“The Samuel's location strikes me as a real asset, especially for those catching a show at the 3Arena or exploring the Docklands; plus, the Luas stop right outside connects you to the city center effortlessly. I appreciate the hotel's modern design and the reported comfort of the King Koil beds-always a plus after a long day, and the bar seems like a nice spot for a nightcap. It would be my choice for a Dublin city stay.”

The location made getting around REALLY easy. A bus stop sat just outside the door. I found a wide selection at breakfast. The buffet included both hot and cold choices. The staff seemed genuinely friendly and eager to assist guests.

My room was a bit too warm, even after adjusting the thermostat.

i stayed near the luas lines. it was just outside the door (very handy, i must say). breakfast offered plenty of gluten free options. the room was modern and comfortable.

the bar was not well-stocked. it ran out of coors and guinness early in the evening. some menu items were unavailable at the restaurant. i was told there would be a 10 minute wait even with plenty of empty tables, but it turned into 40 minutes.
