Authentic Irish hotel, perfect Temple Bar location

Nice, welcoming, reasonably priced hotel in the heart of the Temple Bar neighborhood. We only had one afternoon/evening to enjoy a whirlwind visit to Dublin in between flights. Blooms was the perfect starting point for a quick walking tour past the Castle, Cathedral, Trinity College, statues, rivers, parks, etc; as well as bars and restaurants afterwards.

Bar staff Disappointed

Hotel bar staff was very disappointing. When a paying customer doesn’t get a drink past 11 pm on a Saturday night then it’s a sign of bad times. Everyone was asked to leave before any last orders were called.

British Airways cancelled my flights to Ireland and completely ruined my 4 planned days in Belfast and Dublin. Every service EXCEPT Blooms Hotel refunded my payment: flights, theatre tickets, train tickets and Belfast Hotel. Blooms Hotel refuses to refund me for the 2 nights I could not be in Ireland, let alone Dublin. This is NOT my fault and Blooms hotel does not care.

Excellent location, good price, clean room. A bit of noise can be heard from the street but very, very mild. My only complaint is after 12 hours of flying we arrived at noon and requested an early check-in (check in is at 3). The front desk stated there were no rooms available at the moment and to come back at 2pm. No problem, I totally understood. I came back at 2:15 and was told to come back at 3. Rooms were ready but she wasn't checking anyone in until 3. Not a huge deal, but a little annoying especially when she waited until three on the dot to start checking everyone who is waiting in. Overall good stay and would return to this hotel.

The Blooms is in a terrific location - Temple Bar - but you have to accept that the are is noisy. And not just on the weekend. I use a white noise machine to mask outside noise, but still had to close the windows every night because of the noise from the BACK side of the hotel (furthest away from the bars!) The drunker people got, the louder they got and people literally screaming at 2am was a nightly occurrence. Overall, the hotel is nice - and the staff was wonderful - but the bed left much to be desired. It was hard - very hard and quite uncomfortable - and since you get a hotel primarily for sleep, it has to weigh heavily in my review. I ended up doubling up the comforter and sleeping on it with just a small, light blanket over me. The other issue was the TV and WiFi - which are connected issues. For the first several nights, all I could get on my TV was Netflix and YouTube. No Irish TV at all. Fine - except that the internet connection (both for my phone and for the TV) was spotty at best and kept pausing or cutting out entirely. Not a huge issue but it would have been nice to watch a little TV at the end of the day. Okay - so that's the negative. The room was plenty big and the bathroom was clean and well stocked. The elevators were large enough for several people with luggage and they ran perfectly. I didn't have breakfast in the hotel. Overall, Blooms was nice - but they need to replace those beds.

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo albergo 3 notti (dal 1 al 3 novembre). Per un mio errore credevamo di aver prenotato anche la quarta notte. Quindi consapevoli di ciò nn abbiamo effettuato il check-out il giorno e l’orario previsto, o meglio abbiamo effettuato il check-out 4 ore dopo. Tutto ciò sottolineo fatto in buonafede . L’albergo per questa nostra svista ha pensato bene di trattenere 50€ di caparra versata al check-in senza aver in nessun modo cercato di contattarci ne telefonicamente ne via e-mail. Offrendoci ( per nn perdere le 50€) la notta aggiuntiva alla modica cifra di 230€ quando la quotazione di booking era di 190€!!!!!! Inoltre durante la notte precedente un ospite dell’albergo si è sentito male e ha dato di stomaco difronte la nostra camera e, malgrado l’avessimo fatto subito presente la mattina ,nel pomeriggio ancora nn aveva pulito in modo adeguato . A mio avviso questi comportamenti sono ingiustificabili e nn aiutano la struttura a farsi una buona pubblicità. Peccato saremmo potuti essere dei buoni clienti in quanto x motivi personali ci capiterà spesso di soggiornare a Dublino!!! Vania

Le sobran estrellas

Teniendo en cuenta que me han retenido una cantidad importante de dinero y que no han sabido darme una explicación para solucionarme el problema... El hotel precioso por fuera pero por dentro antiguo. Necesita una reforma urgente, sobre todo, el baño. En comparación con nuestros hoteles, este no pasa de ser una pensión. Nuestra habitación no tenía aire acondicionado y si abrías la ventana para no cocerte, había mucho ruido (y no precisamente de los pubs). Sin lugar a dudas, lo único bueno la ubicación.

Séjour parfait super localisation

Parfait, très bien placé pour la vie nocturne ainsi que les excursions, tout à moins de 5 minutes de marche. On avait le distributeur de gel douche cassé mais ils nous ont donné des petites bouteilles de gel douche en compensation. La télécommande ne marchait pas ils se sont déplacés de suite. Le seul bémol c'est la pression de la douche on s'est lavé pendant 6 jours avec un filet d'eau. Mais je n'ai rien à dire de plus nous avons passé un super séjour dans cet hôtel.

Bra/OK men beror på vad ni söker

Vistelsen var bra, lagom stort rum för 2 personer, centralt men lyhört den låg på bargatan (vilket vi visste) men ljud utifrån gatan hördes in genom rummen och även ut i hotellkorridoren. Dock stördes jag personligen inte av detta men gör någon det erbjuder hotellet öronproppar, sambon hade med egna pga mina snarkningar. Sängen vi hade var väldigt obekväm efter 3 natten, vi kände fjädrarna från madrassen över hela kroppen och började få ont i ryggen/kroppen. Så är man äldre än oss (35+) så kan det kanske upplevas ännu mer smärtsamt. Städpersonalen städade dagligen, det är bra att kunna ha den möjligheten, vi valde att få städat 2 av våra 5 dagar (don't disturb skylt övriga dagar). Vår valda städdag hade vi vänligt ställt en knuten plast påse med skräp vi samlat på oss med "frukostskräp" tex tomma take -away kaffemuggar från vår morgonkaffe. Den placerades strategiskt vid rummets papperskorg som en schysst gest och lätt för städ att ta med i samband med rengöring av rummet när personal byter handdukar och soppåse I rummets egna skräphink. Detta stod dock kvar hela veckan.. Och det finns inga större papperskorgar på hotellet. Så det är minus. Boendet var "dyrt" för det man fick, dock är det dyrare nu överallt pga post-covid. Överlag är vi nöjda och haft det bra, men är du ute efter bekvämlighet, tysthet och lite mer "lyx“ i centraltläge, välj annat. Jag kan dock tänka mig boka detta igen, men endast för 3 nätter. Sängens kvalitet var för dåligt för 5 hela dagar.

Loved the colorful facade! Staff were uniformly friendly and pleasant. The desk clerk who checked us in at 11am gave us early room access without our having to ask. Breakfast was great. All around excellent place to stay after an overnight flight. Area is noisy, but it didn't affect our ability to sleep.

We chose this hotel because of the pub and nightclub located there. Imagine our disappointment to find it closed the whole time due to “staffing” shortage. The hotel itself was nice. Walking distance to everything. They should have mentioned that it did not offer what it advertised. Ie: pub etc
