We just returned from our first trip to Dublin, and we stayed at Bewley's Hotel in Ballsbridge for 5 nights. For convenience, it can't be beat. The Aircoach stops just outside the gate, the bus into the City Centre is right in front of the hotel, and the DART station is about 5 minutes away by foot.
The hotel is lovely and because we booked early, we were able to secure a deluxe king roon. VERY roomy, with comfortable bed and a lovely duvet. Large bathroom with tub and shower. Also, a nice little round "porthole" window in the bath let in natural light.
Ballsbridge is a really nice area, with lots of good restaurants within a short walk from the hotel. As a treat, we ate dinner our last night at O'Connell's Restaurant in the hotel. The salmon was the best I've ever had!! Very affordable since we ordered from the "Early Bird" menu. Attentive service and the bottle of wine that my husband bought at a local wine store was chilled perfectly.
Wireless internet (just turned on my computer and there it was) as well as an in-room safe (free) which was large enough to fit my computer into comfortably.
Front desk response to questions was quick and polite.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone contemplating a trip to Dublin. It is an awesome value for the money.
This is definitely where we will stay when we return to Dublin.
