Blooms Hotel

From 23rd to 25th of March, me and my dad we went to Dublin from Milan, for visit the city and its masterpiece of art (Trinity College Library) and the historical factory Guinness Storehouse, and we found this fantastic hotel. It's located in the centre of Dublin in Temple Bar's area. The room that we chose, was very comfortable, tidied and cleaned. The staff that who welcomed us was been kind, polite and helpful, especially for the problem with phone cable charge ( UK electric plug). VAT House was the place that we liked a lot ( the entrance is immediately out the hotel elevators) with its nice food irish dishes like smoked salmon,fried fish with unforgettable Guinness pint and for finish a whiskey glass. Like frame there was pleasant tradition irish music. Advised for the position, price , food and tradition music entertainment.

Ideally placed Hotel Great for tourist attractions such as Temple Bar Molly Malone Statue Trinity College Hotel contains a pub which is modern and very clean upon checking in you are given a drinks voucher for every guest checking in so great value Rooms are all secure and there are free to use safes in your rooms for valuables. Overall I would highly recommend here if your staying in Dublin,and if I return would definitely book this hotel.

Right in the centre of the city, so great access to all sights and tours. Room cleaned daily and great service overall. Bar adjoined has daily live music and is traditional in style. All in all, great value for money and would stay there again.

Manager is a rude, money hungry man who doesn't understand the hospitality business. Made us feel very unwelcome. This was reflected in his staff, who all looked miserable throughout our stay, not once did we see anyone crack a smile in the 4 nights we were here. Room was definitely not worth the money we paid! Curtains were broken and couldn't close them properly, the TV didn't work properly, the hairdryer in the room was broken, shower barely worked, blanket on the bed was dirtied with other people's hairs and questionable stains. Mugs were dirty and there was a serious dust issue in various parts of the room. To make this better, the manager accused us of vandalising the room because of a ketchup stain on the wall. He claimed Housekeeping refused to clean our room and it would take 2 days of professional painters to fix the "mess" (we wiped it off in 2 seconds). He wanted €230 to stay in another room (we had prepaid over €600 before our arrival for the 4 nights here). Rooms were advertised at €120 online. The manager needs to have a better understanding of the hospitality business and what good customer service is. We had paid decent money to stay in a mediocre hotel, where the housekeeping was poor. We were also made to pay €50 deposit on arrival, which was refunded on check but yet to see in our bank, were told this could take up to 14 days to return in our account.

Just come back from a 2 night stay. The location is just amazing, for the price you pay I don’t think you can beat this hotel. Yes the rooms need upgrading as they are basic and look tired. Quick check in and check out, beds are comfy, hot shower and room was clean. Let’s face it when in Temple Bar you aren’t going to be spending much time in the room so I would highly recommended. The VAT which is the bar joined to the hotel is just perfect. Bar staff are polite, funny and make you feel so welcome. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

We stayed here for a night last week and it was good. Location from public transit was ideal. Get off at Aston quays and it’s a 4 min walk. Checkin was great. They let us in early and you get a free pint at the Vat house bar, which is attached. One of my favourite bars during our time. The band was so so good. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were plush. No AC in the room but it was cool enough outside we just opened the window. Wifi wasn’t the greatest in the room. Still worked but went in and out. The shower flooded when we used it but we always had hot water and great pressure. Would stay here again. ** for travelers download the app “here maps” for offline GPS. Download the country/city map and you don’t need internet to get anywhere or search for places.

This is a three star hotel that doesn't try to hide that fact. It's fairly clean and the location can't be beat. The staff were friendly for the most part. The TVs in the room don't work and housekeeping is hit or miss. There are some safety concerns from all the homeless people wandering the area, especially at night. We actually had a lady sneak into the hotel and crawl out onto the roof outside our 5th floor room. When I went down and told the staff (phone in the room didn't work either) they at first argued that no one could get out to the roof , even though she was literally right there. They won't set up taxi service for you back to the airport. I wouldn't stay here again.

Excellent location, friendly staff and clean hotel in the heart of The Temple district close to everything. The in house pub is a hidden gem with great entertainment and a fun atmosphere. If you are familiar with the area then you would understand most of these hotels are old and not too different- this is a great option.

Cons: 1- very poor, yet deficient room housekeeping service. Bathrooms are not cleaned and consumables are replaced occasionally. Talking to housekeeping personnel revealed they are directed to a quick and rough service. This Is not and isolated nor unintentional occurrance. 2- Front desk declines to call for taxis. There Is a sign on display at the front desk. Unacceptable for an hotel that lives on tourists. Pros: 1- Great and strategic location for all activities in Dublin. 2- Very good and convenient Pub in the Hotel premises.
