Walk into the beautiful lounge area, afternoon tea being served and welcoming staff. A quick check in and headed to my room, beautiful, plenty of natural light, original features and a bathroom that offered a great shower and room to actually swing a cat in! I travel a lot and for me a good nights sleep and great breakfast always gets my vote - I had a totally restful sleep followed by a delicious breakfast of bacon (crispy) poached egg, mushroom and roasted tomatoes. Great central location offering easy wanking to all the major shops. Would i stay again - absolutely,
We wrapped up a nearly 2 week visit to the North of Ireland by spending our last two days in Dublin at The Fleet. We have another hotel that is our "go-to" for visits to Dublin but it was fully booked this time and we weren't sure about picking an alternate. The Fleet turned out to be ideal for us. Convenient not only to Temple Bar but also to all of the other important sites of Dublin. The hotel was extremely comfortable and well appointed with fabulous breakfast and a convenient lobby bar to relax after a day out and about. As is the case with many older hotels worldwide, the floors are not contiguous meaning that there are various up and down short stairways to remain on a single floor. Also a little difficult to arrive in a car due to all of the "taxi only" and "bus only" lanes around the hotel. We will definitely put the Fleet on our list of hotels for future visits to Dublin.…
Lovely hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nicely decorated and welcoming lobby. Rooms were typical city sized with well appointed bathroom. Saw a lot of reviews about street noise but did not hear any of it. We had outside room, but they do offer inside rooms that are apparently more quiet. Very good breakfast with made to order eggs. In my opinion Temple bar is not a great area to stay in, but this hotel is on the edge of that area.
A beautiful hotel with a fabulous breakfast, gorgeous lobby with a bar to get a drink after a day of exploring. I hate to even add this because it's not the hotels fault its in the heart of temple bar but it is incredibly loud at night. If it is cool enough to close windows at night it would help but it wasn't quite cool enough when we stayed for that. The hotel staff, beautiful architecture, and charm make up for it but it is a factor to consider. Additionally rooms and bathrooms are very small but I don't spend much time in it outside of sleeping anyway when on vacation.
Returned to the Fleet with a friend for a night out during the half term -we didn’t use the bar on this occasion as we had dinner plans in city centre -location excellent for this.stayed in a lovely elegance room and breakfast the next morning was excellent as it had been previously -few new additions also making it better !
Very convenient, comfortable rooms (could use an extra hook for towels), helpful and friendly staff. Pleasant bar/lounge area. We were here on a bank holiday weekend, and the taxi driver advised us to ask for a quiet room as the area can get quite loud. It was not possible to switch rooms, but in the end not an issue -- the rooms were perfectly quiet.
We are here on Day 2 of a 3 day stay. 3 rooms , mixed age group from 24 to 67. Cannot recommend highly enough. Staff so welcoming , cannot do enough to help . Clean rooms, exceptional breakfast (book in advance for best deal ) . Location perfect and amazing afternoon tea . We will be returning!
The lobby, bar, and restaurant of the hotel are beautiful and appear to be newly renovated. While the design is pretty, the hotel is lacking a bit in other areas. Their cleaning schedule is random and erratic. They may come at 9 am or they may come at 4pm. This may not bother you, but when I walked into my hotel room at 4pm and heard a knock for cleaning, I was a bit irritated. Then, after the cleaning, another woman, who I assume was management knocked to ask if my room was cleaned. I feel like that’s something that should be handled between staff, but there’s a bit of a lack of communication it seems. Because I also asked the lady at the front desk for a breakfast to go for the next morning, because I would miss breakfast time. She agreed and told me to pick it up the next morning. The next morning, I went to pick it up, there was a not front desk attendant, and he had no idea what I was talking about. To me, little details like that separate 3 stars from 4. Also, it’s a bit loud, because it’s in the middle of temple bar, plus the heater is just extremely loud. If all of that doesn’t bother you, go for it. The location is spectacular!…
The Fleet Hotel is a quiet oasis in hectic and noisy Temple Bar. A wonderful lobby with glowing fireplaces make you want to spend an afternoon reading a book or chatting with a friend. My room was generously proportioned and the front desk service was friendly and helpful. The lobby is especially lovely, with a quiet bar and and a welcoming quality. It's walking distance to many of the highlights of Dublin, and close enough to the action of Temple Bar, but far enough away to avoid the noise. If in Dublin again, I'd make the Fleet Hotel my home. Oh, there is a lovely outdoor terrace which would be wonderful in good weather.
This hotel was our last stop on a road trip through Ireland. We dropped our rental car as we didn't want to attempt maneuvering through Dublin. Because of that, we had to carry all of our belongings from the trip through the hotel. When we arrived we commented on how beautiful the lobby was, and were excited to get to our room. The front desk person, told us to go to the 3rd floor and we'd have a few stairs to get to our room. Keep in mind we have quite a bit of luggage, we headed up the lift to three, and proceeded down a flight of stairs, walked down a corridor and were lost. With help from a housekeeper we found we missed our turn. So we went down another corridor and down a few steps, to find that we needed to carry our luggage up 3 very narrow flights of steps to get to our room. The room was clean, but a a bit dated. The bathroom was small, poorly lit, and the shower drain did not drain as quickly as the shower water ran causing a spill over in to the floor with every shower. Every step was a loud creak from the floorboards, it didn't really bother us, I just felt bad for anyone that might be under us. As for location, it's perfect for getting to Temple Bar, Trinity, and lots of other great tourist spots. The staff was mostly helpful and friendly.…
