Matkat – Rathdrum

The room was okay, it had a bad smell (I think it was the carpet) but we got used to it. There was only bath towels, no hand towels. The view was amazing. The restaurant downstairs was amazing. We did not spend a lot of time in the hotel, and more in the surrounding area, so that smell did not take the score down too low :)

Aamiainen oli loistava, samoin henkilökunta. Sijainti oli hyvällä paikalla Dublinin pääkadulla. Hotelli osittain aika kulahtanut, mm. huoneen katossa selvästi ollut(/on?) vesivahinko ja huone haisi tunkkaiselta. Huoneiden ja käytävien seinät ja lattiat aikansa eläneitä. Näistä johtuen olisin valinnut toisen hotellin jos olisin nämä tiennyt.

Broken cabinets, no remote for television, no hand towels. Staff was friendly but asked for remote and access to game room and got reply. Often no one available at the desk at all.

The Devlin is a lovely boutique hotel in a pleasant residential neighborhood a few short tram or bus stops from the center of Dublin. It’s beautifully designed and the staff were great…friendly and helpful. The only problem for us was that the rooms are very small and the double bed only had one way to get in and out. My husband and I are 81 and although we’re “spry” getting in and out of bed was as pain. Also, there was virtually no place to unpack. Only three hangers on three hooks and a draw under the bed that we needed to get down on our 81 year old hands and knees to access. Otherwise we loved staying at this charming hotel!
