"Geat stay at the Mespil"

Want too sure what to expect when booking the Mespil. Hotel was exellent Great fast food service from tha bar in the evenings. Breakfast had loads to offer which was really good. Nice clean well decorated room. Hotel was situated approx 20mins walk from town, but in a nice quiet area with shops and a few restaurants. Fish and chip shop that sold gluten free fish and chips literally just down the road, which was a great surprise. Definately recommended if you dont mind a short walk to town.

"Helpful friendly staff with comfortable rooms"

Helpful friendly staff with comfortable rooms. Restful decor, comfortable beds and plenty of clothes hangars. Showers were OK but could do with improving. Main area that could do with refreshing is the food - unimaginative breakfast and dinner menu - adequate but not great. Front of house staff are definitely a great asset.

"Nothing was too much trouble to settle us in"

We would definitely stay here again - superb! Our accommodation was first class and all of the hotel staff were extremely friendly and polite. All of our requirements were met and the food was excellent, especially from the Bar Menu. We would loved to have stayed longer!

"Pleasantly surprised."

Having read a couple of other guest reviews I had reservations, but actually was very happy with the hotel. Clean, well presented and bright.. Only negative would be the breakfast, which was buffet style and a little dry due to being under the food warmers, but it was far from inedible though.

"Excellent styaff, exceptionally well trained."

We enjoyed every moment of oyur stay at the Mespil Hotel. It uis the second time that we have stayed there. On both occassions we had a very satisfactory vacation. The Hotel is situated not far from St Stephen`s green. It is a modern building. Inside it is very well appointed. The room was clean and attractive with plenty of room. The breakfast was good and efficiently organised. We did noty make use of the bar or dining facilities. The staff are the hotel`s best asset.

Had great stay. the room was immaculate & the breakfast was very good. Maybe the doorman could have been friendlier, he was a bit dismissive/obnoxious. Not good when dealing with guests

"Good value for money and about a 10 minute walk from town so well placed for a weekend stay."

Rooms are clean but fairly basic. Breakfast was good and the hotel is well placed to be close to the centre without being too noisy. Staff are very helpful at reception and the hotel has a secure car park which is a bonus.

The temperature of heating in the bedroom was too hot for my liking - this is not a complaint - merely a comment. Other than that everything was 110%.

"Friendly welcoming staff, clean comfortable hotels, "

We spent 3 nights at the Mespil in Dublin for New Year, the staff were all helpful and friendly. Our room overlooked the canal and was clean and comfortable with a lovely view, even though the weather outside was cold the hotel was always lovely and warm. We saw the new year in, with other guests and staff in the bar. Breakfast was plentiful and well prepared. We had one evening meal in the hotel which was really nice too. Only downside comment would be we took a while to find the hotel due to the directions from the airport bus, Leeson Street is a lot nearer than Jury`s Ballsbridge. Overall though an enjoyable, comfortable stay, we would return

The hotel is ideally situated towalk into the centre, the staff could have been a littlemore cheerful and welcoming. The hotel is clean and serves a purpose. We would return and happily recommend it.

"Window"

Lovely, pleaseant stay and very helpful staff. 108 the window was reported as faulty,as there wasno bottom catch, therefore, the wondow was not securly closed, causing a large draft and traffic noise. otherwise everything was great and relaxing, would use this chain of hotel again. Perhaps you could have herbal teas in the room and buscuits.

"Convenient location"

The location is good with a few pubs, restaurants and mini mart type shops within 5 mins walk; however, the rooms appear tired but are currently under going a lick of paint. I do think that they will need slightly more than this as my lampshade was tatty and torn, carpet was worn, the ceiling was stained (the paint will sort this), and the general decor was very dated . I had to change rooms after the first night as the bed creaked like a campbed; the staff were understanding and I was changed without any fuss. The staff are very pleasant and the hotel is comfortable but a few simple additions would have been welcomed i.e. a clock, towels that weren`t so thin and small, and hash browns at breakfast! Having said all of this, I will return as the value & location tip the balance.

"A comfortable hotel to stay at with a friendly atmosphere"

The hotel had easy access from/to the airport bus route. Was a little distant from the town centre if walking. Enjoyable breakfast and reasonably priced bar food. Room was bright and clean, and lounge area at reception was pleasant and well furnished

"From reception to room service all expectations were met"

The first contact is reception which is staffed by well presented,polite,cheerful and well informed people. The room was clean,comfortable and very well equipped. Slight problem with the t.v. which was changed within minutes of reporting it. There was no disturbance from outside. The restaurant and bar again has very pleasant staff and the food could not be faulted. Easy access to the centre of town and convenient for airport bus. All in all great value for money,would go again.

We very much enjoyed our stay, the hotel is clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were only in Dublin over a weekend and the staff were happy to store our lugguage for us. The Irish beakfast that was included was very tasty and although the service was very busy the staff seated us efficiantly and we only waited a short time. The only downside was that the hotel is not located as close to the city centre as we thought. This meant we had to get taxis in the evening.
