Great Location!!!

hotel was very cute and in a great location! safe area, and easily walkable to other locations in Dublin. The staff was very nice and helpful. Our rooms were big and clean and the beds were very comfortable. Only thing I did not like ( but this is the case throughout all of Ireland it seems) is no fan or a/c! it got kind of stuffy and hot inside the room so we opened the window at night, but it was very noisy because their was a nightclub a few doors down. Also tv had only abut 5 channels, but h well.Otherwise no complaints... a very safe nice area to walk in, even at night,

Hard to be objective after being robbed

We used the Leeson Inn as a base to explore Dublin and beyond, using public transportation. It was reasonably close to shopping areas and St. Stephen's Green and very close to the airport bus. Friday and Saturday night loud music and talking went on at a nearby club until at least 3:30 a.m. Otherwise it was quiet. It was necessary to be buzzed in by a person who was usually at the desk. The lobby was small and had no usable tables. The hotel offers Wi-Fi, but has no computers available for use by guests. There were no elevators, and one stairway was always blocked with clean or dirty linens. The room was quite small and stuffy, with no way to adjust the temperature, although the window did open. In the week we were there, we only got one bar of soap, so we had to shift it from sink to tub. The towels were fresh every day, but did not include washcloths. Breakfast was extra (which we learned only on check-out) and so-so. IF we had known, we would have eaten elsewhere. The worst part is was the theft. Someone with a key, possibly the maid, opened my zipped luggage, found my wallet in my purse, took all my folding money. and then closed everything back up. Leeson Inn has not offered even an apology. Otherwise, hotel was adequate for our purposes, not as good as other hotels we were have stayed. We did have a terrific time in Dublin and beyond, but it was not because of the Leeson Inn.

Leeson Inn Downtown

Staff was very nice and helpfull. Great location for walking. Noisy outside due to clubs being below the building. Rooms very small. However it serves the purpose. We where there to see the country not to say in the room. Note no elevator if staying on the third floor

Decent hotel for price

Decent hotel for the price. The hotel isn't the newest, however it is very easily accessed by public transportation from the airport, close to town, and in a quiet neighborhood near a beautiful park. Recommend this hotel if you're trying to live a little more economically in Dublin. Room was clean and tidy.
