This hotel is located just off a couple of busy streets. Two sister hotels in the same chain are within two blocks. Room and bathroom was good size, bed was comfortable. There were three electrical outlets -- UK, Europe, and US. There is no longer a restaurant for lunch and dinner, but you can get meals in the bar, where... More

We stayed at the O'Callaghan Davenport from June 11 - 15, 2013, with our 14 year old grandson and had a great experience. It is in an excellent location in Merrion Square near Trinity College. Many attractions and excellent restaurants are within walking distance of the hotel. If a taxi is needed, a line of taxis can usually be found... More

Stayed here with my partner some time ago to attend a concert at the O2. Upon checking in we were told our room had been upgraded...the room was large and of high quality. The bed was amazing...we couldn't fault this hotel or it's staff! Would definitely recommend!

We stayed at this hotel because it was recommended to us for his meeting at Trinity. Unlike most of my trips, I actually spent time in this hotel and enjoyed my time there.

I just discovered that I forgot to submit a review for this hotel, in which we stayed in May 2012! (Luckily, I kept my notes.)

The hotel is certainly a good bit better than your random tourist hotel for two days in Dublin. It is a small - not boutique - size hotel that is quite comfortable in its public rooms and guest quarters. It is a quiet hotel, which is nice, as it feels comfortable from the start and gives a good night's sleep.... More
