The Fitzwilliam
Stephens Green Hotel


We put up visitors to the work office in those 2. From those i've spoken too the Fitzwilliam is better but more expensive - both real business traveller type hotels. Think Stephens Green around €100 & Fitzwilliam €150 per night but i could be completely wrong...

The Fitzwilliam



Stayed there for a night about 6 months ago.
Not great for the money charged.The room was'nt properly cleaned when we checked in to it and we had to ask for a different room.that aside still not worth it.
never stayed in the others listed.

The Grafton Capital is the only one I don't know.
I LOVE the Trinity Capital!
Never stayed in The Fitzwilliam.
All the rest are spot on and the staff are very professional.

For those on a more modest budget, I've found the Jury's Inn on Parnell St. (http://www.jurys-dublin-hotels.com/jurysinn_parnellstreet) to be very good. Never once had a problem and I've stayed there more than 10 times since it opened last year. The staff are always on the ball, the rooms are always clean and the location is ideal.

Camden Court on Camden Street is one we use for work. Between €100 and €120 a night. Good quality hotel. Jury's Inn Christchurch is another cheaper option but is perfectly fine.

Book the Morrison. I stayed there a while ago and found it excellent, it's a cut above the rest of them. Courteous, friendly and efficient staff and very nice rooms.

I wouldn't agree given how good the Trinity Capital is.

It's good alright but I've stayed in both and I just prefer the Morrison. Not sure what the star rating of either is. Anybody know?

The Trinity is 3*
It's the bars and restaurants that I like most about that place.
