“Close to the 3 Arena and well-served by the Luas tram, this is a modern hotel with an eye for detail. The rooms are comfortable and well-finished, and the brasserie-style restaurant holds its own. It strikes me as a good base for events or exploring Dublin.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Samuel Hotel is often praised for its convenient location, with the LUAS tram stop right outside providing easy access to the city centre; walking to the city centre takes about 34 minutes. Guests appreciate the modern, clean rooms and the varied breakfast. Some guests have found the room size a bit small for couples with lots of luggage. The hotel is also well-situated for concert-goers, with the 3Arena and Aviva Stadium within a short distance.

helpful reception beautiful layout excellent breakfast modern style

the reception guys were so helpful. the room had a beautiful layout. everything felt fresh! i really liked the excellent breakfast selection. it had a wide variety of choices. i also appreciated the modern style of the hotel. the accessibility to public transport was convenient for getting around. the tram stop nearby made site-seeing so easy.

The bar sometimes ran out of specific drink choices. the stock was limited. This happened a couple of times

luas stop city center access comfortable room online check-in manual check-in room credit

the luas stop is right outside the hotel. this provides invaluable access to the city center in minutes. the rooms were mostly super clean and comfortable.

i attempted online check-in. the machine did not work upon arrival at reception. i then had to check in manually. the main issue was that i had a credit on my stay and decided to use it to order a bottle of wine to the room.

a adequate hotel with some downsides

convenient location friendly staff hot room bright light

finding this spot wasnt hard at all. its location worked well for seeing the sights. i found the staff were kindly and professional people. the rooms had what i needed, like a hair dryer. the shower and beds were nice, too.

i noticed the rooms felt too warm. the aircon seemed to just blow warmer air instead of cooling things down. also, a light on the ceiling stayed on all night. it.

Acceptable Stay

many options helpful staff no fridge extra charge

The breakfast provided many options. The staff was friendly and helpful. I found the location convenient. It was close to public transportation. The room was modern.

The room had no fridge. I could not open the windows in the room. This seemed like a hazard. I paid in cash and was asked for an extra 100 euros. Paying with a card did not require this, it was not stated clearly to me.

friendly staff early check-in peaceful area hot room faulty aircon green light

The staff was very friendly. i was able to check in early, really convenient. the location was nice. It was a little out of the centre so the area was peaceful at night.

the room was far too hot, and the aircon only blew hot air! even when set at 19 degrees, it blew hot air. i could hear ac motors humming loudly all night. every room has a bright green ceiling light, so i couldn't sleep in a dark room.
