Fantastic spot, Derrick was very accommodating as we were traveling with a small dog and also required a late check out. Great room, staff, and decent price. I am looking for reasons to go back.
Excellent hotel in a great location for exploring Dublin. Glad we paid for a bigger room as they are on the smaller size. Beautifully clean and breakfast was great. Staff in all areas where always polite and happy to help with any questions. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
its a fantastic location...very modern hotel..the staff at reception are always so nice..especially Stacey...always have a lovely smile and chats....but i don't drink at the bar as to there isn't any other drafts on taps...thas disappointing...
The fantastic team at Motel One Dublin do their absolute utmost to make everything about my stay to be the best it possibly can be. Every aspect is complete perfection!!
I stayed twice during my visit to Dublin. The first room was a great location, but the bed was small, not what I thought I had reserved. During my second stay, I did have a king sized bed, and the shower pressure was better. The staff was amazing during my time visiting. They accommodated any requests I made. The location was central to everything in Dublin, easily walkable to all the sights. Quiet at night, and comfortable beds.
Excellent rooms, lovely lobby wonderful staff.
Kind and friendly staff, excellent location
Absolutely amazing staff ! So kind to myself and my lil boy. They went above and beyond for us . Thank you 😊
Great location. Excellent service. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thanks to Aaron and Aoife who made our stay very enjoyable. Would have liked to have proper cups rather than disposable ones in the bedroom and glasses in the bathroom would have helped. I would return again.
Great location super clean and very friendly staff
Great staff,very friendly.Service was brilliant.Hotel ideally located,loved every minute
My review can be summarised with "I would stay again". Dublin is crazy expensive and Hotel Motel One is competitive considering that. Great location and looks upstanding. The room we got was very compact and with interior views but it did the job for a couple of nights. It was very clean and the bathroom is lovely but small. Staff was very friendly too.
Very professional service
Great location,spotless clean rooms...very friendly staff We would 100% stay here again
Hotel is in a pretty good location to Temple bar and other tourist attractions and stuff we’re very lovely.
Fantastic from start to finish x
Once again a fantastic stay in Motel One, Dublin
Quiet, clean room, not as compact as I expected and had everything I needed. The free, large bottle of sparkling water was a nice touch. A voile curtain would have been nice for privacy but the room wasn't overlooked, so not a big deal. Overall, a very positive stay and great value for money.
We had a lovely stay in Motel One Dublin! Everything perfect: facilities, position, breakfast, staff!
Nice hotel, good breakfast. Good location.
We will definitely return. Room was small but perfectly adequate. Location is excellent, in the centre of everything and on a LUAS line but bedroom glazing blocks out noise. Reception area was tastefully done. Reception staff were lovely. I can't comment on food as we didn't eat there. Overall a super place to stay.
Lovely hotel great lounge area great location excellent all around
Love staying at this hotel, staff are so friendly and accommodating! Nothing is too much trouble. Location is great and the rooms are very comfortable. Special thanks to Stacey on reception, was a pleasure dealing with her and her braids are on fire!!!
From the moment we entered Motel One the Staff were so lovely and helpful. Big shout out to Joanna and illa they really looked after us and our requests so helpful and kind we loved our stay in this hotel we thought it was fabulous really enjoyed our stay and our weekend in Dublin
Our stay was fantastic. We had booked an Airbnb in Wicklow but had a really bad experience so were looking urgently for a pet-friendly hotel and we found you guys. This was our first long stay at a hotel with our St Bernard. We got lot of support from all your staff. Megan from the front office was very helpful with the booking and check in process. She did not charge us extra for our pet as we had already had a bad day which was very thoughtful on her behalf. Aaron was so kind with feeding our dog be it making scrambled eggs or giving him ham. There were couple of other people from your team who were very supportive. I didn’t get their names. Overall a very good experience and would surely recommend you to others. Keep up the good work guys. You have a fantastic team. Wishing you all lots of success.
We love this hotel and always stay here when we visit Dublin. The only negative for this stay was that we were in room 259 and there seemed to be a loud fan noise further down the corridor which stopped us from getting a good night's sleep. Everything else was perfect and if I stay again I would request to be away from this area
Great location and excellent room and bar facilities
Great hotel and staff but it’s a shame that there is no balcony in the «special one» room category.
Great value. Historic building with parque floors. Great facilities: couch, kitchen table, kitchen equipped with refrigerator, stovetop, hot water kettle and dishwasher. Milk and cookies are supplied. Nice shelf in bathroom to put my stuff on. Heating unit in room kept it cozy and helped dry my wet clothes. Even a laundry room with free washers and dryers and soap pods r supplied on the 6th floor. That was perfect. Clean. Comfortable bed. 2 big windows with lots of light. Staff super friendly. Great location. Everything was walkable. Nit picky downsides: room could use some brighter, warmer furnishings/ decorations and some wall hangings. Trash can in bathroom is the tiniest thing I’ve ever seen! Shower caddy is useless as all your small bottles and soap fall through. Would have appreciated face cloths.
Friendly and helpful staff Central location Perfect for a short break away
As always, the staff are so welcoming and helpful! My partner and I have been staying in Dublin for work and leisure for many years- the staff at motel one exceed any we have experienced to date. In particular I would like to thank reservations manager,Joanna, who has been amazing to deal with and who makes us feel so welcome and valued as customers/guests. I have no hesitation in recommending Motel One, and in all honesty our decision to stay here regularly is based on the quality of staff and the welcome we receive. Excellent central location, comfortable rooms, amazing staff.
Great location, very clean and really helpful staff. The touch of providing umbrellas to customers is a great idea as the rain never fails to show in Ireland! The only criticism I would have, the tea and coffee facilities within the rooms isn't great, I normal cup would be appreciated, but this is a very minor point. I no doubt will revisit Ireland and will look to stay again.
Clean and fresh. Lovely staff.
Rooms too warm , not fans “apparently “ and can turn the heating below 19 degrees. Water in sink was Luke warm and very little pressure in shower , rooms are dark and lighting is very poor .
Everyone was very courteous and helpful
I have stayed here a good few times, and almost always find it excellent. Last Wed , I wasn't as happy as usual. I really don't like giving negative feedback, but a couple of things annoyed me. The bar/lounge area, which is usually spotless, was a bit grubby. There were crisps all over the floor where I was sitting, and nobody came to sweep them up. I was there over an hour. I ordered a medium glass if Shiraz, which is usually €8, , but the bar lady poured a large glass, and asked for €13.50. The large glass on the menu is €11. When I queried thus, she just said they had changed their Shiraz brand, but had not updated the menu. She offered no apology for the confusion, and I ordered a merlot instead, as I didn't like her ' Take it or leave it 'attitude. I think it ranked me, because the standard of customer service is usually so high. I will definitely continue to stay at this hotel, and would recommend it.
the hotel is close to all amenities and next to a main road and tram line, but still in a quiet area. the hotel looks fresh and modern and the reception staff was very helpful. rooms was good beds were comfy and the room service was also good. the only criticism we had was the breakfast area was a bit chaotic with not enough seating, and not always enough crockery or actual food, as these was replenished at a slower rate than they was being taken, leaving you having to sit and wait until someone could restock items.
Start to finish very good .
The stay was excellent. The people working at this hotel, from reception to housekeeping, are absolute professionals. Thank you and see you soon.
We stayed in king room at Dublin Motel One for 5 nights in March. Great location for tourists, windows tilt open for fresh air, modern esthetic, free AM coffee in lobby-not told- discovered after a few days, tea station on small desk in room, very small bare-bones room, (bed barely fits, no fridge, no bathroom amenities except soap & shampoo, no water glasses, no USB ports, no drawers/minimal storage)
Great customer service from check in to check out, nothing is too much trouble.
Our stay was fantastic as always. The staff were great! Really welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Hotel rooms were clean and tidy. My only suggestion would be to put water in the rooms.
Absolutely no issues with the room. The hotel itself is perfect and a credit to Joanna and the staff. My only recommendation is that there needs to be better TV facilities. Even if streaming apps can be added to the TV's so guests can log in or allow screen sharing from your own device
Great location, rooms are tight but functional, 2nd visit in as many months and will be back, great staff and very pleasant each and everyone of them.
Stacey was amazing and gave us an early check in! She was so informative and friendly upon our arrival.
Excellent location; on tramline however the sound of the tram was never an issue, a block from Ha'penny bridge, close to Temple Bar and many great food shops around.
Very welcoming and staff very friendly and most helpful. The decor and layout of the hotel is really appealing and its great that you can get your own food delivered and sit at the tables to eat. The location is perfect ! I have stayed a couple of times and will go back next visit again. The rooms are a bit small however if its only to sleep in its perfect and there is everything you need at hand. Excellent quality for price.
Excellent location. Short walk to temple bar area but nice and quiet.
Great stay, perfect location and very clean room. Friendly staff
We used booking.com to secure our room and there were disagreements regarding payment. We paid booking.com IN FULL prior to our stay. Upon check-in, we were not made aware of any payment issues. We came back to the room after a day of travel to find we had been locked-out by front desk staff and were not permitted access to the room or our belongings until we paid the balance on our room directly to the hotel. WE HAD ALREADY PAID. Nothing was done to support us during this. In fact, we were scolded for using booking.com and were advised to book directly through MotelOne in the future. We were treated like criminals who were going to scam the hotel, when we had ALREADY PAID. We will NEVER book again. Why would you offer booking through another platform and then SCOLD guests when they use it. That only reflects bad on YOUR COMPANY. No resolution was provided and we were told WE would have to figure out what occurred. I showed the receptionist the CLEARLY paid booking email.
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.
