Jurys Inn Parnell Street

Comment

Only suitable if you are in a hen/stag party and don't care where you are sleeping. A triple room has 1 single and 1 double bed. The double bed is not big enough for two people to share. There were only 2 towels and 2 mugs in the room, so that implies they normally sell it as a twin room. The hotel managers were not accommodating, their response was to shrug their shoulders and blame Just One Hotel and they said they couldn't do anything about it. The location is not good. It's round the corner from O'Connell Street, which is scary during the day time nevermind night time.

Thai Orchid at the start of the Temple Bar is very nice (a bit pricey though). Cafe en Seine on Dawson Street is a must see! Stay away from Temple Bar, unless you are on a stag/hen party... it's hell on earth if you're just looking for a quiet drink with some native Irish people. It's the location you're most likely to get mugged in. The Brazen Head (Dublin's oldest pub) is also well worth a visit - with live music, an outside courtyard (partially covered) and a good mixture of young & old Dubliners, it's the best place to soak up the craic!

Non-smoking room was requested but smoking room allocated. The reception was contacted- very helpful and offered a non-smoking room.

Do purchase 'day ticket' from the airport which allows unlimited bus travel including airport-city transfer(We bought 3 day's ticket). Would recommend Wicklow-Glendaloch day tour. Tickets can be purchased online through daytours unplugged site. Ghost bus- A bit too pricey for 25 euro ticket!

Comment

When booking for three people you would expect three single beds, as a double, sofa bed and camp bed was very cramped in the room.

Book tables in restaurants as very busy at temple bar

Plenty restaurants and entertainment around Temple Bar or Bus tours to places of interest all on the doorstop

A great Location for seeing Dublin. Far enough away from the heart of the hustle and bustle of Temple Bar and yet walkable in 5/10 mins.

Johnnie Foxes is a truly irish experience, its a little way out of Dublin city centre up in the mountains but its well worth the trip!

The hotel was new and in a very conveneint position. They let us check in early and keep the room a little later on check out day which was really helpful.

Lots to see, the city bus tour was the best way to get around. The Guiness factory tour is a MUST!!!

We arrived about 6pm, no bother, hotel prepaid; wrong! Room was stinking, and I mean stinking of smpke, a pipe or cigar and this Ireland where no smokoinis allowed anywher inside public places. Only one other room available, essentially a single one with a smaller bad. Promise to change the room next day. Met with same person next morning to confim the cahnge and was told no problems. Returned trhat night and no rooms available and no note of our request. REoom remade that morning for 1 person, towels etc which we noticed that next morningf when we were rushing to leave to catch flight. We complained at check out but received a sorry but too late to do anything! Not a good deal. Don't use this hotel, find another

Pleasant and comfortable bedroom. Dinner in the dining room was excellent both evenings.Bar also serves food throughout the day. Hotel is situated just off O'Connell Street and within walking distance of many sights, shops and restaurants. The river is at the bottom of O'Connell Street.

Gym facilities and a Sauna would have been good although if I was travelling to Dublin again, I would certainly stay here again.

Temple Bar is a must as is the Arlington. We ate in a Chinese off Grafton Street which was lovely and reasonably priced.
