Buswells Hotel, Dublin

Fantastic location. Beautiful old building and very friendly staff, particularly the doorman.

Room was clean but pretty basic.

Location Vg. Bedroom Very small but it was a single room.

Great Dublin City location Old World feel in Buswells with a sense of Dublin history but no compromise on comfort .Very good value .Loved being able to walk out the front door on the corner of Kildare Street and get walking or straight on a bus and feel safe to explore Dublin.Then back to a bar filled with interesting people

IStaff, Nice bedrooms

No reception on RTE TV, and was hoping to see something.

Rooms spacious and comfortable bed

Floors above a bit creaky when people moving around.

Location & friendliness

It was very comfortable

We had a great day in the hotel and we will be back

Great location

Old fashioned, traditional hotel in a great location.

everything was very good but the hot breakfast which was not up to the usual standard you would have expected

Decor and how it feels like home. Great location to central tourist spots and for dining.

To locate room, wrong number was on the wall. It seems all the room numbers need to reviewed and done up. Phone in room was not working and the cups for tea were dirty.

The staff were exceptional …friendly and professional .Each one made our stay the best it could be. The Christmas decorations create a lovely atmosphere.The price was so good and the location is amazing .

The room was small as expected and very comfortable but the upstairs needs a little updating and is a little tired .

Elegant

The food was ok, the breakfast is expensive and the eggs were over cooked.

Lovely period property opposite the Royal College of Physicians

The room was not very warm

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful location in walking distance of the centre of Dublin and Temple Bar. The staff were fantastic, friendly, courteous and extremely welcoming . They are all a credit to the hotel and made the experience memorable.

The breakfast was an extra 25euros per person and wasn’t particularly good value.

All the staff were excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Service was a little slow at times but it was very busy and it didn’t detract from our trip too much.

Location & eating/drinking facilities.

Nothing.

The property is very convenient for my requirements and the staff are most friendly, particularly at reception and in the dining room. Breakfast was appetising and well presented.

The room was in a very poor location, requiring access by means of several flights of stairs comprising in all 34 steps from reception, with no lift facilities! I prefer a softer mattress and firmer pillow, but not complaining.

Location . Decor . Comfort

Friendly staff and friendly atmosphere, nice welcoming hotel/

The room was a little bit tired and in need of some TLC. (Headboard worn away etc)

Coffee in the room was very poor. Room was very comfortable. Pillows very soft.

Pillows and coffee

Centrally located comfortable

Location , staff and ambience

The location was perfect. We were attending a graduation in Trinity and never would have made the 10 am start from our home location.

No complaints at all.

Good breakfast

I love Buswells I love the old world feeling of the place

My room had a slight damp smell

Convenient location and relaxing atmosphere - staff very accommodating and friendly

Location is everything. Best possible place in the center of town walkable and easy access to places of interest. The staff was always pleasant and especially the door men who were extremely helpful.

The twin room at the end of the hall way #109 had persistent piano music playing in the background. No way to tune that out, it could be overridden by the television but that was the last resort. The bathroom drain could be cleaned. Shaving residue from men’s facial hair accumulated in the drain. Could be cleaned out.

Piped harp music from bar downstairs irritated a bit and shower water pressure a bit low, but a fabulous hotel, breakfast and - above all - staff (who were always super-friendly and eager to please!) We will be back, I’m sure

Piped music and water pressure

Very nice hotel. Tastefully furnished.

Nice quiet hotel, clean and bright

Staff ringing our room from reception accusing my kids of making noise when they were already asleep in bed!

Lovely friendly staff. Cosy and clean throughout. Location is great as near to St Stephen’s Green, Grafton Street and city centre shopping and dining.

Centrally located and a warm welcome. Room was nice and well equipped especially the bathroom, but had no aircon and was too warm

Na

The location

There was a lovely buzz about the hotel. The staff were very helpful.

The lock on our door was hard to open.

Location

Location is excellent, staff very friendly....bedroom in a quiet location.

Clean, comfortable and lovely staff. Great location easy walking distance to most things.

Nothing

Bed comfortable. Great restaurant.

Nice hotel. Had a great restaurant. Food was excellent.

The hotel was in a great location, right next to Trinity College. The staff was friendly and helpful and the restaurant in the hotel was excellent.

Location was fabulous. Staff were efficient and kind -barman was so charming and so sweet! ! 😀The Hotel is beautiful and elegant with an old-world, welcoming charm. We loved being able to sit at the fireplace. The road noise, in particular the beeping from the traffic light, caught us by surprise and I can imagine it may be disturbing for a light sleeper. Beds are comfortable and the shower was great! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book there again without hesitation. Thank you!

Perhaps a warning about the troublesome key to room 214 as we checked in would have been welcome. 😀 Booking through Booking.com seemed to present a slight problem when I would have liked to alter the reservation.

Perfect location. Good value

On booking.com it stated breakfast available for €15. However I was charged €26. Too expensive

Price

I was woken at 6am by a Booking dot com request to give feedback on my stay so negative rating for Booking.com. The hotel was good.

Location, comfort, lovely breakfast

nothing

All very good except the night porter was quite grumpy

We have always liked the nice comfortable 'old fashioned' feel of Buswells. Staff are friendly. there is a great atmosphere here!

We were disappointed in the Breakfast. It is a while since we have stayed here, but you used to get proper linen napkins and Eggs Benedict. A hotel of this calibre should have linen NOT paper napkins.

Staff were very friendly, there was a great ambience of the hotel very welcoming. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Add on breakfast was a little too pricy, there are local cafe's with a 50% cheaper option which i availed of on the second day. Something to think about maybe.

The room was exactly as described on the site. Breakfast was no included in the price I paid but that was what I opted for.

Room available on arrival although primary access only by stairway. Breakfast was up to good standard and staff excellent.

Nothing of any consequence.
