Dublin Citi Hotel

Pleasant reception staff, decent breakfast from downstairs bar, clean room, location is a blessing and a curse- close to surrounds but noise level was awful, particularly as the week progressed towards the weekend. We had a street facing room and despite the ear plugs provided in the room being a nice gesture, it did not nearly break the bellowing singing/ music from the bar downstairs. I am unsure whether the hotel itself has any influence on this (given the bar is connected to the hotel) but as the hotel is aware of the noise levels, hence ear plugs being provided in the room and the previous reviews, the windows are so poorly noise-proofed that it sounds as though they are left open which made it very difficult to fall/ stay asleep and I feel like this is something that the hotel is at fault of. Therefore, this is something to be well aware of when booking at this hotel.

Great location. You can walk almost anywhere from here. The restaurant next door is also great Service was always helpful. All the desk clerks were always nice and eager to help. Rooms are very small. Which makes sense for city hotels. It's noisy since there is live music in the bar next door but not too bad. The shower pressure was great. Would probably stay there again.

Just returned from a 2 night stay at this wonderful hotel. The staff make this hotel.. every single member of staff are just lovely and friendly and this includes Trinity Bar next door. We come to Dublin every year, first time staying at the hotel and it was great.|Centrally located so its very convenient, the rooms are a little dated but they are so clean. Great facilities, there is tea and coffee and toiletries, we had everything we needed. The beds are comfy and I slept well. Yes the hotel is on main road and is noisy due to the main road but with ear plugs you will be fine. I was lucky to have a lovely room at the back on 3rd floor which was quieter. |Its a great hotel with amazing staff and i wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.|Big shout out to the staff in Trinity Bar, this is my local away from home :-) love it.

The hotel is a bit old, but the service and atmosphere are excellent. It makes up for all the shortcomings. The location of the hotel is great, close to all the attractions. We also recommend the kitchen, excellent steaks and other dishes to choose from. And Trinity Pub is the best pub in the Temple district. We would like to thank all the employees for their daily smiles and readiness to help. We will definitely come back to you.

Clean room but a bit small. Overall we were very comfortable but it would be better to do some maintenance work (tiles, windows). Good central location. Breakfast good. Meals on the whole also good, prices expensive but so is all of Dublin. Recommended!

strict warning about this hotel! I'm still in shock. Today there is a dark red storm warning from the government, which is in effect until 12 noon. the check-out time at the hotel is 11 a.m. when I asked if it was possible to check out an hour later, I was told no. I didn't expect such irresponsibility. I'm standing in a ghost town, no public transport is running, no shops are open. not a soul is on the street. I will never go to this hotel again.

I'd requested the quietest room possible when booked and was given a room 2 stories above the main street with old windows. Result: Very loud at night from traffic, revelers and very amplified music until very late. They actually give ear plugs in the room, next to the kettle, but they were useless. Fitting two people's luggage took a bit of time to figure out. As expected, there's no a/c as hot days are rare, but opening the window means more noise. |The location is good for the Temple Bar neighborhood, busses, the castle and more. It has a good bar with reasonable prices and the food, especially breakfast included is pretty good. The bathroom was almost as large as the sleeping area and the shower/tub worked well, be careful climbing in and out. Everyone working at the front and restaurant/pub were very nice. |Bottom line: old, small, noisy rooms but service is good.

The hotel was exactly what we expected. We got a room with 2 twin beds that were hard, but clean. We had such an amazing view, and as others say, it is a but noisy at night, but it is street noise. The area is so convenient. That was my absolute favorite thing about the hotel. We were never more than a short walk away from anything we wanted to see. The price was very reasonable, and it included breakfast. There is a great bar and restaurant attached to the lobby. Overall, very worth the money, just know it isn't a fancy hotel, but it makes up in convenience and value. I'd definitely stay here again

It's prehistoric and just not nearly worth what they charge! No elevator and extremely steep stairs, so if you're older or even the slightest bit handicapped don't, you won't like it. The room is sooooo small... "how small is it" you may ask. I had to get in the shower sideways while sucking in my gut. If you're 5'10" or above with even a slight paunch, you'll barely fit into the shower. It's literally the smallest hotel room I've ever seen, and I've stayed in some pretty questionable digs in the Czech Republic before... No fridge, no microwave, no nothing really. And again, it's just located in such a loud party zone. Even if your sole purpose is to party? I can't see you choosing this place for the price.

Hotel is located in the busy Temple bar district/neighborhood. Hotel is connected to the Trinity Bar. You can hear all of the street noise until around 0400 hours. The hotel gives you earplugs. I would only use this hotel for sleeping and nothing more. Hotel has tiny rooms with no amenities. Bathroom attached to the room was cramped and tiny. The shower was a tiny cube where two doors came together to close. If you are a larger sized individual or have any mobility issue this place is not for you, as it'd be near impossible to use the shower.

Bed bugs!!!!! I know that Ireland uses Trip Advisor more for things but since we could not load the bed bug pics there I am writing another review here. This hotel is not what they advertise, it's old, dirty, smells and had bed bugs. The staff is very nice but did not make up for the fact that my friend was attacked by bed bugs. We were given free breakfast for the room not looking anything like the pics online, we were also reimbursed for the night we did not stay in this dump however we should have been reimbursed for this whole unbearable stay!!!!!!

I would give it 5 starts, but hotels are NOT a universal language. Some people can't handle small rooms... Some people don't like old buildings... Some people don't like outdated decor... I can stay at the Four Seasons and appreciate a beautifully maintained and decorated room, but I can also appreciate old world architecture, in a really convenient location, with amazing staff, and everything I need to sleep, bathe, and survive for a few days. Free wifi, a tub, an electric pot, and a clean room, close to all the nightlife and attractions, yet not too loud at night, (or maybe I was just drunk?) and easy to get to with public transportation. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in town.

I visited the hotel bar and paid with a Visa credit card. They charged me in US dollars instead of Euros, applying a 3.50% mark-up -- all without telling me beforehand or offering me a choice! My credit card company does not charge me any foreign transaction fees. I gain absolutely no benefit from this "dynamic currency conversion" -- it only serves to enrich the merchant with their hidden 3.50% fee. Visa's merchant guidelines require merchants to disclose their dynamic currency conversion practices and obtain the customer's permission beforehand. I reached out to the hotel and they refused to give me a refund of their 3.50% markup. This is a total scam.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. A hostel would be far better. room tiny, noise was outrageous all night, bed extremely uncomfortable, tv had 2 channels. shower was terrible. all in all a very bad ran hotel.

So my friend and I booked this hotel thinking that it was better then the one we booked, boy were we wrong! First of all it was old as dirt but we chose it because it it was in the middle of the city. We were compt'd free breakfast because the place was DIRTY but that wasn't the worst part. They offered us a different room but that one was just as small and dirty so we didn't want to bother lugging our stuff after a very stressful trip from London. When I woke up the very next day, I noticed bug bites on me while walking around Dublin. I ignored it at first but then got the hitch that something was not adding up! What kind of mosquito would bite me that many times especially in my lower back and feet when I had not been wearing sandals? So I went back to the room hoping that it was just my imagination. Long story short, it wasn't! I lifted my sheets to find a bed bug relaxing on my bed!!!! After coming from a very nice 4 star hotel in London and waking up with no bites at check out, I knew that it was from this bed. I was mortified. I googled "bedbug" and there it was, the same exact pest I saw laying in my bed. The receptionist, Amid, was VERY apologetic but even he refused to look at the photos. How do you think I felt having to lay with them? We took a shower and got out as quickly as possible. We asked the manager call us right away because at this point I was covered in bites and we wanted our money back. The manager Daniel contacted me the next day and was very apologetic after confirming a dead bed bug was indeed in the bed. But what he reported next was almost impossible. He said that he had pest control come out (it was about 8:30-9:00am at this time) who that yes that was a bed bug but there were no more. First of all, how did he get pest control to come out so quickly when he wanted to hear nothing of it the night it was discovered and secondly, since when do bed bugs travel solo. I mean please, they lay 10 eggs a day, each!!!! Long story short, Daniel did refund us the money for the night we discovered it and left but didn't give us the money back for the day that the damn things were actually biting me and sucking the life out of me!!! On top of that, we had to pay for a taxi to another hotel(clean Hilton) and then another to the airport. I gave Daniel the opportunity to think long and hard about his decision NOT to refund us the money as I warned that I would let potential customers know about his disgusting bed bug infestation instead of allowing him and his team to treat the issue not only in room 305 but in the ENTIRE building. He obviously wasn't concerned after even confirming that there were bed bugs and that I had taken pictures of my bites and the bed bug itself. My next steps are to contact Ireland's health department and to spread the news of this infestation wherever I'm allowed. This is disgraceful. I had to spend my last day in Ireland scratching these embarrassing bites and brainstorming how I would prevent these pest from coming with me to the States and plaguing my own home. I say this to say, DO NOT stay here. There are other hotels that are in the area that you can stay that are not infested with bed bugs. We stayed at nice hotels during our 1-2 week stay and did not have to deal with the this. I'm not a vindictive person but management clearly does not care about the well being of their customers or the fact that they can bring the pest home. There's not amount of money that is worth compromising someone's health or well being!!! I will post pictures, I cannot make this up. Besides the bed bugs, the hotel is very centrally located however it is very loud and someone was stretched out right in front with police and ambulances surrounding the guy. Do not expect to sleep!!! You've been warned!

The best part about Citi Hotel was the location. Right down town in the middle of the action. The price is a bit steep, but I guess it's what you get if you want to stay in this location. We didn't have breakfast so I can't speak to that, but our room was clean. And there was a full shower/bathtub which is a plus. The street can be a bit loud which doesn't bother us, but just something be aware of. Th front desk staff were nice enough, but there was no one around when we wants to check out. It was at 6 am, but we had a bus to catch to the airport. I wouldn't entirely be opposed to staying here again, but would probably research other options as well.

City centre hotel with three bars and a nightclub in Dublin. Ideal if you're visiting Dublin to party, because even with double glazing, the three bars, the nightclub, and the location on the edge of Temple Bar means that this isn't a quiet hotel. Having said that, the upstairs lounge bar is ideal to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon on a sofa with a hair of the dog or a cup of tea and the papers recovering from a Saturday night. Ideally located for the nightlife in Temple Bar and the tourist sights during the day. The room we had was small and basic, and like all of Dublin it's definitely not cheap, but we'd happily stay here again.

I'd give it no stars if I could, but my voice must be heard. Most expensive place we stayed during our trip, and by far the worst. The view is nice and it looks like a decent place once you find it, but don't be fooled. It seemed like a joke that so many things could go wrong in 2 days. We had 2 rooms, both terrible so it wasn't just unique to one. 3 provided blow dryers started sparking when being used and burned out. The wifi went out every few seconds. The shower took almost 10 minutes to heat up and the nozzle came loose and spread water around the bathroom. The tub itself was small and uncomfortable to stand in. The toilet paper felt like sand paper. The bed was stained and there was a big black beetle crawling under the sheets. The power outlets blew out and wouldn't work anymore. The lights were flickering and went out (in the middle of my shower, of course). The big bed was 2 little ones pushed together. I've never had such a bad experience anywhere before, and the front desk really didn't care. The fact that it costs so much is really the extra kick in the ass... Awful.
