Top Waterways Visitor Centre Hotel Reviews

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

10/10 Excellent

"The smoking patio outside the restaurant was nice for cigars. The guest laundry was a little expensive but definitely worth it. Wednesday night wings special was nice and breakfast was a good value for the price."

Zanzibar Locke

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I enjoyed our 5 night stay at Zanzibar Locke, Ha'penny Bridge. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The location could not be better. Our room amenities included a Washer/Dryer combo, a good sized Refrigerator and a Dishwasher (which we did not use as we ate out every meal). The staff is amazing and it's important to note that the front desk is staffed 24/7. If we ever come back to Dublin, we'll stay again at the Zanzibar Locke."

The Spencer Hotel

8/10 Good

"Le centre sportif et la piscine en particulier est un petit bijou. Etant un nageur assidu, j'ai beaucoup apprécié la possibilité de réserver mon couloir de nage à une heure spécifique."

Travelodge PLUS Dublin City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Welcoming staff, lots of smiles. Bar area was inviting. Room was on small side and TV kept glitching but other than that, it was a good city hotel."

The Morgan Hotel

8/10 Good

"Two of us stayed at the Morgan for several nights, mid-week. Hotel was great all around. Clean, updated and located in central Dublin, making it a great base for exploring the city. Breakfast was included with our rate and that was very convenient as well. Buffet or order from a limited menu. The only warning we would offer is to understand that it is right in the center of the Temple Bar district, which is very tourist driven and a pretty exuberant nightlife. Even on weeknights, the area was loud well into the early morning. The hotel itself was quiet, just no way to entirely mask the world outside. But if you're there to enjoy that experience in Temple Bar and the surrounding area, you aren't going to find a better place to start. Hotel staff was also very helpful in arranging airport taxi for us and offering advice and directions about the area. Overall, it was a very nice stay for us. We would j"
