Overall experience excellent (just coincidentally room 650 seems a bit intimidated by the parking house next building)
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Motel One, and we must say, the experience was largely delightful. From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff greeted me with warmth and efficiency — exactly the kind of service one hopes for after a long journey. The room was immaculate, the overall ambiance was charming, and the location was simply perfect for exploring the city at our leisure. However, we do feel compelled to address one area that fell slightly short of my expectations, breakfast. For a property of this caliber, we anticipated a more generous spread. What was offered felt rather modest: a limited selection of cold cuts, a few varieties of cheese, boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, assorted breads, some pastries. While perfectly adequate I was surprised to find no hot options whatsoever no omelettes, no scrambled eggs, there was no bacon, sausages, the kind of warm, satisfying start to the day that one simply expects at a four-star establishment. We do intend to return, as the overall experience was genuinely lovely. I sincerely hope the breakfast offering will be elevated to match the otherwise high standard of this charming property.
great location, rooms were clean and bed was comfy. made use of the great bar and breakfast facilities. Staff were fantastic also
Great location, really helpful and friendly staff, entire hotel was clean and well maintained (felt very new). Happy with our rooms but perhaps a little smaller than I was expecting. It was very quiet though and immaculate. Only issue was how busy it was at breakfast. Breakfast itself was great but on 2 out of 3 occasions we struggled to find a table for three of us and ended up on the lounge chairs in the bar area. Aside from this though, all good.
Excellent experience overall
Great location, nice and modern facilities. Clean rooms and friendly reception staff. All we needed to explore Dublin for a couple of days. Only thing we wanted for in the room was an ironing board and iron or a clothes steamer and a second rubbish bin for the bedroom not just one in bathroom. Would recommend to others.
Great value, fantastic location perfect rooms
Great staff, great location, comfortable and clean rooms
The location is great, the staff is friendly, my only issue was that our air-conditioning in our room was broken so for three nights we had a pretty rough night sleep because it was quite hot as it was a heat wave in Dublin. we did ask for it to get fixed on our second night and it didn’t . We’re not sure if it was attempted to get fixed or not but when we tried to put the air on when we came back, it still had an error message.We’ve stayed at several Motel One around Europe and we stayed at this Motel One before. we traveled with friends this time and we got them to book at this location as well. It would’ve been a perfect experience if it wasn’t for the air-conditioning.
Excellent hotel. Very clean , staff very friendly and helpful and the location was superb
Excellent stay. Very friendly and efficient staff. Hotel is in a great location.
As usual - does not matter which city - very nice stay. Clean hotel, nice staff, good location, comfy beds
Excellent service.
Great value for no nonsense, clean, and comfortable hotel room. Trustworthy staff too. I forgot my work computer in the lounge and after half hour it was still in the lobby. Joanna or someone at the front desk retrieved it as I called her from the airport and she put it away in her office for me to pick up. Breakfast is good, through the Munich and NYC offerings at other Motel One hotels exceeds the Dublin one.
excellent service as always, thank you Would consideration be given to expanding food options in the evening? Even to include salads
The front desktop people are amazing and helpful.
Location was perfect but was surprised that there were no amenities at all, not even glass for your toothbrush. There was just a hand wash and shower gel and 2 bath towels. I asked for hand towels and got those. Also when I asked about Uber, I was directed to a bus stop across the road with a large crowd of people waiting. This is not what I expect on vacation, especially for the price.
Great staff.
The hotel was clean and stylish. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location was perfect.
The room was clean, quiet, and energy efficient. The staff was kind, courteous, and helpful. The breakfast was excellent.
Hotel was in a very good location close enough to Temple Bar to enjoy the night life but completely silent at night. Room was well decorated and the bed very comfy. The only improvement I would recommend is draws in the room for storing small items but that’s it. I would 100% spray here again.
Fantastic welcome and help from reception, room as always was very clean and the amenities were wonderful.
Nice property in the heart of downtown Dublin
We loved the location of Motel One, and the place is very clean and nice, great bar and lounge area. The front desk staff was great, too -- Dominick was super friendly and helpful when we had questions, which we appreciated, and which, of course, means we would stay there again if we return.
The room was compact but very clean and well kept. The bed is big and very comfortable as well as air con which worked well and tea an coffee making available in the room and the lobby area if big and comfortable. I was a little disappointed in the breakfast. No hot food items apart form boiled eggs as was continental. Still a good choice of bagels and cold meats but personally i always like something hot in the morning for breakfast so even if it wasn't a full hot breakfast selection maybe along with the hard boiled eggs some sausages or bacon to make it more appealing.
Brilliant hotel
We loved our stay, friendly staff, comfy bed and lovely hotel. Thank you!
Bed was comfy and bathroom was modern, clean and well organised. The bits that didn't meet my expectations: Towel too small, too thin Sign posting for using stairs too difficult and takes ages waiting for lifts! Mirror above desk too high Pegs and hangers on walls is cheap Why not use proper china for hot drink making? Why throw away materials? Water pressure was lacking - makes for washing hair difficult!
Joanna and reception team amazing , friendly , efficient and so helpful , this atmosphere continued throughout other areas , bar, housekeeping , restaurant - credit to Motel One Abbey St … we will be back even though we had several warnings about security at location ….we were 10 persons in 5 rooms for 2 nights- all super delighted with experience ( Irish , German & Swiss )
Joanne helped enormously in providing the best service in Dublin. Everything was not a problem for a seamless check in, even though I was tired after a long flight. Thank you Joanne.
Good location, lovely staff
Hotel was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The location is fabulous, and the service was phenomenal. Great room for resting while exploring the city.
Lovely staff specially Joanna Ciszewska she is the most amazing, helpful in every aspect!
Hotel was great, I would say breakfast offerings could be improved and the option of more soaps in the shower rather than just 1 dual pump
I liked pretty much everything about this hotel, however I must admit that I'd love the bar staff to give me details about the drinks. Also a small detail: the liquid amount of hot drinks from the breakfast machines could be more presice (hot chocolate was overflowing, not enough hot water)
Great location. Rooms are small but clean and well-appointed. No face clothes were my only complaint.
Great staff, especially reception. Fantastic central location. Breakfast good, Beds comfy. Rooms a little small but well equipped and we slept well. Very quiet even in central location. will definitely stay again and would definitely recommend
Hotel is lovely and staff are really friendly and always there to help. The rooms do not have much storage therefore would only suit a short stay.
The rooms are very small but, the location is great!
Lovely staff, rooms spotless and beds comfortable. Breakfast also good.
Great location, great room and great staff
Very Friendly Reception Staff. The room is perfect.
Fantastic location, incredibly attentive staff and top quality standards. Would stay here again and would now book with the same brand in other locations. Couldn't recommend enough.
Fantastic location!
Honestly I was very disappointed this time. I visited in July 2024 and loved the hotel. Was so happy to go back but this time I was given a terrible room looking out into fake green grass carpet. There was a loud banging noise from the plumbing above me and the bed was very uncomfortable. Totally disappointing and will not be back. I stayed at Staycity Aparthotels Mark Street my first night in Dublin and it was much better. Sad as my first visit was so wonderful.
Loved everything about this hotel.
very clean, nice staff, excellent location good breakfast
Generally a very good experience, with one very large exception.....the water pressure in our shower (room 458) was almost nonexistent. Virtually impossible to get a shower, let alone have a satisfactory shower experience. Water barely cleared the shower head, even when turned to the max setting. Since we were there for 5 nights, I probably should have complained to the desk, so that's my fault.
I am a regular guest at Motel one Dublin and find is a great place to stay. It is a great location, the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the rooms are quiet and spotless.

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.
