A well located and good choice in Dublin
Pros:

Good hotel, well located. The Room needs a few improvements, specially in the bathroom utensils/dispensaries that are not on line with the overall quality of the Room which was very good.
The service crew is very helpful and always ready to assist you on any way.
Cauan on the breakfast service really excelled and went above and beyond, always kind and attentive. Good service must be recognized and rewarded: if you come to the Davenport, I am sure you Will be well treated (especially by Cauan).

Great location near Trinity College
Pros:

If you want to stay near Trinity College in a really nice hotel, you can’t beat the Davenport. It is in a relatively quiet neighborhood that is convenient for walking around Dublin with none of the Temple Bar shenanigans nearby. Our only complaint is that when we checked in the hot water had been out for at least two days (according to other guests, we met in the elevator) and no one advised us. We discovered it the next morning when we were ready to take showers. It was repaired by the time we came back around lunchtime. A word from the front desk upon check-in would have been appreciated so we could manage our expectations.

Our room was very well designed. We liked the Foxford throw that was on our bed so much that we bought one before we left Dublin. I honestly considered looking for the manufacturer of the chairs in the room because they were super comfortable. Overall, I would stay here again.

Luxurious Hotel in a Perfect Location
Pros:

Luxurious hotel in a perfect location. It’s beautifully decorated. Our triple room was a really good size, loved the comfy chairs to sit to watch TV, the king size bed with comfy bedding and the pull out sofa was also really comfy. The bathroom was again a nice size and liked that there was this ledge to place all our toiletries The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. We loved the breakfast buffet especially the cappuccino. And they gave you as much water as you needed. The location was perfect. It was walking distance to most tourist experiences. Trinity college was a 5 minute walk.

Luxurious Hotel with Great Staff
Pros:

Wow! This is the only hotel to stay in Dublin. It’s a pretty hotel. The location is perfect. It’s 5 to 20 minute walk to all the sights. And it’s in a quiet area but walking distance to all the excitement. We arrived early and it was pouring rain so we decided to eat lunch at the hotel restaurant which was good. Then we were told our room was ready early which made my day. I’m traveling with my senior parents so I booked a triple suite. Most hotel rooms in Europe are quite small but this room was quite a good big size. The king bed was awesome, and there was a pullout couch, which was comfortable. And the breakfast was so good with tons of options. And I love the little touches like the to-go pastries and fruit cups and yogurt. They also had coffee to go. And I love that they a bowl of jellies as a little treat for guests in the lobby. Lastly, the staff were all so nice and helpful.

A 5-Star hotel that treats you like a 5-Star guest!
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Ireland. Our stay at The Davenport Hotel, located in the heart of downtown Dublin, was truly memorable. Our room was clean, spacious and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. Everyone we interacted with, from the front desk staff to the staff working in the restaurant were warm, courteous and accommodating. If you are planning a trip to Dublin and are looking for a hotel that is conveniently located, with warm and welcoming staff, and quiet and comfortable rooms, I highly recommend The Davenport Hotel!

A Must Stay in the Heart of Dublin
Pros:

This is a marvelous property! The location is great, convenient to all areas of Dublin; short walks to shopping, dinning, Trinity College and interesting locations. The rooms are spacious and lovely. I recommend getting a room away from the front of the hotel as the street noise can be a bit loud at times. We did and it was blissfully quiet. If ambient noise is not an issue for you then go for it - the views are gorgeous. The staff are warm and welcoming and always ready assist you with whatever you need.

Davenport Hotel Review
Pros:

Excellent location, beautiful historical hotel. Service was great—the restaurant staff is friendly and efficient. The front desk check-in process also easy. Justine, the desk clerk is knowledgeable about Dublin and made us feel welcome to the Davenport.

Overpriced & overrated.
Pros:

Location and the bed

Cons:

More 3 star - had to have shower fixed so cold water on morning 1, no face cloths, mediocre soap/shampoo/condition from a large dispensers (more premier Inn than Premier Quality).
On booking we were told that Bask Thermal Spa would be open, it wasn’t and it wasn’t communicated ahead of our stay. Our room wasn’t made up when we were out Saturday afternoon and ai had to request fresh towels/ water for morning 2. Shower was fixed.

Pros:

The staff was very helpful. They made our trip comfortable.

Cons:

Only one elevator. The other was out of service. The food in the lounge was marginal at best. For a hotel that was described as an elegant hotel it was missing that extra touch.

Height of Dublin Luxury!
Pros:

Our stay at the Davenport has been nothing short of exceptional! The room itself was clean and well equipped. Every staff member was extremely welcoming and helpful to us, especially Caique at the front desk. The breakfast buffet was spectacular with a great variety and even more wonderful service. Special kudos to Evelyn and Eugenio for their fantastic service!
The hotel was also surrounded by great restaurants and was within walking distance of a few tourist attractions. All in all, it was a great value and provided us with a wonderful stay!
