If you want to stay somewhere cheap, relatively close to the centre and like a large, greasy breakfast, perhaps this is the place for you... But you also have to love god-awful Tina Turner / Beyonce tribute acts that blare into your room until gone 2am in the morning, enjoy 2cm thick pillows and revel in the stench of unclean... More

O'Shea's made a wonderful place to see Dublin from. A block and a half from the Tram service, out the front door, cross the river, one block, turn right, and there's the Tram. From there it's a short ride to the center of town. Huge breakfast comes with your room, and you do have a menu to pick from. The... More

We was on holiday in Dublin from the 23rd to the 27th in a BB few yards from O'Sea's What i can say is that we went in this place just for a dinner on one evening and we find out that O'Sea's offers good food for a very reasonable price and also drinks prices was reasonable compared with other...

The room was third rate. We only had one chair in the room, had to take turns using desk. No phone in room. I felt as though we were bothering the staff the few times we engaged them.The street noise was bad, the bar noise (music) was unbearable and lasted until 2 am. Then drunk patrons poured onto the sidewalk... More

We went there for breakfast/lunch on a Sunday and waitresses as well as food gave us the worst Dublin experience. Absolutely unwelcoming staff, dirty plates and glasses (poorly cleaned from the night before), penetrating odor from the bathrooms and a meal that appeared and tasted more like it's gotten already some upper one-digit warming up cycles. We felt like in... More

I must say we walked in to see Irish dancing and music playing and thought it was great. As we walked up the stairs it was dawning on me that maybe it wasn't what we expected. On entering the room there was a strange smell, maybe damp. The carpet and linen were very old. My bed cover had what what... More

I want to caution you Americans that go here. If you want five star Hilton or Marriott type of accommodations then this is not the place for you. However, if what you want is to experience Ireland and meet warm and friendly people in a great traditional Irish setting, then this is the place for you. The staff at O'Shea's... More

This is not a hotel, this is a bar. When I showed up, they had no idea who I was or how I made a reservation. After ONE HOUR AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES, they found someone that wasn't checking in, so I got that "room". The room is directly above the bar. If you don't mind the stained carpeting, and... More
