The location in the city is quite good. Close enough to everything. I like the Motel One vibe and ambiance with the choice of interior design and colours. The breakfast is good, certainly for that price. The only comment I would make about the size of the room. It feels quite small for the room rate which gave me a bit of a cramped feeling, certainly also in the bathroom. Staff is very friendly. I have stayed with Motel One before in other cities and we have already booked another stay in another city.
Excellent experience with Motel One Dublin. Great communication from staff & great room!
Amazing central spot in Dublin, great breakfast, great room and also Super Staff! An extra THANK YOU TO MEGAN AND JUAN! They have been great! Super helpful!
The experience was amazing. The room was really clean and neat. The location of the hotel was really convenient. No noise and AC was working fine. Can’t wait to come back!
Have stayed here several times never fails to disappoint. Lovely hotel. Staff lovely belt and helpful. Hotel very central and clean. Highly recommend
Hi I can honstly say that Motel One is the best hotel to stay in in every aspect. The staff are the very best one could wish for staying in a hotel. Very friendly and very welcoming. Thank you very much for another wonderful stay. John Hyland and Hugo
Average room at premium price, rude housekeeping staff. Noisy neighbours & after 10pm you have to buzz & wait to return home. Which takes far too long for someone to arrive.
Wonderful hotel located in a walking distance of all the sites, foods and drinks. Excellent staff , modern rooms and large central bar lounge area.
Lovely hotel, great location, comfortable beds, very little noise from street
My stay was very enjoyable, no complaints besides the fact the breakfast hadn’t any hot food. Besides, my stay was perfect.
Everything was clean and tidy, staff were friendly and the hotel itself was quite nice! Would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone going to Dublin. My only issue is that the safe in my room did not work, I reported this on the first day but not sure if it was looked at (It remained in a broken state). Luckily I was travelling with my colleague who was in a room next to mine so was able to use his safe for my passport etc.
Very good experience. Everyone was friendly and ready to help on purpose.
Lovely place, friendly staff, cozy room. See you in November :)
Excellent hotel great staff and in a great location in the city just off O Connell street.
Friendly staff and easy check in. Rooms were made available early too which really helped.
Friendly staff / great location
A great experience, cosy place. Smiling, sociable staf. For sure I will choose Motel One in my future trips.
Overall a good experience. Reception couldn't answer a simple query. She told us to Google it. Also we asked to weigh our bag and the handscale was apparently broke - hence the 8 points
Rooms are a little small. A fridge would be nice.
Very nice hotel with friendly staff. The room was very clean and cozy. Breakfast was very good. Excellent location!
Clean comfortable friendly and efficient.
for the location it was an amazing price....couldnt fault it. well done you guys
Friendly, modern, comfortable and great location
The staff are very friendly and helpful, the room nicely decorated and was impeccably cleaned. Hotel is in a great location. Duvet a bit thin (I could probably have asked for an extra duvet or cover). I do know you serve continental breakfast, but would have been fabulous if there were some bacon or sausages.
Fantastic hotel staff very friendly and welcoming great location
The staff at the reception are so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good and room clean…couldn’t ask for more really!
Everything was realy nice, clean room and good service. The only thing we missed was warm food for breakfast, scrambled egg and bacon.
- unfortunately -however independent of the Hotel- late at night the street swiping machine makes considerable annoying noise louder than the luasline, otherwise room just fine - when booking with the App lately regularly a system/network error comes up, that then vanishes when simply retrying during the process - still a blood pressure enhancing event :)
I had a really nice time and special thanks to Eva on receiption (I think thats her name! Or Evie?) who was extremely helpful with allowing me to check in a little earlier and out a little later.
Very comfortable, a call out to Paloma at reception/check in who was exceptional.
Motel One. Five star check in experience with Aoife at reception . She was reassuring and charming . The two room allocation was made in the spot according to our traveller needs. The location is incredible for shopping and going out . The ambience is calm and friendly . I love the continental self-service breakfast . This is ease and efficiency . Good value. Will definitely stay again . Great staff
This was a standard room, nothing special but clean and neat. We only stayed one night, but the location would have been good for sightseeing. The only down side was the tram noise right outside the hotel. It went on until about 11 PM. Just be aware of this if you plan to keep the windows open. The standout was the young man at the front desk who checked us in. He was extremely pleasant and provided excellent service.
Well positioned near Dublín city main points of interest / staff ok / breakfast really good/pillows not so good
My stay was comfortable and staff extremely friendly!
The only concern was regarding the room windows. This detail was not clarified at the time of booking. The stay was a brief getaway for an anniversary, and the window view consisted of a building wall. Considering the cost of $730 for two nights, the experience did not meet expectations. There are many other hotels to select from. Hotel stuff were excellent
Reception was fantastic
There is a always a warm welcome here! Excellent service as always, cannot compliment the team at Motel one Dublin enough. From reservations, bar/lobby to front Desk, everyone is a pleasure to deal with and always happy to help and make our stay a pleasant one. Thanks for looking after us! Mark
Great location, staff really friendly. Hotel was impressive, will be looking to stay in other locations based on this visit
Very central and parking close by. Also great value for money
Location is excellent. Staff great. Ambiance very good. Room amennitties very poor. Room size very small. Food facilities non existant. Room service non available, really? The hotel looks more like a modern Pub rather than a hotel. You have to pay separetly at the bar and cannot have bar charges applied to the room. This is very inconvenient for business people like me. I always give my corporate card at the time to check in and have all charges charged to the card, without the need to pay for every single drink that I ordered. For my next trip to Dublin next month I dont think that I will stay in this hotel, I will find a hotel that offers all the above.
Enjoyable in a word. For me the bed has to be good and it was, full marks for that nice room good shower well pleased.
A very stylish hotel, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Perfect location, set back on a quiet side street. But close to all Dublin has to offer. Tram outside the entrance. Temple Bar area just a short walk over the Ha’penny Bridge.
Dane on reception was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. A pleasure to deal with. As usual, I enjoyed my stay., especially as the rate was very reasonable. Location is great, and I love the ambience in the lounge area. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent city centre hotel. Doing everything well. Great value on a tuesday night.
Facilities in room could be better. Paper cups leak, bottled water, more milk portions
good location, clean hotel, very good breakfast, comfortable bed
I was traveling in Ireland for the first time. I have not been in Europe since 1979. I was unaware of the custom of using a room key to operate the lights. I went into a pitch dark hotel room and when I tried to turn on the lights I thought something was wrong with the room. I opened the door to the hall and managed to see that I needed to put the room key in to work them. I found it very unfriendly to have a dark room with no lights. It would have been helpful to receive a heads up. My daughter had to actually come down to the lobby to get instructions on how to work her lights.
Room excellent, (however overlooking the top of the parking house is somewhat daunting)
Nice clean rooms brilliant location great for a weekend trip.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating on arrival - the hotel room and hotel was very clean and well maintained - the hotel is in a great location in the city for shopping/ eating out etc
Switch on. beOne.

Hotels in Dublin
Following in the footsteps of James Joyce
Picturesque streets, bright red brick buildings, the captivating sound of pipes – Dublin is pure poetry. It’s no wonder that the literary greats feel so at home here. James Joyce in particular was fond of the Irish capital. His declaration of love? ‘When I die, Dublin will be written on my heart.’ It’s not for nothing that he dedicated an entire collection of short stories to the city of the shamrock – and with great success.
To this day, Dubliners is considered a masterpiece of Irish literature. But there are other poets and thinkers who also fell helplessly under the spell of Ireland’s charm, among them Jonathan Swift, Sean O’Casey, Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett. Dublin well deserves its UNESCO title of City of Literature.

A Harry Potter welcome
Narrow winding streets, quaint pubs, Gothic churches – Dublin’s old town looks as though it could have been taken from a Harry Potter film. Even Trinity College looks remarkably similar to Hogwarts. The prestigious university has sat enthroned in the heart of the Irish capital since 1592 and has produced a great number of creative minds, from Jonathan Swift to Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett. How many hours are they likely to have spent poring over books in the Long Room? But young students certainly don’t come to this time-honoured part of the Trinity College library just to learn. Book a guided tour of the Long Room and enjoy hearing amusing anecdotes about the student life of Oscar Wilde and his fellow alumni.
Harry Potter would feel just as comfortable in Temple Bar as at Trinity College. In this lively district with its narrow cobblestone streets, Dublin shows its party side, with Irish pubs lined up one after the other. And the best thing is that in the evening, the traditional Irish pubs transform into concert venues. After all, a pint of Guinness tastes all the better when it’s accompanied by live music.
Speaking of Guinness: anyone with a weakness for the Irish stout shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the Guinness Museum. Take a look back at the beer’s 250-year history and get to know the culinary heart of Dublin a little better. And after the theory, of course, comes the practice. Round off your visit to the museum with a chilled Guinness in the Gravity Bar and enjoy breathtaking views of the city at the same time. Sláinte!
But now it’s back to Dublin’s incredible Harry Potter backdrop: St. Patrick’s Cathedral is an absolute must-see. Its namesake gave us the famous St. Patrick’s Day, which is celebrated every year on 17 March – in Ireland’s national colour, green, of course. Legend has it that Dublin’s national cathedral was built based on a small chapel from the fifth century where St. Patrick himself baptised people with holy water. Had enough history? Then the small park right next to St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the perfect place to relax.
