We stayed for two nights. We chose the Walton as it was within walking distance of Croke Park stadium and Dublin City centre. The price included a very reasonable breakfast and an evening meal was available as an extra if required. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This was useful as we left a bag in a taxi and had to make various telephone calls to aid its recovery. The hotel is not luxurious and the rooms at the front can be noisy in day light hours due to the traffic lights just outside. It has character however and the rooms are comfortable with sash windows. It was an ideal base for our first trip to Dublin which of necessity had to be as economic as possible. Hint don`t expect the bar to be cheap even in an inexpensive hotel.

wwe were in 126. Very small, very poorly maintained. beds on a slant, high claustrophobic windows. The heating is only put on in the evening for a couple of hours although it was cold and raining. Had to ask for extra blankets which were providedthat evening. Resteraunt is in cellar, cold and damp and uninviting. breakfast not too bad though. Go to cassidys, 100yds up the road. we did it was lovely

Had a fab time in The Walton's Hotel - the staff were ever so friendly and helpful. Gave us all bus/train/tour bus info we needed and recommended the best restaurants and clubs to go to at night time. The breakfast had to be the best part of our day - we were there for 4 nights and every morning the breakfast was superb, a huge big full plate topped with toast and a lovely cup of tea and orange juice. they even have fruit and yogurts too so we could take an apple or bananna with us in our pockets to keep for later. Our room was lovely and clean, it was modern enough but we loved the interior on the walls and ceilings. We had a lovely clean bathroom with a fantastic shower. We had a hairdryer in our room but our friends didn't in their room so they just asked for one from reception, including an iron and ironing board which they recieved almost straight away. The hotel has a beautiful stair case and the same carpet throughout the hotel which was really nice. they also have a lift which took us right to our 3rd floor room. We had great fun in the residents bar in the evenings with a warm, friendly and happy atmosphere. It is close to all amenities and i'd definately recommend this to anyone i know.

Well what can i say, I was over for the Scottish Rugby with a group of friends and had a great time.Croke Park only a short stroll away.Temple Bar only a short stroll away in the other direction. The staff were really friendly and couldn't help more with telling us where to head and what to see while we were here. The Breakfast was just what we needed to start the morning with a full breakfast or a lighter choice if we chose. Overall had a brilliant time in Dublin and would come back to the hotel and hope to meet the same staff again

Hotel clean, breakfast good BUT, yes there is a big BUT. Two problems: (1) We booked two rooms 7 days before we arrived and requested car parking space for one car (as advertised) When we arrived we were told the car park was closed for repairs so we were left to sort coins for parking meter fees on the busy road outside. They should have contaced us so we would be prepared.(2) This is the big one - it was a cold day in Jan 2008 and the rooms had no heat. It appears part of the heating system had broken down. We had to wear our overcoats and scarfs and my nose and feet were very cold. We reported the matter 3 times and was told it was being worked on. Even the next morning it was very cold. They did not offer to move us to rooms where the heating was working nor offer compensation. In fact we were asked to pay on arrival, not on departure, so had no idea the heating was not working. Wouldn't go back if you paid me.
