Location is 100% perfect for Luas travel and shopping areas. The room was on the small side though. I will stay again.
Everyone was very friendly and courteous
Lovely hotel very central to everything staff friendly drinks lovely rooms adequate for our needs great shower and very clean throughout
Staff are excellent - always so helpful. Room Price on this occasion was a little too high.
The staff was great, everyone was very helpful and friendly throughout my stay!
Had a fantastic stay at Motel One Dublin and couldn’t recommend it more highly. From the moment I arrived, everything felt effortless – the hotel is stylish, spotless, and perfectly located for exploring the city. A special mention has to go to Brian, the General Manager, who clearly sets the tone for the entire place. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests really stood out and made the experience feel that bit more personal. The rooms were comfortable and beautifully designed, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was welcoming and calm, making it a perfect base after a busy day in Dublin. Overall, an excellent experience – I’ll definitely be back.

very smooth check in, clean and tidy rooms. the girl on reception was very friendly and helpful
Great location, friendly staff and a good breakfast. Everything I'm looking for in a hotel.
Small rooms
We arrived at the hotel in Dublin far too early. We were hoping to leave our suitcases there for the next few hours, but to our pleasant surprise, we were allowed to check in straight away. The reception staff at this hotel are very service-oriented. They also responded appropriately to other questions and requests. This alone made our stay very pleasant. The room was clean and spacious enough. The location is brilliant!
Staff helpful. Clean hotel and large, pleasant bar area.
Excellent location with very helpful staff. Room was very clean and very functional. Very good selection of food at the Breakfast buffet . Well done Motel One.
Great hotel,great staff,great room., great location. Breakfast very expensive for what you got. Toaster wasnt working one day.. if i knew how bad it was i would not have paid the 67 euros for 2 of us for 2 days breakfast. Very dissatisfied with this.
I stayed with a group visiting Dublin for business, the staff was very helpful, friendly and approachable, especially Joanna who helped us organise a good stay for our group.
Fabulous!! Rooms are fresh and clean Location is perfect for walking around city.
Breakfast Place too small. Had to use Lounge chair which was really uncomfortable. Cutlery was empty at some times.
Outstanding Supporting staff, very friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and modern. Two of three lifts out of service but we all managed . Breakfast staff very nice and warm with excellent choices , all fresh and delicious to start our day. I appreciated the smoke free experience, and green earth initiatives.Thank You!
Very good location close to everything. Nice staff, helpful and polite. Value for the money. A living lobbybar 24/7
Very close to the centre. Lovely and clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly
Reception was a highlight by being super helpful and friendly
Excellent Hotel. Really calm and well positioned. A few steps away Temple Bar. However, it's 0 noisy so able to have good night of sleep. I'm traveling a lot but it's clearly one of my best hotel. Recommend without any hesitation.
Not everything was perfect , but your staff very helpful and eager to fix my thermostat problem. Error code comes up after a few hours of working ok. Then it begins blinking and this reflects on the mirror into your face at 3 am!
Beautiful hotel, rooms are a little small but cute. Not very good the breakfast with only cold food for 16€.
Breakfast is not very good. No fresh eggs. Nothing is fresh or appetizing. Coffee machines are too slow. If people want Starbucks quality coffee you should have a machine. But for people like me who just want a couple cups of good coffee you should have a coffee urn. Your rooms are way too small. No room for luggage or to even turn around. You essentially have an uncomfortable hotel and as a result nothing is easy or pleasant about staying at your hotel.
Room is far too small to be comfortable for 2 people.
I stayed at the One Motel in Dublin and overall had a very positive experience. I found everything welcoming and well organized. The check-in process was very easy, and check-out was just as smooth. The room was very clean, and the bathroom was spotless as well. The room size was good and comfortable, with enough space for a pleasant stay. I expected the room view to be a little better, as I was hoping to see something nicer. I also would have really appreciated having a minibar or at least a fridge in the room, which was something missing for me. Apart from that, everything else was convenient and comfortable. The spaces were well designed and practical. One thing that could definitely be improved is the television service, which was quite slow and laggy when using the channels or programs. The price was also a little high, but overall I had a good stay and would still recommend it.
Excellent position, very flexible checkout time (until 12) and nonstop bar service. The room was very clean and warm. The only negative point was its view on the courtyard.
Good, room and bathroom clean but quite small, never enough tea, sugar & milk supplied but extras freely given on request and only disposable cardboard cups. Bed comfortable. Convenient location, easy to walk everywhere.
Comfortable and clean surroundings in the ideal location of Dublin
Staff is great but room temperature remained too hot for my comfort - thermometer flashed continuously & I reported that twice but nothing done about it. Had to sleep either windows open to cool down room.
Staff were very friendly at the front desk and bar. Location is great and room was tidy and comfy!
The staff was wonderful. The location was perfect. Our room was wonderful as well.
The hotel is perfectly located in the city center and very easy to find. It was extremely clean and the reception staff were friendly and welcoming. After checkout, I was able to leave my luggage safely in their organized storage room with tagged bags, which was very convenient. The service was both professional and flexible. Breakfast was varied and very good.Overall an excellent stay.
Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff, the location can’t be beat. Joanna at the front desk couldn’t be friendlier and more helpful. Staying here is an easy choice to make
The location and standard of the property was ideal and although the room was quite small it was clean and comfortable. Shout out to Illiiaya (Illieas?) the young guy on the front desk when we checked in. He was really helpful and professional with advice (it was our first visit to Dublin) and helped us out with a later checkout on our day of departure as we were only stopping over after a long haul flight from Australia. Service like this keeps people coming back.
Location, clean room and friendly staff. Great 3 day stay. Breakfast excellent as well.
Clean rooms, friendly staff, even when we pushed the boundaries. They had our room ready before check in time. So grateful for that.
I have stayed at several Motel One's before and the Dublin twice. It is a great chain, it is reasonably priced and modern. The bar is excellent. I would like to give an acknowledgment to two employee. 1. Juan I had several encounters and all were greeted with a smile and the issue/question answered to my satisfaction. 2. Efa (hope I spelled it correctly) it is E the Fa. Knowledgeable, Knowledgeable, Knowledgeable. She is a treasure.
Perfect location, nice people, no problems when we needed to stay longer for 2 nights due to strike. Would be happy to come back!
Fantastic rooms. Always clean and tidy. The staff at the front desk are always super helpful. I have stayed at this hotel 4-5 times now and it is always wonderful service.
No comments, excellent. Staff, location, room, breakfast all very good
Clean, organized, comfortable. Bartenders, breakfast workers and front desk all professional and courteous,
I was very happy to rest when I got in from my flight at 9:30am. A good hot shower and a nice breakfast the next morning made my stay delightful.
great hotel - staff friendly. rooms comfortable.
Great location easy to get to straight off the luas
Everything was fine, clean, the staff were helpful. However, I only needed to stay one night, but the app wouldn’t let me book only one night of a weekend so I ad to book two, which I didn’t need. So if this happens again, I won’t be staying with you again.
Everything was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful!
Great location, easy check in and check out, cleaning staff was friendly. Wifi was a little slow, but that's a minor issue.
Viele motel ones besucht - in Dublin stach das Personal besonders heraus. Durch all Etagen und Abteilungen! Zimmerreinigungspersonal + Rezeption insbesondere - Speed & Kompetenz. Only tiny draw back: fully aware that Dublin overall is an expensive place, and that there is dynamic pricing in place. However, looking at the weekend rates now getting at over € 200,- Ouch. Esp. in the comparitively small Standard rooms (sqm). That elevates expectations to next level hotels, e.g. bath slippers, FRESH orange juice, etc.
Switch on. beOne.

Hotels in Dublin
Following in the footsteps of James Joyce
Picturesque streets, bright red brick buildings, the captivating sound of pipes – Dublin is pure poetry. It’s no wonder that the literary greats feel so at home here. James Joyce in particular was fond of the Irish capital. His declaration of love? ‘When I die, Dublin will be written on my heart.’ It’s not for nothing that he dedicated an entire collection of short stories to the city of the shamrock – and with great success.
To this day, Dubliners is considered a masterpiece of Irish literature. But there are other poets and thinkers who also fell helplessly under the spell of Ireland’s charm, among them Jonathan Swift, Sean O’Casey, Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett. Dublin well deserves its UNESCO title of City of Literature.

A Harry Potter welcome
Narrow winding streets, quaint pubs, Gothic churches – Dublin’s old town looks as though it could have been taken from a Harry Potter film. Even Trinity College looks remarkably similar to Hogwarts. The prestigious university has sat enthroned in the heart of the Irish capital since 1592 and has produced a great number of creative minds, from Jonathan Swift to Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett. How many hours are they likely to have spent poring over books in the Long Room? But young students certainly don’t come to this time-honoured part of the Trinity College library just to learn. Book a guided tour of the Long Room and enjoy hearing amusing anecdotes about the student life of Oscar Wilde and his fellow alumni.
Harry Potter would feel just as comfortable in Temple Bar as at Trinity College. In this lively district with its narrow cobblestone streets, Dublin shows its party side, with Irish pubs lined up one after the other. And the best thing is that in the evening, the traditional Irish pubs transform into concert venues. After all, a pint of Guinness tastes all the better when it’s accompanied by live music.
Speaking of Guinness: anyone with a weakness for the Irish stout shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the Guinness Museum. Take a look back at the beer’s 250-year history and get to know the culinary heart of Dublin a little better. And after the theory, of course, comes the practice. Round off your visit to the museum with a chilled Guinness in the Gravity Bar and enjoy breathtaking views of the city at the same time. Sláinte!
But now it’s back to Dublin’s incredible Harry Potter backdrop: St. Patrick’s Cathedral is an absolute must-see. Its namesake gave us the famous St. Patrick’s Day, which is celebrated every year on 17 March – in Ireland’s national colour, green, of course. Legend has it that Dublin’s national cathedral was built based on a small chapel from the fifth century where St. Patrick himself baptised people with holy water. Had enough history? Then the small park right next to St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the perfect place to relax.
