Hotels Near Martello Tower Sandymount in Dublin

The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Trinity College. The lobby is new, but the rooms are a bit old and small, a typical British hotel style.

I visited the clink I lar hostel with two of my friends in February 2024. Now the staff was really friendly and lovely and the location was great. However, I was in a mixed room (with mostly men) because we were a group of 2 girls and one guy and the room was disgusting. There was absolutely no ventilation, windows didn’t open and there was no air conditioning so the room stank of body odour and sweat! It was very unpleasant… The bed layout was also really strange, two of the bunk bed sets, the ones at the corner of the room were sort of connected which meant that the man sleeping in the bed next to mine could just move his curtain and look into my bed, which he did and made me feel really uncomfortable. Other than that during our stay the kitchen was out of order which was also incredibly inconvenient because Dublin is so expensive. So in conclusion I would not really recommend if you’re a woman/queer person unless you stay in a private room or woman only room.

Point A Hotel, what can I say. Well presented inside and out, the access to bedrooms locked behind a key card, the bar and breakfast area also immaculate. As you enter your bedroom it is well organised and has everything you need. The bed was a firm mattress but that was perfect, a surprised samsung 43” TV was waiting to be watched from the wall. With LED strip lights and mode lights all around the room and a decent air con to go with. The room had a safe but i never needed to use it. The one LED strip light on the curtain track was losing its stick and i had to reattach it everytime the curtains where opened. Speaking of which the arrangement I felt was weird as it typically goes curtain than net curtain from inside looking out, this hotel went net curtain then curtain. Maybe you do get some rooms with a view, i most certainly did not, considering how close it is to the heart of the city and Temple Bar. My window view consisted of an opposite rooms window and exterior build walls and a steep drop down below. If you are looking for a well presented hotel with decent sleep quality, this hotel is for you, if you are on your own this hotel may not be for you, due to its lack of hot meals at breakfast and throughout the day. For a hotel at £180 a night, you could easily get a hotel with a hot food breakfast and evening meals nearby, the price structure like the rest of Dublin is overpriced for what it is, one of the cheaper priced hotels but still not worth the price. The breakfast was ”okay” you had a selection of 2 cheeses, 3 sandwich meats, 3-5 pastry options like pain au chocolat, croissants, scones, sausage rolls and mini bread rolls / baguettes. Was some cereal options too, a choice between orange juice, apple juice and ice water, then your usual hot drinks choice. It was all fresh and well presented, i just wish it had a cooked option too. In terms of location, ignoring the building opposite that was a form whiskey shop. It was great, right around the corner from O'connell Street, where it was incredibly busy, multiple shopping centre esque buildings along each side street, with id say 10 minutes you can be in Temple Bar area on the South Side of the River by foot. With such easy access to trams, buses, taxis near enough on your doorstep, and the far enough away from Temple Bar to not hear it, but close enough to go there was ideal. In quiet traffic from the airport you can make it in 15minutes. So to summarise, it was a good, but overpriced

Stay city aparthotels are clean, comfortable, & practical! The waterfall shower and convenience of having a kitchen were highlights. I was staying with a large group of college students on a class trip which is just inherently kind of annoying but we were treated just like any other customer. Demi, Kayla, & Vicky were so helpful!

Had a wonderful stay for 2 nights , check in was fabulous, met Gillian who had emailed us about the bus transfer, from the airport, information was very good. Our room was ready so checked in a little early, much appreciated after our long flight from Canada. Dinner at the hotel was excellent , Leo our waiter was excellent, very friendly and always with a great smile! Enjoyed a fantastic breakfast, Irish sausages were to die for they so delicious the best sausages ever!! A great base to be to get into the city and explore, we had such a great time, after visiting other countries on route we checked back into the Hotel again for our last night before leaving for our return flight back to Canada, stayed in Room 330, simply perfect, had a taxi back as luggage and early flight , cost 30 euros, Thank you to all the staff at the hotel for the lovely anniversary card and chocolates, we really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again. Thank you!

From booking our stay to checkout, our entire experience was excellent. This is a 4 star, airport hotel, yes... but it's park location, proximity to the city and decor that would be at home in a gorgeous boutique hotel makes for an altogether elevated experience. Nadia could not have done more for us when we called to book and she really set the standard from the get go. Check in was smooth and pleasant and while the room was probably one of the last ones that hasn't been renovated it was huge, clean, comfortable, stylish (maybe very slightly dated) and had everything we could possibly need. The bed was huge and extremely comfortable, the shower pressure was good and the toiletries were all lovely. The little room snacks were also high quality and very nice. Every other member of staff we interacted with was extremely professional and personable, especially the waiting staff in the bar, where were had 2 very nice coffees. The breakfast was also extremely good and checkout was quick and painless. A taxi to the Grafton St area will set you back about €20 and the number 16 bus goes by, just outside the park very regularly. The parking facilities are excellent and the airport shuttle is incredibly convenient, modern and very clean. It's such a good all rounder. I could not recommend this hotel highly enough. I think this is the best value 4 Star in Dublin.

It looks like I just hit best excellent etc. I assure you that I read everything & did enjoy this hotel room at the same feel as the Hilton in Berlin so pleasantly surprised.The breakfast was well planned for streaming through buffet and was all beautifully presented! Thanks

Service was very good; the facilities would be vastly improved with the addition of a bar fridge in the room. Food in the hotel was excellent.

We were super happy with our stay at the crowne plaza. Dublin is an expensive city but if you book the room for four people here, you get great value. The breakfast was awesome too!
