O'Callaghan Davenport Hotel

A short walk to Trinity College and many other sights. That's the best thing. The rooms themselves need updating. Cleanliness can be stepped up (had to call to have sheets changed) Water pressure in shower great -- but where are the washcloths? Bed is extremely firm. I like to wind down at night by watching a little tv. Half the stations listed were not available. And although it was a flat screen -- no high def.

a better deal during the off season for sure, it can be pricey during the high season.

Staff was excellent to deal with. Room was great. Would stay here again.

I stayed over the holidays and the staff could not be more accomodating. Check in was very efficient and they offered my room early a my flight came in mid morning. I knew in advance that there were no washcloths nor alarm clock. So I brought my own. There is a tv alarm that's very dependable. The wall has a built in converter - I could plug in my US curling iron and digital camera charger easily. Water pressure was amazing in the shower. Doesn't have a convenience store for snacks or toiletries. Hotel is a bit off the path. But everything I needed was within a short walk. Bed was very comfy; small but adequate fitness room; breakfast not included- that would have been nice. Had blowdryer and iron in room; coffee was instant but tea was amazing! Close to everything! I would stay with this brand again without hesitation.

Location was very good - easy walking distance to Trinity, Grafton Street. We also walked to other attractions - Guiness, St. Patrick's although that might be too much distance for some. Hotel was clean, quiet. Only drawback - needing to pay for internet access.

We were situated less than a block away from St Stephens Green which is the best manicured urban oasis I've ever seen. Everything within the city centre area was within easy walking distance. The only surprise to me was that breakfast in the morning wasn't included in the room fee, but I understand now that that's typical for European travel? I'd stay there again if/when I return to Dublin.

The Hotel have spacious rooms and friendly staff. The Breakfast was good. I didn't quite understand that one doesn't get breakfast included on the departure day as in most other hotels the arrival day is counted as an overnight without breakfast and the last day (check-out)is included. We had to buy our breakfast and that should be told to the guest beforehand. Otherwise, we were pleased with the Hotel and its location which is very center.

We could not have asked for a better hotel room or location than O'Callaghan, Davenport. The location, right on Merrion Square, is a perfect location for Dublin - you're just blocks away from the Hop On/Hop Off bus that takes one all over Dublin. This bus takes you to the Heuston train station that gets you all over the rest of Ireland. You're also one block away from picking up any city bus. You can also walk to Grafton street and the restaurant/bars in the Temple Bar area. The hotel was excellent. Our large room had plentiful shelf and drawer space and they had a wonderful selection of breakfast teas and coffees in the room. The room was totally cleaned every day, top to bottom, and the updated, air-conditioned, hotel would rival any newer hotel but O'Callaghan has an 'old world' charm that a newer hotel cannot match. The staff was willing to help in any way necessary. We believe we found the perfect hotel in which to spend our week vacationing in Dublin.

Great location. Convenient for walking or catching a tour bus. 2 coffee shops across the street. Rooms were spacious, very clean and comfortable. Staff was helpful

Location was good, hotel was average, price was decent. Good for a short stay.
