Brooks Hotel  

Staff was very helpful. Hotel was nice, clean and more "American" than many others we stayed on this trip, which made it more comfortable for us. My husband participated in an Irish Whiskey Tasting at the bar one night which he enjoyed. Restaurant is nice and they can serve large crowds quickly in the morning even if a bus tour is leaving! We had an early flight and needed breakfast before the standard time, so they allowed us to eat with a tour group that was checking out early also.

The hotel is just outside one of the main shopping districts, so it's within walking distance of all the fun. However, the street it is on is not the nicest. We did not have any problems, but I was very uncomfortable walking back after dark. This was my biggest concern with this hotel. Even during the day it isn't a very nice street to walk on. Parking is also somewhat of an issue; although they have an arrangement with the garage across the street, sometimes it is very full and I noticed signs indicating it closes later at night.

Location vis a vis city etc is good, staff were friendly and helpful (with exceptions as below), food was fine.

On first stay, location of our room was poor, too close to an all-night car park, whose patrons insisted on singing (badly)- probably drunk- while returning to their cars as late as 3 or 4 am. This does not help with sleeping. Hot water system was a problem: temperature was stuck at a max of 40 degrees c, making a "hot" shower impossible, and staff did not respond to requests to attend to it. On second stay, a week later, had a far superior room with none of the above problems, but am still to find a place in Ireland where every electrical connection works! And, a request for a wake-up call for 4.45 am should be taken literally, not as meaning around 5 am.

Convenience of location and comfort.

Being charged 5 euro for a travel toothbrush.

Could not fault the staff or the hotel, fantastic location we have stayed there before and will definately stay there again if we visit Dublin.

In general the prices in Dublin are very high.

Excellent staff. Good comfortable rooms. Good food. Good quiet location. Covenient to shops and sights. Easy parking. It is a very nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The concierge was one of the most helpful and welcoming we have met in a long time both in Ireland and europe. The bar staff were excelent and helpful and served food and drink with minimal fuss and cheerful disposition. We have placed Brooks on our shortlist for Dublin hotels and would have no problem recommending it to our friends.

No complaints about the hotel. But parking is expensive if you arrive before 5.30pm.

This hotel is very nice,we went for a show which was within walking distance,car park just across the street and shopping a short walk.

The bed was a little bit firm

The friendly staff, and it's very central - but not noisy - location in the heart of Dublin, less than 5 minutes walk from Grafton Street, Temple Bar and the bus stops for the city tour and airlink services. The restaurant is expensive - but then so are many in Dublin! This was probably the quietest hotel I have ever stayed in. Not a pin drop did we hear during the night....and that wasn't because we'd had too many pints of Guinness!

Apart from the bar and restaurant prices being expensive (both of which we did not use) this hotel was great

The location was excellent for walking around the best part of the city. The hotel was wonderful and pretty and clean. Great staff and the breakfasts werer great.

central location, quiet and peaceful. relaxed athnosphere. nice staff

Fantastic location close to shops and Temple Bar. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had a standard room which was quite a large size. Would stay there again .

Very small fry for breakfast

City centre location was excellent. For a little bit extra (€10), breakfast was really good.

The view of the car park!

Consistent high standard and excellent central location.Local car parking opposite also helps.
