We visited Dublin just 5 days ago and choosed to stay in Longfields hotel as the hotel was recommended by the Spanish newspaper El Pais. In fact this was the only hotel recommendation in article about Dublin.
The hotel was lovley. We did not have any hassle to make the booking. We were greeted very warmly and received from reception the general managers welcome letter and city map.
Rooms are not big but they are clean and comfortable.
We got the room which had just been renovated. The staff is very helpful and always there for you.
Breakfast served was something we never had in any other hotel. You can mix both buffet and cooked breakfast. Even it was busy weekend everything was organised and run smoothly. I have read other reviews here and I think that many of them dont actually make justice to this hotel.
We had perfect weekend and will always come back to this hotel when in ireland

Our flight from the US was cancelled and we promptly let the management know we could not use our reservations for two rooms. This enabled the hotel to rent our rooms and therefore the hotel did not lose out on our cancellation. They still charged us the full fee! They got two nights of fees for each room!! This is unethical and in the U.S. illegal.
Stay away from hotels such as this one with a ridiculous 48 hour cancellation policy especially since one doesn't have complete control over transportation.

Found this hotel on the visitdublin.com site and chose it for price in relation to standard and location. I like a hotel with a bit of charm and if I'm staying in Dublin I want a proper Georgian hotel. Was not dissappointed. Sure you can find more luxury and even better location for 2 or 3 times the price we paid, but for the price (paid about 100 Euro with breakfast for 2) and location this was better than expected and more than adequate for our needs - a romantic weekend away on a budget.

We had a room on the first floor, quiet, comfortable large bed (sheet and blanket - not duvet!), pleasant oldy-worldy decoration and furniture, not new but acceptable, not large but enough to move about. Window in room couldn't be opened, but when we turned down the radiator the temperature and ventilation was comfortable (OK in January - but might be a problem in summer). Adequate small bathroom with bath and plenty of hot water.

The staff were very friendly and helpfull, gave us good directions on the phone, helped with the bags, gave plenty of good information and price at checkout was as expected. Only negative here was no late checkout. No parking with hotel, but night porter will feed a meter for you in the morning. Breakfast is great - full Irish plus good choice from the buffet - kept us going all day.

The hotel is just a short walk from shops, bars and restaurants in Merrion Row and easy walk of the town centre. there is also a good bus service right into O'Connell Street.

We would definitely stay here again at the price - good value. I couldn't find better at this price in a good area so close to the city.

I visited this hotel in January in a weekend together with my 16 year old son. The hotel was a pleasant surprise, not to large but very nice and quiet room, nice atmosphere, very helpful and friendly staff. The location was excellent, walking distance to almost all major attractions. Breakfast was very good and tasty. Only the bathroom was small, but clean and sufficient.
I would certainly go there next time and recommend it to friends.
