"One night in Dublin"
Just ok.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pretty Good Hotel"
Friendly, helpful staff. Pillows were super thin. Quieter part of Dublin, about a 30 minute walk to downtown.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location, but badly needs a update."
The people at the check in desk were great, very helpful. The bar tenders were very bad terrible service. The hotel needs to be remodelled badly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Run Down"
Old hotel, run down.Beat up furniture, smallest TV on the planet and lots and lots of stains all over the place.Genuine Expedia guest review
"nice for short stay"
This is a good place for a short stay but a longer stay one might want a place closer to city center. If a fridge or a safe for your valuables are important to you, this is not the place for you. Breakfast buffet is wonderful but if you can wait until you get into the city, a full Irish breakfast is about 5Euro. Everyone was nice and helpful at the […] hotel, room was clean and quiet.

"Poor Management"
This hotel is owned by the Irish government after going into bankruptcy. The entire hotel needs serious updating. The TV is vintage, beds are poor, Magic marker writing on the carpet in the room. Even the bar as nice as it could be was out of most beer , amazing for Ireland.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel"
Had a wonderful stay. Great location with blue bus direct to and from the airport. Staff was friendly and very friendly.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Fits the bill"
A good hotel if using it as a base of operation for sightseeing etc. An easy 25 minute walk from Stephen's Green with plenty of spots in between for eating and/or drinking. Convenient bus stop just outside the door that services the airport as well as local buses to get you to the city center if you choose not to take the pleasant walk. The room was […] clean and quiet. Odd that they don't provide free internet connectivity but you can buy unlimited time for about 5 Euro per day. I'd stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Value"
We had a great time at the Ballsbridge hotel. There aren't necessarily all of the services (we took our own bag to our room), but it is fairly new, clean, and has friendly staff. We walked into town each day, and enjoyed live music in the bar on certain nights. We would definitely stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Meets basic needs - don't expect much"
I'm a pretty no frills traveler - all I require is "safe and clean". The hotel was safe, but cleanliness is an issue. Mold on the bathroom walls, peeling paint from the ceilings, broken telephone, stained blanket, and a mattress that was stained by something that could have been blood or old coffee (I only discovered this as I was checking out!). The […] heater rattled loudly at night, and there is noise from the street. The walls are thin, and I was woken every night by other guests in the hallway or in their rooms. The hairdryer is for some reason attached to the desk in such a way that the only way to use it is if you are kneeling (clearly, a woman did not design this!). The faucet on the bidet was broken. The hotel is quite a walk to city center (about 20-25 minutes), which can be hard if you are the kind of traveler who likes to put your feet up for part of the day. The property is in massive need of refurbishing. You can tell the hotel was once very lovely (perhaps in the early 90s), but has not been cared for much since then. I would not stay here again. I was not sad to leave. On the neutral side, the bed is quite firm. That's great if you like firm beds. It's not great if you prefer soft beds. On the positive side, I will say the staff was very nice and kind. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ballsbridge Hotel (previously D4 Ballsbridge Inn)"
My husband and I stayed at the Ballbridge Hotel (known at the time of our booking as the D4 Ballsbridge Inn) over St. Patrick's weekend with our friends. Our hotel room was spacious, but left something to be desired. The television was tiny compared to the room and was impossible to watch from the bed. Our room was missing a trash can, so our trash […] ended up on the floor next to the tiny bathroom trash can. There is no information book in the room, so we had to guess how to call the front desk and from room to room. Our bed also had a mattress pad instead of a proper mattress. Also, although the staff were not rude, they did seem indifferent about our comfort or happiness. The hotel has apparently been recently purchased by new owners and renamed, so they could not bring us a new information book and refused to bring us an old one. On the positive side, there was a closet with enough room to store both our bags and hang our clothes and the bathroom and bedroom were large and clean. The hotel is very close to the American and Israeli Embassies and an unfortunately long walk to the city center. The bus system in Dublin is fairly expensive, so it was a 40 minute walk to the Grafton Street area each morning. The hotel breakfast was expensive, so we walked into town to eat each day. All in all the Ballsbridge in is not a bad hotel, but it is certainly not great, and could use some improvement. For the location and price I think we could have gotten a better value hotel elsewhere. I would not stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient to bus routes, the city and DunLaoghair"
Lacking the little things, Kleenex. Use of certain credit cards not accepted in different part of hotel. Missed important wake-up calls. Poor response to numerous calls to repair telephone.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not good"
Beds were very uncomfortable and the fact that have to pay $8 a night for Internet is crazy.Genuine Expedia guest review
"D4 Ballsbridge Inn"
This hotel is conveniently located near the U.S. Embassy and an assortment of museums on the southside of the city. An aircoach stop is located at the main entrance of the hotel, and a bus stops catering to several routes going to the city center is located right across the street. The reception staff were extremely helpful and happy to provide local […] information. I needed to meet a friend nearby and one of the receptionists looked up the address and printed the walking route for me. I really appreciated this kindness! My room was quite shabby in comparison to the modern and tasteful lobby. The wallpaper was peeling, there were several stains on the mattress (I always check a mattress for bedbugs...), the furnishings were dusty, and the curtains didn't close all the way. That said, the linens were clean and the bathroom was pleasant and a decent size. One hope that renovations to the rooms are forthcoming at this location. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Fantastic Hotel and Location!"
All the staff was very helpful. The upgrade rates were very cheap and the rooms were very nice. The bus stop to take you to the middle of the city is right outside the hotel and is only about a 10-15 minute bus ride. The only thing that could have been better was fluffier pillows, they were a little flat!Genuine Expedia guest review

"Ballsbridge Inn"
Great location, excellent price. No frills rooms but perfectly adequate. Staff friendly and efficient.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not a nice hotel"
This place is outdated, the service isn't good. The power kept going out on our floor, we were told to get our own ice and glasses from downstairs, the room was filthy, so we paid for the upgrade at the front desk...it wasn't as bad, but wasn't worth the price. I recommend paying more in the beginning and getting a hotel closer to the city center.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice location"
Great value hotel. Located in a pleasant district, some lovely restaurants within walking distance, 15-20 minute walk to the centre of Dublin. Good sized room, very clean. Great varied choice for the buffet breakfast. I have only one complaint and that is you have to pay extra for wi-fi.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Building Site"
My stay in the Ballsbridge Hotel was awful, we were awake from 9am with noise of hammers and workmen. All the rooms on our floor were being re-fit. We were not made aware of this on check in! We rang Reception twice and it got so bad we actually went down to reception to complain! BUT it didn't stop! No compensation or apology was offered! I would have […] got more sleep on a Rollercoaster! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Location good, bed comfort bad"
All was good except for; even with window open very little air comes into the room; bed very uncomfortable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It was very poor, we asked the staff to come to the room 3 times to fix window or move use to another room, but they never came to fix or look at the problem. There was a draft and wind nose coming through the window, so we checked out at 6.30 in the morning as we could not sleep. I had to go to the doctor the next day with pains and flu simtums.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Home from Home"
Room was immaculate, good value for money, staff extremely helpful and location close to city centre. No noise.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Avoid"
Room medium sized. 4 sockets hidden behind bed. Broken socket inside wardrobe. Socket beside desk not working. Stained duvet cover. Bathroom not clean, foreign visitors on floor. Lunch excellent and chef very frendly. Evening meal dreadful. Order incorrect, main meal overcooked and sauces spoiled with extreme use of sugar. Asked if we wished a desert […] while eating our main as chef wished to leave. First time we have experienced this in a hotel. We treat ourselves once a month. This was not a treat.
