Oh Dear Lord above!!! Thank you for letting it only be one night I had to stay here!!!. Food in bar in evening time was nice,, and the people that understood what we were saying were nice. Only two friendly staff. The room was tiny - bathroom even smaller, and it was very hard to breathe as it was so stuffy. The heat in the hotel was just not natural. Couldn't open the window more than an inch. Exterior was awful. Had to get smoking room as one of party smokes and it was horrible in the corridors and room, the place really stank, no ventillation. The smoking is not the fault of the hotel owners though, I had just forgotten how horrible it had been before the smoking ban came in.(And I am an occasional one). Not worth the money - won't be going back in a hurry. No Way.

Rooms are OK. Looking at some of the previous reviews customer service did not improve a whole in the last couple of days. Guests don't seem to matter much at this hotel, rather they are a disturbanace - hotel policy is king, not supporting guests and providing them a good time. In my case I was summoned from my room to pay a bar bill in cash, that I put on my room. Problem was I had prepaid my room, so hotel personel obviouly expected me to leave without paying my bill. Nevertheless, I did not exactly stay there the first time. But I will be looking for other hotels for my stay in Dublin in the future.

I have been in Dublin many times and this was my first stay in the Mespil, I found the location pretty Good only a stroll from Temple Bar. I had Dinner in the Bar, and the food was fantastic, brilliant Bar Menu and plenty of thought put into it. I would definitely have no hesitation coming back here again, Fabulous well done.
