5. Castle Gardens 3 bed 4018

Bunratty

"Easily the worst overnight stay I have encountered anywhere in my travels. We had no working water heater the first 24 hours so none of us could shower. The floors were sticky. We killed two sizeable spiders in the unit. The whole place smelled like chemicals but I couldn’t quite place what they were. Every shower had mold and mildew (and gross amounts of caulking) and mine included a sliver of dried bar soap complete with black speck inside the soap dish. The pillows were the kind you might...

Julie

A traditional house with a sloped roof, red window frames, and flower boxes.

6. Cookies Cottage

Ballyshannon

"We are a family of six, four children and myself and husband. This Cottage exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely beautiful and I fell in love with how traditional it is. My children had plenty of fun out back in the huge garden. Most evenings we had a fire blazing in the living room. While we played board games and playing cards. This Cottage is close to groceries store and Bundoran is 20 minute drive. Plus there is beautiful beaches to spend a day at. The owners are fantastic and very...

7. Bosca Neadu

Dingle

"Absolutely gorgeous place!! They have stocked the space with everything you could ever need plus luxuries like towel warmers and a really comfortable bed. Can tell a lot of thought has gone into everything. The area is absolutely beautiful, not the main centre but we easily got taxis there and back the entire stay and it feels like a real slice of heaven sat looking out at the beautiful views. We would book here again in a heartbeat!"

10. Sleibhte Sliabh Liag

Meenaneary

"Was not clear in the description that the building is actually divided into 3 units. We booked the 3 bedrooms only to realise it's upstairs. And is a big con for a disabled visitor. The flight up is okay but imagine if you can't climb up the stairs! Each bedroom had their tiny individual shower rooms. No hooks for hanging clothes, very tiny space for putting toiletries, or none at all. Had to put on the floor or on the toilet seat. Bedrooms are spacious and clean. Kitchen is new and clean. We...

"The location is PERFECT!!! The convenient store down the road was awesome and Cromaine Beach is beautiful which is extremely close. Also, not far from Killarney where most of our tours were located. The Host was very responsive and we had great communication with them. He met us at the home to go over everything and gave us clear instructions for our stay and check-out. The only thing I didn’t like was the washer/dryer (didn’t work very well), showers (were small and lose hot water quite a bit),...

Top Ireland Hotel Reviews

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good

"Had another great stay at the hotel. The only real issue I have is that the automated book in system is cumbersome and left me confused about which room I was in. As a result the whole check-in process was a lot lengthier than it should be."

The Dean Dublin Docklands- Formerly The Mayson

8/10 Good

"All good and really enjoy staying here but when putting the extras like food, breakfast or drinks on the room, the bill at the end is always unclear, wrong and confusing. Put that aside and I love staying at this hotel and I would recommend it … breakfast and food is excellent and well located"

Ashling Hotel Dublin

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms and hallway were quiet, which I really appreciated. The bathroom is nice and big. Things that can be improved: There was tons of dust on the shelf above the bed and dust on the main table. There is no fridge or microwave in the room. Breakfast is the same food every day so if you're staying for a week, you'll get bored. There was no variety of meats available. You can eat pork or pork. That's it."

The Morgan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location. Right in the center of town. Walking distance to all the main attractions. Hotel and room was very clean. Front desk and cleaning staff were great. We received a room upgrade at check in without even asking for it as the front desk saw that we were staying for over a week. Highly recommend this hotel! We had no issues."

The Samuel Hotel, Dublin City Centre

8/10 Good

"Room cleanliness ok but not the best, crumbs of food on the chairs for example. Room size good but fan system noisy and an inward facing room meant curtains closed and no natural light. Some noise from other guests returning to rooms late at night but that can't be blamed on the hotel - consider others sleeping please folks. Security seemed very good. Long wait at check-in. Staff ok but not overly friendly. Good location near airport bus stop and easy to access the centre along the river or by tram."

Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend, would definitely stay again, great central location, clean room, quiet, big window, lots of light, great bar, loads of places to lounge in the bar, fantastic breakfast. Wish there was a phone in the room - struggled to turn the lights off and had no way to contact someone to ask. One odd thing in the room - my bed seemed to have 2 half duvets - one along the bottom of the bed covering me up to my knees and one over the top of the bed covering my top half. Never seen that before. Like 2 single duvets across the bed. Good sleep though."
