The Samuel Hotel

Trampy

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Everything. One of the worst hotel experiences we've had. From the ripped and blood-stained curtains, dirty carpets, air conditioning that was pre-set from a warm 19° minimum - that despite being left on for 8+ hours only made the room hotter, the cheap knock-off espresso machine, the tiny bedrooms, to the faulty lifts and vacant staff; it was a travelodge / trampy party hotel experience from start to finish. Utterly appalling.

the accommodations were great

We would return

Liked: Hotel was lovely and clean. Staff were friendly and the breakfast buffet was amazing it literally had everything. Room was spacious and clean also with heaps of complementary bits. Only downfall was the noise from drain in the shower. Would recommend this hotel and we would return with fingers crossed for no drain issues the next time.
Disliked: Only downfall was the drain in the shower was making bubbling noises like trapped air or something on and off for the duration. I paid extra for a room upgrade, so I was slightly disappointed that no compensation or discount was offered for this, as it kept me awake most of the night.

Very good

Modern hotel with good transport...

Liked: The hotel is very new, about a 30-minute walk from Trinity College, with supermarkets nearby. The tram stops right at the door and it’s only a 10-minute walk to the Dublin Express bus stop for the airport. Check-in and check-out are easy with self-service kiosks, and the staff guide you if needed.
Disliked: There are few cafés in the area, and on Sundays only the hotel’s own café is open. Cleaning was a bit slow – one day only the towels were changed and the beds left unmade, although it improved when we used the ‘make up room’ sign. The price was high, though this was mainly due to the Oasis concert raising city prices in general.

Great stay great location great...

Liked: Clean and exactly how described
Disliked: On way to check into our room at 2pm someone had left half eaten room service in hall. On return to our room after 11pm the tray was still there. Even the next morning

Very good
