Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the modern and clean feel of The Samuel Hotel, along with its convenient location near the 3Arena. Being situated close to the Red Line Luas stop offers easy access to the city centre, either with a short ride or a pleasant walk along the docks. While some found the room size for three people a bit small, many appreciate the excellent bathrooms and the convenience of nearby parking at the Dublin Convention Centre.

charming city spot

handy locationgluten free thingsfirm pillows

I found the location quite handy nearby the train. it was easy enough to walk around to different places. the hotel appears smart and modern. I found the rooms very comfortable overall. breakfast was a nice touch, plenty of gluten free things were available too.

self check in didn't work upon arrival causing about a 15 minute wait. pillows were firm for both me and my husband, a bit too firm. i think a softer option would be beneficial.
