Beresford Hotel - Dublin

When we arrived there our reservation said it was the Isaacs hotel but the hotel name was different. We sorted it out, where the Isaacs is a hostel and the had recently changed their name from Isaacs. It was nice. Nothing fancy, but your basics are all there. You will get some noise at night, but remember you are in a good location in a big city, so […] just get used to it. It was not bad for us after having a few pints of Guinness :) Hotel desk was very helpful with directions and keeping our luggage after checking out for a few ours. Read more

The hotel is right across the street from the bus station and there's also trams going by, so it's a little noisy all the time. This didn't affect my sleeping, but if you're a light sleeper you probably shouldn't stay at this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. Most sights are within a reasonable walking distance […] (not for kids however), but there are a few things you'd need to take a bus to see. Read more

The hotel is an old one and close to the downtown. The room was clean however there were no chairs in the room, the bath was falling apart but working. There was only one reading lamp by the beds. The hotel is across the road from the bus station so its handy. To get wifi you had to pay 6eruo a day extra. The food in the resturant was good but the staff […] seemed to think we were an interuption to their work especially the head hostess. Some of the front desk people were helpful others were not. Overall rating 2 Read more

Very convenient location, immediately across the street from the central bus station. Carpets are a bit worn and some other furnishings showing their age, but very clean and comfortable.

The bar next door had music and bass so loud that your room shakes. It is a nice location, but if you plan on turning in early, this is not the place to stay.

The Isaacs is near a Garda Station, Bus stop, and around the corner from the water front. For the price and the location, you're getting a decent room at a fair price, but know that you will be getting city noise, too. Having been to NY I thought no big deal, I failed to take into account that we'd be 1 or 2 floors off the street rather than 40.

Internet not Free, lot off noise from the street and the other rooms

We really enjoyed our three night stay at this hotel. Room was a bit small, but adequate for the price. Hotel is well maintained and cheerful. Two great restaurants on-site with Kate's Cottage just two blocks away. National bus station is just across the street and city tram stop is just a half a block away. Only a fifteen minute walk to city center […] shopping, tourist sites and pubs. Great location and very nice place to stay. Read more

For the price, everything about Isaac's is totally acceptable -- great proximity to the city sights, decent rooms, clean and well-maintained, though a little on the smaller side (which isn't such a big deal if you spend your time sight-seeing). But if you're gonna to stay here, bring earplugs since half of the building overlooks the main bus terminal […] in Dublin and a very busy Luas stop. Stays loud late into the night. Be prepared!

The Issacs Hotel was close to the bus, train and tram stations. Infact so close you might as well be sleeping on the street with them. Upon arrival, the clerk, Tamara, was so rude she made me feel as though I was lucky to be staying at her hotel. The room we were given was okay for an old hotel. I di not realize it was on the street and so I called […] to find out what time the noise would stop and was told it goes on late and starts early in the morning. We were moved to another room. It was like going through a maze just to get there. We went up to go down and down to go up and then more stairs all the time lugging our luggage. We were told we had an upgrade but believe me, it was no upgrade. We were in the basement in a room that was outside a smoking patio and next to the gym. At least it was quiet. The shower did not drain and the hot water set off the smoke detector. I must say the worst part was trying to find our way out of the room. I think if the desk person, Tamara, had been plesant, it would not have felt so bad. I should have staed at the Ashling and taken the tram into city center. Do yourself a favor and choose a different hotel. You will be glad you did! Read more

Hotel Issacs (not to be confused with Hostel Issacs halfway down the block) is a nice place to stay in Dublin. Its downtown location is convenient for walking to most Dublin sights. It is an old building so rooms are naturally a bit small; and some additional upkeep (such as on bathroom fixtures) would improve the comfort. I stayed in July and there […] was no air conditioning, so I left the windows open at night, however with a hostel only a half a block away and a central bus station next door, I heard a lot of people & vehicular traffic throughout the night. Not for light sleepers. But hey, the price was right. Read more

Me and my GF stayed here for a couple days while seeing Dublin. The Lobby is very inviting with friendly employees. Flyers for things to do and an internet computer that was kind of expensive for me. (Rather find a cheaper internet shop in the city). We took the elevator up a couple of floors and then needed to walk a couple of steps up to the hallway […] where our room was. We noticed that the floor seemed a bit warped and creaky. Ok.. no big deal, its an old building. Our room had the same red carpet as the hallway, there was a couple light spill stains on the one wall, TV was tiny. The bathroom was decent enough. Our window faced the courtyard where people would sit outside for the restaurant which could get a little noisy at times. It didn't bother us too much though. When we got there it was pretty hot and there was no A/C. We had to keep our window open which also let in the restaurant noise. Overall the hotel was pretty good. We just crashed there at night while seeing Dublin during the day. We tried the restaurant and it was very good. Also there is a great place for an Irish breakfast at Isaacs Deli around the block. (We never made it to the hotel breakfast.) On the downside, the rooms were old fashioned. Didn't really like the carpet or bead spread, but seemed clean enough. Having no A/C was a bummer. They serviced our room every day though and staff was friendly. I would recommend this to people that wanna see Dublin. Not if you're going to be in your room most of the time. The location was also right next to a tram stop and bus station. Also within a few blocks of the Temple Bar. They also offered an airport bus service which runs every 2 hours. We missed it on our way in so we took the local bus with the help from the tourist desk in the airport. We were able to use the bus on the way out. We enjoyed our stay in Dublin. Read more

The standard of the hotel was good for a three star and it is only 10 minutes walk to Grafton Street. The only problem I had was the noise from the upper floor, nearby hotels, nightclubs and bus terminus made it difficult to sleep.

i would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in dublin. the location was wonderful-within short walking distance to trolley,train and bus station.

The hotel is located directly across from the central bus station and a walk away from all the main attractions... great location. It exceeded its expectation when considering the priced. Rooms were comfortable and staff was helpful.

For the price that I originally paid for this hotel, it definitely was a good buy. The hotel is conveniently located directly across the street from the Bus Eireann bus station, and is a minute walk to the Busaras LUAS tram stop and a Garda (police station); the Connolly train station is also about a block away, and it's about a ten minute walk from […] the hotel to the city center. The hotel also provides a FREE airport shuttle service, which would normally cost you about 15 - 20 euros p/p. The rooms itself were fairly spacious and also very clean, and I thought the beds were comfortable as well. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel to anyone if you are staying in Dublin.

Room was clean, neat,beds comfortable and had a nice hot shower. Those Are the most important things when your site seeing. The room was on the small side but the bathroom was spacious. Would stay there again.

***** Very happy and impressed with quality of room and service of staff. Highly recommended!

Inexpensive hotels in Europe are usually very small and not nice. You get spoiled if you stay in hotels in America. This hotel was priced nice; like US rates, and comparable to a Hampton Inn, which is saying a lot for inexpensive hotel in Europe. If you are looking for a good rate and satisfied with clean, safe and decent; stay at this hotel.

This hotel was in a great location with close bus stops and a close water to O'Connell Street. The hotel was very nice for the price. I would highly recommend this hotel to someone who wants to be close to the center of the city.

excellent location especially as needed to be near Connoly train station and central dublin. very helpful staff. great italian restaurant in hotel serving excellent food.Only negative is outside train/tram noise and fellow residents noise travels easily through to rooms that seem to have paper thin walls. bring ear plugs! otherwise perfect and good […] value for money. free airport shuttle bus a plus. Read more

good reception service, noisy plumbing, inconsiderate residents, restaurant average, breakfast excellent

Hotel very centrally located within walking distance of O'Connell St. Bus Station & Dart stright outside so super for seeing the sites. Rooms basic & definitely in need of revamp. Had checked other reviews prior to booking & had same complaint as others : cold showers so obviously they don't take much heed of these reviews @ hotel ! Also one of our […] party had leaking roof as patron overhead had early shower. The existing stains on the roof should have alerted us to the problem I suppose. They were moved to much superior room so were not too put out. Bar staff deinitely need to work on friendliness. When we were there barman started closing up @ 22.50 despite normal closing 23.30 which made us all very uncomfortable, no wonder there were so few @ the bar all night. We did not frequent there again as there are other more friendly bars in the immediate area. Celts around the corner is particularly worth a visit. Reception staff very helpful throughout. In a nutshell, good location for City visit provided you are not going to spend too much time in the basic room ! Not worth any more price wise than you will pay on budget deal. Read more

My nine-year-old daughter and I stayed two nights at Hotel Isaacs. The location couldn't be more convenient--directly across the street from the main bus station, Busaras. However, the location is a mixed bag, because of the noise--not so much from the bus station as from the trolleys and the overhead trains that pass regularly until late at night, […] and the partiers who I assume were staying at the nearby hostel. The noise was tolerable for me because I had earplugs and I'm a heavy sleeper, but it could be a problem for others. The building is attractive and well kept, with a certain amount of character, and the staff was very competent and helpful. The lobby is inviting and comfortable. Our room was tiny--space for two beds and a very small desk, and nothing more. We had to pack and unpack our bags on the beds because there was nowhere else to do it. Despite the noise and the small room, I would definitely stay there again if I got the same reduced price. Read more

Cheap hotel at a good location. Our room was facing the railway track and trains were passing by periodically, but the noise was acceptable.

Hotels in the south of the city are expensive, so we decided to go for a hotel in the north. We thought this hotel was conveniently located next to the bus station, as the airport bus stops opposite. We arrived early at the hotel, and fortunately our room was ready so we could drop off our luggage straight away. On our last day they stored our luggage, […] so we weren't burdened with carrying it around. When it was time to go to the airport, we simply picked up our luggage and hopped on the bus. Perfect. The reception and seating area is really smart, but is less smart when you go up to the bedrooms, however quite acceptable. Our twin room was really spacious, nice bedding, new carpet and curtains, but the odd bits of furniture were a little tired. The staff were polite and helpful. We didn't bother with the breakfast which was 12.50 each, but found a fab little cafe a few doors away. Overall though, good value for money in an expensive city. Read more

This hotel is located directly across form the bus station which is convenient. We arrived early and they accommodated our early check in. The internet service in the lobby did not work most of the time. The room was very hot, as was the temperature of the water in the shower, neither of which we had control over. The breakfast was a bit pricey […] for the type of food. It was a nice place overall and I would recommend it. Read more

Great Hotel. Good service. Awesome bar. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. We had a great room for 3 people. (far better than I expected.) The hotel is also in a great location in the sense that is seconds from public transportation and within walking distance of all major tourist sites. However, the surrounding environment is very loud and warm […] with no air conditioner or fans but these are really my only complaints. You will have people at the bus stop out front being loud all night long. Also the tram comes by the front of the hotel all night long and its quite loud as well. Read more

Our room was very hot--windows opened to an alley, but no air flowing. Also a loud nightclub along the alley so was very noisy when trying to sleep with windows opened.

Located right across the street from the bus station. The airport bus makes its final stop there so not long to carry luggage. Not too noisy and buses stop by 11pm anyway and especially by comparison to Temple Bar hotels. The occasional rowdy drunk kid but nothing that should keep you from staying here. Less than 10 minutes walk to O'Connell street […] and from there no more than 10 to half of Dublin's city centre attractions. Read more

Clean hotel, helpful staff, < 100m from the Luas Stop. Ideal place to stay if you're going to a gig in the O2

The new part of the hotel is very nice and so will the restaurant be when opened. Breakfast is fantastic! Location is good, near bus, luas and train station.

The hotel is right infront the Busaras and luas line which makes it ideal if your looking to stay close to the city. The hotel is clean and the room we had was basic abit dated but it good if your only looking for a place to rest your head after a night out or staying for a few days. Wouldn't recommend for long or a romantic stay. Ideal for business […] stay. Read more

Very clean and confortable .staff very friendly

We were originally supposed to stay at the Isaacs hotel in Dublin, however we received a call a week before to say that it needed to be changed to the Best Western as Isaacs hotel had been closed down. On arriving, we were able to check into our room early and were made to feel very welcome. The room was excellent and very clean with all the requirements […] needed. We would definetly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dublin as the location is also excellent. Read more

nice room for price, great central location. terrible breakfast though ie a veggie option is NOT a full english minus the meat, you didnt even add anything extra to make up the difference but cost was the sam - i hate that (oh and there is only a certain number of times you can recook things - reckon my mushrooms were refried half a dozen times\0

The only slightly good thing about this hotel is the location. The hotel is rundown and shabby and way over priced for what you get. The room we stayed is was only okay, it overlooked bus aras so there were noises of buses going in and out all the time, the bed was very uncomfortable we had paid extra to book a double room but in fact it was 2 single […] beds pushed together so a big divide down the middle which meant you couldn't sleep comfotably also the shower was broken when we arrived but this was fixed the next day. Overall I will not be staying here again and I would not recommend it to anyone. Read more

had to move room three times due to problems with the water because of a flooded water pump but was given a free meal in the restaraunt with drinks which was a good gesture

This hotel is very central and convenient within Dublin, the room was clean and reasonably modern. The restaurant is excellent and the adjoining bar is pleasant. The room however was completely uninsulated, the windows were paper thin and all external noise was clearly audible. After two nights of interrupted sleep i slept like a log, but only because […] i was exhausted. In the hotel's defense we were very English about it and never complained, so we didn't allow them the chance to relocate us. However a relacation probably wouldn't have meant a warmer room. Sadly the paper thin windows also mean that the blanket that usually stays in the wardrobe was required for warmth. Good Luck! Read more

Excellent place if you plan to stay in Dublin for a few days - very good location (walking distance from all the interesting sights, very close to the bus and train stations, the airport bus is right across the hotel), great service. All in all, excellent value for money!

10 Minute walk from main bar and restarant area. Our room was fantastic. we we're in the Georgian quarter's of the hotel which was quite grand! lovely big bed, large room with 3 piece suite and tv. Very clean.

I had a nice time at this hotel, and the staff were mostly nice. There was however one man in the reception that seemed a bit stuck up.. The cleanliness was great, but the breakfast was awful (only had the continental). There is a bit of noise at night, but the hotel is in the middle of the Temble Bar area so I didn't expect anything else.. All in […] all a good stay! Read more
