This was a grand hotel at one time, but has become a victim of time and deferred maintenance. My…read moreroom was unclean, the mattress was stained with only a thin sheet over it, and there was mold in the shower. The grounds are amazing and that's justification for receiving 2 stars.

We recently stayed at The Talbot Hotel in Stillorgan on a recent trip to the Dublin area. The hotel…read moreis a bit further from city center Dublin than anticipated, but access to public transportation made it fairly easy to make the trek back and forth. The hotel is a mix of old and new throughout, however I will say that the rooms were more on the modern side, which was nice. We had a king bed room, and while it is small compared to US rooms, there was plenty of space for two folks, including luggage and room to get around. The bed was comfortable, the temperature controls were a nice touch and the bathroom was sleek and functional. The hotel has two outlets, both restaurants/bars. One was better than the other, and we frequented it a bit more during our stay. Parking is plentiful and complimentary as a guest. We parked upon arrival and did not move our car until we checked out. There is a bus stop directly across the street, so we exchanged paper for coins at the front desk, and took the bus to and from city center multiple times. It is about a 20 - 25 minute ride each way. Service at the desk was hit and miss, with some Front Desk Associates being quite a bit more helpful and friendly than others. The hotel is clean and in good shape for the most part. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.

If this is your stay for traveling in Dublin, the bus stops less than a block from the hotel, and for only two euros, you can be in downtown Dublin in less than 15 minutes.

This hotel is located in a business district with few dining options. Consequently, the eateries in this hotel were well frequented. The menus had a very good variety. Although there was no microwave, facial tissue or mini-fridge in the hotel room, there was a Bible, safe and a hairdryer. The hair dryer is located in the dresser drawer. The multiple elevators (lifts) moved quickly, which was quite convenient. Our room was spacious with its one double bed and one twin bed. There was a comfy chair and table. Notably, there were no small washcloths available. Instead only medium and large bath towels are available. Also, you have to step higher than usual to enter the full tub/shower combo. Be careful and lift those knees high!

The place is beautiful but the service is lacking. There are different banks of elevators one of…read morewhich is super hidden and the staff apparently thinks it is absolutely hilarious to not share this information with people as they check in. Someone else even mentioned it in their review. We were assigned a room on the third floor and took the only elevators we saw to the third floor and our room was nowhere in sight. We went back to the front desk and there were many frustrated customers dealing with the same issue. Whyyyyyyh would you not tell someone where to go when they check in? I honestly think that it is because it is a little fun joke amongst the staff members. There are no USB plugs in the room, there are no outlets in the bathroom or near the bed, and the place is not clean. If this joke amongst staff members were abolished and the above mentioned items were addressed, this would be an ok place to stay. On the other hand, the buffet breakfast was out of this world amazing. Hence, the two stars. 5 stars for the breakfast!

Things we didn't like: there is a pub down stairs that stays open very late in the evening. You can hear the club music all through the room. One night we were kept awake until 2:00AM because of the noise. It just so happened that on this same night, the boiler went out so we had no heat and no hot water to take a shower. I would possibly consider staying here again in the future if I could get a room away from the pub.

I had a great stay at the Radisson Blu for a night this July…read more This hotel was walking distance, less than 10 minutes away from the bus stop that we had taken from the airport. It is in a convenient location nearby many tourist attractions, such as Temple Bar, Dublin's castle, St Patrick's Cathedral, etc. it was also a short walking distance to our car rental pick up at St Stephen's Green shopping centre. We booked this hotel for the first day of our trip. We arrived in the morning so our room wasn't ready for check in yet, but we were able to drop off our luggage in the lobby. This made it easy for us as we could continue exploring according to our plan (we took a 30 minute train ride over to Howth right after dropping our bags). Coming back to the hotel around 5pm, our room was ready and we were able to nap a bit before dinner. The superior room we booked was located in a renovated section of the hotel and had access to a shared outdoor patio right across from our hotel room. We didn't have time to use the patio but it was spacious and it seemed no one was using it whenever we passed by. Our hotel room was very clean, large (great for us as we had plenty of luggage) and we had two complementary water bottles in the room. We had breakfast the next morning and it was buffet style. There is a section if you want fresh made omelettes. Lots of variety I think but I stuck with the classic Irish breakfast items. So delicious and fresh! Check out process - we had a bit of a hiccup as I had given my credit card for authorization for breakfast charges when I checked in. The staff was asking for my credit card again which confused me as I had already paid. Despite the confusion, the service at Radisson was great and I would definitely recommend this hotel for fellow tourists!

It is said that, due to the architectural structure of the road facing side, a person can scale the outer walls with relative ease. Reaching the roof in under a half hour having hardly broken a sweat. It seems to me, that everyone knows someone who's mate did it. Like all urban myths. Make up your own minds, I personally know it's possible. I have a mate who knows a guy who did it.
