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
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
I had a great stay at the hotel. Excellent location, friendly staff and very comfy rooms. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone.
I enjoy my stay at motel one .i was very impressed with the way I was treated by the staff .The food was very good and the rooms were spotless highly recommend a stay .
The best team and the best bar ever
Excellent value and service
Excellent hotel, beds comfy, quiet hotel
The location is excellent, the breakfast selection very good, and your front desk staff just outstanding. I arrived for a tour a day earlier and was able to check into my room at 12:30, enabling me to take a short nap before setting out to see the city. On both stays ( beginning & end of tour) my room was immaculate. The front desk staff were always helpful and willing to suggest restaurants and draw maps so we didn't keep getting lost. My only issue was no one told me at check in that the key card activated/controlled the lights and a/c and there was also no instruction card in the room I stayed in when I initially arrived. Those two things would have really helped!
Great location and very friendly staff
Nice hotel, comfortable room (super clean). Bar area and reception are very cozy. Staff at the front desk are quite friendly but don't have a lot of knowledge about the city or how certain services work.
We stayed for four nights during which we met up with family members (totaling 14 adults and a baby). The entire staff could not have been friendlier, more helpful and accommodating. This made our stay an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. A heartfelt thank you to all !!
I will ALWAYS stay at and recommend Motel One!
Excellent hotel, all the facilities were very good, as well as being situated in a great location. All the staff were exceptional, the cleaning team were always very helpful and did a great job. Special mention to Juan pn the front desk who was great at check in amd always on hand to help when needed.
The stay was perfect, the hotel is in the best location, you have everything nearby within walking distance. All the staff we dealt with were frindly, polite and efficient. The room were very clean every day and the bed was very comfortable. We recommend it 100%
it is my favourite hotel..the location is perfect...
A home from home hotel, absolutely beautiful staff, stunning location and central to everything.
Perfect location, nice clean room.
First time staying with Motel One. Very cool vibes and super friendly. Illia went above and beyond to help me when I first arrived.

3 Fun Facts while in Dublin


There is no bad weather...
When it rains in Dublin, there are usually gusts of wind that claim a lot of umbrella victims. We recommend: rather wear raincoats, they last longer!


Piuu piuuuu!
Anyone walking in the city will soon know what this sound is all about. It kind of reminds us of a laser gun from science fiction movies, doesn't it?


Your Choice of cheers!
Drinking a Guinness is almost obligatory in Dublin. If that's too tart for you, order a "Baby Guinness": This in turn is a shot of coffee liqueur and Irish cream, which imitates the look of the beer - but in sweet!

The convenient location of your hotel has a considerable impact on how well you can explore Dublin, the heart of Ireland. Our hotels are located in the old town near famous landmarks like the Temple Bar area, the Jameson Distillery and the Guinness Storehouse. That means it’s easy for you to discover the cultural treasures of the city centre – they’re all virtually on the doorstep.
From Dublin Airport, take the 784 bus, alight at stop 303 Eden Quay in the centre and walk five minutes towards the hotel. The hotel also offers transfers to and from the airport, which are easy to book.
Comfort and hospitality
At our conveniently located hotel in Dublin, you can expect comfort and the highest level of typical Irish hospitality. Our rooms are clean and well equipped, so you’re guaranteed a pleasant overnight stay in Dublin. Friendly staff are the icing on the cake.
Experience Dublin by day and by night from the design hotel
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. Temple Bar is the cultural heart, where you can try a pint of the famous Guinness in an authentic pub, bar or restaurant. If your legs are weary, the hotel lounge will be glad to serve you one, too.
A clean hotel for a reasonable price – in the heart of the city
Our city hotels in Dublin offer comfortable accommodation in the centre with excellent connections to public transport. The Jervis Luas stop and the train station are located close to the design hotel. If you’re arriving at the hotel by car, we recommend using the APCOA Car Park Jervis Street, which is only three minutes away from the hotel. 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. This is where political prisoners were once held.
