The Brooks Hotel was the perfect starting point for a day of walking the streets of Dublin. Close to Temple Bar, shopping, and anything you wish to do while in the city. Our standard room was clean, comfortable, but cramped. On a side street, no window views.

Yes the hotel is near the central scene. But it seemed to me a fairly bland hotel- could've been a mid range Hilton. My room was ok- a standard box that was not memorable though nothing was particularly wrong. Hard to find enough plugs for the usual electronics of business life. They did offer a pillow menu though I didnt explore the options. A tub/shower that was small is another modest compromise vs more comfortable hotels. The morning breakfast was reasonable. I guess it's just being prepared for a mid value place after reading all this praise and expecting more than I experienced...

We would absolutely stay at the Brooks Hotel again. The staff went over and beyond in helping us with touring ideas, restaurant reservations and transportation arrangements. Our room was clean and spacious. And you can't beat the location. Right in the heart of Dublin and walking distance from all the major city highlights. I LOVED this place. Fantastic. WAY better than the Trinity Capital Hotel, which we also stayed at, and did not have as positive of an experience. Stay at Brooks instead! It's worth it and reasonably priced.

I stayed at the Brooks for three nights in January and despite the cold outdoors - everything was hot inside. First, the location. The Brooks is literally 5 minutes walk from most of central Dublin (Temple Bar, Trinity College, Grafton Street, Dublin Castle, some of the Quays, O'Connell Street and more). There are plenty of pubs and good restaurants really nearby. Doesn't get better than that. Next, the staff. I've stayed at plenty of hotels of all qualities and just HAVE to compliment the Brokks' staff: Conor at the door, Eduard (who i believe secretly lives behind the reception desk as he was always there) and Harriet at the reception and the people (sorry that I did not catch your names) at the Francesca restaurant at breakfast time and in the Jasmine bar later on. I stayed in room 505 that was designated a deluxe room and while the bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were reasonably spacious, I have to say that I've seen better. Also - the ice machine did not work during my entire stay (I mentioned that things were hot inside, didn't i?). The gym was small but as I was the only guest using it, it was fine. Too bad that towels were not always available down there and once the water had also run out. There is also a sauna that I did not use. The rates were very reasonable for center city and I would stay at the Brooks again as well as recommend it to others.
