"close to sights/shopping"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
We loved it - great location, staff and breakfast. Lovely, large second floor room.
"Nice Place"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The Hotel was clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi was free in the lobby. It was a short walk from where the airport bus dropped us off and shopping/restaurants. Most of the tourist spots are a bit farther, but still very walkable.
"Good Value"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The Ardmore is a clean, modern hotel that has power showers and staff that are friendly. The food served is well prepared and affordable. For the money it can't be beat, but if you want nice pillows, soft towels& cozy bedding then you should spend the extra money to get them. Those of us who prefer value over the little "extras" would love this hotel. The 15 minute bus ride into downtown wasn't bad unless you JUST missed the bus and have to wait another twenty minutes to get on. It is a great location for a first night into Dublin or your last because it is only 15 minutes to the airport!

"Close enough to everything, far enough for quiet"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 3, 2012
Very pleasant. We stayed directly in temple bar 3 nights before and wanted one night of quiet before we left. Receptionist was extremely helpful and even mailed a postcard for me so I wouldn't have to walk. Would stay again.

"O'Callaghan Davenport - Dublin"
O'Callaghan Davenport - Dublin, 25 minutes from aiport. Staff was extremely helpful. Location within a 5 minute walk to Grafton St. shopping, Book of Kell's and many museums. Family research locations are within a bus trip or walking distance. Taxi and hop-on hop-off buses just feet from the hotel for ease in getting about the city. Hotel has a full […] Irish breakfast which was good but got boring after a while it would have been good to have other options available. We did not eat dinner at the hotel so I am unable to rate. The room was a bit too warm, easily remedied by opening a window and would not be considered a detraction. Read more

"O'Callaghan Davenport - Not what it used to be"
Many of the services advertised, we were told upon arrival, are no longer offered. When asking for directions, we were misguided over and over. Also, this is not the neighborhood to be lost in, TERRIBLE LOCATION. In fact, we were forced to come back before dark each night, to avoid walking around unsafely. Additionally, at one point, we returned to […] another hotel that we had stayed at previously in Dublin for assistance, because we were so unhappy with the way the staff treated its guests. I would not stay in this neighborhood again, I would not stay at this hotel again. It was a waste of my money. Read more
"Great place! But..."
I never could get the temperature in the room warmer; and it was rather cool. I had a two room suite, and the sitting room was fine in regards to the temperature, but the bedroom was too cool. In all fairness, I didn't contact the hotel about the temperature as I was only there two nights, and was out and about most of the time. Overall the staff was […] fantastic and I'm sure had I contacted them they would have fixed it. Read more
"Great location, pretty good hotel"
I stayed here one night and would probably stay again if there weren't more interesting options. The first room I was first given smelled of cigarette smoke, but after complaining I was quickly switched to another room that smelled fresh. Facilities were adequate, though the ironing board stand was broken. In all, nice enough place, but a bit worn down. […] I think there are probably better places to stay in Dublin for the price.

"Great hotel in a good location."
Really nice old world hotel with a touch of class in every corner. The staff was very helpful and friendly and went way out of their way to help us in any way possible. Except for a couple of idiots that would honk their horns at 3 AM at the Gingerman bar across the street, it was pretty quiet too. The fish and chips across the street at the Gingerman […] were out of this world. I would go back just to have this again, but the lasagna pretty much sucked. We had a really nice stay at this hotel and this would be our #1 choice to future visits. Read more
no concierge staff somewhat not very helpful
"A good base for Dublin travel"
Near Trinity College, Merrion Square, Stephen's green, National museums, Grafton street. About 15 minutes walk to Temple Bar. Grand old building.

"Perfect base of operations for exploring Dublin"
Excellent location, convenient Air Coach stop around corner. Friendly staff. Clean, Large room with all the basic amenities. Would definitely stay again. Great Bargain.
"Great Classic Hotel"
Great hotel. Lots of room. We stayed in another hotel for 3 nights in another area and were pleasantly surprised with the Davenport. We had lots of room and loved the area. Close to Merrion Park and nice neighborhood. Walking distance to shopping and museums. Staff was very nice and helpful with bus line tips. It was a great experience in Dublin.

"Comfortable Dublin hotel in a historic building"
I enjoyed staying at the Davenport with my husband and young daughter (2). My only complaint is that it is a little farther than I would have liked from the main pedestrian zone, which would have been fine for most people, but was a little more challenging with a toddler. The room was comfortable and quiet and especially enjoyable after being on the […] road for over six weeks. They charge for wi-fi or an internet hook-up, but it's reasonable. Read more

After check-in at 2:30 PM on Friday, I promptly submitted laundry to hotel. I was told it would not even be picked up until the next morning & not be returned until 5:00 PM that day, Saturday. This forced me to stay an additional night. The next day, Saturday, at 5:30 PM, when I did not find the laundry in my room & went to the front desk to retrieve […] it, the clerk told me it HAD NEVER BEEN PICKED UP! When I asked to speak to the manager on duty, John, as to how we were going to get this laundry done by 9:00 AM the next day, Sunday, when I had to leave to continue my travels, he became very defensive, saying that they did not have laundry equipment on the premises. He did not at first seem to grasp the situation that I was traveling around Ireland & could not just come to a standstill for a few days over the weekend because one of his staff had neglected to give my laundry to the outside service when they came by to pick it up. Finally, when I remained adamant, John started calling laundry services & found one that was open for another hour but they said that they weren't taking any new orders that night so he hung up. I heard this & animatedly suggested that he call them back & I would talk to them. I explained the urgent situation to the laundry service & they agreed to take it & have it done by 10:00 AM the next morning, Sunday, when they re-opened. By then, John had captured the urgency of the matter & agreed to take the laundry directly to the service himself. The next morning, John was not working so I took a taxi to the laundry service & retrieved it -- washed & stuffed into a bag, not ironed because John had not mentioned anything to them about ironing. (There were 6 dress shirts.) Other problems: The air conditioning in my room did not work upon arrival & I reported it to the front desk. A maintenance man was sent to the room but he was baffled as to why it wouldn't work. He said their regular maintenance man would fix it the next day but no one ever showed Read more

"Nice Hotel near Dublin City Centre"
Clean room, friendly staff
"Gorgeous hotel!"
We stayed at the O'Callaghan Davenport during our honeymoon to Ireland. We knew from the ratings and photos it was a pretty hotel, but we were really pleasantly surprised! The hotel and halls are beautiful and the rooms are gorgeous! Antique style furniture and big comfy beds. We liked this hotel SO much, that we cancelled another hotel stay near the […] end of our trip to stay here another night. It's about a 3/4 mile walk to Temple Bar. You can't beat it for the price. There may be slightly less expensive hotels near Temple Bar and/or Grafton Street - but trust us, it's not worth the HUGE difference in accommodation. Read more

"Nice hotel, good value"
I would recommend O'Callaghan Davenport. This was a good value with very friendly staff.
"excellent hotel for traveler's needs"
located nearby everything necessary, this hotel is above par for it's star-rating...friendly staff and free internet access in hotel lobby...cab stand in front and walking distance to Trinity College, trains, and Temple Bar district--a win-win for those on business and vacation!
"Beautiful hotel with poor service"
Loved this hotel in almost every way. It has old world charm, a wonderful ambiance and is located in a central and classy part of the city. The receptionists at the front desk were either indifferent at best or rude at worst. Thomas has an especially rude and indifferent demeanor.
"Good hotel, location less attractive"
The Davenport was comfortable. I had a nice, large room. Beds are very comfortable. Price was excellent. It's close to Trinity college, a few blocks walk from Grafton St. Not too many amenities in neighborhood. Close to DART. Overall, I think it was a good choice for business people. A little out of the way for tourists.
"Charming Hotel in great location"
Lovely hotel with old world detail and comfort. Too bad the front desk staff is so indifferent, and often rude. If not for this, I would love to recommend this hotel
"Outstanding, Great Location, Friendly Staff"
Very comfortable experience.

"Will not be staying their again unless updated to 4 star standard"
The Hotel needs to be updated and is definitely not 4 star. There was mould on the bathroom ceiling which should have been re- decorated immediately, this presentation one would not expect from a 4 star hotel. The room was spacious. We will not be staying there again.
"I would stay in this hotel again"
The davenport is in a great location if shopping in dublin. Its easy to walk back from any part of town. Also there are many tourist attractions walking distance from hotel. I would say for such a fine hotel the breakfast was not that tasty
"Payment"
Hotel vey good. Great location. Disappointed with hotels. com as payment initially made to them was not on the hotels computer when I went to check out after a 5 day stay. I was obliged to pay for my stay twice and while I was subsequently reimbursed it took furthert phone calls & was definitelly an unexpected inconvenience

"Good Stay"
The hotel is not luxurious but ranks as very good value, particularly for the location and its overal ambience. My room was small but was fine for the time I spent there. If you plan to spend a long time in your room, try for a bigger room. Also, lack of TV channels (such as CNN,Fox,ESPN, Sky etc.) could be a negative for some. I had breakfast buffet […] one day and wished I had done it all days. Very good choice of things to eat, including the usual full Irish. bar is very good and can be quite lively. Would stay agian if price is right. . Read more
"O'Callaghan Davenport and the Internet era ..."
OK, paying for access is always a tolerable disappointment, but having restricted up/download quotas is ridiculous. Especially if you only get 1MB dl even if you pay for 24 hours of access. You can get unlimited access, you then pay €15 for 48 hours. It does not stop there: You'll only able to use one device at one time. So if you and your spouse […] have a Smartphone and a PC each you have to work both you and the devices in shifts ... For safe measure the connection is taken down if you take a small break. It does not seem that it's checked wether the machine is busy downloading for instance. Ironic part: Go to a pub and it's not unlikely that you'll find free, fast and stable WiFi access. Read more
"O'callaghan Davenport in Dublin"
Beautiful city centre hotel. Very convenient location, could walk to temple bar, graften street, o'connell street and grand canal theatre all within 10 mins. Hotel was very comfortable and extremely clean. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful.
"O Callaghan Davenport"
I asked for a quiet room, i was given one right by the main exit, where the door squeaked all night, i hardly had any day light. The shower tap constantly fell off, you could not turn on either of the taps in the bathroom, without them whizzing round, the bath constantly "guggled" all night and the smell of bad drains in the morning was putrid!
"OldFalcon"
Overall a good hotel with good room cleaning. There is a weakness in the current room’s maintenance. The phone was removed from the bathroom. On the wall hangs a bunch of wires. So I have missed important calls. Some tiles in the bathroom are broken. It makes sense of abandonment.
"O'Callaghan Davenport Dublin"
