“In my opinion, this newly built hotel stands out for its modern design and strategic location near Dublin's Convention Centre and public transport. I noted the fitness centre and varied breakfast options, indicating a good range of amenities. However, reports suggest the evening dining experience may not consistently meet expectations.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Samuel Hotel, Dublin City Centre from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Samuel Hotel's prime location, right next to a Luas stop, providing easy access to the city center and attractions like the 3Arena, which is just a short walk away; O'Connell street is also within a 10-minute walk. The rooms are often described as spacious, comfortable, and super clean, with blackout curtains ensuring a good night's sleep. While the breakfast buffet, with a variety of good quality options, is appreciated, some guests feel it is an extra expense worth purchasing in advance at €13 per person/day.

unfriendly staff poor attitude
The staff didn't seem very friendly. our flight was delayed, so we arrived late. the woman at the front desk just pointed us to self-check-in kiosks. she didn't offer any help when it didn't work at first. She seemed annoyed. the staff's attitude wasn't acceptable for the amount we paid for the stay.

Excellent location and modern amenities

wide selection ample space high-end style
Breakfast included a wide selection of items such as cooked options, continental choices, and cereals.. The room included amenities such as soap, towels, water, and teabags. The hotel had parking in the adjacent CCD with ample spaces available even on a sunday afternoon. I found it to be a very clean place with a high-end style.
The television signal was not good, and I found no nibbles from the restaurant or bar available. I was told to use the vending machine. I also expected the room to be cleaned without having to request it.
