KELLYS HOTEL, Dublin

The hotel occupies a prime spot on a lively street filled with pubs, restaurants, and shops. Grafton Street, Temple Bar, and Trinity College are all within a few minutes' walk. The 3Arena is a 40-minute walk or 25 minutes by public transport. Bus stops near the door connect directly to the airport. The surrounding area is bustling day and night, with excellent walkability to all central attractions.

Room options include Standard double, Executive (some with baths), and a Penthouse with two king beds and a separate living area. The Penthouse has a shared bathroom between the two bedrooms. Rooms are compact in general, with some reports of dated fixtures and worn carpets, but the beds are consistently noted as very comfortable. Windows are single-glazed, so street and bar noise can be significant - lighter sleepers may struggle. The hotel is adults only, with kettles, hairdryers, and irons available. No rooms have balconies.

Breakfast can be added at check-in for €15 per person. The menu includes full Irish and vegetarian options, and the quality is frequently praised. The L'Gueuleton restaurant is open daily from 10:30 to 22:00, serving European cuisine for brunch, lunch, dinner, and cocktail hour. The hotel is also connected to Hogans bar and The Bar With No Name, both popular spots. Many other bars and eateries are steps away.

The hotel offers free Wi-Fi throughout, with the password provided at check-in. A 24-hour reception handles late arrivals and offers help with taxis. Daily housekeeping is included, and luggage storage is free before check-in and after check-out. Safety deposit boxes are free. Board games are available. Irons and hairdryers are provided on request or in-room. Parking is not on-site, but the nearby Park Rite car park offers a reduced rate of €16 per 24h via the hotel. No spa, pool, or gym are present.
