While an older hotel it remains an inviting, peaceful, and comfortable place to stay due to the excellent location and a well-trained/conscientious hotel staff. The hotel staff is extremely engaging and an integral part of the Trinity Hotel experience. The Front Desk under the watchful eye of Brendan who is a remarkable host and very knowledgeable making him a stellar ambassador for the Trinity Hotel. Both Brendan and Delva go out of their way to make one feel welcome and are there to answer any question or solve any challenge one may have during their stay. Delva is a true professional who loves assisting guests. The Doorman, Kenneth, is always there to help with luggage, open doors, and arrange transport plus answer any inquiries about the local area. The breakfast is first-class and never disappoints. Linda always greets you with a smile and a cup of coffee at breakfast. Make certain you do the breakfast. Finally, Alberto in the dining area/bar is exceptional and introduced us to the evening dining. Plus, Alberto is an exceptional member of the wait staff who highlighted the new items on the menu. One great and pleasant surprise was the butternut squash soup that Alberto recommended. It was delightful.

The location was within walking distance of Trinity College, The Temple Bar area, and access to public transportation anywhere else in Dublin was literally just across the street. There was even a "Hop On - Hop Off" bus stop there! Two wonderful local pubs were within a block walk as well! Couldn't have been better for us! Our room was more than comfortable. The beds and bedding were wonderful, and the cleanliness of the room and the entire hotel was superior to many others we have used. The bartenders, every one we met, were top-notch - friendly, very knowledgeable, and very professional. We only tasted the bar food, and it was well prepared and tasty. It was a 5oth Anniversary trip for my husband and I. When we first entered our room, our incredible housekeeper Marina had decorated it with a balloons, rose pedals, and two "towel" doves! What a thoughtful and appreciated gift! The concierges went out of their way to meet our needs as well - to the point where one crossed the street when our bus did not appear, called the company, and found a solution - far beyond the expected!

Don't let the outside facade fool you - it is a modern, extremely well-run hotel that is also quaint, charming and welcoming. the neighborhood, though busy, never felt unsafe. There is an active first responder facility within it's walls - with emergency vehicles and all - but it was never an issue.

It was easy to walk to the shopping areas and to the bars going toward Trinity College. The breakfast was delicious.

Going the other direction down Pearse Street was not so pleasant witnessing a man defecating on the steps of an establishment. But Bread 41 and our favorite tavern was in that direction. I didn't like how at the bar there was three different people waiting on you - one took the order, one brought the food, one brought the check. They weren't always in sync. Questions about our charge couldn't be answered until he found the person who took our order.

Room excellent - Location close to centre - Breakfast - A really good selection of food to suit all tastes.

Just one surprise, There is no sugar in the breakfast room to put on your cereal. There are sugar lumps for your coffee but the only other option was Candrel . I don't like sweetener being forced on me, (apart from thinking it tastes awful.) The rest of the hotel has real sugar so why not the breakfast room. . Even so, I will stay there again, even if I have to bring my own sugar The evening menu did not suit me, but then you can't please everyone and there are lots of places to eat in Dublin.

Great location, beautiful rooms, fabulous breakfast, hospitable bar with good cocktails, solid tap list, good wine selection. Place managed to feel upscale but welcoming. Perfect location. There isn't a lot of character here, it feels like you've stepped into a period drama, but it was comfortable, the staff were extremely kind and helpful. I wanted to have a drink in the public areas and read after a day of sightseeing and before dinner. Excellent place.

They should have had more bar staff? that is the only conceivable complaint I might be able to make up, since you're asking.

Really good location next to Trinity College, it was just a few minutes walk from the Dublin Express stop Very nice personnel Cannot comment about other rooms but suite was really spacious and well equipped Good breakfast (except coffee) We had a concern about fire station located in the same building but surprisingly we were not disturbed in the night

Location is not that convenient if you plan to travel further with a train and want to use public transportation to get to the station Room had a cumbersome AC control system with unclear symbols on the display so it took us couple of hours to understand how to enable heating

Room very clean and bed comfortable. Excellent choice available for breakfast. Excellent location, a short walk to Pearce train station and across the road from the bus stop for the Dublin Express from the Airport, a short walk to Trinity College and Temple Bar.

No real negatives, think a few more staff needed as found at times difficult to get someone's attention in between courses when we ate in bar/reception area, it was also a bit cold when eating there as the doors were open all the time, but we just wore jumpers. The staff work extremely hard.

Beautiful hotel. We were lucky to be there for New Year so got to see the amazing Xmas decorations. The bar staff were very friendly and attentive,as were the staff in reception.

Breakfast was the most disappointing aspect of our stay. Although we were there shortly after 9, there was no tea left, no meats and hardly any cheese. The juices were finished so we had water. The staff started to clean-up before we were finished, and made us feel quite uncomfortable. The room door closers need adjusting as they slammed every time someone tried to close them. We were woken up every evening/morning by doors slamming in the corridor. Soft-closing toilet seat is a must today. Especially in an exceptional hotel like this one.

The hotel is located in the city center. You can reach all the important points and tourist streets within a few minutes on foot. We stayed for 7 days. Towels were changed every day, our coffee was constantly renewed. The decoration of the room was also nice. We liked the breakfast. It was simple and sufficient. The sweet buns were great. I would like to thank the breakfast staff. They are very kind and helpful people.

The carpets in the rooms and corridors need to be renewed urgently. The stuffiness and bad smell while walking in the corridor are very disturbing. Fortunately, the window of our room was opened and we did not have to live with the smell of the carpet in the room.

Fantastic location, so close to the centre but not too loud. Absolutely beautiful hotel, the room was very nice (lovely toiletries!) And the lobby, lounge and bar were stunning. Really great staff, treated us so well. I'd definitely recommend this place and would happily stay again.

Slightly disappointing bath and shower, functional and very clean, but dated. Out of sync with the rest of the bathroom. A bit dark in the room, not great for doing make up! Excessive heat in the room when we arrived, had to put the air con on in January. But these were very small niggles that didn't spoil a fantastic stay.
