Stayed here for two nights. Friendly staff and good location. The lobby area is beautiful. The room was nice but very tight-literally only enough room to sleep. After a night doing the Musical Pub Crawl, we arrived back to the hotel later and the doors are locked and you have to be let in. You are supposed to give your... More

We stayed for one night only on Monday 7th May 2012. We had arrived on the "fast' ferry from Holyhead at about 1pm. The streets of Dublin are tricky to negotiate and we ended up inadvertently parking our car in a dingy and very dodgy looking car park which we thought was the one the hotel has an agreement with....

Tiny, tiny rooms -- sleeping only -- no room for hanging out/lounging. Load street noise. Front desk/hotel staff was not very friendly (usually the Irish are so friendly). They seemed rushed and didn't care to talk much with guests -- like they were tired of answering simple questions travelers may have.

I love the hunt for a good room with pleasing aesthetics, a nice location and a good value - Buswell's proved to be all that and more. We came in on a red-eye from the US, arriving at ~5:30 AM. Though the hotel was booked, and our room wasn't ready for some time (nor was it expected to be), the... More

Excellent location, near the Aircoach stops from the airport, close to everything one wants to visit, and very comfortable indeed. The staff helpful, efficient, and friendly, the bar and restaurant cosy, the rooms well appointed, spacious and quiet. By far the best hotel in Dublin for its price.

Buswell's is a bit like staying at your Aunt Mary's, cozy and comfortable. The location is brilliant, between Trinity College, the museums, Grafton Street and St. Stephen's Green.

We lucked out and received a triple (additional twin/single bed) room for the price of a double, so our room (220) was quite large and roomy.
