Dublin City Inn Talbot Street  

We arrived 7 hours before check in due to a very early flight, and had requested an early check in, but as the hotel was full we didnt expect to get one, but we dropped our bags at the hotel and went for a wander, and were contacted a couple of hours later to say we could get in our room, which was great 5 hrs early. Very efficient and very much appreciated. Reception staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good, but a little confusing, it appeared to be self service with the hot food in heated servers in the dining room, but we were quickly rebuffed, as were other people, when we attempted to open the servers to get food, and told to wait to be served. We would have done this but after waiting 15mins to be asked we assumed we served ourselves. A notice would have been helpful so people knew what to do. The rooms were very very basic, but adequate. The shower spoiled by the fact there was a curtain (which kept sticking to ur legs) to replace a broken glass door in the cubicle, the shower itself was one of the best showers i have ever had, very hot and very powerful. The hotel wasn't particularly noisy as some reviews infer, and we were on the main street. And we didn't have much internal noise from other guests either. Location fab for shopping malls, Grafton St, Temple Bar, plus lots of traditional bars and restaurants locally to hotel. Would definetly stay here again, best value i could find in central Dublin.

Some of the staff were a little sharp, and could communicate a bit more effectively, but maybe language barrier was an issue? It was a little old fashioned and run down, eg. shower curtain, curtain rails broken and curtain rings mis-matched, decoration tired. Was clean on the surface of things but could do with a good thorough clean around carpet edges, top of wardrobes etc.? Room very small, wasn't a problem to us cos we only slept there but alot of guests were complaining about this.

It is a great location very close to everything the staff where very friendly

The rooms are clean but could be updated a bit the televisions are really out dated and need to be modernised a bit

Location and price. Pleasant breakfast room. Good wifi. Nice seating room for guests.

Bad ventilation in the very small bathroom, not even possible to leave the door open (on a spring hinge) - been like that for a long time I guess as it smelt of damp. Very thin wall - every arrival / departure in the corridor wakes you up (late at night and early in the morning). Sound from the street in a busy neighbourhood I can accept (and it wasnt so bad) but noise in neighbouring rooms and corridor very irritating (especially when you're tired from lack of sleep!). Scrambled egg at breakfast more like blamange than egg - to be avoided!

The location was excellent.Staff were very helpful and accomadating.Breakfast was exceptional.Location so close to whatever you decide to do.Such a shame they do not have a residents bar,which would make it the place to stay whatever your reason.All that apart it is a very customer friendly hotel.Shame about the small room.All in all we loved it.

We cannot complain about anything except the lack of residents bar but there is a cracking bar 2mins up the street.Well done all at the Dublin City Inn.

Excellent value, nice room, friendly helpful staff and free wifi
