Top National Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the ambience as soon as we walked into the lobby. Check-in staff were so accommodating and friendly. The room fit all our needs. Everything was very clean. One suggestion: add a small fridge to the rooms."

The Mercantile Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were available 24 hours, and very accommodating and helpful"

The Mont

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great. Gym was great"

The Chancery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We traveled in a group of three couples and had a comfortable and enjoyable two-night stay. Our rooms and bathrooms were lovely (as Americans we found the full-size beds to be too small but of high quality). The staff were wonderful and manager Anthony was very helpful in recommending restaurants and even securing a reservation on a Saturday night for six of us. We had an excellent meal. Thank you, sir. Excellent location: quiet yet very near significant sights. Too close to Dublin Castle whose heavily secured meetings cause walking back to the hotel to be confusing at times (some approaches are blocked)."

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"What a great experience in the heart of Dublin! Highly recommend!"

Hilton Garden Inn Dublin City Centre

8/10 Good

"The staff was lovely with an early check-in, parking, and many Dublin area questions we had."

The Morgan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an issue with our room the first night, being in the front of the hotel it is very noisy. The next morning Theresa at the front desk was able to move us to a quieter section and the rest of the stay was excellent…Theresa went out of her way to make sure we were accommodated and enjoyed our stay…..She’s a definite asset to the Morgan Hotel!"

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone who I encountered was very kind and caring."

Zanzibar Locke

10/10 Excellent

"Truly a wonderful location in Dublin, very central and easy to get around everywhere by walking or taking a bus - even the DART train to visit Malahide, Howth, Bray, etc out of the city is a 16 min walk away. The front desk was incredibly helpful and made the stay seamless and comfortable, and the room was perfectly comfortable for a longer stay. All in all, a great spot for enjoying Dublin!"
