4-Star Hotels in County Dublin, Ireland

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great location, everything is within walking distance. Many of Dublin’s main attractions are nearby, which makes it perfect for exploring the city. The aparthotel was clean and the room was modern and comfortable. Highly recommended!

I decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked. Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance. The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre. Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well. Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home. The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want. Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff were available around the clock to cater to our every need and made this such a special trip. Thank you so much

I booked this hotel the night before boarding the ferry at Dublin Port. Found the location good and amenities met my needs. There is a bar restaurant that sometimes gets busy so booking could be a good idea.

Very near to airport. Choose this hotel because of the early shuttle service which gives me ease of mind. The hotel staff immediately arranged a taxi for us free on the house when the shuttle bus did not arrive on time. Very good service!

This hotel was the most satisfying booking of our trip. It's located right in the city center, and you can catch a bus right outside to Trinity College and the Guinness Storehouse. The Aircoach stop is just across the street from the hotel entrance, so getting around is incredibly convenient. The hotel facilities are pretty good, clean and tidy. There are no bottled water in the room, but you can find purified water and an ice machine by the elevators on each floor. Even though it's not bottled water, it was the best-tasting water we had on this trip; I always find other bottled mineral water to have a strange taste.

My husband and I had been planning this trip to Dublin for quite some time. And when we found this beautiful boutique hotel online, we were so excited. As soon as we arrived And checked in, there was a lot going on in the lobby area, so it was a little overwhelming. We saw a lady at the desk, but we weren’t sure that she actually worked there because she didn’t greet us. Didn’t even look our way. It seemed like she had a general disinterest or disdain for us being there. I asked, “Is this the front desk to the hotel?” To which she responded in a monotone voice, “Yes.” I was shocked that this was the first impression of the hotel that we were getting. What made it worse was that my husband was told that we needed to put a card on hold and he proceeded to tap his card thinking that it was like all the other places we had been to in Ireland. But it didn’t work. Several times he tapped it and it showed nothing. He asked the lady, “does your tap work? Do you have tap?” To which she replied a curt, “no.” Mind you, she was standing there the entire time and could see the entire situation. This interaction was such a bummer, and this made our short trip to Dublin feel a little sour.  To be honest, not all of the stuff was like that morning. We woke up to get a coffee downstairs, and the gentleman that works at the coffee bar was very warm. A young Spanish speaking man. He was absolutely amazing; patient and willing to answer any questions About the items on the menu And the different pastries available.  Overall, the hotel was a mixed bag. It had a very chic vibe but outside of that lovely gentleman, their customer service can definitely improve!

The hotel location was very close to the red line tram and several bus stops including the dublin express bus stop. It is around 20 minutes by local transportation from downtown. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and had all you may need. The air conditioning was good. There’s a working space on the ground floor that you may use for free any time you like even after checkout till 5 pm. There’s a 24 hour reception. They offer luggage storage.

It was a great stay overall. The location was perfect. It was near the center of Dublin. But was set in a quiet neighborhood just outside it. It is a doable walk to a park set along the water. I loved the Medieval Theme. The staff was friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. The dual shower heads are a nice setup. .Request a view of the front of the hotel. The only potential negative is the distance from the airport and the train.

I did not feel safe in the in the hotel, On arrival back we came out of the lift on the 5th floor and there was a man lying on the ground on his phone, he sat up against the wall as we approached him right outside our room. Throughout the night there was a lot of male voices really loud outside my room which was quite intimidating. My husband was leaving at 4am to catch a flight to Scotland and I was afraid in the room on my own. I was worried about the guy in the corridor when I had to go for my breakfast in the morning so I did not sleep much. I did not say anything to reception because I was afraid the person would knock on my door while i was in there on my own. I paid $315 for my 1 night stay and I was not made aware this was a hotel for refugees/immigrants. I have no problem with people seeking refuge, I do have a problem with feeling intimidated by people lying on the floor in the corridor and men talking outside at all hours Let people know this is a hotel that is used for accomodation for refugees and maybe don't charge as much. If you have people living in the hotel, tell them to have consideration for other guests and stay in their rooms and not to be making so much noise in the corridors. As a woman on my own staying here I felt really intimidated by a big man lying on the floor outside my room and it worried me all night even with my husband there until 4am. I would not recommend your hotel and I will never stay there again. I will be putting a review on google.
