“Won't go back”

Very loud disco until 2:30 AM. Slamming doors, loud noise in hallways most of the night. Would never return or recommend.

“Good Value for the Price”

We stayed at Harcourt for one night in September at the beginning of our trip. The staff were friendly and welcoming - they were able to get a room ready for us upon our early arrival around 11AM, which was nice after an overnight flight! It's conveniently located and in walking distance of many attractions - we walked to St. Stephens Green, Temple Bar area, Grafton Street and Guinness Factory (we took the 123 bus to the factory, but walked back). We took the Aircoach bus from the airport to get here (8 Euro p/p), and it was only about a 5 minute walk from the Lower Leeson St. bus stop. A cab ride to the Heuston train station the next morning from Harcourt was only about 12 Euro (and the front desk arranged the pick up in advance to keep us on schedule). Breakfast is offered in the attached restaurant and is okay for a quick bite on the way out. The rooms were standard, we had enough room to move around. We were on the ground floor of the attached building next door and we did hear what sounded like a big party going on outside our window (on a Tuesday night!), but it wasn't so loud that it kept us awake. Overall, I thought it was a good value for the price we paid for a quick night in Dublin.

“OK Hotel”

The price was good and was convenient to get to from the Dublin Airport by bus. There was much noise from band music and outside noise from people in the streets. The tram also runs right in front of the hotel and that adds to the noise. The hotel is close to many areas and restaurants in the area are plentiful. Hotel people were very friendly.

“Loud at night”

We asked for a quiet room having read the reviews, but believe me, it was not quiet. Two of the three nights we stayed there I did not get much sleep. The third night sleep occured from sheer exhaustion. The housekeeping staff seemed to have trouble all three days remembering to leave towels, tea, coffee, and cups for the three of us that stayed in the room. The beds were ok, and the shower was good. We had a wierd maze to get to our room including an elevator ride up 2 floors, a few minutes of walking, and a flight of stairs down too with no additional elevator. Made luggage transport very difficult.

“Can't get there from here.”

Difficult to get to if unfamiliar with Dublin. Parking was a challenge for our ford transit van as it would not fit into the garage they assinged us. The location is good and in walking distance of "Major Shopping and site seeing spots around St. Stephen's Green. Get bus tour tickets which will save you a lot of walking. Hop on Hop off is worth it.

“nightclub noise”

the staff was great and seemed eager to make sure my needs were met. Unfortunately I would not recommend this Hotel to anyone because of the noise from the nightclub just behind the Hotel. It lasted till 3 or 4 a.m. I was moved and slept in three different rooms because my TV was not working and every room had the same problem. So I suppose if this hotel was on a quiet street I would certainly recommend it.

“Great location, Great staff, nicely aged”

Extremely friendly staff- very eager and willing to help with everything. We arrived early, and they even let us check in early-without a fee. They also stored our bags after check-out on the last day so we didn't have to pack it around. Hotel is very clean, does show some signs of wear, but is in completely acceptable conditions, it's very pretty. Big rooms for some we have seen in Europe. The club is a little bit loud, but it did not bother us- you can put in your notes you would like a quiet room away from the noise, and they will accommodate... They made our trip super easy, we could walk everywhere! There is a GREAT bagel shop on the street, and as someone else posted, take the DART to Howth, it's a fabulous little fishing town, you would be disappointed to miss it!

“Don't Believe the Hype, It Has Lost Its Charm.”

If you are American and you are looking for "Irish" hospitality, you will not find it here. I am hard press to say you will find it anywhere in Dublin, as it has changed so much. I think it is important to know that when you travel to Ireland these days, you will be fleeced and treated rudely while in the process. I don't know who does the ratings of hotels in Dublin, Ireland, but let me tell you that this is NO three star hotel. I stayed in this hotel 10 years ago and had a great time, back then it could have been given such a rating, but not now. The room was a shoebox; it had drapes and bedspread that dated back into the 1950's and the beds themselves could have come from that decade as well. I couldn’t sleep the bed was so uncomfortable. One of the bedspread had something sticky on it..gum, your guess is as good as mine. There was a lamp on the desk that never worked. I had to call and ask twice for the heat to be put on, as there was no heat throughout the whole building, and the day was raw and cold. The service was lacking and quite cold. I had relatives call and leave messages that I never got. I mean I could go on and on, but just don’t stay here.

“The Harcourt Hotel - Trip Dub”

The Harcourt Hotel provided quality service during my stay. It is conveniently located within 5 minutes walking distance of Grafton St. - a major shopping area. All staff members were quite friendly and helpful. Thank You, Harcourt Hotel... I will stay there again when on future Dublin Trips.
