My partner & I are from Dublin but moved to Wicklow a few years ago. When we have family events or parties to attend in Dublin, we always book a hotel, and this week we went to see Rod Stewart at The O2 in Dublin.
I booked Wynn's because I knew it was on the Luas line and located centrally which would be handy for after the concert.
We arrived at the hotel in the afternoon to be greeted by a very polite and curteous receptionist, who quickly checked us in and gave us our room key. We were on the 3rd floor, and the charming brass lift took us up the floors. Our room, which we specifically requested be at the front of the hotel, was very nice.
A large double bed and one single bed beside it, dresser, wardrobe, bathroom and TV,,, nothing spectacular to describe here, but very clean and that's all that matters to us.
Our view was of Abbey Street, and it was ideal for us because we like being surrounded by the buzz of city life; if you're after a quieter rest, definitely request a room at the rear of the building. There was one slight problem when we arrived; we noticed the plug sockets beside the bed weren't working but after a quick word with the receptionist, she swiftly gave us an extension lead and all was well again.
We had our meal in Saints and Scholar's bar, located beside reception. A charming, elegant place to unwind with a drink or relax over dinner; we chose food from the carvery menu and it was the best carvery meal I've ever had.
There is a restaurant in the hotel, but we fancied something quick so that's why we chose the bar instead.
We went off to the concert (brilliant) and returned at 10.30pm, and decided to have a few drinks in the bar. The barman, Mark, was extremely polite and chatty and made us feel very welcome as we sat over two of the best pints of heineken we'd had in a long time.
We slept very well that night.
At breakfast, in the restaurant, we were welcomed by a very polite man with impeccable manners who told us to help ourselves to the breakfast table, while he returned with some tea/coffee.
My partner had kippers and said they were gorgeous, while I had some cereals and toast. Breakfast was a varied menu and enjoyed by us both.
Wynn's Hotel is located on Abbey Street on the Luas line; the Luas stop is right outside and the tram will take you right to the door of The O2 if you're going to a concert.
This hotel really impressed us and we will definitely return again.
The rooms are spotless, the staff are second to none, the food is beautiful and you're right in the heart of the city!
A winner all round!
