When my electrical adaptor brought from home did not work the front desk personnel allowed me to use one of their adaptors for my entire trip around Ireland and trusted me to return it prior to departing. The day of departure the hotel staff got me a coffee to go before the restaurant opened. Comfortable room, great food, great staff.

On our recent trip to Ireland, we chose Buswells as our "recovery day" hotel following our overnight flight. We expected to drop bags at the hotel and spend most of the day exploring the city while waiting to check in. Arriving at the desk just before 7:00am, the clerk understood our state of exhaustion and immediately found an available room... More

Long-established hotel in city centre. Great location for shopping, Trinity College, museums and government offices. The style is very "olde world" and, in fact, the building and much of the fittings have been there for decades, so it is not cheap reproduction. On the contrary, the soft furnishings, beds, sheets, towels etc are of the highest quality. The breakfast is... More

In my view Buswells has the best combination of character and location of any hotel in Dublin. When visiting cities I like to stay in an hotel that reflects the history of the city. Buswell's certainly does that being a combination of five Georgian former town houses. Rooms are very comfortable but definitely not in the cookie-cutter style of modern... More

I think this is the third time we have stayed at Buswell's in Dublin. The staff are helpful and extremely pleasant, rooms comfortable and attractive, breakfasts delicious, location perfect. What's not to like? We stayed three nights this time, will always pick Buswell's for a Dublin stay.

Buswells was our first hotel on a two week journey through Ireland. It was great in many ways: right in the center of town, staff at front desk and restaurant were very helpful, lounges were comfortable after long days of walking around. We were fortunate to have a large room in the back, after walking a set of up &... More

This is located just a few blocks from everything. It also in a nice part of town that allows you to walk to most attractions. As you can see from the pictures it is very nice and the breakfast was well done, and it has a bar for night time social hour. We were with a Rick Steves tour and... More

Great location. Small room, quite dated but clean. Lady on the front desk didn't have the typical Irish charm we are used too. A lot of stairs to get to our room. Relatively happy with our stay otherwise.
