O'Callaghan Stephens Green — Dublin

We really enjoyed our short stay in Dublin at O'Callaghan Stephens Green. The staff was very helpful and friendly. you are right across the street from Stephens Green and just down the street from numerous shops and restaurants on Grafton street. It was also very nice to be in a hotel in which you did not even need a converter for the electricity... they had an American style outlet by the desk! Would definitely stay here again!

Stayed 3 nights here as home base for visiting Dublin, able to walk and take tour bus (got a 3 day pass ahead of time) everywhere we went. Felt safe. Loved the adjacent St. Stephen's Green Park; it's beautiful. Room had hot pot for tea, a safe for valuables, hairdryer (not fancy but it worked) and magnifying make-up mirror. Room not very brightly lit and breakfast wasn't anything to write home about. Bathroom, & bed were OK. Staff friendly and helpful. Best thing of all is the location.

Hotel is pricy but central from everything you want to do in Dublin. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff only somewhat helpful. The Pie Bistro restaurant was closed every day. Why have a restaurant if it's closed?

Very clean, modern and quiet hotel in an excellent location for exploring the major sites. The staff were quick, responsive and allowed us to check into our decent-sized room by 9.30am which was excellent as we were only doing a short break and were carrying our luggage. Check-out was also simple and hassle free. They also offered to hold our baggage during the last day but we didn't bother as we were visiting Kilmainham Gaol. At all times there was a member of staff on duty and in many cases there were two. I didn't bother with the restaurant but it looked clean. I took my wife and parents with me to Dublin this time and they all enjoyed this hotel. It was a great price and had all you could ask for regarding a short break - location, location, location, amenities and a decent night's sleep.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. Our room was tidy and comfortable although there was only one pillow each and the mattress was uncomfortable. The tv in the room was dodgy - it kept turning off. The staff tried to sort it out but we gave up with it in the end. The hotel was in a perfect position - by taxi's, the dart and the sightseeing bus although you could walk anywhere from it.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. We took a redeye flight and arrived at 9 AM and they let us check in with no problem at all. The location was ideal, right in the heart of Dublin and within easy walking distance of major attractions. Highly recommended.

We stayed for two days at the beginning of August. All the major sites are an easy walk from the Stephen's Green Hotel. Stephens Green is just opposite and Merrion Square is close by. You can get the "Hop On Hop Off" Bus Tour from Stephen's Green and it's a short walk up Grafton Street to Trinity College, Temple Bar and the River Liffey. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. Our room was at the front of the hotel. With the windows open there was traffic noise but this was stopped by closing the windows. Bathroom was large and well fitted. Breakfast was good value for Dublin with a full buffet (including juices, cereals, fruit, pastries, eggs, bacon, tomato, black pudding, sausage, beans, mushrooms and toast)for Euros 11.95. An earlier review said this was expensive - but other places were more expensive and less good. Having stayed at several Dublin hotels over the years on business trips, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel as quiet, comfortable, friendly and centrally located.

Wonderful information/assistance from employees at Reception and great hotel location.

Our room was brand new (two weeks in use), and very nice...king size bed, flat-screen tv, room safe, very modern bathroom. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to Grafton St., and within walking distance of Trinity College, and all center city sites.

I really liked the comfortable large rooms here. Great beds, large TV, roomy bathroom, and air conditioning that really worked-not something you can always count on in Europe. They could have been more generous with the soap, just one small bar for the whole bathroom. We were always moving it back and forth between sink and shower. The staff was terrific, very helpful with maps and suggestions. We enjoyed the bar, good food and drinks, and friendly bartenders. They have a business center with 2 computers you can use for free, also a nice plus. Loved the location near a great mall with free wifi and across the street from the park. A few minutes walk from lots of restaurants, shopping, music. I would stay here again.

This hotel was very central. next to the wondeful park, close to grafton street, irish pubs and sites and museums.. However, a quite big impersonal hotel. But good sized clean rooms. With the window open, noise form the bissy street, but no noise with the window closed.

We found O'Callaghan Stephens Green to be a nice hotel in a great location. It was within easy walking distance to all the fun spots in Dublin yet reasonably quiet. We enjoyed the convenience of this location also since it is close to the but and commuter train routes.

This room in this hotel was spotless. It was part of new addition that had just opened. The hotel location is ideal for drop off and pick up for the Air Coach to and from the airport. Also, the location is in easy walking distance to Grafton Street and Temple Bar, two of the main areas of the city. The only complaint we had was that the room temperature was set by the hotel at 21 degrees C.

I booked this hotel as part of a birthday present for my husband, to see U2 in Dublin. The description made the hotel sound a little bit special, which was pefect for the occassion. The reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. It was clearly a full hotel and going to be a busy weekend reception was overflowing with cases and bags presumably left by people checking in or out. Our room was dissapointing. The bathroom smelt musty. The soap dish was dangerously hanging off the shower wall, one touch and it was off with two very large screws attached. Lift the hairdryer from the bathroom wall and the hose came out of the unit so it was unusable. The shower curtain could not be positioned to stop the shower water flooding the floor. The bedroom size and furniture was fine. The road was too noisy to have the window open at night. Iron and ironing board was useful, tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Fridge (or empty minibar!). Overall, dissapointing. Certainly nothing boutiquey about this hotel.

I can't imagine a better location in Dublin. It's walking distance to almost everything, including wonderful restaurants and major tourist sites (St. Patrick's, Christ Church,Trinity College, Temple Bar) and great shopping. We stayed in a new section of the hotel--and the first room we got had an ever-running toilet. As it wasn't fixed at the end of the day, we were moved to a similar room. The room was very quiet and comfortable. The only negative about the hotel is the breakfast--way over priced and not very good. Just a bit down St. Stephens Green is an Insomnia coffee shop that has fantastic coffee and tea--and raspberry scones. Try it instead of the hotel breakfast.

The O'Callaghan St. Stephens Green is close to everything, but just outside of the crowds. One block away is Camden Road, which has numerous little cafes, grocery stores and pubs, where you could actually meet a real irishman. It combines convenience with an escape from the craziness of Temple Bar and Grafton Street. The manager could not be more accomodating. The rooms are large, and at the rear have a nice view of the distant mountains. It was very quiet, a rare commodity in downtown Dublin hotels. Yet is one block from Grafton Street.

Well appointed hotel. In a superb location, a short walk away to most 'must-see' sites, restaurants, shops and pubs. St Stephen's Green park is a fab place to chillout and recharge for the next day's outing!!!

This hotel was really nice. The location was perfect, right across from the park and within walking distance of just about everything in Dublin.

Perfect locaton, great bar, but skip the breakfast and go one block to Sofia'a Cafe for 1/3 the price and much better!!

Hotel was in great location, accessible to everything though staff was rather apathetic when approached. Asked about suggestions for breakfast was told "there's a McDonalds down the street, when in fact there were multiple cafes in the area" Told there would be a valet & none there.

Hotel was great for our trip just as it said on trip advisor. We stayed for 2 nights and it was a super base for everything that one should do in Dublin. Staff were helpful locating places on maps for us. Very clean. We did not eat breakfast there (since it was not included in our package) or use the bar facilities as we wanted to be out and about. Had to buy internet time which worked with no problems. Would be nice if they had a nice big sweet smelling flower arrangement on the reception desk to make it more welcoming as you step into the lobby from the street. It has great potential but is missing this feature. Also grey curtains in the room were not very attractive although bedspread and other furnishings were bright and welcoming. Same with corridor carpets, but don't let this deter you from staying here, it was really a great base to see Dublin and comfortable. Particularly like what looked like a new shower curtain - spotless!

We picked this hotel on the basis of location and it certainly delivered in that regard. But don't expect any help or assistance or even a smile from the front desk staff. On three separate occasions, they gave us incorrect directions and information -- the worst was that they couldn't even give us the pick-up location for the bus to the airport. The printed map at the desk was even wrong. If you know Dublin and want the location, the rooms are fine and the location (a block fron Grafton street) is excellent.

A friend and I stayed here for one night. The staff on reception were excellent, friendly and efficient. The room was OK. There was no soap in the bathroom and the shower temperature gauge was not working. You had to turn the control to a high temperature to get the water to cool down. It took a while to figure this out. Otherwise good as very powerful water pressure. We ordered room service breakfast which, although a little expensive, was excellent and worth it. I would stay there again but it would not be my first choice. That said, the location is very great.

Excellent helpful staff, lovely spacious clean room, great location. Only one downside, cost of breakfast very expensive!

Great location - easy to get everywhere - and a great value. The staff was extremely helpful with great recommendations and directions. The rooms have internet access via the TV (with a keyboard) for about 4 Euros a day if you want to bypass the business center. We ate one dinner at the hotel and the food was reasonable and tasty. The staff gave us wonderful recommendations for breakfast, pub grub and fine dining. I would have preferred nicer bed linens and pillows, but that is a very minor complaint. The front desk staff could not have been better, and I'd stay here again.

The friendly staff seemed very anxious when my brother and I arrived because a large football group caused them to be over-booked. They instead put us in a 2 bedroom APARTMENT!! They were very gracious and friendly as well. This was an awesome stay in an awesome city. Only a fool would overlook this well-run property. Great staff, great location, and great service.

We choose this hotel on our first trip to Dublin because other reviewers had commented on the excellent location (in the midst of everthing, easy walking to locations, quiet neighborhood) and the size of the bathrooms (large rooms, easy to use showers, etc - not the typical European type of timy bathroom). Our expectations were exceeded. Upon check in, we were upgraded to a larger room with king-size bed (we were hoping at best for double bed), very large bathroom with great shower, hot water. This was the most quiet hotel I have ever stayed at. We stayed 5 nights and only heard people in the hallway for 5 minutes one night (two women - no rowdy kids). It wasn't because no one was staying there, as the hotel was busy in the lobby and in the very nice bar downstairs. The location was perfect for walking all over Dublin. Definitely recommend this and would stay here again. Excellent value.

I stayed here for a conference held at the Royal College of Surgeons. It was clean and modern. The staff were very polite. The location was excellent as it was only 2 minutes walk from the my venue and only 5 minutes walk from grafton street. The only downside was the traffic outside was very noisy late at night (taxis etc) and the breakfast was a prohibitive £16.00 for full breakfast (I chose to eat my own in my room and as there was a fridge this was fine!).

Considering the price we paid it was a great stay. Perfect location on a beautiful park, easy to get public transportation and near a stop for the airport shuttle (8 euros)and the hop off/hop on buses. Easy walk to Trinity college. Beautiful room with a huge bed and nice bathroom. The only problem was we could hear the street below the first night, but when my husband discovered a vent that could be closed on the window, it was very quiet the next night. The staff should have told us about that. There was a free computer downstairs with internet, a teapot with everything you need in the room, and most of the staff were friendly. We couldn't find a good place for dinner but there was a great literary pub nearby with a really good live Irish band.

Situated at a corner of Stephen's Green right on Grafton Street, the location could not have been better. I also liked that it was a bit removed from the main "touristy" center surrounding Trinity College & the Temple Bar area. The hotel itself is in no way anything lavish, however, the beds were quite comfortable and, considering all the walking Dublin requires, they provided much-needed replenishment.

The best thing about this hotel was it's location. My friend and I had our two five year olds with us and had an adjoining door between the two rooms which was great for the two girls. When you step outside the hotel one of the side entrances for St Stephen's Green is directly opposite. Luas, busses and Grafton Streen practically on our door step. The food and service at the bar was very good and not over priced. The staff in general were very friendly and we will certainly be returning to this hotel when we return to Dublin.

The O'Callaghan Stephens Green Hotel provided an excellent base on the South Side of the river, from which to explore Dublin's culture,shopping and nightlife. It is situated on a quiet corner of St Stephens Green, a secluded inner city park which is lovely in the daytime but like all city parks is probably better avoided at night. Another benefit of the location is that it is on the south side near Grafton Street (the main shopping area). The hotel itself is modern and clean.There is a nice spacious bar and restaurant, and the staff are attentive. The only problem I had with the cleanliness of the room was finding stains on our bed linen on arrival. However this was rectified by the cleaning staff without fuss. As mentioned the hotel provides an excellent base from which to explore Dublin as it is close to many of the tourist attractions, namely Dublin Castle, Trinity College (Book of Kells) and Temple Bar. O'Connell Street (GPO, Clery's) can be reached in about 10 minutes by foot.

Overall it was a good value, staff was great, hotel bar was great, restaurant nice and food good. Rooms facing street were noisy. Beds ok. Don't need to park in the expensive parking garage, some street spaces right across from front of hotel.

Very comfortable and spacious room in a perfectly located hotel.

We were very well looked after by the staff at this hotel. Check in procedures were completed with a minimum of fuss and plenty of smiles and general chit chat. Having mentioned the trip was to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday, we were upgraded to a larger room on the top floor, which set us up for a wonderful four days in Dublin. The staff were pleasant, helpful and always willing to assist, whether suggesting places to visit, or opening times of local shops. We decided to make use of the restaurant and were happy with the a la carte menu choices. Portions were larger than expected, and of a good standard. The Magic Glasses bar served hot and cold snacks from 10a.m. to 10p.m. Coffee in the bar was a wonderful way of unwinding after long walks around town. We would be more than happy to make a return visit.

we really enjoyed our stay at O'Callaghans. The hotel is in a really cenral postion right next to grafton street and only 5 mins walk to temple bar area. the facilites of the hotel are good and there is a nice bar area - drinks are relatively cheap - for dublin!!! would recommend a stay here - really good value for money.

This was one great stay. They upgraded our room to a suite, were extremely pleasant, had a comfortable business center for free (which internet is not free in NYC or London hotels we stayed on this trip), and a great pub. Even though they had an onsite restaurant and pub, whose prices were cheaper than the average in the area, we still walked to other places. It is perfectly located to walk through St Stephens Green, up Grafton St and surrounding area, Trinity College, Temple Bar, Merrion Square, The National Gallery and Museum. Everything you need is at your reach from this hotel. Unbelievable stay at a great price. For St. Patty's Day week and it was perfect!

As of 8th March 09 there are road works right outside the hotel, the noise went on right through Friday night ! Maybe back rooms (away from street) in hotel are better ? The hotel is great otherwise, so avoid for a few weeks then it should be Ok again ! Breakfast is pricey at 17 euros. Service was very good.

I have stayied in this hotel a number of times and do really like it, the building work out the back though is really noisy during the day. Therefore if you are out touring or working during the day and want a great place to go back to then this hotel is great, but be warned the building work is right outside the window and starts at 8.30am. They did say that the really noisy stuff is over so things should be better soon.

Great location, bottom of Grafton Street, so only a short walk to Temple Bar, yet far enough removed from all the noise! Excellent reception staff, very friendly and helpful. Comfortable room, well decorated, had a great nights sleep.

I stayed for two nights in this hotel. They maintain a good standard of housekeeping, customer service and food. Also, a minor detail was a silicon seal needing replacing on the bath. I would stay at this hotel again.

great location and nice hotel, but won't accommodate our late check out request because hotel was closing for christmas which seemed weird. I would stay here again for sure - cause its so close to the shopping area and some great nite life.

Perfect location for people wishing to stay within walking distance of the town centre but far enough away from the noise of the pubs & clubs. Excellent staff , comfortable rooms. Would use again.

A well located hotel. Helpful staff. We were on top floor and at beginning of November the room with floor to ceiling windows (closed) was COLD Enjoyed our stay but did not get the heater that reception had promised. reported problem again on or departure so might be a fault in just one room.
