Travelodge Dublin City Rathmines

The staff were friendly. Able to help with my queries. I managed to check in early for a charge of 10 Euros. Also the hotels allows you to store your luggage if you arrive early. The bus stand is right in front of the hotel so it was super convenient. A lot of restaurants nearby with good choices for breakfast. Aldi was next door. Excellent location

It was central and near an Aldi to buy bottled water, but also take away spots including one that would deliver to the hotel. Close to stops for various bus routes and a Dunne’s (which was good because I forgot to pack socks). Good water pressure. Nice Indian take away and Japanese restaurants close by. Ideal spot between the suburbs and city centre to be central but not in a touristy area devoid of resources (like markets, shops, groceries).

The room we stayed in was in relatively good condition and clean. We were impressed with the how quiet room 319 is. The hotel is in a very good location and would be worth the investment to upgrade the standard of finishes, not the prices. The parking arrangement is good considering how limited parking in the area is.

The room was clean, comfortable and well provided as you would expect. Wifi was free and reliable. Hotel access is reassuringly secure. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful with booking taxis etc. Although next to the main road there was no significant noise. It is the location that is the real winner. Rathmines is a vibrant and lively area but without the crowds and prices of central Dublin, but with many buses and the tram line not far away still easy access.

We had 2 rooms for 3 people + dog. Pet friendly room was extra spacious. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable. The hotel was quiet despite the hotel being on a fairly busy road. We didn't mind that there was no on-site restaurant, since there were plenty of options nearby. Reception staff were friendly, welcoming and professional. Parking arrangements were nearby and secure, which is a bonus for Dublin.
