Our room was clean and well appointed, but it was a steam room. The radiator pumped hot air in this tiny room. We called reception and a person came up. He said he turned it off. I asked if we could open window. He said they were skylights and did not open. We went out to dinner, thinking it would be ok when we because he’d turned off radiator. When we returned it was boiling in the room. We called reception. They sent someone up. He said the previous person had turned it higher not off. He turned it off. He also opened window which previous person said it did not open. No one apologized throughout the issue. It took until morning to cool down. No compensation or apology for a miserable night in a quite expensive hot box.

I checked in late and left early but the staff was very nice and helpful. My room was very clean and well appointed. If I am ever in Dublin again, I might stay there.

Great location across from St. Stephen's Green and very easy to get to the center city. Right next to the MoIL and it's superb cafe. Stautntons staff was very well trained and helpful to a fault. Breakfast was first-rate. Our basement room was beautiful but a bit stuffy due to a tricky exhaust fan.

Great location. Beautiful park across the street and shopping just around the corner.

I was very disappointed in my stay at this hotel. I had great hotels in London and Edinburgh on this trip - and I was truly looking forward to this hotel for the last leg. When we arrived - we were put on the 3rd floor ( which is actually the 4th floor in the States) with no elevator. I don’t mind walking stairs but not with luggage. Also the hotel had no AC - and being on the 4th floor made it very warm and uncomfortable. I wish I had known that before I booked. The windows were open in the room, I suppose to cool it off - but it let mosquitoes and flies in. I asked the front desk for a fly swatter and was told they didn’t have any. The bathroom was extremely small with a sink that was less than adequate. The shower was also tiny with a shower that took a very long time to heat up and had virtually no water pressure. I am a 5 minute shower taker, but it took me over twenty minutes - just to make sure that I had rinsed all the shampoo out. There was no mini fridge in the room either. The hair dryer only worked if you kept your finger on the button- made it difficult to use. I asked if there were other rooms available and was told “only on the ground floor (basement) with no views”. The hotel itself is very pretty and I wouldn’t suggest that you don’t stay here — just don’t go in the heat of summer, bring your own hair dryer, and if they put you in room 304 - immediately ask for a different room.

Beautiful hotel! Cozy and clean and the staff are fantastic and helped us with everything. Would definitely stay here again :)

Staunton on the Green was quaint and lovely inside with many unique architectural details. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. We loved the dining experience for breakfast as well. We would highly recommend.

Clean and well appointed rooms and great service. They warned me when I first booked that there was scaffolding outside. My single room faced the scaffolding and they upgraded me to a lovely double room in the back at no extra charge. Also, there was some confusion as to whether I booked with breakfast included, so they just gave it to me. Really nice, helpful staff.

The hotel is centrally located across from a park within easy walking distance of most Dublin attractions and many restaurants. Breakfast was very good but offered only limited variety from day to day. Our room (101) was spacious but the bathroom was smaller than most broom closets. It was terribly cramped with a useless sink. I had to keep my toilet articles on the mantel! At more than $350 per night it was grossly overpriced for what was billed as a “superior” room. The hotel is also under renovation although on most days the noise was not excessive. I would be wary of staying at the Staunton again and wonder whether it is safe to use Orbitz in the future.

The staff is very warm and friendly made me feel at home Hotels extremely clean centrally located excellent choice to stay at if you want to see Dublin

You won't beat the location, and the hotel is beautiful inside with an outstanding staff. However, their is no business center, wifi is sketchy to unreliable, and ground floor rooms lack modern safety features in terms of the windows. There are no environmental controls in the rooms for you to adjust, and it is a noisy hotel because it is so old. Everything creaks and pops, and if you are a light sleeper, forget it. But I must say, the staff are world class at service. Just my honest assessment.

Early check-in available (€20). They took our bags up and gave us a quiet upgraded room. Breakfast is well worth it: traditional Irish and other options. Friendly staff and a clean room.

This hotel is located right on Stephens Green - THE place to be in Dublin. Lots of good shopping and food are just a stones throw away. The challlenge is the hotel is in a VERY old building. The space is fairly well maintained but issues with sewer smell (from drains that likely need work) in the rooms, poor wifi (inconsistent speeds & need to reconnect constantly) and uneven floors with significant slopes plague the hotel. The bathrooms have been recently remodeled but they strangely failed to fix this sewer issue. This sewer smell was present in at least two different hotel rooms during our stay as I spoke with another guest with the same issue. If these issues could be fixed, this hotel could be an ideal choice for visiting Dublin. Until then, I will not be returning.

The first hotel clerk was a bit rude. Told us we should have planned our trip when the gay pride parade wasn't going on. Like we had access to that information in advance. We were given a handicapped room without a proper shower. No hot water in the sink. Had to pay extra for parking three blocks away. Breakfast wasn't served until 8 so we didn't get to eat before leaving to catch our flight. By far the most disappointing of the hotels we stayed.

This is a charming "B&B" across from the Green. The location is great for shopping, restaurants and concerts. Breakfast was good and hearty (typical of Ireland) and the coffee better than most of Italy. The bathroom contained a good sized tub rather than the tiny showers so typical of most B&B's and hotels.Staff was helpful in finding us a good play to attend.

I had stayed here before and had a spacious room that only required a few short flights of stairs to access. The ambiance of that room was lovely and maintained much of the original architecture/ambiance. I was eager to return. This time I paid more money and had to walk quite far down a couple of hallways and up 3 or 4 flights of stairs with all my baggage, ending up in a very small room with a slanted ceiling that was modern and minimalist. It did, however, have a lovely sky light that could be opened for fresh air. I don't think there was even a chair to sit in. The internet connection was off and on, making my connection to work very difficult. I couldn't even check into my airline. The staff will carry your suitcase if you ask and they were accommodating when I needed an earlier continental breakfast. They were very friendly and kind. It might be good to ask for a room that faces St. Stephen's Green and is on a lower floor if carrying bags and/or climbing stairs is a challenge.

I've stayed at Staunton's three times over the years. In comparison to other guesthouse stays in Dublin, it far surpasses any in price, comfort, location and staff. I was there in August for a week doing research, and was made to feel at home. The staff, especially the front desk staff are incredibly helpful. I highly recommend Staunton's on the Green - my home away from home in Dublin.
