Pros:

We stayed for 3 nights surrounding the Steelers game at Croke Park. It was perfect. Classy, clean, comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Location was great. Not in the middle of all the craziness and hoopla but close enough to walk to it when we wanted to. Hope to be back again for the next Steelers game in Dublin!

Pros:

It would have been nice if there were space large enough for a suitcase to lie flat and be opened as well as have such space for a second suitcase.

Pros:

We’ve been to Dublin before and stayed at other hotels, but the Davenport was excellent. It’s where we will stay going forward.

Initially, there was a problem with our booking, but Abner came to the rescue.

Kerry with the breakfast service was fantastic. We were traveling with our youngest daughter and she did everything she could to make it a special trip for her. Just a wonderful person.

I never write these things, but our experience couldn’t go without the acknowledgment.

I hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did. Slainte!

Average. Not worth the price.
Pros:

Not worth price. It doesnt have a gym in the building. You need to go across the road to use gym which isnt the most covenient. Also the breakfast buffet isnt appropriate for vegetarians.

Lovely and convenient hotel
Pros:

Beautiful hotel and great location. Much quieter than the tourist areas but still within walking distance of whatever you want to see. Lovely rooms, very comfy bed, friendly and helpful staff, and the breakfast is worth the price. Only down side is parking - it’s down the street and $18 euros per day. However, we made it work.
