Friendliest staff of our trip so far. Basic room, quite acceptable. Clean. On main intersection, so not the quietest. Night club in basement, again, not too bad. Plenty if supermarkets for alcohol and snacks if u want a night in. Overall good.

I was in a 3 day business trip to Dublin and wanted somewhere affordable, well located and nice to stay. The Portobello was perfect. The room was of a high quality, and looked to have been recently refurbished, the location was excellent and the stay overall was exactly what I was looking for but exceeded expectations for the price paid....

Although the location is good and a Funky part of town, street noise was a problem even on a Wed night, not to mention room to room noise. The bed was an old spring mattress which is surprising considering that's a small upgrade cost to a Hotel and the reason we didn't stay at a nearby Hostel. We pre-booked for... More

We had a really great stay. Everyone at the hotel and pub were really nice. The location was really convenient for us as we needed to be midway between Trinity Hall and City Centre.

I was only in Dublin for one night and I chose this location to be within walking distance of the car rental place...as I did not want to drive through "downtown" Dublin...especially with my first experience driving on the left side. It's kind of a hike to get up to Trinity Bar and the like, if that is your focus,... More
