"not impressed no bar facilities at night"

We arrived back to the hotel about 10.30pm and were very disappointed we couldn`t get a drink, neither alcohol or non alcohol. I feel when staying in a hotel even though mid week the bar should be open to residents. Everything else lovely and comfortable and convenient.

"Good location, hotel front and lobby lovely, rooms not so great"

Excellent location to Connolly station. Downstairs in hotel was really beautiful and finished very well. Bedrooms could have been finished better. Accommodation good, basic but good. Very noisy guests above us which took away from the experience. However, overall it was good.

"The rooms rates were good but the hotel is `aging` and needs some TLC"

Floors creak (a lot), doors bang during the night (a lot), internet access was very poor (slow), inadequate ventilation in the room (no air conditioning), TV channels limited (not too much of a problem) but picture quality poor, analogue TV. Staff friendly and willing and able to assist. Good transport links near hotel (Mainline rail, LUAS and bus)

"An excellent base for exploring Dublin. Close to all the major areas of interest. Friendly staff. "

Enjoyed a three day break at the Beresford, using it as a base to explore Dublin. Friendly staff, good restaurant serving English and Contental breakfast, worth adding as an extra. Must do:- Bus tour, getting off to view the 1500 year old Kell Books at the University and the Guiness musuem. Very good value. Visit the bars and cafe`s just over Halfpenny Bridge on the river Liffey - eat an Irish Stew. Alternatively- one evening - try the hotel food - very good value

Located in a slightly seedy (but improving) end of old Dublin, this is an efficiently run, clean hotel. Position opposite a large police station is good for security. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. Good value.

"Fantastic concierge service. Very obliging staff!"

A nice hotel opposite the main bus station, which is perfect when leaving for the airport by bus. The hotel is clean and cosy. I deeply appreciated the help I got from the concierge when I asked to have our room changed. The allocated room wasn`t very nice and a bit small for a double. They moved us immediately to an available and much nicer room at no extra cost. I have stayed there several times (when it was called Hotel Isaacs) and always liked the service. Would recommend it.

"for the price, good value"

the trams nearby were not a problem, but if you get the rooms above the youth hostel, you will hear them until 4 or 5 in the morning talking and singing, but otherwise good value and near the centre for walking around

"lovely room in a convenient location"

We were looking for a convenient place to stay for a few days, and according to the write up Isaacs Hotel fit the bill perfectly and we weren`t disappointed. For us it represented good value for money, giving us a good sized room and all the usual conveniences, including a powerful shower despite being on the 3rd floor ! We were out and about so only really wanted a base and a place to sleep, we didn`t eat there but it smelt good. It proved to be a great location, just minutes walk from O`Connell shops, also pretty convenient for the centre, and the more distant places were easily accessed by the tram, with a stop just over the road. The staff were pleasant and helpful, the only down side for us: with the bus station, tram and trains all nearby we found the night time a bit noisy. There was a steady (mechanical/engine ?) hum that we`re not used to, but then we do live in the sticks ! However, the bed was lovely & comfortable and we both slept really well. We`d go again.

"First class accomodation right in the middle of Dublin"

First class stay right in the middle of Dublin at a very good price. The hotel is a little dated now but is clean and tidy. The rooms a little basic but all you need for a good stay with comfortable beds and a good shower!! Breakfast is an additional 10e and is buffet in style plenty to choose from and plenty to eat and I can recommend the sausages!! Staff as always were polite and very helpful. I would return to this hotel without hesitation

Very good hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. The only problem was the train and tram lines run right next to the hotel and the noise was enough to wake you up and the train seemed to be running most of the night. Other than that couldn`t fault the hotel or the staff.

"Good Hotel- Friendly Staff"

would definitely use the Isaac`s Hotel again. The hotel was clean, the staff friendly and the breakfast was very good.It was also only a short walk from the hotel to O`Connell St. The only drawback was the noise from the railway.

"Definitely not 3 star luxury"

As a group we had 4 rooms all of which looked nothing like the ones pictured. Grotty bathrooms with loose and cracked floor tiles, poorly maintained and bodged up. Gloomy (even on a sunny day) rooms which are overdue refurbishment had an old portable TV with only 4 local channels, backed onto the elevated DART railway which had noisy trains from 7am till 11pm. Reception offer currency exchange (worst rate) but when asked could not oblige as there was apparently no money in the till?? The bar was ok and the restaurant looked fine, although we didn`t dine there. I have stayed in Dublin many times, at short notice was unable to book my preferred hotel, The Trinity Capital, which, at the same price, makes the Isaacs look like a 1 star hotel.

Very good location if you accept the noise of the passing train. Clean and good value for money. Helpful staff; we arrived earlier than check-in time and were given our rooms immediately. The restaurant serves very good food but charges 10 per cent service charge for groups of 6 or more. However we would stay there again. but charges a 10 per cent service surcharge for groups of 6 or more.
