Dublin Hotels in Ballsbridge

Pros: The staff—Ceclia, Owen, Tracy, Luisz and others—were friendly and always helpful. The breakfast offerings were wonderful, served with friendly grace and style by Dalva, Lidija, and Allesandra. I’ll be honest: we attended a wedding at the Mount Juliet near Thomastown, and the food was better at Ariel House. Our room was comfortable and quiet. Located in the quiet suburb of Ballsbridge, Ariel House is convenient to the DART and the Aviva Stadium, and there are some nice restaurants nearby, notably the Old Spot and the Lobster Pot. (At the latter, Michael Garlant will serve you with old-world elegance and 21st Century friendliness and wit.) Wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll be back.

Pros: Room very big, clean, quiet. Nice location

Cons: Staff were all very nice, but seemed like they needed training, particularly in the restaurant. Often no one attending the lobby, at check in, or concierge. On check out, no-one asked how was the stay, and not even to-go coffee available (which is almost standard expectation these days, even in lower quality hotels). Tried calling room service & was told they would call me back, after 10 mins I called them back to say don't bother. Breakfast is really expensive, supposed to start at 7am .. I wanted an omlette ... Was told by waitress that I needed "to ask the omlette guy" at the buffet , he didn't show up til 720am. I asked him if I could have toast with the omlette, he said "you need to ask the waitress" ... It was more Fawlty Towers than Four Seasons

Pros: Rooms were huge, staff was totally on point, the indoor pool was an unexpected benefit. Bar is busy most times, it's fun to hang out at the hotel.

Cons: Location isn't ideal for tourists. It's a 30-45 walk from most major destinations, and cabs are pricey. Otherwise, stay was perfect.

Pros: Staff was great, food was outstanding and the premises just right

Cons: I liked everything

Pros: The room was very nice.

Cons: It was a bit out of the central area.

Pros: Excellent staff response to problems on the first day.

Cons: Lighting in bathroom and by the bed in some rooms was completely inadequate. Also : Windows on the street on the lower floors need privacy curtains that will allow light to get through.

Pros: Comfortable beds. Nice location

Cons: Front desk staff was incredibly rude!!! Had to pay for parking even though we paid '--- Euro plus for the room......Will not stay again.

Pros: The setting and the cleanliness of the room.

Cons: No

Pros: Comfort. Location.

Cons: Internet did not work for about 2 hours on Tuesday afternoon, when I was working to a deadline. Frustrating.

Pros: Great, boutique hotel with contemporary decor and excellent staff! Short walk from many shops, yet in a quiet residential neighborhood. LOVED it!

Cons: None

Pros: Everything about the hotel was wonderful!

Cons: Make sure to let the bar tenders know you're a guest at the hotel otherwise they will tell you the bar is closed at an early hour.

Pros: Great recommendations for dinner. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: In one word: impeccable. The hotel was a beautiful as described, the staff was 10 our of 10. If I ever go back, I will definitely stay there again.

Cons: the roll away beds were lacking in much needed comfort. and the menu was a bit short so we didn't eat there but once.

Pros: Quiet neighborhood with easy access to downtown and all the tourist destinations. Big bathroom, updated room

Cons: Bed was very uncomfortable

Pros: Spent just a night here, traveling onward. We had dinner in the hotel, as we were tired out. We were surprised to find that the food was good, the service warm and efficient, and the setting congenial. Our room was large, and the bathroom w great.

Cons: The bed was not particularly comfortable.

Pros: Cookie upon arrival. Staff tried to be helpful when we had to move rooms due to building noise from the fire escape which was next to our room. The gym was clean and well equipped.

Cons: The hotel is in a process of refurbishment so only the 4th floor was in use during our stay. The hammering and drilling started at 8am on both days we stayed and despite moving rooms it was like being on a building site. The beds at the hotel were the hardest I have ever slept on, I have been very fortunate to have travelled all over the world with my job so have slept in many hotels but this bed ranked as one of the worst! We were in room 400 (on the 4th floor) which was the furthest room from the elevator. Annoyingly it was too far for the wifi to stretch so we were forced to sit in the lobby to get online. Overall our stay was very disappointing and we won't return to this hotel in future.
