Beds were superb and very comfortable - shower was passable as shower door was not secure and water pooled on the bathroom floor. Stair bannister requires fixing on the second floor not securing with tape! Food was edible..... continental breakfast was ok.

I was in Dublin on business in January 2008 and had made an online boking for the Landsdowne Hotel. When I arrived I was given a tiny room (6 feet x 9 feet)in the basement of the hotel. The bed was the smallest single bed possible and had a terrible mattress with absolutely no support.There was one sheet covering the mattress and nothing between the duvet cover and me. There was an old 12" TV which did not work properly. The bathroom was tiny - no vanity to put a soap bag on....and the shower had lots of disgusting black mould around the tiles...an old bottle of liquid soap and grotty grey white towels which desperately needed replacing. I could clearly hear the occupant of the room upstairs using the bathroom in full detail - need I say more? It was a horrendous room. To the defence of the staff at the Landsdowne - when I complained the next day I was moved to a larger room which was only marginally better because it had a double bed - everything else was consistent with the first room plus the curtains were hanging off the rail in the new room. The price for the room was Euro $109 a night which I think is daylight robbery for that quality of room, especially as the lovely Bewleys Hotel down the road(where I have aready booked for my trip in January 2009)is the same price for that time of year. By the way I am Irish and know Dublin very well and I have stayed in these kinds of old hotels in Ireland before but this has been a new low. I dread to think what the average American or other non - Irish visitor would think of this place....just terible for tourism and only adds fuel to the image of Ireland as a very expensive place to visit...

We were attending a christmas party on the green. so the location was ideal. I found the room to be extremely small. The paintwork in the room definitely needs redoing. However, the room and bedclothes were clean. I was very impressed with the choice for breakfast the next morning. Overall, a good experience - just get the painter & decorator out!

Hotel was lovely & quaint. The rooms were very clean & modern. With a lovely plasma TV. Couldn't find a fault with the Hotel itself. The only downside was the service, upon check in, a member of staff thought breakfast wasn't included even after ckecking the computer serveral times. Until i reread our check in sheet, it was clearly marked. This also happened while we were eating breakfast, they had to double check it was included. Overall though, a great stay.
