“Good hotel - very friendly”

Comfort Inn Smithfield

4 of 5 stars
Dorset, England
Jul 10, 2008

We stayed here after reading Trip Advisor reviews and were not disappointed. The staff on Reception were great and when I mentioned I didn't like lifts, changed our rooms from 4th to 1st floor ones. All the reception and housekeeping staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The hotel seemed very secure and we felt safe in the surrounding area.
We had two double rooms; both were very clean and comfortable, with plenty of room. The beds were extremely large and we slept well. The lighting was good. There were plenty of sockets and two easy chairs and a coffee table as well as a desk. We liked our balcony over looking the square - which was only noisy when the Horse Fair was on, and that added some local colour and atmosphere which we enjoyed (otherwise Smithfield area rather characterless). The bathroom was a good size with plenty of space to put things; there was an iron and ironing board; the TV/DVD player was fine; if we had brought our laptop we would have used the free internet . The rental card for the DVD hire shop over the road was a bonus for our teenager too, as was the ice machine! We did not eat in the hotel, taking the advice of other Tripadvisor members and using the Fresh Supermarket next door - great fresh orange juice and croissants, and also good for sandwiches to take on picnics and late night snacks.
We disagreed on the location. It was not quite lively enough for our teenager - she would have liked to have been nearer the centre and the shops. I also felt it was a bit far out (about 20 mins walk from Temple Bar) and that the area of Smithfield was run down and lacking in resturants and character. My husband however felt it was OK as the Luas tram line was so close by and it was a lot quieter than central Dublin where he had stayed on a previous occassion. It was also close to the Guiness Storehouse and Phoenix Park.
We would probably stay here again - if we didn't it would be because of the location and not because of the hotel itself which we were extremely happy with.

The reviews of this hotel in my opinion are a little misleading. The hotel is fine, in fact it is very nice, but it isn't a 4 star or one of the best n Dublin.

However, for the price, location (which is about 10/15 mins from shops and Temple Bar) and service, the location is very very good.

The rooms are comfortable and clean, staff pleasant and public areas modern. The breakfast was just ok and could have had a wider selection of hot food. If this isnt included in your room rate, there is a very nice deli/ supermarket literally next door.

Overall I would definately recommend this hotel, but if you have a larger budget or would like a more luxurious place stay stay, there are other options.

One thing I would like to say is that when our flight from Dublin was cancelled because or radar failure and we had to rebook and return to the hotel, the staff were very accomodating and allowed me to use their reception computer to make arrangemens when the pay computer in reception was not working.

The hotel really was just o.k. The rooms were bigger then typical European rooms but there was nothing special about the hotel. One major problem was the hotel is in a building that is connected to other people's apartments. On Friday evening after dinner we came back to the hotel and the tenant in the apartment next to us was playing music very loudly. The hotel staff was quick to respond and said they would move our rooms but that was unnecessary because the music stopped after about an hour. I probably would look for another place next time I travel to Dublin. If you do choose this hotel be aware if your room is the last in the hallway because right next to your room is apartments owned by someone other then Comfort Inn.

“Nice hotel, great value”

Comfort Inn Smithfield

Jul 7, 2008

We found this hotel through a website package and were very pleased with our stay. While it is not right in the heart of town, it is within reasonable walking distance and close to transportation. We did not book, and did not expect, luxurious accommodations, but the Comfort Inn is virtually brand new and all the amenities are well appointed. Even the little on-site restaurant was surprisingly good. If I returned to Dublin, I might stay somewhere else to experience a different neighborhood, but I would definitely recommend this hotel.

“Disappointed”

Comfort Inn Smithfield

2 of 5 stars
London, England

1/2 found this review helpful

Was a little disappointed with this hotel after reading the reviews. It was slightly further out of the way than I expected, which was a factor given the constant rain - a persistent feature of life in Ireland! Although I was impressed that the hotel got in touch with me the day before my arrival to confirm the details of our booking I was less than impressed with the fact that I then had to wait two hours for one of the rooms I had booked to become available, although I was initially told this would be ready in 25 minutes. The free internet in the rooms was a plus though. The breakfast was good too.

They were good about trying to get us a taxi to the railway station when we checked out , since it was out of the way and there weren't many taxis about, and chased it up without being prompted.

The overall impression was that the place was a bit scruffy but adequate for a quick one night stay - I certainly wouldn't stay any longer and don't intend to stay there again - I'd choose somewhere a bit more central next time.
