Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Andy was extremely friendly, helpful & patient, encouraging my 3 children to try different bikes & get ones they were comfortable with. The booking is very flexible, I wasn't sure if the children would keep going for 3 hours, but it was fine to book the hour option & extend it if we wanted. The automatic inclusion of helmets & locks is extremely helpful, as were the suggestions on where to try going. Having loved cycling around on a cold, windy January for a couple of hours, I would definitely recommend a day long booking in warmer weather. Hoping the covid restrictions ease soon & we can try the tandems though!!

The Phoenix Park is really very spacious, so we rented two e-bikes for three hours to explore the park. An hour's rental would not habe been enough for us. Three hours was ideal.
The contact with the lender was unproblemetic and very friendly.
The e-bikes were in great condition, fulöy charged und were really easy to ride. The paths in the Phoenix Park are well developed and therefore great to drive on.
Next time wr want to rent thr e-bikes fot a whole day and explore thr surrounding area (Wicklow Mountins).

I had a great time. The men who got me started on my electric assist bike patiently went over the best speed to ride it, and off I went. There was a light rain for a few minutes, but the sun broke through the clouds. I enjoyed every minute of my ride throughout the park and returned after 60 minutes without a second to spare. Great memory for me and I'm 76 years old feeling like a kid again.

Our experience with this bike rental company has not been good at all. We had a reservation for 10:00 in the morning (two bicycles and a stroller for our two-year-old daughter) but the day before we had a problem with the rental car when leaving the route and we arrived at 6:00 in the morning at our hotel. It was impossible for us to go at the reserved time. Since my command of English is not very good (and even less so by phone) I tried to contact them by email (I sent the email the night before waiting for the tow truck) to see if it was possible to change the reservation for the next day but they did not answer me . The Dublin hotel did us the favor of calling the company, so I did receive a response. They told me that they had everything booked for the next day and asked me to suggest another date. I wrote to them again suggesting another day but they did not respond and I insisted again demanding a response. I don't see it as fair that you can't change the date of a reservation that's already been paid, but, above all, I think that the customer service leaves a lot to be desired since they don't even respond to emails. We were left wanting to see the park and on top of that we lost the reservation money.

This could have been really nice experience but the service needs a LOT of work. The member of staff was very rude and the tandem bike was in poor condition. Really unacceptable especially at 12 Euro for the hour.

He seemed annoyed I asked for the saddle to be raised as I am tall, wheras this should be the BARE MINIMUM of adjustment provided. He did not offer a map or the use of a multitool.

He did not tighten the seat post collar properly once adjusted so the saddle kept slipping and twisting. On a tandem having this improperly set up is dangerous as it creates balance issue for the rear rider as their bars are attached to the seatpost. Again they did not offer when asked the use of a multitool for the hours ride.

The bike was in pretty poor condition. In particular the brakes needed tightening to stop reliably and the gears were well out of index so wouldn't shift reliably. Everything was greasy and in need of a clean. Hire bikes are often dodgy but this was one of the worse i've ever had.

Let the mechanic know at the end and he obviously didn't give a sh*t. Unacceptable service and really irresponsible given they're renting bikes with major problems out to tourists for use on public roads without properly checking adjustment.

Hi Yorkshire Terrier We are are really sorry to hear of your poor experience at Phoenix Park Bikes! We have had a chat with the member of staff in question after reading your review. Before any bike goes out for rent - always gears & brakes are checked and the saddle is adjusted to suit. It goes without saying the Tandem saddles are always adjusted to suit both front and back passengers. We never give out multitools to customers. The staff member is always on hand to re adjust if the customer is unhappy with height. Again, let me say - we are truly sorry for your experience. We are open 7 days a week, 364 days a year - not to take from your experience but it is rare for our staff to get bad reviews. We take your experience on board and endeavour to improve from all customer feedback.

The guys at Pheonix Park Bikes offer an excellent service and at a very reasonable price. I hired a bike for 3 hours at a cost of €10 although you would easily spend the entire day exploring the vast Phoenix Park.

The bike I hired was in very good condition and appeared to be well maintained. They also prived helmets and high visibility vests. There was a range of different bikes that cater for all ages including kiddie trailers..

I would very highly recommend Pheonix Park Bikes but the location is the star of the show, the Pheonix Park is a beautiful scenic location in the heart of Dublin and is a fantastic way to spend a nice sunny day.. if your lucky 😁.

This is the perfect way to see the park and excellent value for money.
Couple observations for the nice folk who run the operation in relation to online bookings - it would be good if the confirm email included details of your booking such as time and date for us forgetful types. I would also recommend that you make it clear when booking that you are expected to bring photo ID which was a bit of a surprise when I arrived.

The process to rent a bike is really quick (be sure to have internet on your mobile). Friendly staff. I recommend electric bikes if you want to go through the entire park, is very big and has quite a few heavy hills.

Exactly what we needed! Rented 3 bikes for 3 hours for 10 euros. The 3 guys that ran the place were very friendly and nice.

We arrived right at 10am and they were not quite open yet, so I’d recommend arriving around 10:15am. The bikes were also not super high quality- they were not fitted to us very well.

If you’re looking for a leisurely bike ride in the park, these guys will help you out!

Do not go here if you value your safety. The breaks on both bikes were not very good when we got them. This resulted in a collision with another bike as I couldn’t stop in time as i was on an E-Bike. The owner charged €70 for repairs to the bike. And didn’t even make us fill out an incident report which is very strange for a company like this.

WILL NOT EVER BE RETUNING!
