Motel One was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Also it is located perfectly in the center of all the action. The room could do with more storage space. The breakfast had a good selection of food we were over all very happy.
I have staued in this hotel many times, and love the ambience in the bar area. The staff are very friendly . The hotel is clean and th3 rooms well appoinred and comfortable. I would highly reccomend this hotel.
Absolutely great hotel, staff are so accommodating. We asked for a lower level floor upon check in, and the staff were so happy to help, I also took ill over the trip and the kind reception staff allowed us extra time in our room after check out so I could rest for longer which was so appreciated and made our travel day home so much easier especially when feeling so unwell. Location is fantastic for the city, everywhere is walkable. And close to all transport systems. We can’t wait for our next stay, definitely found our new hotel for our yearly Dublin breaks. Thank you for such a lovely stay with amazing staff and amenities.
Not enough storage, or hangers or shelves. Bathroom amenities very basic. But Location is excellent!! Would come back for that fact.
Had a great time at the hotel.
This felt like the smallest, most cramped hotel room (and bathroom) we've stayed in when in Dublin (and we visit 3-5 times a year) and the water flow/shower head angle made for a fruatrating shower. We had stayed in your Glasgow hotel and found that good but would only stay again with you if we struggled to get accommodation anywhere else.
We had our 2nd stay at Motel one …. The rooms are fabulous and the staff really friendly . Meghan you are a star ! Janet such a warm friendly person. We are looking to be back much sooner than expected . Brilliant ! THANKYOU Motel One
Brilliant location within minutes of temple Bar and shopping areas such as Grafton Street also close to main tourist attractions Trinity College etc - Rooms are well equipped- staff are friendly and helpful - a must stay when visiting the Capital - I would highly recommend it
Motel One as always is the perfect hotel, in the perfect location, with excellent rooms & facilities and has the friendliest & most helpful staff from the reception right through to the housekeeping staff. I would like to give a special mention to Joanna who looks after our bookings and is brilliant. First Class Hotel.
Appreciated the friendly, helpful staff. It was a very clean hotel, and the breakfast was very nice.
great stay at motel one - stayed a few weeks ago and had a great time too. brilliant location, great staff, and the bar is excellent. only dislike is the bathroom doors wont stay open!
The room was clean and comfortable. Excellent position close to the city centre. Very good stay, highly recommended.
Great clean hotel, super easy to book and great systems.
This hotel is located in the heart of Dublin within walking distance to more or less everything worth seeing. It is in a quiet area, the rooms are rather small but very clean and functional. Worth every cent!
Very accommodating, looked after our luggage whilst waiting for our flight, would definitely use your chain again!
Miguel was the best
Very central location with lovely area to sit out for drink /coffee. In the heart of activity. Staff all excellent. Extremely helpful. "Nothing is a problem " there. They really want you to enjoy your stay and will do whatever to make that happen.
Lovely hotel, lovely staff, great loction
Super easy check in. Clean room. Great location !
Lovely hotel in a perfect location
Rooms were perfect with everything required. Towels a little worn however so not very soft. Main hotel well kept. All staff very approachable and helpful. Breakfast was hit and miss in getting space to sit and eat - especially as a group of 6 wanting to sit together.
Very friendly staff, perfect location, best breakfast!
Our stay at Motel One Dublin was great. Checking in was seamless the reception was kind and friendly with a group of eight we did it under 10 minutes. The rooms were clean and the public bathroom on the main floor was clean also. The best part was the bar and public lounge area. It was furnished perfectly for all and with enough space. The Bar being open 24 hrs really caters to all travelers coming in at different times. The Bar staff were friendly and attentive. Motel One has really figured out Travelers needs and customer service!!!
Very nice, clean and central hotel, fantastic breakfast, everything super!
The receptionists don‘t know much about the city. Googleing yourself is faster and more helpful. The bar is a joke as the bartenders don‘t know how to make most of the drinks on the menu or don‘t have basic ingredients in stock. There are not enough seats for the guests eating breakfast.
Clean staff were lovely and polite also answered any questions asked they were very accommodating, we would return to this motel again. Thank you Jill
we really like the concept of Motel one and have stayed at other properties - it is so easy and comfortable and the staff has always been very nice
I really like all the staff at the reception, they're always really nice. Rooms are perfectly clean.
I got charged twice, as the online payment was not available on check in to the reception team
Nice and welcoming staff, clean environment and room, doesnt feel like å motel, its better!
Fabulous staff, friendly and very helpful. Comfy bed, great blackout curtains, and so grateful for real windows you can open to let the air in. Thank you
Lovely hotel in a great city centre location. Friendly and courteous staff. Rooms while small are functional and spotlessly clean. Have no hesitation recommending.
We arrived from Louisiana jet lagged and feeling a bit lost. The staff did everything they could to get us into our rooms early. Both rooms were clean, and had nice accommodations. I especially liked the view of the city from our window. The location was convenient for everything our family wanted to see, and check in/checkout was a breeze.
We were a group of 5 and all got into our rooms prior to check in time which was great. Rooms were good and quiet. Really liked the bar area.
Great value for money comfortable clean great experience
City centre location with friendly and helpful staff Rooms are clean and tidy Ideal for a break away
Fabulous hotel. Ideal location in the city centre. Staff were lovely and very helpful.
Beautiful hotel. Staff were excellent. Top class location. Hotel ticks all boxes.
This is my go-to hotel in Dublin - perfectly located; friendly and helpful staff; well-appointed and comfy beds. Lovely breakfast spread. Just a 20-minute walk from Connolly Station.
We use Motel One in Dublin regularly as a company. We keep coming back as the experience is always top class. The rooms are always spotless, the staff extremely helpful and cheery, the location is ideal, and the price of the rooms quite competitive. Joanna the front office and reservations manager is very professional and accommodating. Highly recommended!
Really good hotel in a great location
Thank you for a great stay. Staff welcoming and friendly. Hotel great with a central location
I stayed at the Motel One with my date and we had such a fantastic time there. We were warmly greeted by the reception staff and they were very helpful and provided us with late check-out. Massive thanks to Eve who was working the night we were staying, on the 24th of July, she was incredibly helpful in arranging late check-out, providing recommendations of museums and tourist attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel bar and the service was fantastic. We loved chatting with you Eve and overall her hospitality and kindness was much appreciated. We look forward to returning in the future and would highly recommend the motel one for the fantastic staff and the experience they provide. Regards, Adrian Balthazar
Thank you!! Clean and great attention from staff
Very pleasant ,nice and clean great staff
Great property, great location and professional service.
Room on rhe small side for 2 tourists with large bags. No USB charge points.
Staff was wonderful, breakfast always fresh and all areas including rooms very clean. It is centrally located just a stones throw away from Ha’Penny bridge. It is very walkable, lots of places to shop and eat as well as close to many tourist attractions. Also, it’s very close to pick up locations to many bus tours/trips. Ten minute walks to Tara Street Station for the Dart trips out of the city. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and will be using this hotel chain for future trips abroad. Thanks for being a part of our vacation!
Motel one is in a brilliant location right on the luas line - the staff are friendly and helpful- we dealt with a lady by the name of Joanne who was excellent and made the whole process very easy and informative we Will definitely be back and would recommend the hotel to others
To be honest, we literally only used the hotel for a bed. We were attending the All Hurland Final so we checked in at 11.30 and the room was ready. We were only planning on dropping of our bags, so that was a big bonus that it was ready. Check in was speedy and the guy was friendly. I cant really comment ont the bar or restaurant area as we didnt use it. It look good from reception area
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.
