The Hotel was very clean and c
The Hotel was very clean and comfortble. The staff were very pleasant and obliging and I would most certainly stay there again. Didn't eat there as I had other arrangements. I received a discounted rate and might not be able to afford the full rate but really enjoyed my stay. Thankyou

Dublin trip
Hotel was a fabulous location, very posh, very safe. Bus directly from airport let me out at the hotel, local city buses was right in front of Hotel. Local pubs and resturants a 5 minute walk from Hotel. Was safe to walk home at night by myself. Locals were very friendly and helpful. Bank was a 5 minute walk from hotel to change my money. Will stay at Bewley's Hotel every time I go to Dublin.

Good, quiet hotel in Dublin, Ireland
The Bewleys hotel has an excellent location, unless you want to be in the middle of the Temple Bar district. The bus from the airport stops directly in front of it. It is a 5 minute walk to the DART train station which goes into the city center of Dublin. The train ride is about a 10 minutes. From the Tara Street station we walked all around the city center. From the Connolly station we caught the light rail to the Guinness storehouse. The hotel is next to the British embassy and a block away from the US embassy, so it is in a very good neighborhood. My daughter and I ran two different routes- one to the Dublin Bay and the other around the Herbert Park. You can walk to St Stevens Park, but that will take at least 30 minutes. The hotel staff was very helpful with providing directions and other information about getting around.

Better than basic: quiet neighbourhood
Beautiful surroundings in an old but renovated building with great style. Rooms are basic, but comfortable. There was a reasonable (comparatively) breakfast (full English) for E9.98 when we were there, but we picnicked in the room for less. There's no local pub or other restaurant. There's an classy Tesco up the street with all you could want for any picnic. It's a 15 min. bus ride to the center, but the bus comes frequently and is a quick ride in. Avoid buses once in the centre on Thursday and Saturday, including the hop-on/off (which is also a good deal). There's a free Internet access computer in the lobby, but wifi is free throughout if you bring your laptop. Dirty linens were changed when needed without request: great! We were glad we chose the quiet and calm of the inner suburbs. If your needs are simple, this is for you: clean, modern bathroom to top it all off. Yay.

When in the city center, take a quick side-step to Trinity College and eat for cheap in the Buttery. Not open weekends, but great food for the best price in town. We had sweet and sour pork for E5.00: a piled high plate with rice. It's cafeteria style and a bit noisy, but you can't beat it anywhere in town.
