We’ve stayed at The Schoolhouse frequently when visiting Ireland, and it continues to impress. It’s very convenient to reach and offers private parking for residents, spaces are limited, but it’s a great perk. The hotel itself is truly unique: a beautifully restored schoolhouse steeped in history, something you can feel in the very walls. The atmosphere is warm and cosy, with stunning interiors that preserve many of the building’s original features.||We always receive a warm welcome at reception, and the location is fantastic, just a short walk to Merrion Square. Evening strolls along the Royal Canal across the road are also lovely. It’s an ideal base for attending nearby concert venues.||Food in the restaurant is excellent, and breakfast is consistently great. We’ve enjoyed many cosy, firelit evenings in the bar. The only downside is that some staff in the bar and restaurant can occasionally seem a little disinterested. During winter stays, we’ve also had minor issues with the in-room heating, though reception provided additional mobile heaters and resolved it quickly.||Despite these small drawbacks, we’ve stayed here more than ten times, and it keeps drawing us back. The Schoolhouse is a truly unique and charming place to stay in Dublin.
