Hotels Near Church of the Annunciation, Rathfarnham in South Dublin

Beautiful hotel in a peaceful and gorgeous part of Dublin. A few minutes walk away from the Green Line LUAS. The more compact bedrooms are a bit on the small side for a couple, but they’re still well appointed, very new and clean, and comfortable. The hotel bar is cosy and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the lack of parking, you’ll have to park onstreet at fairly considerable expense. Not really the fault of the hotel, but it is something to note if you’re driving here.

The place is in a great location but the keys to the room are supposed to be picked up in a different location that is quite far from the hotel. The staff is supposed to be multilingual but when we called for help to get the keys we got unlucky and had someone over the phone that struggled with English (in Ireland..). The place is overall very clean but the decorative pillows don’t seem to get washed. It’s ok for a brief stay, not for a long one as there’s not wardrobe. Nowhere to store anything or at least put the luggage. Also, the kitchen has silverware and mugs but nothing to clean them. For this price, I was expecting a little bit more attention to details.

How sound proof are these rooms! Wow, in the heart of the city and slept sound, better than a baby on a 1st Class Flight. I’m a Dubliner, left Ireland 24 years ago and came back for Paddy’s Weekend. I arrived amongst the thrills and excitement of the parade, with everything only a stones throw away. Great location for the center of Dublin. Although the reception area was a little underwhelming compared to other hotels of same price and stars, it was a true joy to stay here. Spent a lot of time in Temple Bar area and of course the marvelous Horse Shoe Bar at the Shelbourne Hotel.

Lovely budget hotel about 20 mins walk from Temple Bar area. Upon arrival nothing was too much and a warm welcome from Diana , giving us a coffee as we had come in on an early morning flight. Rooms were clean and basic. Comfortable bed , lovely clean shower room with powerful shower. A bit tight for room but it was only a base to get our heads down and change. There is a vending machine for morning coffee … easy walk into town… just follow the tram tracks , and easy for the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery. Excellent value for money if you’re going to be spending most of your time away from the hotel , but comfortable enough to unwind for a few hours too.

Stayed here last week before a concert, and flying out the day after. We booked two rooms, a family room and a double room for my elderly mother. When we checked in, the air conditioning in the family room was not working. It was one of the hottest days of the year, so we called reception who sent someone up. They couldn’t understand the fault code and said there was nothing they could do so they said they’d bring a portable AC unit. They came back shortly after with a tiny, I mean tiny desk plugin fan as they couldn’t find the AC unit. Unacceptable considering we paid almost €250 for the night for the room. If it wasn’t for the cleaning lady, who made it her business to insist BOTH rooms were moved to another floor with working AC. She was AMAZING. I really don’t recall her name but I think it was Anna - we stayed on Thursday 20th June so hotel management can identify her that way. Reception didn’t really seem interesting but Anna personally did. She arranged for the rooms to be moved and even carried our stuff between all the rooms too! She deserves a raise. Please pass the note to her manager.

Comfy stay, rooms were clean and spacious, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast spread was small but delicious. Hotel is in the vicinity of four supermarkets (Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and a polish place I can’t remember the name of but they had great bread) and ＜10min drive away from the north dock conference center which was convenient for my work trip.

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

My friends and I were all amazed by this very cosy hostel, with a nice staff, good breakfast, living room, nice showers, parking lot, for a good price. The room is in a former chapel with a beautiful Window. And rumor says a jacuzzi's coming! :)

Stayed here for 1 night. The room was fab and spacious and had a balcony. The only negative was the water fountain outside. The noise of it all evening and early morning wasnt too pleasant. We had a fab back, shoulder and neck massage and spent 30 mins in the sauna, steam room before it. I wouldnt recommend going here for the spa alone, would of liked an outdoor plunge pool. We had a main course as part of our package and it was lovely. We were notified early evening that our bedroom door was wide open and a member of staff closed it. When we went back up to our room at 9.20pm we found the door open again which was very strange. We notified staff who checked out the room . We were given no explanation as to what may have happened. We are still waiting on a phone call from the Manager, nearly a week later. Breakfast was lovely and fresh.

I recently stayed at Killashee Hotel following an event which recognised the work of charities, bringing my laptop along with me. During my stay, I plugged my charger into the bedside locker. After checking out on Sunday morning, I realised on Monday that I had accidentally left my charger behind. Upon contacting reception, I was informed that the charger was not found in my room. I have no doubt in my mind at all as to where I left this charger and it would have been impossible for cleaners to miss it. Despite this, the hotel refused to acknowledge the possibility of it being in the room and instead offered me a used replacement from their lost and found. The replacement was clearly burnt out and unusable, as confirmed by the image they sent me. This response was inadequate, and I had no choice but to purchase a new charger at a cost of €100. I am deeply frustrated by the hotel's handling of this situation and its lack of accountability, and having read previous reviews of items going missing I am surprised that there aren't improved Lost and Found practices in place. If you are staying in this hotel, do not leave valuables behind. The staff in general were pleasant, but this experience has left a sour taste. I would have expected much better outcome from a 4 star hotel.
