The Mont Hotel

During our 3 night stay, we encountered front desk staff, housekeeping, wait staff at breakfast and at the bar along with the food and beverage manager, Sabrina and all were so welcoming and accommodating!!! Our luggage arrived late from the airport, and they kindly took our luggage up to our room. It was so nice to have it there waiting for us after a long day of sightseeing. The breakfast was OUTSTANDING, the rooms were impeccably clean, the beds were so very comfortable and the in room coffee was a wonderful treat each morning. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely book another stay here.

What an amazing customer service experience from beginning to end!|Thanks to Karen, Steve, and Eduardo at the front desk for my first stay! I was treated as a “guest of honour”! I then met Julianna, Stanislav and Stephane in The Sin Bin for amazing cocktails. The next morning Stephane was incredible at the breakfast buffet!!|My next stay with a travel friend we again received a lovely box of chocolates and a great guest suite. The team welcomed me back with open arms and I met William in The Sin Bin and Zion at the front desk. They are so amazing. The welcome back from Karen, Steve, Julianna, Stanislav, and Stephane made me feel like long lost friends. |You will be thrilled by the service!!|Cheers to the team!!

Absolutely loved our stay at the Mont. Rooms were cozy and beds SO comfortable (really appreciated the blackout curtains in coping with jet lag). Diego at the front desk and Stephanie at breakfast were just above and beyond; incredibly lovely people who made our stay perfect. Every person we interacted with was so nice and responsive. Would not hesitate to stay here again; the location was perfect and the breakfast was excellent.

Wonderful stay for our three nights in Dublin. The breakfast is delicious, beds are very comfortable. The location was perfect for walking around the city. My only issue with the room was no outlets in the bathroom aside from a special shaver outlet. I had to pull my nightstand to a mirror in the room to place my hair appliances and be able to do my hair. Other than that, the room was wonderful.

Comfortable clean hotel, had a “cosy” double which was quite adequate for a short stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good breakfast although choices were a bit limited. Location is excellent for main attractions. Good pubs nearby for food and entertainment. Would def stay here again.

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at The Mont. The staff was amazing. Diego and Laura at the front desk were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was great as there was so much within walking distance. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the Mont for our honeymoon and had an amazing experience. The room was spacious, very clean and very well decorated. The beds were honestly the most comfortable we have ever slept in!! They had given us chocolates and a lovely handwritten note to welcome us and congratulate us on our wedding, as well as a complimentary drink at their bar downstairs - drinks and atmosphere there was fab! All of the staff we met were really lovely and welcoming. The location is perfect as you are walking distance to everything . The nearby private parking was also a plus - not many hotels in Dublin city centre offer this! We honestly could not fault this hotel in any way, and can't wait to return in the future!

The staff sets this place apart! Lovely clean rooms. Breakfast is extra but well worth it. Diego is a gem. He’s proactively helpful and charming as well. He went above and beyond to make us feel special. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Mont.

We have stayed here twice, once upon arriving in Dublin then again on leaving Ireland. Both times the staff was incredulous in directing us to places. Getting us Hop On/Hop Off tickets and taxis. We had the same room both times and found it comfortable and a great place to relax. The breakfasts are served in the Cafe and it's a buffet breakfast although you can order from the menu. We ate at the buffet the times we were there as the selection was good. Scrambled eggs, fried eggs(our first stay), sausages slab bacon, sometimes streaky bacon, hash browns, black/white pudding, selection of muffins, breads, croissants and pretty much any kind of juice and smoothies you could want. Also there was a charcuterie board with meats and cheeses and fresh fruits. Beverages ranged from tea and coffee to soft drinks. All in all a pleasant stay and if we come back to Dublin we would reconsider this hotel.

After returning to Dublin for one last night before my flight out, I decided to stay at The Mont. It's a 4-star hotel so the prices reflect that (hence why I only stayed one night) but it was by far the nicest hotel I stayed at during my 10 days in Ireland. The location is very close to many museums, Trinity College, and lots of luxury shopping, and pubs. A lot of the restaurants on my list were a little further west so the walk from The Mont was a longer than I would have prefered (20-25 minute walk compared to the 5-10 minute walk at the other hotel I stayed at in Dublin before). However, whatever The Mont lacked in proximity it made up for in accommodations. The room was a little on the smaller side but totally comfortable for a few nights for one or two people. The room had an incredibly comfortable bed with four nice pillows, a thick comforter, and an extra throw blanket. Every other hotel I stayed at in Ireland only had two pillows and thin comforters with springy mattresses but this bed was sooo comfortable. I could have stayed in it all day. And if hotel TV is something you like to indulge in like me, there were a few good channels including some US shows. The closet area had a rack with hangers, slots for shoes, drawers, a spot to put your luggage, and a safe. There was even a mini fridge with free waters and milk for coffee. They also had a nespresso machine! Loved seeing this in my room after having only kettles and instant coffee at all the other hotels I stayed. The bathroom had great lighting and an incredible full size shower with a rainforest head, handheld shower head, and a full size shower curtain. It felt sooo luxurious compared to the other hotels with very European showers that only had half glass doors. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others depending on what spots are on their list while in Dublin.

Just WOW! Such an incredible stay here at The Mont Hotel in Dublin. I wasn't sure what to expect after looking at the Yelp reviews, but I can say this was one of the best hotel stays I've had in a LONG time. It's cozy but gives a luxurious feel. A well-deserved 5 stars. After staying at a lesser quality hotel for 4 nights, I was pleasantly surprised with the entire experience from start to finish at The Mont. The reception staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and gave me some great restaurant recommendations. They also helped to deliver my bags straight to my room and bumped me up to the suite for free. This was much appreciated since I was here for 4 nights and using some of that time to work remotely. If you're staying here, you'll have access to the gym, and can dine at the Sin Bin or Speranza restaurant. I had lunch at the Sin Bin as well as a nightcap on another evening. Really enjoyed the vibe. The room itself was top tier. Working from here was a pleasure. They had a dedicated desk space, nice views, and a Nespresso machine to keep me fueled up. The bed in the suite was huge and super comfy. The bathrooms were spacious and the products like shampoo and body lotion smelled amazing. The one thing I noticed was that they didn't provide conditioner, but I had my own. Not a major inconvenience at all. The cleaning staff did a great job of refreshing towels and bath products daily. It was so nice to come back to the room without worrying about calling the front desk for basics. They really did not overlook a single detail. The Mont is conveniently located by a ton of great pubs, coffee shops, museums, etc. It was wonderful to be steps away from the action. I could not be happier with my stay. If I'm ever back in Dublin, I will 100% book The Mont. It was worth every penny.

I came here to leave a review after a lovely stay and was shocked to see so many negative ones. I stayed here with several colleagues last week and we all enjoyed our stays tremendously. The rooms were large and clean, the showers had piping hot water and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I ate at the restaurant downstairs twice. It's mostly bar food but the staff offered to whip up something lighter that's off the menu. It is located in an older building so some of the hallways are smaller than large hotels in Europe or the US, but we thought that was part of its charm. It's been nicely renovated and I look forward to visiting again.

vitamin juice (tasty), yogurt and a dessert. On another day, my wife and I were at the breakfast buffet and decided to make a sandwich since we had to leave to another day trip tour. A staff member noticed and asked if we would like a box and bag. I know this is a little detail but I was very impressed with how attentive the staff was. We were also asked if we wanted a to-go beverage. The expresso we received had a heart drawn in the froth. Again, a small detail, but those little details matter a lot. The breakfast buffet had a very nice assortment of food options. Fresh scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, cheeses, breads and breakfast pastries, all laid out beautifully. Another little detail was the fresh juices. There was a yogurt tasting juice/smoothie and an orange/vegetable blended juice served in little bottles with straws (cute). Lastly, coffee did not come from a machine, it came from a barista as they have a full blown café in the breakfast area. On our first day we asked for coffee; we were brought a fancy coffee pot and cups. I felt like we were getting tea service. On other days, my wife and I would opt for espresso or lattes. They are all served in fancy cups with a little froth heart. Breakfast and service was at 10 out of 10 I would not hesitate to stay at The Mint if we return to Ireland.

wanted to write a special note about a girl SABRINA (from Belgium) who works at the desk. We were trying to get a taxi to go to a show and it was impossible. none were available and I could not walk having just had knee surgery. Sabrina came outside with us , got on her phone and called and called taxi's, Ubers, friends until she succeeded in getting us a ride. She spent over 20 minutes outside with us . We are so grateful to her for salvaging our last evening in Dublin. There was a work ethic and initiative she showed in what she did. you can't teach that.

We received an apology and a refund a few weeks after getting back from our trip. We appreciated the conversation and the understanding.

Great hotel, nice staff, and an ideal location -- full access to the rowdy/fun parts of Dublin without being stuck when it's time to rest. I would stay here again.

This hotel is just okay. The elevator is small. Everything is small. But I'm American, and I guess we are just used to big. Here are the things preventing it from being a five star: The housekeeper opened our window a crack to let some air in, which is okay, I suppose, if she intended to come back and close it soon, but when we came back in the early evening, it was quite cold in the room. The restaurant: We dined in two nights. The risotto I had the first night was AMAZING. The soup I had that evening was also quite good. The second night, the only vegetarian option on the prix fixe menu offered to our group was a potato dumpling. It was Good Friday... so having another meatless option would have been a good idea. The potato dumpling was straight up awful. It was like eating play doh. Just gross. The tub was very small and uncomfortable to bathe in. The hot water comes out of one tap and the cold water another (although they are within the same spigot, which is strange), but having them on separate sides and not blended before coming out of the faucet meant that you really couldn't tell what temperature the water was at all. My roommate took a shower and found that she could never really get the temperature right. I opted for a bath in hopes it would be better, but alas, couldn't really get a hot bath somehow unless I wanted to scorch myself. On the plus side, the bed was very comfortable, and the location was great. The front desk staff were gracious and pleasant.

My cousin and I stayed for 1 night at The Mont and it was the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. A hotel is supposed to offer two things at a bare minimum - a place to sleep and safety. We got neither. We were woken up at 2am with a man slamming his body against our door trying to break in (I guess he was drunk and forgot his room number). There is a small peep hole in the door to look out. He told him to go away and he ran off. We tried calling the front desk and no one answered. 5 minutes later the man returned WITH someone from the hotel. The hotel person was about to let him into our room (the bright orange key cards are hard to miss). We screamed at them both to go away and they ran off again. We barricaded ourselves in our room with our luggage against the door and didn't get any sleep at all. We spoke to the manager in the morning and told him that they needed a serious guest safety training and that they should never bring a stranger to a guest's room who is not registered to the room. They offered us a 25% discount on our next stay... NO WAY WILL WE EVER BE STAYING HERE AGAIN. They also have not returned our emails asking for resolution. Totally unacceptable on all levels.

Ok, I get some of the hotels are older and will not be the most updated spots. I just feel the hotel could of been better. Positives are the staff is very friendly here and is willing to answer any questions. The hotel is also located in a great spot in Dublin. You are blocks away from great restaurants, shops, and pubs. You can also catch the hop on hop off bus right across the street. The issues are that the rooms are a bit tiny. I would have not much issues with that if the rooms were fixed up and made to look clean. There were cracks in the walls and ceilings, which made me feel a bit nervous. The bath tub had hard water stains in the tiles which made the tub look filthy. It was also tricky to get the tub at the right temperature. I either get it scalding hot or frigid. It took some time to get it right. It's great it is in a central area, but rooms need to be cleaned and repaired better.

I stayed here with my girlfriend for 3 days last month while we were visiting Dublin. We arrived at the hotel around 10 AM and tried to get them to hold our luggage for us until later whenever we could check-in. They were actually able to accommodate us then and got us a room which I was very happy. Our room here was decent sized, clean and had a nice bathroom to boot. The lobby and dining room were also nice with the only thing really needing an update being the hallways. Where I thought the hotel really shined was with their full Irish breakfast that was served buffet style. There was a great food selection including pastries, cereals, sausage, bacon, egg, sautéed mushrooms and tomatoes, all of which was good. My only complaint with the hotel is that I only got a half an hour of wifi time for free whenever I could have used more. The bottom line for me is that I would stay here again in the future if I visit Dublin. Everything about the place was nice and clean and its location near Trinity College is nice as well.

SHOULD BE A ZERO!!! We booked a room for three nights on March 15-18 2020, that were non-refundable. However, two days before we were supposed to leave on our vacation, the US president banned travel from Europe. I work at a hospital and have had potential exposure to Covid-19. We did not want to cancel our trip that we have been planning for 9 months, but with the ban and potential exposure we thought it was in the best interest of everyone that we don't go. We could not risk getting stuck quarantined in a foreign county and potentially exposing others. Although, this was a very upsetting reality, we really had no choice. Two days after we had to needed to cancel the trip for obvious reasons, the ban became even more strict and there would have been no way we would have made it home without be quarantined. This pandemic has caused so many unexpected issues that we all are forced to deal with. Professional sports, performing arts, national events, school closures and life as we know it, has been cancelled. Most of these events that have been cancelled, have assured refunds to their customers. However, the Le Monde Hotel refuses to give us a refund. We tried to explain the situation is out of our control, as the entire world is aware of. I understand in normal situation that there would be no refund, but considering the circumstances, are you kidding. I have another trip booked with Interval International and they are allowing cancellations with no penalties (which of course is not the regular policy), but we have a pandemic happening. However, they understand the problem this virus has caused the entire world and the don't want to screw their customers like The Mont Hotel does. The Mont Hotel does not care if you put their employees or their customers at risk, they just want to keep your money at all cost. When I rebook my trip, I would never stay at this insensitive and money hungry hotel. I would recommend you think of how this hotel does business before you book a room at this hotel. Most companies are trying make a bad situation a little more bearable, but The Mont Hotel is making a bad situation worse by keeping the money we spent for our room, when we don't have a choice in this matter. If we continued with our booking we may never get back home, at least for an extended amount of time. We all have jobs to get back to and can't get stuck in a foreign country. We had booked nine hotels on this trip that were non-refundable and we were able to cancel all of them with no penalties, because they understand the degree of this situation and our concerned about their customers and their community. Several countries are isolated and/or closing their borders. In the US, it is complete chaos, there is no food on the shelves, no toilet paper anywhere and the lines to get into Costco are wrapped completely around the entire building. I would think there would be an exception in this very unique and unfortunate crisis.

The 'poor relation' (pricewise) of the trio of O'Callaghan hotels in Merrion Square, the hotel is compact and functional. The rooms are slightly tired, albeit clean and well equipped. Broadband is very good (unlike the Alexander) and the bar menu is very reasonable, both in terms of quality and value as is the ambience. The (single) lift is however, awful! Slow and small, it lets the rest of the hotel down. In conclusion: significantly cheaper than many of its competitors, the Mont Clare provides reasonable value for money in the heart of the city.

We stayed here twice for our trip, when we first got to Dublin and then when we got back to Dublin. It's overall decent if you just need to stay a night but I wouldn't come back here. The lighting in the rooms is so dim you can hardly see anything, and the breakfast was so so. The faucets are not properly spaced in the sink so everything gets wet on the counter. The service was wonderful which is why I gave three stars.

Very nicely located, close to Trinity, Grafton St, etc Rooms are ok, internet is a bit expensive but good Breakfast: Very good and good value! Needs: a bellhop. it's very unwelcoming having to climb the entry steps with heavy luggage without help

Great stay, gary from maintenance helped me out with a broken bulb and and with a problem with the water. Very helpful.

The hotel staff is very nice, friendly and helpful. We where upgrade to the Oscar Wilde suite on check which was very nice. The downside of the hotel is that it is very old and was a bank. Being an American you understand this up no A/C in the summer made sleeping unbearable as my room was 27C which is 80F. I was given a fan and had to sleep with the windows open and it with loud. The restaurant for breakfast was the worst in Ireland service was horrible egg shells in my eggs. Don't go they find somewhere else for breakfast.

Great breakfast buffet! Quiet Hotel within walking distance to several 'cool' neighborhoods. Stayed for a total of 2 nights one when just getting into Dublin and one while on my way out of Ireland. They have a partner parking lot with a discounted rate that is a short walk away and seemed secure.

In the center of the city near Trinity College, St. Stephen's Green, etc. this hotel has real quaintness and old-time charm, especially since its manager or proprietor, Sally, is so friendly and helpful. Clean and bright rooms with all the usual amenities including free wi-fi. The continental breakfast is great, featuring endless coffee/tea, eggs, sausage, white/black pudding, toast, cereal, danishes, mushrooms, beans....etcetc! There is an on-site bar with live music that is okay, they also have a 'sister' hotel across the road with a fitness center and internet station. My only complaint was that the windows were not adequately sound-proofed, and so I heard everything going on in the street.

I want to review this hotel higher because of the value it offers however there were more than a few issues with my stay in Jan 2015. In general this is a nice enough hotel, reasonably well located. A circa €8 taxi to temple bar. The decor is dated and the place could do with a general update but it was clean and tidy. Breakfast is ok, nothing to shout about but equally not a cause for complaint. The staff were very helpful and polite. The above being said we had issues with our stay. The main problems we had were: 1. First room heating was broken so we had to be moved. 2. Lift was broken(which isn't ideal when on the 5th floor!) 3. The electrics in the room the caused the lights to flicker/glow at varying rates. This surge between power and dim weakness was also a feature of the shower. I also have a few niggles whilst not complaints they are things that bug me. No plug sockets next to the bed for ease of phone charging. The heating controls were useless and regulation of temperature was impossible. We had to settle for being cooked by the radiator. All in all I think a 3 star would perhaps be the best assessment of this hotel. We had some I would hope exceptional issues so I can't rate higher than a 2. Hotels best feature is its low price.

Stayed at Mont Clare for 3 nights in Dec. 2013. Had a very enjoyable stay. Location is one of best in Dublin, right across the street from Merrion Square. Unfortunately, the Aircoach bus no longer has a stop near the hotel. The staff were very friendly and always helpful. Rooms were of a verg good size with good appointments. Only negative thing was that wi fi was only free for 30 minutes a day.

Our group was treated to a lovely offering of friendship and accommodation during our visit this past March. We are a rowdy and silly group that appreciate the participation that Bernie and Gary gave to us with their humor and kindness. What a treat to find!

I stayed here with my family when they came to visit me in Dublin. We were arriving from Italy and the flight was delayed, expected to get to the city centre in Dublin by 2am. I called the hotel and they assured me that someone would be around to check us in at such an hour. since we booked online (hotels.com), we got free wifi, not sure if that's the case in other situations. The hotel was very clean, bathroom was big enough, and the beds were comfortable. It's in a great part of Dubln (right by Trinity, a seven minute walk to Grafton St/Suffolk St. area, and ten minutes from Temple Bar.

Stayed for 6 nights. It was a really good hotel very convenient! 3 minute walk to Trinity College, Merrion square is across the street. Aircoach drops off from the airport 50 yards away! service was great, rooms are nice enough. All good things to say about it. Two of the other O'Callaghan's are across the street!
