Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Lansdowne Hotel is appreciated for its convenient location, a comfortable walk or short bus ride to Dublin's city center, including popular spots like Stephens Green and Grafton Street. Guests often find the rooms spacious, with some even featuring a separate sitting area. The breakfast is generally well-received, especially for those who aren't vegetarians, but a few guests have noted that the window curtains could be better at blocking out light. many guests consider it a beautiful and clean place to stay, offering easy access to nearby restaurants and pubs.

Fantastic Stay!

cute staffattentive housekeeping
The staff was very cute and responsive to questions. The room was also super clean. I noticed very attentive housekeeping. I appreciated the bar located downstairs. It had a good atmosphere for an evening drink.
The stairs were a slight challenge with my luggage.

I found various restaurants and shops to be a short walk away. The bus stops were within easy reach. I had no problems getting around the city. The area was very quiet at night. This gave me a good night's sleep.

bus stopscobwebs on ceilingpoor soundproofing
the hotel location was acceptable with bus stops nearby.
I was really frustrated that the room wasn't clean. I saw cobwebs on the ceiling in both the room and the bathroom. the carpet and furniture seemed old, and the bathroom definitely needs updating. also, my room window faced a wall, and the soundproofing was poor because i could hear people in the hallways.

Solid Choice for Aviva Visitors

perfect locationhelpful receptionistwalking directionsnice touch
I attended a concert at the aviva stadium and found this location perfect. I walked to the stadium easily. The receptionist helped me with walking directions to the city center. A barbecue was on the front yard before the concert. THAT was a nice touch.
The shower knob came off, and it took two complaints to address the temperature. I wasn't offered a new room or any compensation.

The location was good with easy access to the Aviva stadium.
Black mold was visible on the bathroom wall. A bottle of water was not provided in the room. These issues detracted from what could have been a better experience.
