Hotels near Brown Thomas, Dublin

Comfortable beds, and good facilities in the room. Welcoming service downstairs too. Excellent selection in the breakfast.

It’s a lovely apartment style hotel. We booked a studio room and were very impressed by the thoughtful design of the room. The kitchenette was very well equipped with everything you’d need to make a simple meal. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and the location was great, close to public transport and city centre. The only downside for us, a small imperfection, was the sheets actually didnt fit the bed completely and the bed moves a little, so we find ourselves having to fix the sheets and the bed everyday. Hopefully they can fix this going forward.

I can only use a certain poetry to describe our stay in Dublin and in particular Beckett Locke apartments. We came to the hotel when we arrived tired and weary from a long flight. Kind faces greeted us at reception and booked us in as if we were royalty. These last few days our beautiful studio apartment gave us a place to rest our feet after beating Dublin's cobblestone streets. When we left this morning tears streamed down our cheeks as we had to leave Beckett Locke, our small little home in Ireland.

I decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked. Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance. The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre. Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well. Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home. The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want. Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!

Excellent hotel and very friendly staff. There is a shuttle to the airport that the reception staff will book for you upon check in. Would definitely recommend this hotel if you have an early flight the next day.

It was amazing experience staying at that location. Everything was perfect, even the weather!

The man at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming as soon as my friends and I arrived. The rooms were kept especially clean throughout our entire stay. The friends I traveled with also ate at the breakfast and said the price was fair because the buffet was so good. 10/10 stay. Also just a ten-ish minute ride downtown and airport.

Very clean and efficient hotel, Will definitely stay here again

Great hotel! Great location, really well decorated and really customer centric. Would definitely stay again.

I visited Ireland for a conference in late June and stayed in Dublin for two nights. This hotel is conveniently located near 3 Arena Point, and the Airport Express drops you right at this stop, making it a mere 3-minute walk to the hotel. Overall, the hotel's interior environment is quite good. It's situated across from the River Liffey, and within a 5-minute walk, you'll find a Thai restaurant, a convenience store, and the Luas tram terminus. However, the room was generally quite small, and amenities like slippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs were not provided. I had to use my own. The room's curtain was a single layer, meaning when it was open, it was a clear glass window with a direct view into the building opposite, so I generally kept it closed. Breakfast was a bit pricey at 20 euros, so I skipped it. The staff's attitude towards East Asians wasn't bad, but it felt slightly less attentive compared to their interactions with West Asian or European guests. Finally, a big thank you to Trip.com for their service; their human agents were very helpful in coordinating many things.
