Buswells Hotel

A warm and welcoming atmosphere, staff were so friendly and helpful, great location and breakfast, we enjoyed Finnegans Rake's gig too, a really enjoyable stay in a lovely building. We're looking forward to visiting again very soon. ☆☆☆☆☆

Could not have loved this hotel more. Very comfortable bed and linens. Extremely helpful front desk staff (we had a couple of small crises and they were wonderful in assisting us). Nice restaurant with a good assortment of local style options. And so conveniently located! It's a beautiful old building that is perfectly lovely.

We booked a small compact full bed room. And it was SMALL! The bed was super comfy but the space was just enough to get ready for the day and leave. The lack of air conditioning made the small space hot but the fan helped. We did receive a balloon and box of chocolates for it being our honeymoon! Yay! The lobby was beautiful and the attached pub was fabulous! I did feel that the room was not as clean as I would have liked and it smelled a bit musty. Our showers would create so much moisture that the surfaces would be covered for hours with condensation. Don't worry we spent most of our time exploring Dublin and Buswells was the perfect location to walk everywhere!

Buswells is within walking distance to Trinity College and St. Stephen's Green. The compact rooms are very small, and all rooms lack AC. Our rooms faced the street, which unfortunately meant street noise and the sound of the crosswalk signal each night. The decor is of a certain time, so don't expect modern design.

This hotel is in a good location but i found the staff, in general, less than welcoming. The first room they assigned me was tiny!!! With an old uncomfortable single bed. i upgraded to another room for additional fee - which was slightly better. but not much. the heating is centrally controlled but the one radiator is behind heavy curtains so when the curtains are closed the heat is lost. staff also told me the heating automatically turns off at 11pm. the nights are cold!! the shower was a semi-circular japanese style unit that once you got in... you could not move. so tight. tiny. i am not obese but anyone of overweight or obese dimensions.... forget it. So my point is - this hotel is really out of date. The quality of the bar (drinks and food) in the hotel was really poor. I travel almost 100 nights per year and am perhpas spoiled by good quality hotels - this one was a throwback to days gone by that I would not recommend to anyone with discerning taste.

This place looks lovely on the website. I did enjoy sitting by the fire, but there are a few details you need to know. Such as it is several buildings cobbled together. We had a room on the second floor. We used the elevator to get to the second floor, then we had to walk down three steps, and then walk up seven with a heavy suitcase to get to our room. I believed we passed through a door, too. Please note this if you are physically limited. If you are driving, you have to park in a garage a couple of blocks ways. We arrived early on Thursday. Stayed one night and our garage fee was sixty-eight euros. The hotel validation only took about thirty euros off. We came in early as did about a dozen other people and there was no one at reception. I think they didn't arrive until nine. Our room wasn't ready early despite the request we made before we arrived. It came available at the normal time. The hotel was quite loud at night, but that may have been the other guests. On the plus side, they provided a nice tea service in the room as well as still and sparkling water. Breakfast is provided in the dining room. It is close to St. Stephen's Square and the Archaelogical Museum. Front desk and housekeeping staff were pleasant and friendly.

If you are able to book off peak and stay at least 3 nights and select the breakfast option, it’s an incredible value. The location is fantastic…walking distance to many of Dublin’s attractions, pubs and restaurants. The hotel has an old charm and everything is updated and very well appointed. The breakfast is excellent featuring cold and hot options…top notch. Best of all is the staff…all going above & beyond. Would certainly return if coming again to Dublin.

What a lovely couple of days. It is in a fantastic location in central Dublin, close to museums, galleries and other sights. Buswells is a beautiful Georgian hotel. As if that were not enough, the staff could not have been more helpful and nicer - from the very kind and pleasant desk staff to the attentive and friendly breakfast room servers and the bar staff. Thanks as well to the room staff. This is not a corporate/anonymous hotel. Thank you so much

Buswells Hotel is amazing! A prime location in the heart of the city and yet on a quiet street - domestic and international travellers in the hotel, which was nice. It also had an excellent restaurant and bar on site. Best of all was the incredible character of the hotel: gorgeously designed with plush leather furniture, full length mirrors and artwork, as well as fireplaces around every corner. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough!
