3-Star Hotels in Dublin

Excellent location, warm-hearted owners, clean, great breakfast, highly convenient eateries and grocery store within 100-300m walk. Easily accessible from airport by Bus #16 or 41 (loading bay at Zone 15, outside Terminal 1, direct, 14 bus stops). As the digital board and announcement in the bus is rather confusing, the best is to request the bus driver to inform you to get off at ”Shanvarna Road Est, stop 231”. Try to buy a Standard Leap Card from Terminal 1 Convenient Store for €10 (€5 deposit included), if not available, a Leap Card for single ride can be purchased at €2.60 or simply pay at bus with €2.60 coins. Upon checking in, walk 500m from B&B to Maxol Service Station Swords Road to purchase the Standard Leap Card, your single ride will then cost €2 only with free transfers within 90 minutes. Buses to downtown Dublin (14-17 stops) or other counties nearby are also available from the same bus stop across the road of the B&B. Returning from downtown will drop you off at the bus stop right in front of the B&B. The Comet (a local pub) and Centra Santry Village grocery store are within 100-200m walk from B&B, a pizza/burger take away and a Chinese Takeway are also available across the road. Owners are kind and friendly. Would recommend this B&B to everyone visiting Dublin especially solo traveler depending on public transport and prefers quiet places out of downtown.

There are many Chinese supermarkets and restaurants downstairs in the hotel, and the front desk has dedicated security personnel who will help with takeout. The breakfast is also plentiful. However, there's an epic bug: the outermost elevator goes down to the -1 floor, which is a staff-only area. The laundry room is on the same floor, separated by a door with access control (Figure 10). Entering the staff area requires a card, and here's the interesting thing: if you finish doing laundry and press the elevator button, and the staff elevator comes down, you can't get through because your room card can't be used on that door. You either have to wait for that elevator to go up before the other regular elevators come down, or you have to use the adjacent stairs. On the day of check-out, I happened to meet someone in a suit, presumably the manager, and I mentioned it to him. I look forward to seeing how things are improved.

The service was generally good, except for an issue we experienced with a staff member named Peter. Despite having a prepaid and pre-booked stay, we were threatened with cancellation because we requested to check in at 9:30 pm after receiving no response from the property. The automatic door was locked, there was no one at the check-in desk, and we had to ask another staff member to direct us to someone who could assist. Peter eventually came to help, stating he was doing so out of his busy schedule. I expressed that we would prefer to be checked in by the staff member assigned to that role, at which point he stated he would cancel our booking. When we asked on what grounds, he said he was the manager. It was an unusual and uncomfortable interaction, especially given that we were simply trying to check in to a stay we had already paid for.

Really happy with this hotel. Booked it last minute when I was late for my ferry and did not want to travel during the night. The room was really clean and tidy. Receptionist Mauricio (?) was very pleasant and helpful. As I was not planning to stay in Dublin overnight, I had no toothbrush. I did not think that Travelodge can provide one, but there is no shame in asking. Hooray! I got a disposable dental kit, that really made my stay much more comfortable. The hotel has a bar and a restaurant, it does look much more posh that an average travelodge. I wanted some ice for my drink at the room. Got a glass full of ice at the bar with no problem. The only downside could be if you are a couple and travelling with 2 or more large suitcases. The room is on a smaller side. Very happy with my last minute decision to stay at this hotel.

Location is good. Near Aircoach stop. Relatively new hotel. Room is small but basic provided. Air conditioning doesn’t seem to work but for this time of year it was ok. We like the view facing the street. Not quite bothered about the traffic noise.

Located near the pier, it's a 30-minute walk to the bustling downtown area, offering decent value for money. The front desk service was also good; they were able to resolve any issues. There's no free parking, which is understandable given its proximity to the city center. A convenient plus is its super close location to the airport shuttle stop, less than a 10-minute walk. The room windows, however, do not open.

Location was really convenient. Walking distance from the tram and bus stations. Staff were friendly too and assisted with helping to book a cab to the airport. Check in and luggage storage were smooth as well. However was a little disappointed on the room size as it was partially cramped. Amenities like slippers, fridge, etc were not available as well. Overall, good convenient place in terms of location.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were really friendly and the hotel was beautiful , very clean and everything you need was provided in the room. I will definitely be back again. 😊

We had a great stay at Generator Dublin! We booked a private room with a small private bathroom for six people, and it worked really well for our group. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming (welcome drinks included) and the location made it easy to explore Dublin. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

Staff was very friendly in the reception, we paid not much to leave our luggage before our flight, location is super well located. The room is quite small, but because of price in comparison with what is offered around was really good. Definitely will not stay more than 3 days as not even windows possible to open.
