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.

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 :-)

The hotel was so charming and well within walking distance of shops, pubs and museums. There was a heat wave and no a/c in the hotel and the inside temperature was very pleasant. The deep bathtub was very luxurious. Every hotel worker went above just being helpful and professional. They treated each hotel guest so warmly - just like family. When i had an unexpected last minute flight change, they helped arrange a taxi at 3 am. It was so nice to not have to worry about all the details. In all of the hotels we stayed in throughout our European travels, this one stood out as the best. We hope to come back again soon!

The staff at Buswell’s is exemplary. This historic hotel sits in the middle of Dublin making walking and exploring very easy. The restaurant and bar are quaint, quiet and very inviting. If we get another chance to visit Dublin we would definitely book with Boswell.

This is lovely gem on a quiet street but very short walking distance to Trinity, St Stephen Green, Grafton St, etc. Convenient to public transportation. Friendly, helpful, welcoming staff! It was a perfect base for our stay in Dublin!

I enjoyed my stay for three nights at Buswells Hotel. I was on a business trip to the Dublin area and wanted a hotel that was convenient to the city center and had convenient parking. Buswells Hotel met these requirements and surpassed them. The location is excellent and is within easy walking distance of the St Stephens Green area, Grafton St, and the Luas line. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. My room was comfortable and quiet. I would stay at Buswells Hotel again.
