Great location but disappointing restaurant
Pros:

Central location and lovely building

Cons:

Interior design a bit tired and felt like a conference hotel. Dining at the restaurant very underwhelming. The menu for a Saturday night was very limited and unimaginative.

Best place to stay in Dublin
Pros:

Excellent hotel in a fantastic location. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped — it was refreshing to find proper hairdryers (Dyson!) and even ironing boards provided.

The buffet breakfast was outstanding, with a great selection and exceptional service from the staff. A special mention to Eugenia, who went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and made each morning feel welcoming.

What really stood out, however, was the staff throughout the hotel. They were genuinely warm, friendly, and professional, and it was clear they enjoy what they do. From Neville at check-in to Eugenia at breakfast, everyone helped create a welcoming atmosphere that made the stay even more enjoyable.

Would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

10/10 Experience!
Pros:

Our family had the most amazing experience at the Davenport Hotel in Ireland. The hotel is beautiful and the service spectacular. A special shout out to Kerry who went above and beyond to assist with recommendations, reservations, and all around helpfulness. Also to Eugenia and Evelyn and the entire breakfast team who provided a lovely buffet experience to start our days (including our favorite oat lattes!). Absolutely a 10/10 experience!

Exceptional Hospitality from Start to Finish
Pros:

Caner made our stay exceptional right from the moment we arrived at The Davenport. We were initially assigned a room that felt dark and enclosed with very little natural light. We went back downstairs and explained how we felt, and Caner immediately understood and took care of everything without hesitation. He quickly reassigned us to another room, personally brought us upstairs to view it, and made the entire experience seamless and welcoming. We absolutely loved the new room. He also kindly offered us complimentary drinks and arranged for our luggage to be brought up. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for customer satisfaction truly stood out. Excellent customer service.

The Davenport is where I would stay in Dublin
Pros:

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice our room was at the Davenport. Spacious, quiet and clean and a great base for our Dublin experience. It was close to our hop-on, hop-off bus stop and other places we walked to explore.
I highly recommend the Davenport in Dublin!

Exceptional Stay and Outstanding Staff at The Davenport
Pros:

I stayed at the Davenport for 2 weeks, and it was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. The hotel’s location is perfect — centrally situated in the heart of Dublin and within easy walking distance of all the city’s major attractions, restaurants, and cultural sites.

What made the stay especially memorable was the exceptional level of service provided by the staff. Every member of the team was warm, professional, and genuinely committed to making guests feel welcome and comfortable. I would especially like to recognize the manager Belen, whose attentiveness, kindness, and care went above and beyond throughout our stay. She made us feel completely at home and ensured every detail was handled seamlessly. Alvaro was also especially helpful in providing recommendations and assistance.

The dining experience was equally impressive. The breakfast team managed a busy dining room each morning with efficiency, friendliness, and attention to guests (such as remembering my coffee and breakfast order each day). The food was consistently excellent (especially the traditional Irish delicacies), with a wonderful selection and outstanding quality.

The Davenport far exceeded my expectations in every way — beautiful accommodations, exceptional hospitality, and wonderful food in an ideal location. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and am already looking forward to returning on my next visit to Dublin.
