"Excellent Value For Money"

First Class 3 star Hotel a short walk from Dublin City Centre which may be a problem for some people. Excellent Decoration, Bedrooms and Food. One important point all the staff are prepared to go the extra mile for the customer.

We were disappointed to find that the bistro was closed and we had difficulty in finding the hotel from the directions given on line as they started from the airport and not from any other direction. We otherwise had no other complaints. The breakfast was good.

"Excellent hotel. Fabulous stay, made my weekend break all the more enjoyable!"

Excellent hotel. ALL staff where extremely helpful and pleasant. Room was clean, well decorated and spacious. Cleaning to high standard and room cleaning was not disruptive to our stay (something that I have previously found at other hotels I have stayed in) location was good. I would definitely staff here again and have already recommended this hotel to friends and work collagues!

"Customer service was excellent"

I have to say from the min we walked into the mespil we were greeted with a very warn welcome ... The room was clean there was free wi fi which is always a plus ....:) the reception were brilliant `, I can safely say that we wd def come here again ... The location was just far enough away from the town centre if you don`t mind a walk and I think perfect price for two nite stay when doing the marathon ....

"Staff went out of their way to cater for me as a coeliac; I thoroughly enjoyed my stay"

I chose the Mespil because I had read that it was coeliac friendly and found this to be more than true. I cannot praise the staff enough for the care and attention they offered me as a coeliac. I stayed with my 11 year old and, again, have nothing but praise for the way he was treated. I woudl definitely stay again!

"Staff were very friendly and helpful"

My wife and I went to Dublin for the Dublin Super Cup soccer competition. We found the Mespil on an internet search and choose it because it was very competitively priced. We were pleasently surprised by the Mespil and would consider staying there again next time we are in Dublin.

"friendly and helpful staff. good location."

My wife, 2 month old baby and I stayed for 2 nights. We enjoyed our stay and found the staff friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean and tidy. Great breakfast. The location of the Mespil Hotel was good and is a 10min walk approximately to Saint Stephens Green. A real bonus for us was the free car parking at the back of the hotel, as this was very convenient with all the gear that goes along with a baby!!!! We would definitely stay again at The Mespil Hotel.

"Concert weekend"

Really enjoyed our stay here. Requested smoking rooms - no problem. the two rooms were lovely, especially the twin room with the separate sitting room and huge bathroom (an unused bedroom ideal for its new purpose. Even though it was a concert weekend the staff could not do enough to help. Dinner menu a bit limited; we had fish and chips the fish was a bit like Donegal Catch - not what we expected. But it was fine. Breakfast was lovely. Ideal location for both the Aviva and for heading into the city centre. Felt very safe walking around at 3 am. Definately would return.

"Great venue for Dublin weekend"

We had a great stay at The Mespil. The room was very comfortable, if a bit warm. The location is very convenient for entertainment, eating and shopping. Hopefully we can secure a good rugby weekend rate and we will be back!!!!!

"Nice hotel in a good location"

Hotel was nicely decorated but in a no frills style. Room was decent size for one night, with comfy bed and nice bathroom. There were tea and coffee faciliites but no biscuits. Although room did have an iron and ironing board which is always useful. The wake up call in the morning was a knock on the door rather than a phone call, which was appreciated at 4.30am. Overall a well located, nicely decorated and very functional hotel. I would stay again.

"Overall Stay - Very Good"

Would have given it full rating of Excelent - but we were distracted trying to get a space in the Car Park - as its only for 40 cars on a first come first served basis. It was day 2 before we got a space. We had a day trip booked we would have to cancel if we did not get the space
