Great location for a Bord Gais concert, only 10 mins walk up the road. The history was great and the restaurant was very cosy and rustic. Restaurant staff were spot on, easygoing and very accommodating, 5 stars for them!
Loved the chalkboard at the entrance but would have liked to see the schoolhouse theme throughout the rooms and halls, but overall bedroom styling was lovely too.
Only downside to the restaurant was the food options, would have liked to see another steak option like ribeye. I ordered the fish and I thought it was too salty.
The check in receptionist seemed a little off with my husband, he thought she wasn’t as approachable or welcoming as we would have liked. Even checking out, he left earlier than me and he said he looked up to say hello, the 3 staff members just looked at him and didn’t say anything. He was surprised by this.

I have stayed in this wonderful place more than once and will definitely come back again.
It’s amazing that it is within walking distance of a transport hub, yet it is completely quiet.
From the window you can see a cozy courtyard, and instead of traffic noise you hear birds singing.
The cleanliness is always at a very high level.
The staff are very pleasant and attentive.
The café at the hotel has a very cozy atmosphere, and a real fireplace creates a special feeling of comfort. It is also within walking distance of Oscar Wilde Park.
In the morning it’s always a little hard to leave — every time I find myself looking for a reason to stay a bit longer.

Great location for attending an event at Aviva Stadium. Room was spacious and comfortable. Big comfortable bed. Good heating. Good bathroom & towels. Nice walks along the canal. Good vibe with gastro restaurant on ground level. Lovely reception staff. Interesting idea of handing key in when you go out anywhere. Great to have water and little biscuits on arrival and treats as it was my husbands birthday. All much appreciated.
A little annoying having to wait for people checking in (& taking quite a long time to do so for various reasons) to be able to get our key back after going out for a walk.

The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, full control over room temperature, clean facilities, good breakfast.
The location and the building itself are great, and the staff was amazing.
The shower did not drain properly, there was only one set of complimentary toiletries on a stated double occupancy.
The decor is very busy (nicely put together, but I'd not suggest it to someone easily overstimulated by patterns/textures).

I loved the decor of the room and the bed was super comfy. We also didn't hear anything at all from other guests while we were there it was super quiet
It is a twenty/twenty five minute walk from the centre of Dublin which suited us fine as we didn't want to be in the noise of temple bar.
Staff where very friendly
The hairdryer. Why do hotels never have a proper hairdryer that can actually dry hair efficiently.
The toiletries in the bathroom could also be improved
Didn't try the breakfast as at €25 each it seemed very steep, walked into the centre and found a lovely artisan bakery for breakfast and coffee less that €20 for the both of us.

The hotel is charming and in a safe, lovely neighborhood. It is about a 20 minute walk to the city center. Many great places to see along the way. It's quiet, and an excellent pub and dining room at reasonable prices. Room 326 was fabulous!
I wish breakfast would have been included in the rate. Oh well, still wonderful.

Great location, Staff were absolutely fantastic and room was very comfortable. We were really just passing through - visiting friends in Dublin, didn't check in until after 9pm and left the following morning but the hotel was very central and had a great aesthetic which I really loved. Our room was spotless and the bed was perfect. We had asked for a separate bed for our 8 year old which was provided but he ended up in our bed during the night and there was loads of room for all three of us!
The cost of breakfast was just insane for what we got. 25 euro per person for an extremely limited menu and a full irish that was undercooked, served on a cold plate and quite tasteless. The buffet was quite limited. I don't normally eat breakfast in any hotel I stay in and this is why. I'm not blaming the hotel for the price as I find it's pretty standard now but I was very disappointed with what we received. Also, the heat was on full blast in our room when we arrived and it was extremely warm. We found it difficult to cool it down and had a somewhat restless night's sleep with the heat. That is probably on us as we arrived so late.

We had a really lovely stay at The Schoolhouse in Dublin. The room was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and had every amenity you could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the shower was fantastic — genuinely one of the best we’ve had in a hotel.
The only downside was the experience when we returned late one evening. The staff member on duty was a bit abrupt, which took away from the otherwise warm and welcoming feel of the hotel

Very nice decor in a quiet area. Clean bathrooms and bedding was clean and comfortable.
A bit further away from the central area (20-30 mins walk). The room is clean overall but the walls have some minor stains on them (hard to tell because of the pattern but I saw it).
