I agree with all previous reviewers who raved about the great staff and convenient ocation of this hotel. My husband and I stayed here in January 2012 and really liked the charm of the place and the incredible location. Having said that, though, please be aware that there are some pretty scary people hanging around the hotel day and night. We heard from a taxi driver that there is both a homeless shelter and a methadone maintenance clinic on the street, and I checked online and found this to be true. I was surprised this wasn't mentioned by previous reviewers. If you are a woman traveling alone, or if you plan on late nights (when the hotel is locked up behind bars), this may not be the safest choice. I really regret to mention it, because our overall experience was so positive and we liked the staff so much, but its something to consider when booking.
Room Tip: stay towards the back, due to street noise all night long.

Dear Newport, Rhode Island
Thank you for your kind comments in reference to our staff, we have a fabulous group of people working with us and a lot of them are here a long time which is always a benefit for our returning guests, it is always nice to see a familiar face on a return visit.
Just to advise there is No homeless shelter or methadone clinic on Lower Abbey St, which is were Wynn's is located, the street is very busy because we have the Luas tram right outside so it may feel at times a little congested. Wynn's Hotel has been in operation since 1845 and I can guarantee is as safe as any City Centre Hotel. I believe the scarriest moment we had in the last few years was when a female assassin came charging through our doors, of course this was a movie scene being shot by Mr Steven Soderbergh for his latest Hollywood blockbuster 'Haywire'.
Dublin ranks at number 26 for Top City in the World to visit and Wynn's Hotel is ranked 29 out of 179 hotels in Dublin to visit so please do not be put off, we would love to see you visit with us again in Wynn's Hotel.
Regards
Sales & Marketing manager.
