“Wonderful staff makes this hotel the best!”

Centrally located, best staff you will ever find. Kind, caring, treat you like family. Nice clean room. Best Irish dancing show too. Good food, good times. The only small negative was uneven water temperature in the shower. A positive is that they are energy conservative. Would definitely go back.

Area recommendations
Don't miss Trinity College, Book of Kells display. Students give the tour of the college and teach you a lot in a short time. Then head to the Book of Kells where you can lose yourself in many wonderful displays of history.
When to go
Went last week of September. Perfect weather, good prices.
Getting around
Stop in any Dublin tourism office. They can answer all your questions about what to see and their tour offerings are well worth it.
Must see
Cliffs of Moher. Unmatched beauty of water, cliffs and sky. So majestic.

“Quality, Security, Comfort and Hospitality right in the center of Dublin”

To be honest, when I first booked, I thought the hotel might be a bit dicey, but the location was perfect for me as I had business right in the center of Dublin. I am happy to report that the quality of service was superb. AND the security was very good, too. (The town center of Dublin, right off O'Connell Bridge and facing the Liffey can, frankly, be a little weird sometimes.) This place was really good, the staff helpful and friendly and the buffet breakfast outstanding. I will definitely be back!

Area recommendations
Dublin is a very lively city with great cultural offerings and a surprisingly good level of gastronomic service. (the days of overcooked and mushy food are long, long gone!) This hotel is equidistant from both Trinity and the Hugh Lane Gallery. The Abbey theater is a stone's throw and, of course, the ever chic Temple Bar area is just across the river. A great city and the Arlington was a great place to stay.
When to go
I especially like Dublin in the autumn. The Theater Festival is world class (Late September into early October) The weather was amazing this time through, though I can make no guarantee on that score. There are also fewer stag and hen parties flying in from abroad (June can be a nightmare) so the cities a bit quieter and easier to get around in. Taxis are reasonably priced and every single driver is a mine of information and opinion. By all means, feel free to strike up a conversation. (As if anyone in Ireland needs prompting! LOL)
Dining
My favorite is The Trocadero on Andrews Street. It's where all the arts folk go - theatricals, poets etc., etc. In my time I've had drinks with Sean Penn and dinner with Stephen Berkoff and have seen luminaries like Nureyev and Byran Ferry. Be sure to book. The steak is outstanding. (Am getting hungry just thinking about it!!) ALSO, don't miss the Horseshoe Bar at The Shelbourne. (Oh, wait, I should keep that to myself!) It's small, it's intimate and like myself this week, you might just find yourself sitting next to Bono.

“The Arlington O'Connell Bridge - NOT for those who want an early night!!!!”

Great location but the hotel runs a nightclub on the ground floor that plays "trendy" pop/dance music LOUD until about 2:30am on weekends. You will not be able to sleep through it! This of course will not be a problem for those who party late into the night, but for those drinkers who prefer to do the lunchtime to 1am shift this will be irritating for you. Aside from the noise the fixtures and the fittings in the rooms do appear to be a bit tired and worn, but the beds are comfortable and the facilities are OK though the TV was a bit too small and there were no biscuits with the tea and coffee making facilities. Staff are helpful and will book a taxi and keep your luggage safe for you after you check out. I'd recommend this to late night revelers only!

Area recommendations
I'd recommend staying a bit further north of the river, for e.g at the Maldron Hotel Parnell Square. It's small walk from all the attractions in the centre of Dublin and Temple bar (though only 10-15 mins!) but it's much quieter than the hotels nearer the river.

“Decent but No Wifi”

Good: Great location, friendly and helpful staff, good restaurant and bar. Not so good: Bed sheets were slightly damp upon check-in, hotel is a little old. The hotel promises wifi internet in the rooms, but (as others have noted) it is not existent. I inquired about this at the front desk, and they said there is no wifi in the rooms, only in the lobby. The lobby wifi was also shaky and the electrical outlets are few and old as well.

“Good Value”

This was a perfect location in Dublin. Room was large and clean. Restaurant has live entertainment every night - fun! I could see a couple possible problems to watch out for. 1) Rooms in the old part of hotel where I stayed have no elevator which could be a problem for some. 2) I asked for a room on the third floor to avoid street and lounge noise. This was very quiet, but I guess it wouldn't be so on the first floor).

“Bed Bugs!”

The price was great. The room size was okay. The location is great. Had a bed bug problem, and I came back with a lot of bites.

Area recommendations
Go to the Abbey or Gate Theatre and see an Irish play if possible.

“not impressed”

We stayed two nights in July. Upon arriving in Dublin from Canada and prior to returning to Canada via Dublin airport. We chose the hotel, via the internet, because of the central location to O'Connell street in Dublin. We were extremely disapointed. The hotel itself plus our room was hot and stuffy even though the outside temperature was only about 19 degrees. Check-in time was 2:00 p.m. We arrived at 2:30 p.m.extremely tired and were told to come back in an hour because our room was not available.We came back at 3:30 p.m. and the hotel staff were still scrambling to get us a room (they said staff were installing ironing boards). The room was hot and stuffy,the window opened about one inch at the top. There was noise all night from the traffic on the street outside, plus drunken revellers. So we got about two or three hours sleep. They advertised a shuttle bus from the the hotel to the airport for seven euros but when we asked to book the shuttle they admitted they had no drivers. So why advertise?

“We will return”

My husband and myself took his elderly parents for a 4 day break to Dublin. We couldn't have chosen a better hotel in a better location. The Arlington was positioned perfectly for site seeing and access to public transport. The staff at the Arlington were so friendly, welcoming and always happy to help, from the moment we arrived to the moment we returned to pick up our bags to head off to the airport I could not fault the service we received. This was our first time in Dublin and we can't wait to go back, we crammed so much in, but there's still loads more to see, but when we do go back we will definitely being staying at the Arlington Hotel and would like to thank all the staff at the Arlington for an amazing break.

Getting around
I would recommend using the City Sightseeing Tour buses for getting around, they take you to all the major sights and they make getting around easier for the less able, they also give you the chance to experience some of that infamous Irish Craic, totally worth it.
Must see
If you're interested in history then there are so many places that you should go and see, but I would definitely recommend a trip to Kilmainham Gaol. Tours around the gaol is by guide only and it can be quite hard to take in the violent history of the gaol especially surrounding the 1916 Easter Risings, but certainly a must for history buffs.
