“Good Value for Dublin”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Myself and three friends stayed in the Tara Towers in November 2011 for two nights.
We were greeted on check in by the very pleasant receptionist and shown to our rooms on the 7th floor. Unfortunately, our room looked onto a roof and office block but our friend's room looked out on Dublin Bay which was really nice despite the bad weather.
The room was perfectly clean if a little 'tired' (thinned carpets, flayed curtains etc) and stocked with ample amounts of tea/coffee/biscuits/soap etc......
The heating in the room was another issue all together, it seemed to be stifilingly hot in the middle of the night and made for a bad night's sleep.
However, this was only a small problem that could be sorted if the heating was turned down on the in-house system.
Overall, The Tara Towers is a nice, clean hotel with very welcoming staff.....although it could do with a little freshening up.

Room Tip: Ask for a room looking out on Dublin Bay!

“Cheap for Dublin”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

Rough on outside....and quite antiquated inside. Very well heated which on a cold winters day can be nice but can be overpowering and room heating not easily controlled. Has a nice breakfast and restaurant facilities...all OK. Rooms at front have nice view of Dublin bay. Easy access to bus and Dart services to central Dublin.

Room Tip: Get a front room for the view

“Cheap and cheerful.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I had a one night stay here for business. The building looks fairly rough on the exterior, but inside is fine. The staff were nice enough, and I had a good night sleep. The car park was a bit dire though, it's just a gravelled area with no markings at all. For a business trip this place is nicely priced and suits all your needs. I wouldn't go here on vacation though.

“needs updating”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

I recently stayed in this hotel and found it old and in need of updating.
1) The bedrooms were tidy and clean
2) The furniture seemed to be from the 70's
3) The shower took 15-20min for the hot water to kick in. So a cold shower was not nice :-(
4) The bed was unconfortable
5) Spot lights outside the window made the room brighter than I would have liked
6) It was pricy at €80

Room Tip: Ask for one at back of hotel, no lights shining in window.

“Best value in D4”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

I stay here quite regularly for work as my workplace is close buy. Its fantastic value for the location at around €55 per night room only with free car parking. The rooms are basic, the beds comfortable and the shower is fine.

It’s not a hotel to go on holiday but it is fantastic value for its location which is 10 minute taxi to Stephen’s Green or a 10 minute walk to the RDS.

I tend not to eat here so cannot comment on the food.

The hotel is probably in need of a refit but €55 per night including car parking in D4 it’s hard to complain. My 4 star rating is for value and location rather that the hotel itself.

I’ve always found the staff at reception to be friendly and helpful.

Room Tip: Choose a high floor and sea view
