Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Es war sauber und ein schönes großes Zimmer. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Der Parkplatz war auch geräumig.
Unser Zimmer (20) war genau gegenüber des Housekeeping-Raums. Es wurde schon sehr früh,sehr laut durch laute Gespräche direkt vor unserer Tür. An der Decke über dem Fenster war etwas Schimmel. Leider 40 Minuten zu Fuß bis zur Templebar,aber mit Uber/Taxi nur 15.
Breakfast, friendly staff, parking, room setup

Kostenlose Parkplätze. Das Hotel befindet sich an einer ruhigen Lage. Die Zimmer sind geräumig. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und eine Bushaltestelle befindet sich in der Nähe.
Leider fast eine halbe Stunde, um mit dem Bus ins Zentrum zu gelangen. Kein Lift. Das Frühstückszimmer gehört eher zur kleinere Sorte.
Conforto e localização
O preço é elevado para o tipo de comodidades que dispõe
price, location, accommodation, breakfast, reception staff. I liked that frequent buses to and from downtown left from the corner, as well as the Air Express. It was very quiet.
The room was very small, but I didn't need much space as I was on my own.
Das Zimmer war angenehm groß, sauber und das Frühstück war sehr gut
Het personeel was ongelooflijk vriendelijk. De locatie is echt top - ligt in een superleuke buurt, die toch nog dicht genoeg bij het centrum is en goed bereikbaar is met de bus. Dublin is een dure stad wat betreft accommodatie, maar deze plek was betaalbaar. Wifi verbinding is top.
Ik ben geen fan van vast tapijt in hotelkamers, maar dat is natuurlijk een persoonlijke voorkeur.
L'hôtel est superbe et d’une grande propreté, chambre équipée d’une bouilloire changementdu linge par nuit, , l'emplacement est idéale. Personnel très sympathique .parking privé gratuit
Rien
Buena ubicación. Pudimos aparcar el vehiculo dentro avisándoles de la hora de llegada. El desayuno muy completo, te daban a elegir entre continental o irish. La chica que nos atendio en recepcion, no sabemos su nombre, fue muy amable.
La almohada: había dos opciones y ambas eran excesivamente blandas.
The room was quiet, proximity to Tesco Express, parking.
The room was quite small and very hot so I had to get the fan on but there are no viable surfaces where it could stand as the bedside lockers are tiny and there are lamps on them. The desk is also full of stuff. The walk in shower looks nice but it is impractical as the water goes every where Also, having to do stairs was unpleasant due to my mobility issues.
bardzo miła obsługa, dobre śniadanie, stare apartamenty ze swoistym urokiem
w naszym apartamencie w łazience był niezbyt przyjemny zapach pochodzący od starej kamiennej ściany
Friendly staff, cleanliness of the rooms and comfortable bed/pillows.

Location, clean and friendly staff
Room no 10 was directly at the back door to carpark and inside and back door were banging from very early
I don’t remember requesting a quiet room, most of them here would be I’m sure 👍🏻 Good breakfast well presented Small but comfortable room , staff very pleasant and helpful. Brilliant parking available , off street , this was one of my requested when searching for booking, as I already cancelled another hotel when I found out it wasnt ‘on-site’ parking and additional monies
Maybe if I’d turned up in the heatwave the room may have been warmer than what was comfortable. Slept with window open hence I’d say most rooms were ‘quiet’ slightly further out from city center into more residential areas
Esta alejado del centro en zona residencial y con buena comunicación. Es un hotel pequeño con encanto, limpio y cómodo. Muy buen desayuno
Bardzo miła obsługa gotowa pomóc nawet w niestandardowych godzinach. Smaczne śniadanie kontynentalne. Fantastyczna lokalizacja! W odległości 50m przystanek autobusowy zarówno do centrum Dublina, gdzie dotrzemy w 20min, jak i na południe miasta lub nad morze do Bray czy Dun Laoghaire. Obok Tesco, kawiarnie - nie można chcieć więcej.
Wi-Fi nie zawsze działało.
la gente muy amable
Staff very friendly, great parking and very accommodating. Perfect location close to public transport . Black out curtains, older building but I didn’t hear any noise from other rooms. Fab in the bedroom which was fantastic for the warm weather .
Only thing missing was water in the bedroom but apart from that everything was there.
Great staff, attention to detail, well equipped and very clean
Nothing!
Maravilloso, totalmente recomendable
Accueil du personnel, lieu très représentatif de l' habitat irlandais : extérieur ,intérieur et chambre agencés avec beaucoup de goût .Petit déjeuner très bon et copieux. Nombreux restaurants proches.
Fermeture des fenêtres un peu difficile pour moi même si typiquement adapté au style de la maison.
We had a very pleasant stay at Morehampton Townhouse. After letting the property know in advance, getting a parking space on site was very easy, and parking was free of charge. We received a very friendly welcome from the staff, who explained everything we needed to know. The townhouse itself is beautiful, with high ceilings, old windows and lots of historic character. The building is protected and has an interesting history, which you can read about in the guest information provided. Our room was a good size, as was the bathroom, and everything was very clean. We also didn't hear any other guests inside the building, so it was very quiet in that respect. The location worked very well for visiting Dublin. Several bus connections make it quick and easy to get into the city centre, so there was no need to use the car. Overall, a beautiful and characterful place to stay with friendly staff, convenient free parking and good connections to central Dublin. We would definitely recommend it.
The only minor downside is that some traffic noise from outside can be heard quite clearly. Given the age and protected status of the building and its original windows, this is understandable, but light sleepers may want to keep it in mind.and bring some oropax
Location, friendly and good value. Very clean.
Very early checkout at 11am - but everything else was satisfactory.
Good location. Good to have a car park.
No bottles of water in the room. Decor was tired. Dusty around the windows. Noise from traffic.
Good location
A bit dated
Le petit dejeuner et le parking. La taille de la chambre.
Il manque des étagères dans la salle de bain. L'attache du pommeau de douche n'est pas réglable.
Location was excellent and parking was a bonus.
Lumpy bed. A little dated inside.
Pulizia accoglienza e rapporto qualità prezzo
Niente da dire
Lovely staff and breakfast!
Nothing really!
Location parking & breakfast
Rome was a little tight but fine to be fair
Very comfortable clean and safe
El hotel estaba bien situado. Tenía autobuses cercanos que pasaban cada poco tiempo para ir al centro. También contaba con tiendas de comida al lado y con buenos locales de comida (The Happy Out). El personal era muy agradable. Había plazas de aparcamiento. Habitación básica (con todo lo necesario, aunque algo húmeda) y limpia.
La zona de parking es bastante pequeña. No hay ascensor, por lo que si vais con carro de bebé (como era mi caso), tendréis que subir escaleras con él. Las dimensiones de la habitación son justas.
Good location. Comfortable, clean and good car park. Tasty breakfast and friendly staff.
Le confort la situation le parking le petit déjeuner
The location was great and so are the staff!
Propreté Service Personnel sourillant parking privé
Nettes sympathische Hotel . In wenigen Minuten konnte man mit dem Bus ins Zentrum fahren. Freundliches Personal.
Nice large room, parking on site.
Very nice and cosy Rooms.I would like to Stay again over there
The price was slightly higher than expected
The neighborhood, the breakfast
The room was very warm, the breakfast for a child 3 years old should be free y paid almost the same than an adult . The persons in the reception told us diferent information one of them told us that the breakfast for children was for free but at the end we must paid
It wasn’t too far from Howth
The staircases
Location molto suggestiva, è una townhouse antica, con grandi finestre e una bellissima scala interna. Le camere sono molto pulite e con tutto il necessario. Il personale è gentilissimo e disponibile a fornire informazioni, e c'è una abbondante e deliziosa colazione. Hanno un parcheggio privato gratuito per alcune auto, che abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo dopo il trauma iniziale (per noi europei) della guida a sinistra. Comoda per raggiungere il centro con i mezzi.
Location. Homely atmosphere
'Smelly stuff' in the room please its toxic and overpowering .
Outstanding breakfast 🥣. Lovely staff expecially the lady in breakfast room. She was so nice and like you could see she was proud of the food she served . Food was delicious along with rooms ect .
Veilige parkeerplaats voor onze moto
El barrio. Las habitaciones.
Las escaleras. No está acondicionado para movilidad reducida. No hay ascensor.
De vriendelijke ontvangst, de grootte van de kamer, de gratis parkeerplaats, het goed verzorgde enuitgebreide ontbijt, de ligging op loopafstand van het centrum van Dublin.
De matrassen voelden gedateerd aan
Stupenda in un quartiere tranquillo.
Ruhige Lage, saubere Zimmer
Kein Aufzug vorhanden, altes Gebäude und dadurch knirscht alles
Mostly everything but.......
Very hot during the summer, Fan provided in room was useless and open window didn't help, But I understand having air conditioning isn't cheap
Nice staff, good breakfasts, comfortable rooms, easy access to downtown by bus. Close by a really nice park. Across the street from food shops and a pharmacy. We liked the second floor bedroom number 25.
A bit noisy on the windows facing the main Morehampton Road traffic, but nothing we couldn’t handle even with the windows open for the heat.
Personale gentilissimo ed accogliente, camera confortevole, con letti comodissimi. Vicino al centro, sicuramente consigliato
Heerlijk ontbijt, mooie kamer en badkamer, bushalte vlakbij, vriendelijk personeel
Mindere WiFi
We stayed here to go to a match in the Aviva. We availed of the free parking, and the accommodation was walking distance to the stadium in a lovely location. There's a Tesco express, chemist and bar serving food across the road. The room was lovely with very high ceiling, beautiful character. Staff particularly the receptionist was lovely and helpful as she pointed out the pub for a quick bite before we headed to the match. Breakfast was also great, it wasn't included in the room price but we paid for it when we arrived and well worth it. I would definitely consider staying here again.
Can't think of anything.
Mit dem Bus in die Innenstadt gelangt man in 20 Minuten. Das Zimmer war geräumig und hatte auch Wasserkocher und Tee. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut.
Unser Dreibettzimmer war mit im Erdgeschoß mit Blick zum nicht so schönen Hof mit Parkplatz und man hörte tagsüber immer ein Kühlgerät.
Our rooms were quite small but they were equipped with everything we needed. The bathroom was quite big though! The beds were also really comfortable. Check-in was smooth and they had reserved a parking space for us in advance, which was super nice of them.
I don't know what it was exactly but it was quite noisy in my room in particular. It sounded like someone had left their water running all the time, which was a bit annoying. Also my shower doors wouldn't closely completely as something was wrong with one side.
