For dinner you can relax and dine with imaginative dishes by evening glimmer and gaze through the 'Glaze' at the passing canal waters from the Glaze Bistro.

Morning coffee is served in the Terrace Bar. If you are looking for variety at lunchtime, enjoy the great selection from the Carvery Lunch Menu in the Terrace Bar.

Treated stranded passengers very well

Many people were recently stranded in Dublin due to the volcano eruption. The Mespil Hotel handled everyone very nicely. Staff unfailingly helpful. My room was fine as well - spacious and cheerful.

I didn't have bkfast at the hotel. But lots of nearby take-out places and restaurants plus two grocery stores (Tesco and Spar) up the block. So many options.

A step off the beaten path

Away from the madding crowds this hotel was very pleasant. Front desk was very supportive through the "Volcano Ash Crisis".

STAY HERE

We loved this hotel, from check in to check out, everything was great. We arrived early (5am) on a cold, rainy Dublin morning and the staff was super friendly about giving us our room. (Granted it was the off season, but still nice) The hotel itself is very well kept and the rooms are nice sized and very clean. We liked the fact that we could walk to Temple bar area or Stephens green but then return to our quieter area at night. Not that the area is dead. There are some great pubs and coffee spots within a block. i only wish we could go back in the summer to take a stroll along the canal right in front of the hotel. If you need a budget friendly hotel in Dublin, you can't beat this spot.

Don't buy a Map of Dublin! The hotel gives you a great tourist map that shows you where everything you need is located.

Good Value

Nice place in a convenient location. walking distance to many points of interest. The hotel buffet is a little bland and spendy, but plenty of affordable options nearby.

The Mespil is consistently a good

The Mespil is consistently a good performer and a great value 3 star hotel. Front desk staff who are friendly and professional. Rooms are good sized, bright and warm. Bathrooms are clean and functional. Lunch in the restaurant is good value and popular. Location is great. If there is a weak spot it is probably the bar which is big, lacking in atmosphere and expensive.
