Buswells Hotel, Dublin

The hotel was in the heart of the city but just slightly out to the point where there isn’t heavy foot traffic and noise around the building. It was perfect for going out for meals or visits to museums.

There was a lot of noise from rooms beside and above due to squeaky floorboards when people are walking around getting ready in the morning and at night. The bath drain also drained away very slowly, the toilet seat was also loose and was nearly coming off.

Comfortable and not brash . Quiet and restrained decor ,. refined clientele.

Gas fires in lobby and lounge were not lit . Said by staff member to be out of order . it was February and VERY wet and cold outside .A warm fire would have been so welcoming .

Old Fashioned Dublin charm. Really excellent location. Love the bar area and great lounge service. Rare to find these days.

The receptionist on that particular day was completely unfamiliar with Hotel Services for example did not know the bar offered a light breakfast menu from 8-10 am . Told us that no food served till after 3pm.

Central location. Traditional homely style hotel. Special car parking rate nearby. Great lobby.

A little bit cool in the room.

Location and was warm and cosy. Lovely food.

Nothing really

Great location, old world charm, lovely staff

It’s a little bit dated but absolutely clean.
Old phone etc in room but nice modern bed and bathroom.

Central , Cosy classic hotel

I stay at this Hotel quite often and enjoy the friendship extended to me by all the staff.

Access to rooms are in some instances difficult and directional signs to rooms could be improved.

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

Room was clean but pretty basic.

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.

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.

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.

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

My room had a slight damp smell

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

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

Na

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

The lock on our door was hard to open.
