We had to get a place to stay on very short notice and even with a big sporting weekend coming up, the hotel staff managed to provide my fiancé and I with a nice room. Throughout our stay we could not help to notice just how friendly and helpful the staff were helping and assisting wherever they could.
An old majestic building, clean and neat and with the amazing staff, this hotel a place well worth visiting.

I agree with all previous reviewers who raved about the great staff and convenient ocation of this hotel. My husband and I stayed here in January 2012 and really liked the charm of the place and the incredible location. Having said that, though, please be aware that there are some pretty scary people hanging around the hotel day and night. We heard from a taxi driver that there is both a homeless shelter and a methadone maintenance clinic on the street, and I checked online and found this to be true. I was surprised this wasn't mentioned by previous reviewers. If you are a woman traveling alone, or if you plan on late nights (when the hotel is locked up behind bars), this may not be the safest choice. I really regret to mention it, because our overall experience was so positive and we liked the staff so much, but its something to consider when booking.

We booked this hotel for a night out in Dublin because it had parking & was central. We arrived at the hotel only to be told that there was no car parking spaces & the porter could take our car to a city centre car park. I assumed that the hotel would cover this cost but was told that we would need to pay. If I had known there was a possibility of no car space & that I would have to pay 20 euros on parking I never would have booked here in a million years or perhaps I wouldnt have brought the car.

We then went up to the room which was twin, we are a couple so obviously we booked a double. We rang down to reception to advise of the error only to be informed by the receptionist that this was what we had booked. We remained calm & explained that as a couple we wouldnt have booked a twin. The receptionist continued to contest that this was the room booked. At this point we were getting pretty fed up and asked if she could place us in a double room. There was only one left which we were shown to. This room absolutely stank of stale cigerettes, it was vile and no amount of having the window opened helped.

There was a private function on in the hotel which meant that there was music pumping until almost 1.30am so no sleep was had. After 1.30am people from the party continued screaming and shouting.

The next morning at about 9.30am we were woken to more pumping music from the same funciton room and the sound of kids shouting, there was another childrens party on,


Overall it was an extremely unpleasant stay, I definately wouldnt recommend, I feel as though the hotel reached into my pocket and robbed the 110euro I paid for the room and 20euro for the car park because I would have preferred to stay home.

I've stayed in an awful lot of hotels and guest houses in the last 12 months, but Wynn's Hotel has to rate of one of my favourites.

If you want modern, bland and faceless accommodation in Dublin, then don't book here. If, however, you want character and incredibly helpful staff then you really should make this your first choice.

Ok, I'll admit, it wasn't perfect, but only on two counts: our third floor room faced the street and was a little noisy. That said, I actually liked the sound of the trams and the other traffic didn't keep me awake - it was just a little louder than I'd have liked when we were in our room during the day (which wasn't often). The only other thing I'd have changed was the bedsheets - they were a bit stiff and starchy so weren't the most comfortable things to sleep on. However, the bonuses of this hotel, far outweighed those two minor points. For example:

We had an early flight into Dublin. I'd emailed prior to arrival asking if we could drop off our luggage at around 09.00 and if possible, have a slightly earlier check-in. Well, we arrived just after 9 to a very friendly greeting and were given the keys to our room. We were able to have a cup of tea and a rest before heading into the city.

The location is amazing. The bus from the airport drops you off just around the corner and the Luas red line tram goes right past the hotel. This made getting to the O2 arena (the main purpose of our trip) a doddle. 20 minutes after walking out of the hotel and we were at the venue.

If you want to do the touristy bus ride around the city, that too is a 2 minute walk away and the nightlife of Temple Bar is a 10 minute walk over O'Connell bridge.

Our room was a good size, as was the bathroom. We had a lovely sleigh bed and a spa bath and everything was spotlessly clean. The decor was a tiny bit tired, but not scruffy or worn by any means. The whole hotel has an elegance about it and it made a refreshing change from the contemporary neutrality of many of the newer hotels I've stayed in.

To top it all, there was a very good breakfast to be had in the wonderful dining room and every member of staff we met in our two days were helpful, efficient and incredibly friendly.

I can't imagine I'll return to Dublin again as it's not my favourite city, but if I did, I'd certainly be booking another room at Wynn's Hotel.
