O'Callaghan Davenport Hotel

Great location, excelent rooms good breakfast, staff very helpful. Take a walk in Merrion Square just across the road

Very much enjoyed my stay here, and felt that I got a bargain for the price that I paid. The building itself was very striking on the outside. Inside, the hotel was very nicely decorated and felt luxurious. Front desk staff were very gracious, courteous and helpful. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, a great place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The room was in very good condition, and housekeeping kept the room tidy. We didn't use the gym facilities that were available. Also did not eat in the hotel - thought the price of breakfast was rather pricey. Found a couple of places to have tasty and inexpensively priced breakfasts nearby on Nassau Street - Cafe Crepe and tne cafe on the second floor of Kilkenny Store. In general, found the price of food to be quite expensive in comparison to the US and even London. Hotel is very convenient to nearby attractions - Merrion Square is right across the street, and #29 Fitzwilliam, National Gallery of Art, National Library, National Museum of Archeology, Trinity College and Grafton Street are all within a five to ten minute walk. There is an Aircoach bus dropoff point right around the corner, which made the arrival from Dublin Airport very easy. However, the pickup point back to the airport is a ten to fifteen minute walk in front of the Tourist Information center - could be a hassle if you have lots of luggage. Did not use the bus system - it didn't seem to have routes that were convenient, nor could we make sense of the bus maps. But because so much of what we wanted to see was within walking distance of the hotel, that worked out fine. The hop-on, hop-off buses stop a block away, which we used one day to get out and see the remote attractions like the Kilmainham Gaol. We also liked the hotel's location away from the Temple Bar area, so it was very quiet at night. Also took a day trip using Bus Eireann to see Powerscourt, Glendalough and Wicklow - the bus terminal was an easy fifteen minute walk across the Liffey river. We would definitely recommend this hotel as a base for sightseeing in Dublin.

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were even able to check me into my room when I arrived at 11am, even though the normal check-in isn't until 2. Very clean, quiet, and had every amenity I needed. Rooms were very spacious. They wanted to charge 12euro/day for internet access, but it's free from their lobby or business center computers so I just used that. Only other downside was how expensive the hotel restaurant was; even the breakfast buffet was 17euro so I ate elsewhere. Other than that, not a single complaint. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

THIS was our first trip. . I put this together for us..THE HOTEL WAS FANTASTIC...CENTRALLY LOCATED TO ALL TOURIST ATTRACTIONS VIA HOP ON HOP OFF OR WALKING TOURS....THE SHOPPES ON NASSAU ST WERE PERFECT AND THE DISCOUNT AFFORDED BY THE DUBLIN PASS AND VAT TAX ON LARGE PURCHASES AFORRDED ME MANY DISCOUNTS SHOPPING THE HOTEL WAS THE BEST. MY ONLY COMPARISON IS TO THE CLARENCE HOTEL WHERE MY WIFE AND I ATTENDED A HIGH TEA..WHILE THE CLARENCE IS ALSO CONSIDERED A LUXURY HOTEL IT DOES NOT COMPARE TO THE DAVENPORT IN BEAUTY OR CLOSENESS TO WALKING TO GRAFTON ST..ST STEPENS SQ..GAIETY THEATER..TRINITY COLLEGE...NATIONAL MUSEUM AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS. THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY MY HOTEL IN BOOKING AN EXTRA SIDE TRIP TO THE RING OF KERRY WAS EFFICIENT. I WOULD ONLY ADD ONE THING THE HOTEL SHOULD ADVISE THEIR GUESTS THAT A DART STATION IS CLOSE BY AT PEARSE ST AND THAT THE FARMERS MARKET AT HOATH IS AVAILABLE ON SUNDAYS AND FOR 8 40 EURO FOR TWO PEOPLE IS WELL WORTH THE 30 MIN. TRIP OUT AND BACK..MY THANKS TO MARTIN,JOHN,JENNIFER AND ESPECIALLY TO GARETH FOR MAKING MY STAY EXTREMELY WONDERFUL..TO MY FRIENDLY CAB DRIVERS TOM MAGUIRE,BRIAN KELLY,JOHN HARRISON,DAVE O CONNELL,SHANE MURRAY,THOMAS CAFFERTY THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS...ONE LAST THING WHILE IN DUBLIN IF AnYONE HAS THE OPPURTUNITY AND YOU LIKE JAZZ PLEASE TAKE TIME TO VISIT JJ SYMTHES CLUB AND SAY HIGH TO EAMON FOR ME....JOHN HEALEY

We took the aircoach in from the airport and were dropped off at the corner of the hotel...couldn't have been more convenient! The staff was friendly, all my pre-requests were met and our room was lovely. It was exceptionally clean and in a perfect location for our needs. After a long day of shopping and sightseeing it was a perfect sanctuary. We would recommend this hotel for it's safety, location and professionalism of the staff.

A great Hotel in a convenient, prime location in Dublin.

location great for DART, hop-on hop-off bus,pubs,Trinity College. Only a block walk to Pearse St for DART. Also ATM next to DART Station. Staff very helpful with directions,and questions about tours. Breakfast can carry you through the day-wonderful selection. Rooms were spotless. Enjoy, we will return and stay at the Davenport. Room was ready at 10AM after a long flight-very welcoming!

My wife and I were in Ireland for a wedding and spent three nights at the Davenport while in Dublin. Front desk staff was very professional and helpful with directions, maps, etc. There's s computer (with free printing!) in the lobby and on at least one of the floors. Rooms were spacious and clean with coffee and tea available. Best part is that the hotel was an easy 5-10 min walk to most tourist attractions such as Grafton St, Temple Bar area, Trinity college, etc. For less than $70US/night, we couldn't expect much more.

good location. polite staff. knowledgable front desk - great value

Great location - close to shopping, Trinity College, Train Station, Restaurants & museums. Our room was much larger than many European hotels rooms.
