Great hotel just minutes from Dublin city centre
In the leafy Dublin suburb of Ballsbridge close to Aviva Stadium, Ballsbridge Hotel is just a 15 minute walk to the city centre, the O2 Arena and Bord Gais Energy Theatre. Trinity College, Dublin's cultural quarter Temple Bar and Dublin's main shopping district are also just a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel. The DART rail network (just 2 minutes from the hotel) connects guests to the surrounding beauty of Dublin's coastal villages. The Airport shuttle, the Aircoach, drops tourists right outside the hotel door.

- The leafy and affluent suburb of Ballsbridge is a leisurely stroll from the main shopping areas of Grafton Street and St. Stephen's Green.

With traditional music at the weekends and big screens for all the big games, the Dubliner is the place to enjoy the craic and lively banter into the early hours of the morning.

It was within walking distance
It was within walking distance to town which was nice, but also there was a bus right down the street from the hotel. Don't be fooled by the low cost of the hotel, the rooms we big and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Family Vacation
This hotel is situated at the corner of an intersection, making it difficult to get to, especially if you don't know the city. A 'Family room' consisted of a small double, a single and a pull out couch! Only one pillow was provided for each bed. Each evening I had to order two sets of extra towels as only the minimum were provided, even though they knew we had four adults in the room. The hair dryer wouldn't work, and with three women staying was a nightmare, each time I called the front desk "They said they were fully booked and couldn't find a replacement!" Last morning when we were checking out a replacement was provided...However NO hot water was available!! again we were informed by the front desk "That maintenance didn't come into until after we checked out!" No option to provided use with a room that did have hot water Needless to say we were very unhappy with our stay, and were the 4-star rating came from is anybodys guest, maybe on a good day 2 might be more approprate

Long walk from hotel
Don't try and drive in this city, the streets signs are never in a good location to read, and when you can, they are faded! Taxi fares are about 12 euros each way to any shopping or entertainment areas

Fantastic price for good location
I booked this hotel for the location. It is close to the city centre also, costing less than €10 in a taxi. The aircoach stop is right outside the hotel. There is a shop also located in the hotel which was unexpected but great. The only confusing point is that the Ballsbridge Inn and Ballsbridge Towers are actually the one building!!!

This must be the best value in
This must be the best value in Europe. Five star accomodation at 3 star prices. Formerly Jurys flagship hotel it was acquired for redevelopment, but the re-developer seems to have run out of money, so the current owners operate a trimmed down service in what was a five star hotel. Lovely big rooms and comfortable accomodation, but without all the luxury services that you would get at a top hotel.

Good for the money
In e-bookers site, the room facilities included free internet. But in reality, you are given only half an hour free if you deposit your credit card details, and then paid. If you have a pre-paid booking but do not carry a credit card during stay, no internet!!!
