“Convenient to airport”

Seems like a grand, older hotel, which is somewhat on the decline. It was clean; staff was courteous, and I would stay there again if I needed one-night lodging near the airport. The price was very reasonable. It is about a 30 minute walk from downtown, but there is bus service available, and several restaurants are within a 10 minute walk.

“Average”

Just an average Hotel in a leafy suburb 3 miles North of Dublin. I found the room clean however it rained that night and woke up to the carpet all wet and leaking. There were water stains from the ceiling so asked for another room and they accommodated me. This hotel is an old hotel lots of doors banging maids cleaning you can hear conversations in the hallways.

Area recommendations
If you stay in Dublin i think if you can stay within walking distance of the city Temple Bar ,O Connell St, or Smithfield are all convenient places to stay as they are close to the centre. Dublin is very pedestrian friendly plenty of restaurants shopping pubs and nightlife too!
What to pack
Dublin's weather is unpredictable always pack a light coat and umbrella and a good pair of walking shoes. Inner Dublin has old cobblestone Streets and is always best to have something comfortable on your feet.

“Definetly, not impressed..kind of rude treatment by front desk staff.”

After visiting 17 other european hotels in Spain and Portuga, this cold hotel and a kind of rude reception performed by a night clerk, made us feel very unconfortable! He separated our party of 2 couples by 2 floors and long distance from the elevators. But the hotel was practically empty!. The next morning the breakfast was handled bad as well. I will not step foot on it! It left a bat taste for my first experienec in Ireland!

“I'd have to think twice about returning”

If it wasn't for the pool, I probably wouldn't return. But, even there, the pool closed at 6 PM for children and 7 for adults? I had my 11 year-old grandson with me and luckily I asked before we took off sight-seeing in Dublin. Consequently, we HAD to swim when we arrived rather than after a long day of sightseeing! Very disappointing. The room itself was very bland and without any atmosphere. There was no shuttle from the airport to the hotel only a shuttle from the hotel to the airport?? Go figure? There was no breakfast included; not even a simple coffee and roll? We sat in the lobby for nearly a half hour before the shuttle arrived to take us to our flight home; no atmosphere or TV, or anything.

Area recommendations
We enjoyed the Leprechaun Museum (new) and, of course, the Temple Bar area and the Four Courts, etc. are always a must. But, please be advised that our main purpose of staying at this hotel was to be near the airport with the intention of spending only one day in Dublin. We had already been around Ireland for the previous week.
Other
If you are traveling with children, the Leprechaun Museum is a must-see.

“St. Patrick's Day in Dublin”

Of the two elevators near the lobby, one was not operating for the majority of the time we stayed (5 of 7 days). Hair dryer in room was missing, took 2 days to get it replaced. Irish music advertized in the bar did not happen during the entire stay. Housekeepers were very good and almost invisible. They kept the roon very clean. Being on the bus route was helpful to get into town. Although a trip to or from town or the airport by cab was always less than 20 euros. Bus only 1.60 euro each way. The front desk clerks were helpful and knowledgeable, but often overwhelmed by check-in, check-out, information requests etc. Usually only one front desk clerk working even during peak time. Several first rate pubs within a short walk or bus ride. Grocery store not far away.

Area recommendations
City center of Dublin is packed with interesting historical and architectural sites.
When to go
St. Patrick's Day is obviously a great time to be in Dublin.
Getting around
City bus service is exceptional. And the Hop-On/Hop-Off combined with a three or seven day bus pass is very reasonably priced.
Other
I have never traveled anywhere where the people were so friendly and helpful. I wish I could say that about my home country. Conversations with fellow bus riders, cabbies and people on the street made for a thoroughly enjoyable visit.
Comment from the hotel's management
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at The Regency Hotel. I am happy to hear that for the most part you enjoyed your stay at The Regency Hotel. Regarding the issue with the Hotel Lift, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. It is correct we did have one of the two lifts close to reception out of order for close to one week, this is due to the fact that there was a major fault with the lift and the company which services our lifts had to source a part from overseas. Again apologies for this inconvenience however we did have one functioning lift right beside Hotel Reception and another just at the end of a short corridor. I am happy to hear that Front Desk were helpful to you, I hope that you were not waiting too long at any time for assistance. Finally thank you for your comments, I hope that we will see you at The Regency Hotel in the future.

“Okay”

This hotel was fine for two college students looking for something cheap, but the cost of transportation (and we only took the bus into City Centre) was a little frustrating. The service at the hotel was wonderful, but I would not recommend exchanging money there. The breakfast was good (for a fee). We were under impressed by the room, there was no top sheet in the bed, and the window was broken and open the whole time. Don't get me wrong, we love it cold when we sleep at night, but having the window open meant the heat worked over time and it was hotter in our room than expected. It really wasn't terrible, just might pay more next time to be closer to City Centre and more comfortable sleeping.

Area recommendations
There isn't a whole lot around the hotel, although you can get to the Ivy House Pub down the street towards City Centre in ten minutes. I'd recommend taking the bus into City Centre and getting off at O'Connell St., it's very easy (gets a little pricey after a while, but better than taxis!) and there is a lot going on on O'Connell St. and around it.
Comment from the hotel's management
Thank you for taking the time to post a review of The Regency Hotel, I am sorry to hear that you did not have a totally satisfactory experience at The Regency Hotel. The Regency Hotel is located just a 10-15 minute bus journey from O'Connell Street. This is easily accessed using the Dublin Bus Service which stops just on the main road in front of The Regency Hotel. The current cost is €1.60 per person and we are happy to make change at Hotel Reception, alternatively Daily, 3 Day, 5 day Passes are available for sale at a convenience store just five minutes walk from The Regency Hotel. Regarding currency exchange unfortunately we currently only offer a limited exchange service at fixed rates, this is just for the convenience of customers exchanging small amounts of cash. For guests with larger exchange requirements we would always recommend using a Bureau de Change or Bank. Regarding your problems with your room, I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the quality of accommodation. Firstly as we use Duvets rather then Blankets it is correct that we do not use a top-sheet, this is because the Cotton Duvet Cover is changed every 1-2 days much as a top-sheet would be so it in fact makes a top-sheet redundant. I am sorry to hear about the problem with the Window in your room, i wonder did you bring this to the attention of Hotel Reception or a Duty Manager, I can assure you in such a case we would always alert our Maintenance Department and if necessary offer an alternative room. Again thank you for taking the time to post a review and I am happy to hear that our staff were helpful and provided good service during your stay.

“Regency OK For Bargain Hunters”

Regency Hotel in Drumcondra was adequate for our needs. Frequent buses are a half block away, whisking us to Centre City. Had great view of Wicklow Mountains; Irish breakfast was filling at 10 Euros. Luxury seekers won't find their search at Regency, but for travelers seeking bargain via Expedia; it worked. Recomend food at nearby Fagan's Pub; friendly staff, superior seafood.

“no outside food”

The Regency Hotel was amazing. It was a really nice hotel. The comfort level was great, if a little too ritzy for backpackers. The only complaint was that once in the room, we read that no outside food or alcohol was allowed in the room. For backpackers, this presented a problem because the lounge and nearby diner weren't cheap. Otherwise, this hotel is a great place. Good family place.

“Very Simple”

Hotel was simple and clean. Nothing flashy or great about it, but nothing bad either. A good "budget" hotel.
