RiverHouse Hotel

Hotel needs total overall to bring up to required modern standards - floors squeak when walked on, sink had no plug, flooring in bathroom coming up, TV was ancient and did not work anyway.
First room given - the radiator did not work so room was like an ice box so has to be asked to move which the hotel did to a room where the radiator worked.
Everything needs ripping out and new modern furniture put in plus re decorated all over.

The only positive is its closeness to lots of bars in the Temple Bar area. Our room was very very old, warn out a falling apart. The bed had more lumps and bumps than the grand canyon although the bedding was clean. It absolutely stank of smoke which got into all our clothes & into our skin and hair. The paint was chipping off the walls and was chipped off all the MDF units.The floor in the bathroom was so worn the only pattern left was a grey mouldy mottled looking patch. Don't waste your money staying here. Spend £20 more for a better hotel. Youth hostel would have had a more comfier bed and usable bathroom. Nothing like the picture. The floor, bedding, sink and toilet were clean. Imagine the TV series Rising Damp and you'll be spot on! Horrid! Oh yes and the disco goes on until 2.30 a.m. Walls are thinner than tracing paper and the floor boards....well I'll leave that to your imagination. Never again - ever!

Amazing little space, looks to be in perpetual redecoration, but for where it is and what you get, its stinning!

The first room I got in the 3rd floor was smelling to cigarette badly, so then I got one in the 2nd floor looking better but with an old TV and at night time is impossible to sleep because there is a pub downstairs with live music. I should have stayed in the 3rd floor.

Fine, if you want a bed in the city. Good bar ,no problem.

Staff is friendly. But the rooms above the bar doesn’t has wifi. That’s very tough for traveler. There’s bar downstairs but actually it’s much quiet than I expected. Overall based on the price the location is good and room is cozy, quiet, clean, just the internet will be huge issue for travelers.

The noise was pretty loud. Staff were lovely and place was clean and comfortable.

This hotel was absolutely perfect for location. Everything is so close. The mezz was fun underneath too! Would come back :)

Booked a double room but had twin beds with were completely different. Room smelled of stale drink and smoke. The whole building looked uncared for. This was well below basic. Photos were probably taken 10 years ago. Certainly didn’t look like anything which I thought I’d booked.

Staff were lovely and helpful. But hotel was very poor in apprearance and facilities. Bed was very old and mattress springs could be seen and felt. Yawning moved the whole actual bed! Room was clean but didnt look it sue to very poor repair and state. TV didnt work and no wifi connection on top floor.
Disappointing as staff were all.lovely. Hotel was full so jo point it asking to be moved. Only there for 2 nights.

This was a very disappointing property. The lift doesn’t walk so it was up some 39 steps to the horrid room. 39 steps doesn’t sound much unless like me you have a mobility problem and it was gruelling. The room was disgusting, beds with springs poking up, an advertised breakfast that doesn’t exist, ear plugs provided as the windows are to remain up and it’s next door to a night club. The clincher for me was my 10 year old grandson looking out the window to the street below and saying ‘Gran, what does fetish mean? Because the shop opposite sells masks and fetish.’

This was a horrific hotel. The staff was very nice but the rooms and conditions leave so much to be desired. They shoebox I stayed in was on the fourth floor, and although they advertise as having an elevator it has been broken for 3 years. The beds have probably been there since the 70's and the bathrooms have black mold in the shower which is the size of a phone booth.

I do understand that they have new management taking over so maybe things will be upgraded in the future.

This "hotel" is located next to a nightclub that booms until 2 am - we could actually hear the song verses. Hotel staff was no help in moving our room or helping with room heat (none). Very dirty rooms, warped flooring in bathroom, dirt carpet, no security on room door. Room in photo is nothing like the room we had (room 105). TV was a 13" portable tube model at least 40 years old with two channels that did not tune in regularly, no remote. Would have been funny except for the amount of money we paid for this rathole.

Excellent staff super helpful nothing was to much trouble our room was cleaned and had fresh towels every day 21/09/2019 till 23/09/2019 .. would stay here again next year if its available? (Greyhound derby)

Building needs a little TLC imo ... cheers Paul

Not a good experience! Elevator was out of order, and looked like had been for some time. No air conditioning, typical for Europe, but no fans offered. WiFi was not working in rooms, just lobby. Rooms were out dated and old smelly carpets throughout. Only thing that was nice, was the staff!

Was not clean al of the bathroom was old falling apart. Room was not clean the following day after reminding the clerk. The lift was out of order

Didn't like anything about the property
Windows cracked and filthy - couldn't open or close them
Lamps mismatched - broken fire alarm - tv wires hanging down - chipped dressing table - awful

Good location and pleasant staff but the room was in desperate need of total renovation and not very clean. Towels and bedding were clean and in good condition.

Me and my friend stayed in Dublin for a city break weekend. The hotel is in an amazing location and very close to temple bar. The staff at the hotel made the holiday they were so helpful and so welcoming, helped us around and told us some great places to see in Dublin. There is a bar/pub right next door with live music which is so handy, and you couldn't hear any music in our room (3rd floor). However, the lift wasn't working when we stayed and it was hard work with the cases. The rooms themselves had everything we needed and was clean. The room themselves could do with redecoration and is a little small. However, this didn't impact our stay and my friend and I was perfectly happy and really enjoyed our stay.

The room was hot and no fan could be provided. The hot water didn’t work for an entire day. No, hair dryer in the room and one couldn’t be provided. The staff was friendly.
