Top hotels in Portobello
Maldron Hotel Kevin Street, Dublin City
Nice sized room; excellent service from front desk staff; very good breakfast; not the most comfortable beds; pretty convenient location. Needed to request fresh towels every day because there was only one hook to hang and dry the four bathroom towels on. Would consider staying there again.

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
My check in was really nice. The front desk person was very friendly. The room was spotless. I had dinner at the hotel, a thing I normally don’t do. It was delish. The server, sorry can’t remember her name (Spanish) was just a delight. I’ll be back.
