Pros:

This is a great location to visit Dublin. It's a charming old hotel. The area is close to Trinity College, the National Gallery of Ireland, Grafton Street, parks, many restaurants and shops. The hotel has an excellent restaurant and the bar is also very nice. The rooms are small but comfortable.

Cons:

The rooms do not have air conditioning and when there's an unusual heat wave you have to rely on the fans. We used the fans but it wasn't until the last day we realized it wasn't blowing air forward. Very strange. I'm sure if we mentioned it earlier, they would have provided us with different fans but we didn't think it was broken until the last day.

Relaxed, friendly stay, right on the doorstep of Dublin City Centre.
Pros:

Big rooms, very clean and tidy. Food was good and the dining room for buzzy for lunch and dinner. Staff very friendly and the location is excellent - just a couple of minutes walk to Dawson Street, Stephens Green and Grafton Street.

Cons:

Not worth the money
Pros:

Beautiful common areas. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Extremely noisy. I could hear people walking above me all through the night. I’m sure everyone heard me walk as well as all of my floorboards creaked.
There was no temperature control options in the room. It was too hot over night, but the street noise was also very loud- seagulls all night, people having conversations outside, loud cars driving down the street, so I couldn’t open the window to cool the room down as all of these noises which already kept me awake, would be amplified.
The bathroom was very narrow- inclusive of the shower.
There was no fridge. Still water was filled up each day, which I was appreciative of, but not the sparking water for some reason, and this was warm and flat anywhere.
There were no usb or charging points in the room.
The bar was very expensive and not great.

Excelente experiencia en Buswells
Pros:

Lo mejor es la calidad humana del equipo. Tuvimos un problema con mi mujer, quien estaba enferma cuando llegamos, y el personal de gerencia nos ayudó muchísimo a buscar ayuda médica y fueron los únicos que dieron con la solución, así que confirmamos que no solo el hotel cumple con las expectativas en todos los órdenes, sino que el equipo es sobresaliente.
