I stayed here on a business trip in 2011, and thought this was a great hotel. Cool and quirky and just a fun place to stay. Nice bar and restaurant, it's also in a good location, 10-15mins from the city centre on foot

We were drawn by the hip environment. W-like, youthful and colorful with fun decorative splashes. WiFi everywhere. In a residential neighborhood about a 20 min walk from the center city - a great walk as you'll pass many well ranked restaurants. Went for the upgraded room and it was so worth it - spacious, comfortable, heated floors in the bathroom, hot water maker for tea, and an excellent AC/heater that was even quiet! A few minuses... there is no place to work out on premises - and the place they have access to is minimal - so if a gym is important this place won't work well. The hotel restaurant's wine list is lacking for new world options... and the bottles we had were clearly not stored well at all. But overall we are glad we stayed.

I stayed at the Four Seasons in Dublin for two nights and then at the Dylan and it's the Dylan that wins without question. The rooms are lovely, helpful and friendly staff are on hand (Madison when I booked the room in particular). The place has style (does risk being a little OTT) but gives it a lot more character than places like the Four Seasons where you'd think you were staying in your Grans spare bedroom. Would stay here again.

The hotel is just a tad away from the energy of the city centre. The hotel has a particular style which is just not for me. It lacks a chill factor, hinting at random opulence. Maximum use is made of the interior space. Reception is small (a good idea) but it does feel dark and interior. My room was large but very badly laid out. Sofa, tables etc bordered the wall. It lacked focus despite it being large with a kingside bed leavig a very odd sense. The staff is well trained and pleasant but... cold. I wish i liked it but the design is too jarring and I'm not sure if it relates to anything more than just the Celtic tiger psyche. It's priced at the high end. I'll pass on this one again.
