Brooks Hotel

Not bad, but expected better

On the plus side: All the staff were courteous and helpful. The hotel was clean, and my room was well-tended by housekeeping. The water pressure was good and there was plenty of hot water. The atmosphere in their library/study room was good for winding down or doing some work on the laptop. There's a parking garage just across the street. The location is fantastic and right next to the shopping center and tons of pubs & restaurants. On the non-plus side: My mattress was hard as a rock. The room was much smaller than I expected. I barely had enough room to move around the bed. I ended up tying the bathroom door handle to the towel rack to keep it open because it would automatically spring shut and hit me while I was standing in front of the sink. The tiny television (no cable channels) sat on top of the desk, where there was also a lamp and a coffee maker. This left no usable space on it for a laptop, which didn't really matter because the wireless signal did not reach my room anyway, and I had to go down to the lounge to get a signal because there was no hard-wired connection available in the room. I made the mistake of ordering the "American Pancakes" from room service on my first day. It was one pancake that was about as thick and firm as my mattress and was inedible. I didn't eat anything else from the hotel after that experience. All-in-all, I felt like I overpaid for the room. There are much less expensive hotels literally around the corner that I could have stayed in for roughly the same experience.

Great Location

The location of this hotel is the biggest plus. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again when in Dublin.

Great Service and Location

The staff at this hotel is wonderful. They are very helpful and friendly. You can't beat the location. It is close to everything on the south side of Dublin (and the north side isn't all that far either). The best thing is that it is just a few blocks from the Tourism Center, so information is close by.

First class!

We were extremely pleased with our hotel! The staff was wonderful, especially the concierge "Conor". The location is excellent and in walking distance to everything. Any request we made was granted immediately. The room was somewhat small but we are accustomed to this in Europe. It was very elegant. The shower was great with a nice deep tub. We will definitely go back if we return to Dublin and we will recommend to our friends and family.

Outstanding Hotel

The hotel was very nice. Great room, nice sitting room and small gym. Best of all was the location. You could walk to anywhere in Dublin. The only drawback was the street noise on a Saturday night in Dublin. Maybe the rooms in back were quieter.

Great location

Without the stellar deal through hotels.com, we never would have been able to afford to stay here, but we're glad we did. It was central to everything, yet off the beaten path enough to leave the window open at night. It's a stuffy business hotel, but comfortable and has free internet usage in the basement in the residents' lounge.

Great location, excellent value

The rooms, although a bit small, are very comfortable and clean. The maid service was excellent, and the hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. This hotel is located in an ideal location to see all that the Dublin City Centre offers - Grafton Street, Trinity College, Dublin Castle, famous pubs, etc. I will definitely stay at the Brooks Hotel again when next I'm in Dublin.

Excellent hotel

Great service and location.

Nice stay in the heart of Dublin

Friendly helpful staff, great location, nice room. Could imporve comfort with nicer pillows, linens, and softer beds. Everything else was excellent.

Honeymooners say, "Yay!"

We spent a lovely honeymoon here with fantastic service, great surrounding neighborhood, and elegant furnishings!

WE WILL BE BACK

THEIR LIBRARY AND INTERNET ROOM LOCATED ON THE LOWER LEVEL IS WONDERFULLY QUIET, HOMEY, AND MOST OF ALL, THE INTERNET IS FREE. CENTRALLY LOCATED AND NEAR SHOPPING MAKES THIS A SPECIAL PLACE. WE WILL BE BACK
