86%Maldron Hotel Smithfield Dublin  

I've been traveling around the world for the past few months. This is by far the best discount hotel we have stayed in so far in Europe (for the money, you can't beat some of the places in South East Asia). I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling through Europe.

Great value for money, the room was so spacious and the bathroom was very clean. It was a quick walk into the city center and the market next door was great.

Located in a business district its not really a place for fun. That said - still an awesome place to stay...very clean. Near public transport and tour buses so its pretty easy to get around and into the centre of Dublin. Would definately recommend this place and be back.

A chain hotel. Not great if you're looking for a place to meet other travellers. But perfect if you're looking for a bit of luxury. This was a lovely place to stay after staying in dodgy hostels for 6 days straight. Private bathroom, clean sheets and a tv.

Really enjoyed our stay here, would highly recommend it. We went to a concert at Kilmainham and we could walk there and back from the hotel.

Such an incredible rate for an incredible hotel! I recommend buying a ticket on the sightseeing bus so you can see a lot of the city and make your way into Temple Bar. The plus is that one of the drop offs is right by the hotel!

The staff was nice, but not responsable. I asked them to wake us up one day, I they didnt, the day we left we couldnt sleep to be awake, we almost miss the flight. they charged us double on the credit card, be carefull. the place is nice and there is a really nice bar right across the street.

Wonderful Hotel and great staff! We were there during St. Pattys so it was a bit expensive, but really a nice clean Hotel and had a very pleasant stay. Its about a 10-15 walk to Temple Bar area. Theres also a really great fresh market/grocery store right next door. Thanks Comfort Inn... more Wonderful Hotel and great staff!

Large room with large bathroom. Tee/coffee, ironer, hair dryer in room. No bar in room, but there was a bar and restaurant on ground floor. Comparable to **** hotel. I slept in two additional **** hotels this year and this one was something in between. The only thing I missed in room was a pen to make some notes, everything else was great, fulfilling all my expectations.close

Other reviewers wrote about this hotel being a bit far from the Temple Bar area, but as far as I'm concerned it wasn't too far away from there.

Courtyard next to hotel has many young kids that hang around. They set off fireworks and lite small fires. This is disturbing as they normally do it at night.

The hotel is very comfortable and has a central position. Maybe could be useful that you add, on the on-line page of the Comfort Inn Hotel, how it could be reached by metro and bus from Dublin airport; It think the fastest and easiest ruote is taking an Airlink bus from airport to Busaras station... more The hotel is very comfortable and has a central position.

That said, it is in a good location, about 15 minutes walk from everywhere, the rooms are excellent, and there is an amazing supermarket on the ground floor (not the SPAR across the plaza). The hop on-hop off bus stop is only about 5 mins walk away, so is the airport bus stop. It's also across the road from the Jamisons distillary, which unfortunatly was closed when we were there. Good place, would stay there again. Try to get a room on the plaza side though - we even got a private balcony!close

Beautifully new hotel in a good location (20 minute walk along the river to town centre), above an incredible supermarket where we bought baguettes and criossants every morning. The room suprisingly had a double and single bed (we are a couple), there was also a balcony and tv with cable (although it stopped working on many occasions), very modern room. overall a great stay- would reccomend the hotel to everybody, the staff were incredibly helpful and always friendly, especially the night staff!

The only draw back for your accomodation was that there was no air conditioning and the window was unable to opened more than a little, hot hot hot.
