loved the fact it was an old school house building lovingly brought back for a second life as a hotel and restaurant

Kevin United States of America

The location is perfect and breakfast was very good

Dr United Arab Emirates

Schoolhouse hotel is a beautiful historic hotel in a great area that's a 20-minute walk to the city center. The room was so cozy and welcoming, and all the staff members were terrific. We took advantage of the gastro pub downstairs, and we were pleasantly surprised by the food quality and the cocktails!

Alisha United States of America

Beautiful property with gorgeous rooms and a lovely restaurant.

Laura United Kingdom

Love the beds & pillows, coffee amenities, quietness. Sparkling water a great touch for me. Staff very nice & professional.

Mary United States of America

Wonderful place, great atmosphere and staff. The location is very central and accessible.

Gil Canada

This hotel is lovely. We really appreciated the way the hotel was decorated. It respected the hotels past as a school without being gimmicky. Our room, which was on the first floor ( but a floor down from reception) had sliders that went outside to a small table and chairs. The location is in a wonderful part of Dublin and right along side a canal.

Brian United States of America

The building is beautiful. The breakfast was excellent, though the to-go breakfast was dismal.

Charla United States of America

The property was cozy and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. The restaurant at the property was excellent.

Harber United States of America

it is located in a quiet neighbourhood within walking distance of the city centre. I had a bad fall while sightseeing and the hotel staff member Carolina was extremely helpful in getting us help and lots of ice.
