Buswells Hotel

We had a beautiful afternoon tea here, the hotel is atmospheric, the decor exquisite, location very central and service attentive. Food is excellent. Buswells is a Dublin institution and well worth visiting, conveniently located to the National Gallery, National Library and Trinity College.

Room was good bathroom excellent. Had requested vegan option for dinner beforehand(as stated very clearly on the dinner menus). There was nothing available. Dinner...mussels arrived luke warm and cold...when brought to attention of staff nothing was done. Apple crumble arrived ice cold in the middle and took at least 15 mins to be sent back to table. At no point did we receive any explanation or apology for the poor service. We mentioned the lack of vegan option upon checkout but she just said sorry and nothing further was done. I would suggest that you don't advertise vegan options if they aren't available. Don't bother with the dinner!! Ash was a very good waiter and was very helpful but rest of staff didn't seem to have any hospitality training. Breakfast very good aesha very professional. Would return but on bed and breakfast basis.

Booked a triple room & a double room. The triple room was v disappointing & definitely not large enough for three adults. The wardrobe was tiny and suitcases had to be put in the bathroom. The pillows were far too big & thick & hard to sleep on. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. Location was very good, with nice old worldly lobby, reception & bar.

I've been going to Buswell's for 40 years, few times a year. I love the pub for sausage and chips with Guinness. The chips have always been old style, like an Italian chipper - brilliant. Last time there the chips were like French fries from a chain. Horrible beyond words. I'll be back and if I get this junk that will sadly be my last time going. I had eaten some of the sausages before thinking to take the photo!!

A wonderful hotel situated in the heart of Dublin city centre. Very clean, lovely rooms - highly recommended. Our stay was for two adults, next time we’ll bring the 2 kids and I’ll review again. Very close to Leinster house, the watering hole of choice for politicians.

Very disappointing 2 night stay. Our original room had no heat and after several hours and conversations we were moved to another. Room had functioning heat but the shower was a disaster. Lots of street noise and run down look. Desk staff is curt, rude, and not helpful. We expected much better based on website and reviews.
