The room was very small and just manoeuvring my 1 piece of luggage made it even tighter. The lobby and bar are lovely and the bed was very comfortable.
I really like the hotels location and I had a great chat at check-in. A couple of things weren’t great in my room, but it wouldn’t stop me from staying at the hotel again in the future.
Great hotel in prime location. Staff extremely helpful.
Lovely hotel in Lovely place with Lovely people as staff
During my stay, a small electronic game that I play when I travel somehow disappeared from my room. The loss of this device is unsettling because I have yet to determine what else may have been taken. Needless to say this incident clouds, my perception of motel one significantly.
Excellent location, short walk to the train station and all city centre shops, restaurants and bar. Modern, tidy & clean with professional and friendly staff, no complaints.
There was no body lotion nor bottles of water in the room
Lovely hotel with great reception staff in a very convenient location.
Excellent hotel in a great location
Stay was brilliant and great location staff were very helpful
Over priced, basic small room with no phone or fridge, Staff very warm and friendly but not value for what the rooms cost per night
The receptionist was very friendly and helpful and explained everything. The Hotel is ideally situated for going shopping and socialising in the nearby bars and restaurants. The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable.
Dear Hotel Team, I had read many excellent reviews about the hotel online, and we were absolutely delighted with everything during our stay. The cleanliness of the rooms was truly impressive. The hotel staff were extremely kind, helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was also excellent, and the location was simply perfect. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. We would be happy to return in the future! Best regards, Zsuzsanna
Joanna and team were outstanding.
Very good service and rooms
A thoroughly enjoyable stay at Hotel Motel One Dublin. A big shout to Joanna and her team as they were fantastic. I would 100% recommend staying here for business or pleasure.
Great place to stay
Motel One Dublin is perfectly located on the Luas Line, and only a short walk to the city centre. The staff were very accommodating and check-in/out was a breeze.
Very nice design, quiet hotel in the city center—that's what you need after a night out in Dublin. A 24-hour bar, which is great. Lovely, modern, super clean rooms. Very nice and friendly staff. And, very important, a reasonable price, and you can also extend your check-out for free up to 3 p.m. the next day. Highly recommended.
Excellent service from start to finish
very friendly, helpful front office desk, and efficient rooms
Arrived well in advance of check in time but the hotel checked me in almost immediately as rooms had been cleaned and available. Multitude of breakfast choices. Great location for walking. Very clean and nice amenities.
I love this hotel for its location and the ambience in the bar/lounge area. It us usually clean and the bedrooms are comfortable. Mostly, the staff are friendly and efficient. I wish it was not dog frienfly, as , barking dogs in the bar , does not lead to a very relaxed atmosphere. The price is a bit high, considering there is no restaurant, but i would recommend this hotel.
Friendly staff, elevators, great location!
Great location. Exceptionally clean room. Staff were efficient and friendly. The only downside was that breakfast was disappointing with basic, limited options. I would be happy to stay again but would get the room only option. Lots of choice for better breakfasts outside the hotel.
Thank you to all the staff for hosting the Oregon Distributor meeting team this week. Special thank you for sorting out all of the gift bags delivered to the teams rooms on arrival. Very comfortable beds, late night bar and friendly staff. Second time saying here and would highly recommend. 10 out of 10
Hotel is in the perfect location, within easy walking distance of everything! Rooms were very comfortable, staff were extremely helpful and delightful. Excellent breakfast. Would definitely recommend and would certainly stay again!
I recently stayed at motel i enjoyed our stay i did find it strange it didnt offer barfood on site.... also I asked for a coffee and no low fat milk was available with lots of shops supplying milk at its doorstep,.I was offered the other full fat or soya alternatives but i decided to go to the coffee shop close by instead.... I thought the bar lounge although modern it was very uninviting and lacked any character or ambiance felt more like an airport lounge also had no beers on tap its not a bar to sit and chat in if you were a solo traveller.... For the rate the room was extremely small.... The positives on this hotel was the cleaning staff the hotel is spotless with 7th floor we had a great view of the city and location its right beside the shops couldnt get closer and very convenient luas line and stop is outside the door! Over all a pleasant experience id stay again if I really needed to due to location convience .... thanks
Lovely hotel. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. Ideal location, very central and close to luas, but this did not make the rooms noisy. It was very quiet at night time.
Nice modern hotel. Disappointing breakfast being only continental in Ireland, expected a nice Irish Breakfast. Bar staff weren't friendly or very helpful. Rooms clean and serviceable, but quite compact
Rooms excellent, very clean! Breakfast was wonderful.
Clean rooms. Great location. The best asset that hotel has is its staff.
Great hotel only letdown was breakfast cattle market
Very nice hotel, good location near the river and lots of good little restaurants. Friendly staff, nice breakfast, bar, very clean. I was there with a tour group, so I didn't make the reservation, but I would happily return.
Always love Motel One. Delivers exactly what you need. Hotel is value for money. Clean and tidy in a great central location. Everything city centre is within walking distance. Nice and quiet for sleeping.
Had a great experience in Motel One Dublin, lovely and clean, helpful staff, location couldnt be better. The only reason Im giving it an 8 not a 10 is in the morning, somebody just walked into our room, used a key, didnt have a uniform on and said oh sorry and walked back out again. This was extremley concerning to us, we were both getting dressed so werent in a position to follow her
Great location, excellent staff. Top notch!
Great service and rooms.
Great stuff again from Motel one!! My favourite hotel in Dublin! Central,convenient and always a lively atmosphere.. Always look forward to staying here.. class Great staff,great hotel.I just would not go anywhere else!!
Everything was good as normal. However the TV in my room was not working when tried it for the first time on Saturday night when I got bs k to the room at around 11. I did not want to call anyone at that time, so I md ruined it as I was checking out
Great hotel and services although not in the nicest part of town.
Staff is lovely & competent. The bed was extremely comfortable & I loved not only the amount of pillows provided, but the variety of firmness. I was there for work and had an extended stay. Room needed more shelves in the bathroom. There was very limited space for toiletries. I had to borrow a small table from my employers so I had a place to put my stuff - and I am not fussy, it wasn't a lot of toiletries. Sink was large enough for a toothbrush & the provided hand soap. There was a small shelf next to the toilet that already held additional toilet paper so little room for anything else, plus, ew - I don't want the things I use on my body next to the toilet. To easy for contamination from any splash back/toilet mist each time I flush. I was in an accessible room and staff kept putting towels over the bar next to the toilet which is also super unhygienic. Easily fixed by me moving them to a different spot after each room clean but something to think about for future guests. It would have been helpful to have a retractable clothes line in the bathroom to hang rinsed out socks underwear. Loved the lounge downstairs and spent time there every day. It wasn't loud & had a relaxed atmosphere. I did a lot of work while sitting in a very comfortable chair in the window. Lounge staff was attentive without being obtrusive. Location was good. Close to my work and easy to get places when I had time for recreation.
After three stays at Motel One Dublin I can say that it is a great hotel in a prime location. The rooms are relatively small but clean and comfortable (and there are Euro-plugs! yipee!). Staff are really nice and friendly. The continental breakfast offers plenty to choose from to get your day going. City centre (Ha'penny Bridge, Trinity College, the National museums, Grafton St) are all a comfortable walk away. Warmly recommended -- and will be back for more!!
The stay was fantastic, great staff, great location and good food. Thank you Joanna and the staff of the reception to provided us a little gift for our Honeymoon! cheers, Federico
I would like to recognise Meghan on reception who is amazing. She always has my iron and board already in my room - I don't even have to ask anymore. She is so warm and friendly, a super asset to have
Always very helpful pleasant staff Always help out that extra bit . .Aoife at reception brilliant. Have stayed every time I have to go to dublin. (would like to see a loyalty scheme for repeat visits)
Hotel really nice and clean, room was very small, shower pressure was little to none, no fridge or ironing services in the room
I stayed for a concert and had a lovely stay, staff were very friendly and extremely helpful and accommodating for any questions and made my stay very easy in Dublin. Had a lovely room and felt very safe great location and will definitely stay again. Was able to check in extra early which was great!
Nice but very small rooms for the price. Parking was a major issue. 24 access lots were not available so we took the rental car back a day early.
Absolutely phenomenal service from all the staff from start to finish

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!

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.

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.

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.
