Very good

Room was overheated when we arrived, we had to open the windows to let the heat out and turn off the radiators. We say this to be constructive: we found the room rather drop in colouring, the black-and-white photos should be replaced with attractive, colourful paintings. The lights were incredibly dim., it was very difficult to read. The bed was really comfortable.. Breakfast: the pancakes were not good, the staff seemed overworked despite the lack of customers. It would be nice if the breakfast room had Windows.. Reception: the staff were nice and business like. We ordered a glass of wine at the bar, and found ourselves paying €13 for it…… a bit pricey. The bar is very nice otherwise. Overall, it’s a very nice hotel,, I like that it is old-fashioned, it makes it feel very genuine.

Lovely staff and very reasonable price. No hot water in the morning and paid €25 for a very poor standard breakfast, both quality of cooking and portion size.

Perfect stay - location is great, staff are welcoming, friendly and so helpful. Room comfortable and quiet. I enjoyed the traditional room door key! Have already recommended to two colleagues who have stayed in the week since I stayed so cannot recommend any higher than that.

Room was lovely & clean, however the headboards would need attention/update - it was evident from when we entered the headboards are looking tired & worn. Also not all people can sleep on feather pillows, maybe 2 different pillows would be a better choice. Otherwise we had a lovely stay & the food was outstanding. Can not fault the service and the welcome we got.

Lovely staff friendly, polite and helpful from reception, bar staff, doorman and cleaning staff. Keep up the good work Buswells, I'll be back!

I love staying at Buswells when I come to Dublin. The service is always friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location and has a lovely old Dublin feel to it - while still having all modern comforts and conveniences. The lobby area and the bar are also delightful to spend time in. Especially if you're into people watching. But mostly, I like Buswells because of their attention to guests needs and how you're made to feel welcome. I now consider Buswells my home away from home when I'm in Dublin and I look forward to my next visit.

Great location, the staff was wonderful, the restaurant was very good, and given the age of the hotel from the 1800s, the room/floor layout was a bit unusual but the accommodations up to date and well maintained. I would recommend to stay here for others.
