I had an awesome time in Dublin and the Mespil was a great location for me. Everywhere I wanted to go, in Dublin, was only a short walk from the hotel. I would stay there again.

Visit to Dublin
This is my third stay at this hotel in less than two years. I stay there when visiting Dublin. I find the location excellent for accessing Dublin City Centre. The staff are courteous and friendly without being intrusive. It meets my expectations any time I stay there and I would recommend this hotel to other visitors.

Good value
I did not spend much time at hotel as I was on the go most of the time. Did not use restaurant so no opinion. Hotel did provide 2 courtesy computers in lobby which was nice for checking email. Did not see any room thermostat and room got pretty warm at times. Staff provided on time wake up calls. Hotel is a distance from tourist areas but public transportation is nearby. Would stay again.

Very clean, good location
The Mespil Hotel was centrally located within walking distance to museums and parks. It was a little further walk to the central part of Dublin. The front desk people were very accommodating, the breakfast very nice, and the rooms clean and adequate. A bus stops every morning in front of the hotel to take people to the Hop Off and On bus tour. Highly recommend taking it. We enjoyed the Guinness and Jameson whiskey tours and also the archaelogical museum. It was about a half mile walk to the Dart (the speed train) from the Mespil. We took a 20 minute train ride south to Dalkey, a quaint town along the coast which has a lovely castle and church.

Long walk from hotel
Enjoyed O'Neills, Ryans, and the Brazen Head Pubs. The Brazen Head is the oldest pub in Dublin. You can get to all these pubs on the Hop On and Off bus tour.

The hotel is, in general, a little
The hotel is, in general, a little tired. The staff were helpful and mainly friendly. We stayed in a room on the upper floor and had problems with the shower. It seemed at best just a trickle but every so often it dried up to a dribble. We did report it and a maintenance came while we were out and said it was fixed., but the following mornings it was the same. Personally I think when other rooms are using hot water the pressure on our floor disappeared. Not really worth the money we paid.

Service at the Mespil Hotel was
Service at the Mespil Hotel was excellent. Check-in & out was fast & efficient. Our room was an "Executive Room", and it was spacious and comfortable. Late night snack in the bar was tasty. Continental breakfast okay. All in all great value for money in an excellent location.
