Anne Ireland

great location, very clean and comfortable with plenty of character excellent service in accommodating our early arrival polite friendly hotel team

Martyn United Kingdom

Great location in a lively part of Dublin. Great eating place nearby. And perfect for bus, LUAS or Dart. This is an old hotel in the best sense - hospitable, welcoming and full of lovely staff who are prepared to go the extra mile for their guests. Comfortable room. It isn't pretentious. Nicely decorated, clean and warm. Great fire in the main reception which was welcome on a cold and drizzly day. Nice bar and lounge area too. But it is the staff who made the visit for us. Friendly and thoughtful.

Marie United Kingdom

The ambience, the architectural style of the building, and the smiley staff.

Marion United Kingdom

Love the location, the atmospere of old world comfort and the friendly staff

I think Buswells is badged as 3 star but my impression was that it is rather better than that. It is quite traditional in style, with a lot of wood panelling, but furniture and furninshings were all of excelent quality and in good condition, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is on the corner of Kildare street, mere metres from a bus stop for direct bus services including the Aircoach 700 to the airport, and several Dublin Bus routes across the city.

Megson United Kingdom

Fabulous location. Delightful staff. Stunning room with excellent bed and amenities. Such a lot of character unlike many bland chain hotels.
