I love Motel One. Joanna on Front Desk is an absolute pleasure. She is the best person in any hotel I have worked with in Ireland, or anywhere. She is my favourite. The hotel is perfect. The location is unbeatable. Thank you for all you do for me and my tour groups.
Clean, great location, wonderful breakfast. And staff was helpful.
Hotel is very nicely presented. Staff very nice. Unfortunately the aircon unit in my room was very loud and kept flashing an error message. The breakfast was very expensive and limited, especially because I have an allergy, some fresh fruit would have been nice. The expense could have been because I booked late though.
The staff was so friendly and accommodating! The hotel was clean and I felt safe and it was close to everything. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
We had a lovely time all the staff are loverly through out the hotel. When having breakfast Jannet and Megan made the experience great
Excellent hotel in a great location. The staff were all very helpful, particularly Miguel at reception who could not have done any more to help us. We will definitely return.
Friendly staff, clean room and easy access to city centre
Staff were all friendly and very helpful.
Absolutely brilliant location and very sleek and stylish hotel. The bed was insanely comfy!
Due to flight changes, we arrived at the hotel at 4:30am and the front desk was quick and helpful! Breakfast had a huge variety and my room was very cute!
Front desk staff was very helpful with contacting airlines about lost luggage and delivery. Enjoyed breakfast especially the croissants.
Perfect location for sightseeing Dublin. Very nice and quiet rooms, no issues with traffic or other visitors. Excellent continental breakfast, recommend!
Approachable and friendly staff on the front desk. We were able to leave our bags that were secured away whilst exploring Dublin before checking in, which we were able to do early. Rooms are nice and clean and have everything you need. Rooms on the smaller side compared to a standard hotel room, but bed was still big and still had small bedside storage and a tv on the wall. Able to opens windows and air con/heating unit was great. The mattress was on the firmer side, probably too firm for my liking but still a good nights sleep with comfortable pillows. The bathroom was nice and bright and spacious with a good sized shower. Due to our short stay we opted for no cleaning but was able to ask at reception for clean towels, etc, which were placed on our bed when we arrived back to our room later that day. Lifts were always quick and huge bar/restaurant area which was reasonably priced. I would have liked there to be actual coffee mugs in the rooms, rather than small paper cups but this still worked. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would return.
Everything was absolutely amazing. Location, breakfast, cleanliness, air conditioning, room size, bed size and comfort, staff friendliness. Comfortable room. Not loud at all. A very relaxing stay.
We stayed at the Motel One in Dublin for an extended period in June with our three children for the Dance World Championship. We have never experienced such great service and such nice staff before. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience.
Very nice friendly hotel in the heart of Dublin city. Staff very friendly helpful. Nice bar with seated outdoor area.
Wonderful stay beautiful rooms
I stayed here recently with my partner and we both loved it. After an early flight we went to the hotel to drop off our bags and were able to check in early which was greatly appreciated. The bed was comfy, air conditioning worked well and the room was very quiet. The location is excellent within Dublin and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to visit easily. We would highly recommended to anyone visiting Dublin. Thank you for a great stay!
Handy location Hates the paper cups to have morning tea in room (not very environmentally friendly) Clean
As always, everything was great. Zlata and Gary were a wonderful team at reception.
The hotel is centralised and accessible to every thing. The restaurants and shopping centre. Everything was good except you have to improve with the housekeeping.
Nice hotel, small room, not a good smell from the wc
Miguel was Really Nice and helpful :)
I really enjoyed the bar.\n The staff was very friendly. The room was God.
We had a lovely stay there with our dog. Staff were very laid back and nice to us. Area is a little bit sketchy but the hotel is lovely and funky and relaxed once you get inside. Nice clean room and lovely hand soap in the bathroom :)
You’ve made me a customer for life . Your Dublin location is superb. And a very warm and welcoming staff. Juan and the new trainee were exceptional.
Have stayed a few times and have nothing negative to say about the place! Conveniently located and spotlessly maintained! Would highly recommended.
Great location, friendly staff and everything was clean and comfortable.
We stayed here for 1 night while attending an event in Dublin fabulous hotel. Its in the centre but the hotel is quiet we stayed on the 4th floor. Room very clean. Staff friendly and buffet breakfast fab. Definitely would recommend this hotel. The only downside is there is only Guinness available on draught so it would be good to have 1 or 2 more options for a pint
The size of the room and the total absence of any place for clothes is unacceptable
Super Hotel
Excellent hotel, great location, friendly staff, great breakfast. Thank you
Very comfy and clean environment at an affordable price.
Everything was perfect,we would like to thank especially from reception Juan who was very helpful.
The location is excellent for exploring the city, within walking distance of almost everything in Dublin and just a few steps from the bridge crossing the river into the Temple Bar area. Parking can be challenging if you are driving, but the hotel recommended a car park right next door, inside the department store. It was certainly convenient, although as expensive as you might expect for such a central location! Still, it was by far the easiest option for us. Check-in and check-out were both very easy and smooth, and the reception staff were friendly and professional. The room was very well designed, comfortable and practical. The bathroom was also nicely designed, although the water pressure was rather low. The breakfast buffet was good in terms of quality, and we particularly appreciated that many of the products were locally sourced. However, there is some room for improvement. The layout of the buffet area is not particularly practical, with plates and cutlery located underneath the food counter, making things quite difficult during busy breakfast hours. The selection was also a little limited, with not many options for international guests or those with specific dietary requirements. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay, with an excellent location, friendly staff and a well-designed room.
Excellent location , very clean had no problems at all
Amazing staff - always super helpful on the front desk especially Joanna and Aoife.
Megan on reception was the nicest most helpful person I have ever come across in a hotel - and I travel slot for both business and pleasure . She tried her very best to resolve an AC issue for me and accommodated me very well with my requested changes . A total asset to the company . Sadly the AC issue wasn’t resolved my whole stay - but I was offered a different room - but I liked where I was so I just put up with it .
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.
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.
