This boutique hotel is located just blocks from St. Stephens Green and a short walk from Trinity College and shopping on Grafton Street. This location makes it an excellent place for easy access to these sites, as well as easy access to the hop-on-hop-off and city bus services. The hotel is pretty, and the staff is top notch. The rooms... More

I stayed here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the standard of the rooms and the breakfast the following morning. It is good value for the location and the staff were friendly. If you are booking with the hotel directly, ask them to do a little better on the room rate - it might work! They offer free parking also.... More

Following the advice of contributors to the Dublin Forum, I booked a room at Buswells. I had been forewarned that rooms at older hotels in central Dublin tend to be small, so I was not surprised by the limited space in my single room. The bathroom, in contrast, was quite large and stylish. When I return to Dublin, I will... More

Having compared a few hotels in this vicinity I would recommend this place. staff were extremely friendly and helpful on arrival. Rooms a little old style but in keeping with the building and very clean and comfortable. Also free wifi access. Overall better value than some nearby competitors and I would recommend this hotel.

After 2 weeks driving thru Ireland, Buswells was a lovely end to our trip. The location is very central to Trinity College, the museums, shopping and the hop-on-hop-off buses. We loved the Old World feel and the funky nooks and stair cases. Tea in the parlor was a treat. The staff was helpful and friendly. My daughter and i were... More

Stayed for 2 nights in January and found Buswell's to be ideally located and a great hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful, rooms were comfortable and classy and had everything we needed. After staying in some very cold soul-less hotels Buswell's was a nice change. If you want a centrally located hotel with loads of character, Buswells is... More

You cannot beat the location of Buswell's. It is within walking distance of all of the major attractions as well as across the street from the National Library and the National Museum of Ireland and just a block from St. Stephens Green. The airport bus drop-off is across the street from the hotel. We had dinner in the bar one... More

We stayed for two nights in a triple room (no.301?) overlooking some rooftops and an office building in late March. The room was spacious, close to a lift but quiet, nice just maybe slightly on the shabby side. The bathroom had nice toiletries but was a little outdated and had very low ceiling (i.e., felt slightly claustrophobic). The beds were... More

We picked Buswells mostly by chance and lucked out! The rooms were large and clean, the staff friendly. The beds felt new - firm, but not too hard. I had no trouble sleeping. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere, the geneal joviality of the staff and other guests. The hotel itself has a beautiful lobby and restraunt/bar. The food was delicious.... More
