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.
Very disappointed with the range of beers on draft
Very good hotel Love to staying all time
Very central, clean, affordable. Highly recommend.
Helpful and friendly staff. Good location. Room was small and difficult to get luggage past the bed.
Such a warm welcoming experience. Any staff I met were extremly friendly. Excellent location. Will 100% be booking again.
Stayed as a group of 10 staff lovely and accommodating nothing was too much trouble always smiling and would go out of their way to help - would definitely stay again
Excellent location in central Dublin. The staff were great and the service was just as good.
Great location, friendly staff, nice clean rooms
Location, location, location it was the best. Close to buses, tram, shopping and Temple bar. Super friendly staff and nice rooms. We will be back.
I stay frequently for work and have always found the staff to be superb- friendly and helpful and very willing to facilitate last minute changes which is really important for work related travel. Spotless comfortable rooms. Particular mention to Joanna, corporate client manager who really does go out of her way to make the whole process as smooth as possible.
Staff and location suburb
Good location, nice rooms & breakfast.
We stopped for the one night. We got to the hotel earlier than check in time and the young man checked if a room was free and it was. Nice to be able to settle into your home for the night early.
Third time staying here. Nice spot. Great location. Doesn't let you down.
Room was nice, but I guess shower pressure was not included in my package. Breakfast could be a bit more rich as scrambled eggs, bacon and legumes are standard in rest of Europe. All in all it was ok.
Accessible and perfect location to all who want to see Dublin.
Excellent pricing, the free water tasted delicious, the prices at the bar were reasonable. Staff were lovely and beds were very comfortable. Excellent location.
Check in was amazing. I don't remember name of person working but she was amazing and was willing to give recommendations and everything. Room was perfect. Would stay again.
Super gelegenes Hotel, sehr nettes Personal und alles sehr sauber. Rezeption sehr hilsbereit. Special thx to Juan and the lady with the glasses.
My stay was amazing not only was the hotel close to everything so it was very convenient for me but the staff were kind and the room was really nice the only critique I have is the shower in the bathroom I feel there should some sort of door when entering the shower as a lot water gets on the floor and around the bathroom because there is nothing stopping it from splashing on the bathroom floor
Staff was friendly and helpful. Clean, neat and the location is perfect for the visit of the city.
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.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating history and culture of Dublin by visiting attractions like St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Castle and Trinity College Library, a short distance from the hotel. The city also enchants visitors with its green oases, like Phoenix Park and Saint Stephen’s Green. Dublin Zoo will impress young and old alike.
Culinary delights and traditions in the heart of Dublin
A visit to a traditional pub in the old town is an essential part of any hotel stay in Dublin. This is where you’ll experience the unique flair of the city.

Our city hotels in Dublin offer comfortable accommodation in the centre with excellent connections to public transport.

That way, you can easily visit Dublin’s attractions like EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum (Connolly station) and the National Leprechaun Museum.
Not far from the hotel, you’ll also find Dublin’s Jeanie Johnston museum: on a replica of a ship that took Irish emigrants to North America in the 19th century, history is made tangible. Further out from the hotel in Dublin, but definitely worth the trip on public transport, the former Kilmainham Gaol prison has been converted into a thought-provoking museum.
