The Davenport

Superb

Quite expensive but up to...

Liked: Modern up to date
Disliked: We don’t like bed toppersOnly 2 tea bags

It was pleasant, good location...

Liked: Breakfast was good, though could have been much warmer
Disliked: Room was a bit dark, nothing to look out at, bar a shaft / wall. Needs spotlights in room to make it brighter when getting ready. As we were attending a wedding later in day, we requested fresh towels twice, they never appeared !!

Don't waste your money

Liked: The location is good, but there are a lot of other hotels in the same area.
Disliked: The room had debris on the carpet from previous guests; the towels were stained and threadbare; the staff was unhelpful and, at times, combative. The restaurant was ok, at best. Stayed a year ago and thought it was great. This time? An absolute mess.

Exceptional

You will pay a premium...

Liked: Safe and clean hotel with present and attentive staff
Disliked: Price was a bit high

Perfect hotel for your Ireland...

Liked: Great location very well kept and top notch facilities
Disliked: Nothing

Very good

Liked: Clean. We arrived early and staff were very helpful and accommodating
Disliked: Room was small for the amount paid. Quite a bit of street noise early in the morning .

I'd stay elsewhere next time.

Liked: Location was good, easy walk to lots of destinations. Talking Oscar Wilde statue in nearby park was a highlight.
Disliked: Staff was not proactively helpful, even when we obviously had a 91 year old grandmother with us. They were fine when engaged, but there was clearly a lack of interest in the guests. They strongly advised we try the red hop-on-hop-off bus - what terrible advice (slow, infrequent buses, buggy app, you'll waste your day - stay away!). We got home after a long day and the room had not been made up, no new coffees. Finally we had asked for two rooms near each other so the younger adults could help the seniors in the second room, but they put us on two completely different floors. No apology, not even an acknowledgement why this was difficult. At these prices, I expect premium, intelligent and proactive service. Instead the service here was robotic and indifferent.
