Top Whelan's Hotel Reviews

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The bar is just as beautiful in person! Very walkable location, restaurants and shops short distances, pubs, too! Breakfast is amazing, but also a small, yet incredible bakery across the street. Modern and immaculate."

The Mercantile Hotel

8/10 Good

"loved the vibe of the mercantile and it's location. Most staff were super friendly and helpful, drink was delicious at the bar. Really liked the utilization of the small space - efficient and attractive. Would highly recommend this for solo travelers as the perfect base to explore Dublin on foot. Worth noting that you could hear sirens outside and people above you, but both passed soon enough. Dropped score a little because the shower didn't work the first day but it was fixed in like ten minutes total."

Wellington Temple Bar

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect location to enjoy Temple Bar."

Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Kitchenette"

The Green

Zanzibar Locke

10/10 Excellent

Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room Excellent breakfast…lots of selection both hot and cold buffet."

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The place is in a great location and has great amenities. The breakfast was great. Patrick was very helpful at the front desk."

Clink i Lár

8/10 Good

"Property had a fun vibe and loved the downstairs cafe. However we booked the 4 room dorm with private bathroom for 4 people and surprised it did not come with towels. Bed came with sheets and blanket but no towels. We had to rent towels £20. I also booked a double room with private bathroom and this included towels. I was told at the establishment when we checked in that all dorms are this way with towels not provided. If that’s the case then Expedia should mention this for the room when you book it. I went back and checked Expedia for the room and our confirmation and no where did it say towels not included. And talking to other families that booked a dorm room like us, they also had not known they would be charged for towels. Not sure who is at fault, Expedia or the establishment. Either way should be clear when you book this type of room that towels are extra. Hoping someone sees this and updates the information."
