Very good

I would definitely return to Buswells again. The location is outstanding, and the staff and amenities were excellent. A very nice and filling breakfast is available on site, as well as a lively pub/restaurant. My visit was in early July, and my room did not have AC. For some reason my radiator, though turned off, was always slightly warm to the touch. My room was a bit warm, but a fan was provided which helped greatly. If you can tolerate no AC in the warm weather, this is a wonderful and unique hotel.

Buswells Hotel is an amazing place to stay when in Dublin. The staff was wonderful, and the charm of the hotel was a reminder of my childhood. Ger was a wonderful concierge that was wonderfully witty and charming. I left my wallet in the taxi that took us to the airport and Ella Murtagh was more than helpful in ensuring its return to Buswells and then sent out via AN Post. You cannot get that kind of service like Ger and Ella provided anywhere else that we have traveled. My family and I put Buswells Hotel on our must return to. We have also recommended it to friends who are planning travel to Dublin. My gratitude for the staff runs deep. Thank you.

Buswell's is our favorite Dublin Hotel. The staff is really great! So why is it our favorite. First the location is fantastic, giving you walking access to the museums right across Kildare Street, Shopping and the fun of Grafton Street and Temple Bar. The hotel is a throw back to a more aristocratic Dublin. Yes the rooms are small and they don't have air conditioning, but that is normally not needed in Dublin. But for the excitement of Dublin Center City, and easy access to so much of what the city offers, nothing beats Buswells.

We've stayed at Buswells 8 years ago and loved the area so we came back. It's a hotel with a lot of charm and the service is excellent. We had a car so we parked in the garage they have a relationship with. It was convenient but ai little tricky to figure out payment. You must get there validation each time you go in and out. I think the validation is for a 24-hour period. I'm not sure if you left your car for longer you still get a discount. No one at the hotel could explain it well. But, in the end, after I saw the credit card charges I think it was correct. It is a great place to stay is you want to be close to the museums, Trinity College and Grafton Street. The food and drinks in the hotel restaurant and bar are wonderful, too, but there are so many good paces to eat in the neighborhood.

I booked 5 nights at Buswells and it exceeded my expectations. So many pleasant surprises! Visiting from California, it was our first visit to Ireland. I did a ton of online and AI research and this hotel came up consistently as being in a good location and has excellent reviews. From Paddy the dutiful concierge, to the front desk team and the restaurant staff - we were very well cared for and enjoyed getting to know them. Our rooms were clean and had some charming touches. Small, but well kept. Located in a quiet part of Dublin, it was easy walking to all the usual places to visit. We'll book again when we return for another visit someday!

What a delight! We really appreciated the easy access to public transit. Staying near St. Stephen's Green gave a us a beautiful place to walk, and we were right in the middle of Dublin. Paddy and the rest of the team made us feel welcome and helped us find nice places for coffee and dinner. The room was comfortable, and Jon loved the shortbread cookies in the breakfast tray. We brought two friends with us, and I'm so glad that Buswells was their first taste of Irish hospitality. We'll be back!

Have traveled all over Europe and this was the best hotel I have ever experienced! Staff was top notch. Breakfast and food service was the best. Would not consider any other hotel for a future visit.

Pleasant

Buswells is in a fabulous location.easy walking to restaurants and museums etc.. the hotel is a lovely old building. It feels spacious and friendly. The staff were welcoming etc. If however u have dietary needs they are still learning be very careful to check.. Probably due to the historical importance of the building they have been unable to make adjustments eg the windows are single-glazed. It may be very cold in colder months.

Myself and my partner have stayed at Buswells twice now. On both occasions the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Rooms are immaculate and comfortable. The Bar is also lovely and bar staff are polite and helpful. I will choose this hotel again when staying in Dublin.

Very good

It's a lovely hotel, conveniently located and relatively quite area. However, consideration should be noted during warmer weather, there is no airconditioning and while fans are provided, there is little air circulation. Leaving the window open doesn't help much with air circulation and increasing the noice from outside. If you have difficulty sleeping, please note. While I also was surprised not to have any cream rinse or lotion in the rooms, the hotel common areas are comfortable and charming. The bartender makes the best Irish Coffee I've ever had! A must try :-)
