I booked this by accident and didn’t realize that it was a room, but it worked out well. It was convenient to the airport. The room was spacious and comfortable. The thing that caused me concern was that it didn’t have a private bath, but that was not an issue. We were able to use the facilities at will with no wait or inconvenience. I hadn’t stayed in a place like this before, but I would consider staying again. We had privacy. I wasn’t able to make tea in my room, but I didn’t ask for help either, so, not a big deal.

This is the second time to book in this wonderful hotel, perfect location for tours, walking the city, taking a bus or taxi. The staff are very helpful, friendly, respectful, bilingual. The rooms are spacious, clean, so the showers. I highly recommend Riu hotel, it’s not expensive and it has high expectations for the client! It’s our favorite hotel!

I booked a room on the Monday morning of our arrival date as we were driving from Belfast to Dublin airport early the next morning for a Barcelona flight .Fog was predicted in the early hours of Tuesday morning so we thought it safer to drive down to Malahide on the day before for a shorter/safer car journey to the airport.On arrival I was greeted by Margaret, one of the receptionists,I explained to Margaret that the only room we could find whilst booking online was a double room which wasn't really suitable for my cousin & I, Margaret changed our accommodation to a twin room which suited us much better.I also explained to Margaret that we would be leaving for Dublin airport at 6.00 AM the next morning and as breakfast was due to start at 6.00 I asked for a takeaway breakfast to be made up, Margaret arranged this and we duly picked this up early the next morning. Excellent service by Margaret on reception !

Excellent location at the end of OConnell Bridge. Perfect base for sightseeing whether a first timer or frequent visitor to Dublin. Comfortable for our group of 5 although a second bathroom / toilet would have been a bonus

Great stay! Very well located. The rooms are small, but have everything you need!

I'm not sure if I was trolled by this property. I had asked for a "quieter" room on the top floor in my booking request and was told pretty quickly that it was "approved". Unfortunately, when I arrived (within 30 minutes of the opening of check-in time) I was given a room on the middle floor, directly across from the elevator and stairs for the entire property. As expected, it was loud, from above and both sides and from people coming to and from the stairs (like, had to turn up the TV to hear it over the noise kind of loud). I am unsure if all the rooms are this loud because I can only review what I was given. The rugs were taped down on the edges with masking tape, and were pretty dirty - it was a shoes-on kind of place, but otherwise it was clean and adequately sized with dated/damaged decor. The walls are thin, there was a family with small childern next to me at one point, and the housekeeping routine noise in the AM does not allow for any kind of "sleeping in" in the morning. Reception never actually had anyone present at any point when I came or went from the property. The property itself is well-located if you're needing something near UCD as I was. There are few options this close to UCD, but I'm not sure I would stay here again given my personal experience. I'd say good value for money if you're not as annoyed with the same kind of issues I encountered.
