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...

Emma

A small, rustic cabin with a stone foundation, large windows, and a porch area.

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...

16. Glebe Farmhouse

Killarney

"This is a true Irish treasure. The Farmhouse was fantastic and we truly enjoyed the character of this Farmhouse. We really enjoyed what the farm had to offer from the Farmhouse to the grounds, the heards of cattle, farm cats and the lush fields which were great for morning strolls or the walk off dinner. We even bonded with the farmer and his brother and enjoyed learning about farming which has been in his family for probably close to 100 years. Diffently a place to go back to in the future. ...

"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

Iveagh Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was immaculately cleaned. Staff were very helpful and friendly when I arrived. The food in the bistro was delicious and the serving staff were friendly and kind."

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 3 nights in mid October, 2026. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was immaculate, comfortable and well appointed. The location is excellent: right in the heart of the city, yet just far enough away where it’s convenient, yet quiet. Next time in Dublin, I know where I’ll be booking!"

The Morgan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the superior queen room which was stunning. Plenty of room for a comfortable weekend stay and good amenities. There was some noise from outside at night but that’s to be expected being in the Temple Bar area. Regardless, we both slept really well. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Only downside would be being unable to cast media to the TV from my iPhone. It looks like this isn’t an issue for Android users."

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in two hotels in this area and this was the best…better by far the Temple Bar Inn across the street. Clean, small but serviceable room. Has A/C, which I used even in the fall. Noise was not an issue and I liked the locations being walkable to so many things. I wouldn’t walk around much alone after very late for the revelers. Only slight negative is very slow check in if you arrive right at check in time."

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"They say “the people make the place”, it’s so true. The Hotel is really well situated for sightseeing and transport ( Aircoach stops right outside) We were welcomed at the door and helped with our cases. The staff on the desk were very efficient and friendly. Our room was lovely and very clean, housekeeping was also very good, we were on the 5th floor and the corridor always smelled fresh. We had breakfast in the hotel, it had a great selection and the buffet was constantly being refreshed. The hotel always had plenty of staff in the Lobby and as we were two females visiting the city, the hotel felt like a very safe. All the staff that we spoke to were exceptional but ,we would like to send extra special thanks to Michael, what an asset he is to the hotel, always happy to help and always smiling and we enjoyed speaking to him each day. We will come back to Dublin next year and we will stay at the Gresham, it’s beautiful."

Ashling Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"We always enjoy coming to the Ashling when in Dublin. The staff was super helpful, especially when this time traveling with an infant. We were able to be checked in early and room was always well taken care of. Close to the Dublin Zoo, Jameson Bow Street, and with easy access to Hueston Station and Luas, puts the Ashling in a great location. And the Iveagh Bar is a nice place to relax with a drink at the end of the day."
