Ballyloughan Castle

Perfect location for exploring the centre of Dublin! I had just completed a 16 day group tour of Scotland and Ireland, so wanted a place to rest and explore by walking. Grafton Street was a shopper’s dream! I enjoyed very much listening to the street musicians and Marks and Spencer’s food floor supplied fresh to go snacks, breakfast foods and I was even able to make pizza in the studio kitchen. I enjoyed touring Trinity College and the Book of Kells and spent a beautiful afternoon in St Stephens Green, all an easy walk away. Last dinner at Davy Byrnes, highly recommend. Only regret was I left the day of the U2 50th anniversary concert on the balcony of Bewley’s! Hope to stay at Grafton Street Studios again!

Huge bustling hotel in very walkable area. Also ideal for day trips out of the city or to catch the air coach to the airport. Beautiful lounge with excellent bartenders. Front desk staff immediately accommodated my request for a room on a higher floor and were friendly and patient. Sometimes the lobby would get quite full with large groups. I would stay again.

Great location, about 10 minutes walk from the DART station. We had a twin room with a view over the seafront. No noise from passing traffic etc. beds were really comfortable and bathroom was great with a powerful shower. Clean room; had everything we needed. Would definitely come back.
