Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Buswells Hotel provides comfortable and warm rooms, some of which are quite spacious, even accommodating three people, with massive and modern bathrooms. Its central location places guests just steps away from Trinity College, Grafton Street, and St Stephen's Green. While parking can be a little challenging, requiring a walk to a nearby garage, many appreciate the hotel's beautiful bar restaurant, where a generous gesture of early morning coffee has been noted, and most find the breakfast awesome.

excellent central hotel stay

central location key attraction decent food nice breakfast
i appreciated the central location near key attractions. the national library was across the street. grafton street, the little museum, and stephen's green were around the corner. i found breakfast nice. the food for dinner was also decent.
i felt the bar service was very slow one evening. it took twenty to thirty minutes to get a drink. some people walked out due to the wait.
