not the Temple Bar area with all it's noisy hustle and bustle.

Room was spotlessly clean, tea and coffee making facilities were great and replenished daily, and the bed was so comfortable! Great stay

Rooms are basic and in need of a freshen up of paint, there was a bit of a smell from the sewers in the ensuite but facilities were good and a male member of staff at breakfast (I didn't catch his name) was very helpful and courteous. The cafe area where breakfast is served is very relaxed and nice to sit in.
