3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012 NEW

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and well organized. The location is great — everything is walkable, and the hotel is far enough from the bars and nightclubs that it is quiet. My room was much too warm, even with the heat off (the hallway was positively stifling), and I had to open the... More

I stayed here for one night, check in was smooth and fast. The room was a little tired looking, scuff marks on walls and on the door but might easily be the largest ever hotel room I have stayed in. When I was in the bathroom I washed my hands and there was no soap which was pretty amazing. So... More

I met a business colleague for lunch in their restaurant. It certainly seemed popular with the 'business' and 'upper echelon' sets! However, I was disappointed for two reasons - firstly, we were waiting quite some time before a waiter took our order (okay, they were busy enough) and for our food to arrive....secondly, the lunch was a heck of a...

Dear olhaoafficianado Thank you for the review. I was disappointed to hear that you were not overly happy with your not so recent experience with us in our bar for lunch. Our lounge bar is one of the busiest in the city and we have a huge amount of loyal return guests which in the current economic climate would quickly... More

I stayed here for 6 nights in total whilst on business in Dublin. The reception assistant was very polite, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The bar is old and dated, with carpet and furniture ancient! Food was average and expensive. Breakfast was ok but the layout of the room is too open plan as I like a bit... More

Stayed at the Davenport hotel from Thursday to Sunday (booked three months in advance and got very good deal on room rate). Nice room, facing the parking and therefore quiet. Bathroom with bathtub/shower, not the newest but functional and decent water pressure for a good shower. All in all clean and a firm matrass. Staff at the reception and at... More

This was our first trip to Dublin, me my husband and my four year old. We kind of stumble into this hotel when our previous hotel cancelled our reservation and told us about the O'Callaghan hotel. This was the best thing it could happened to us because it was the perfect hotel for us. We told them that we would... More

We stayed 4 nights at the Davenport in September 2011. Being from California we found the room just too cold even at the highest setting. The front desk said that the temperature for the entire hotel was set for "summer weather", and they will reset the temperature range. Not sure if this was just Irish humor, but it didn't feel...

We stayed at this Hotel while attending a New Year Concert in the national Concert Hall. It is very well placed for this purpose and is within easy walking distance of Grafton St area and Temple Bar. The surrounding area is relatively quiet and yet is near the city buzz if that is what you like. The hotel itself ,while... More

Having stayed for a long weekend for the New Year, initially we thought that this hotel was a little far away from Temple Bar. However, a taxi was only around 7 Euro and it was a nice 10 minute walk away. Hotel staff were really polite and helpful, however, the hotel is a little worn and attention to detail is... More

First impressions of the hotel - big drape curtains, marble floor, dark wood - smart and warm. I arrived at reception hours earlier than check-in time due to my early flight and thought I'd have to wait a few hours for my room, but the friendly receptionist offered us a room straightaway. Upon entering the room, we realised we'd been... More
