Guests frequently highlight the convenient location of The 1852 Hotel, with many finding it an easy walk to the city center and close to attractions like The Empire, as well as Maggie Mays diners right across the street. The spacious rooms are another draw, with some even featuring bay windows, and the modern decor and amazing shower often receive praise.

a decent stay

efficient check-in free beer comfy room unhelpful staff loud music warm water

The self check-in process was really efficient. It gave me a free beer. my room was super comfy. it even had a little reading nook, raised from the floor. it reminded me of fancy homes i've seen in new york.

the restaurant staff weren't very helpful. the hotel is above a pub. this wasn't clear beforehand. the music was loud, no matter which room i booked. there was no warm water in the shower.

convenient stay near city centre

ideal location downstairs bar efficient process

The location was ideal, close to the train station. The bar downstairs offered great drinks. I found the self-check-in process quite efficient, it saved some time. the location was perfect, though the parking was expensive.

The absence of a lift presented a challenge since my room was on a higher floor. carrying luggage up multiple flights of stairs was difficult. Next time, i'll request a lower floor if available.

The room featured a comfortable bed and included tea and coffee facilities for convenience, what a treat. The bedroom seemed large and well kept, and a good shower was available, convenient after a long journey.

CENTRAL and Convenient STAY

convenient location easy connection complimentary beer amazing job

I found the location VERY convenient. Botanic train station is across the road. It made connections to Dublin easy. Check-in was simple. I received complimentary beer upon arrival, a NICE bonus. The cleaning staff does an amazing job!

The hotel lacked a lift. Carrying luggage up the stairs wasn't the easiest thing, especially after enjoying a few pints.
