Brooks Hotel charms guests with its classic and stylish vibe, but some visitors suggest the rooms could use a refresh and note occasional noise disruptions. The central location is a hit among travelers, offering easy access to Dublin's key attractions and vibrant nightlife. While the rooms are kept clean and comfortable, critics often describe them as outdated and cramped.
Opinions on value are divided; some guests find the pricing fair, but others are not convinced, given the amenities provided. However, the hotel's service consistently receives high marks for the staff's warm and attentive approach.

I liked the hotel. It definitely needed an update regarding the rooms and hallways which it is getting now. We got a bit of a surprise when we stepped out of the elevator and found the hallway to our room lined with cleaning products; it did not look inviting at all. As usual for Europe, the room was smallish and a powerbar and long extension cord (provided by the hotel) were necessary to plug in my friend's CPAP machine but I found this quite typical of older hotels in Europe. The bathroom had the usual tub shower combo with the tub being narrow and deep which could be a bit treacherous. Also, our room was freezing when we arrived (even though it was cold and raining outside) but an employee managed to get the heat going and the room was comfortable after that. The staff were really good in the dining room at breakfast and particularly at the bar and in Francesca's next to Reception. We ate here almost every evening and found the food quite good. I loved the comfortable living room type seating. The location of this hotel is one of the best, being close to Grafton Street, St Stephen's Green, the churches and Trinity College as well as the Temple Bar area. For this reason, we did not change hotels when we returned but we did manage to get a larger room with an Italian walk in shower. The room, however, was for three people with a double bed and a single so was quite crowded. I'm sure that the refurbishment will rectify some of these issues.

Great central location and cordial staff, especially Conner the Bellman who warmly greets you by name every time you return. The room was comfortable but somewhat noisy with the window open as it faced out onto the street. They could do a better job in the housekeeping department as a large toe nail clipping was found on the bathroom floor upon our arrival which necessitated an additional cleaning of our bathroom. Additionally, there were no facial tissues in the room and the front desk assured us some would be brought to the room, however that never happened. Excellent breakfast buffet.

Dear goingmyway4429, Thank you for your recent review on your stay with us. I am delighted that you enjoyed the location of the hotel and meeting Conor and the team. I am sincerely sorry that the bathroom was not up to standard upon arrival and upon checking have learned that the room was returned earlier than it should have been before final checks were done. As a result the Tissues were also not replaced. They should have been upon request and we take on board your feedback and will ensure re training and an improvement on the communication within the team. I am glad that you enjoyed the breakfast and do hope we get the opportunity to welcome you back on another occasion. If you are returning prior to your trip home we would be delighted to hear from you. Yours sincerely , Anne Mc Kiernan

This was our first trip to Dublin and we wanted a hotel with a central location, good ratings and near several places to eat and of course drink. Although the hotel warned us there was renovation construction ongoing on the first and second floor but would be kept to daylight hours, we only heard an occasional hammering in the late morning. The accommodations are very nice and our room appeared to have been recently upgraded. The central facilities like reception desk, restaurant and lobby are very nice and comfortable. As this was our first visit to Ireland, we cannot really compare this hotel to others in Ireland, but without question the best feature of this hotel are the staff members. In particular was Connor who seems to work the front door, lobby and even the restaurant. When checking in after a red eye flight from Florida, our room was not ready, but Connor introduced himself, asked our names, took care of our luggage and sat us down in the restaurant for a cup of coffee or tea recognizing our fatigue. During the entire visit, he recognized us, greeted us by name and inquired if he could be of any service to us. He made great restaurant recommendations, assisted us in the correct pronunciation of KIlmainham Gaol, ordered us taxis as needed, and directed us to his favorite bookstore when he learned we lost our copy of Rick Steve's Best of Ireland (which we used to plan our entire week long visit to Ireland). If we could not find a copy, he even offered to give us his personal copy of the book he had at home. Fortunately we could download an online copy and declined his generous offer the next morning. The front desk staff and even the housekeeping staff were always pleasant, friendly and helpful. Maybe all hotel staff in Ireland are like this, but since this was the only Irish hotel experience for us - we cannot compare them to other Irish hotels. However, we have experienced MANY hotels in the USA (Hawaii - our home, Napa, Sonoma, NYC, Boston, DC, SF, LA, Miami, etc) as well as the world (Scotland, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Mexico, Tahiti and French Polynesia) and the staff at the Brooks were one of the best if not the best. Connor is certainly the clear leader among all we have ever met. The hotel was a wonderful discovery and the staff, in particular Connor, made it a wonderful visit. We will definitely return here if visiting Dublin again.

This is either my 4th or 5th stay in this hotel. I was disappointed with the room this time the decor was dark and it was back of hotel with noise from generators all night so if you are a light sleeper like me be prepared. However the room & bathroom were clean The breakfast I was prepared for not a great variety and at 8.30am they were out of watermelon. However the hot food is good except one morning I could see plates left for collection & it happened to be ours & both were just lukewarm. The staff were all very helpful and friendly especially the reception staff and the booking staff Would I go back maybe but definitely a front room requested

Responded 22 May 2024
Dear Sardee, I hope you are well and firstly thank you for returning to Brooks a number of times. We very much appreciate our regular guests. I am sorry to hear on this occasion we didn't reach our normal high standards. As you probably know we do have a number of different room types with different decor styles and we have rooms to both the front and back of the hotel. I am sorry to hear that you were disturbed by what you describe as a generator. I would understand that this may have been from a fan in a neighboring premises that was left on overnight in error as in general they switch off near 10pm if not earlier. We will certainly investigate to ensure the matter does not re occur. Regarding breakfast I am sorry that your choice was somewhat limited. The watermelon should have been replaced while you were dining. We do cook breakfast to order and prior to collection by a team member it is held under the lights to ensure it stays warm. We will ensure to get the bulbs checked as it should have been served at the correct temperature. I am unsure if you mentioned it to the team at the time as they could have replaced the breakfast for you. I am glad that you found the team helpful and friendly. I do hope that you will return to us and we can certainly allocate a front room if that is your preference. If you can let us know the next time you plan to stay with us and we can organise that for you. I hope I get the opportunity to meet you the next time you stay with us. yours sincerely , Anne Mc Kiernan

I was very disappointed in my stay at the Brooks hotel. I had reserved 2 rooms far in advance and when we arrived at 4p one of the rooms was not ready even though check-in time is 3p. We were told it would be ready in 30 minutes but at 5p it was still not ready. When we returned from visiting Trinity college at 9p the front desk took 20 minutes to find the paperwork my friend had completed at 4p. No apologetic gestures were offered and we were told this happened because they had a big meeting there that day. The next day, another group of people had a similar problem. Once we received our rooms, they were no where close to each other despite booking them together. The WiFi worked only very sporadically, the shower was so small my husband could not move once in it, the shower door hinge was misaligned, the TV remote in my friend’s room did not work (another guest had the same issue the day we checked in). For what they charge per room, these are not issues that should have occurred and when issues do occur, I would expect the staff to go out of their way to make it right. The hotel is clean and located close to many of the tourist sites, bars, and restaurants. However, I will not be returning to the Brooks Hotel after this experience.

Dear AnitahL1727YV, Thank you for your review which was disappointing to read and at the outset I am sorry that your check in was delayed and not to our normal high standards. We do our best to have the rooms ready by 3pm and indeed where possible we check guests in earlier than this time. Unfortunately on the day you arrived we did experience delays but this should have been communicated better to you than described. Having followed up with the team I understand that the reason why there was a delay in the evening was due to the fact that the rooms were checked in earlier in the day under the same sir name. In receiving a different sir name later that evening the team could not locate the booking. I understand our communication should have been clearer around this to prevent any delays for you. I fully appreciate that the issues you describe should not have occurred and all were fixable. I was sorry to hear that you would not return and hope you will re consider as I have no doubt we can provide the service and standards you expect. I hope you will see from the reviews that we receive that we do prioritise our guest needs. I understand that on this occasion you did not experience that and I am sincerely sorry and assure you if you return we will ensure you are looked after. I truly hope we will get the opportunity to welcome you back on another occasion. Yours sincerely, Anne Mc Kiernan Anne Mc Kiernan

We stayed at the Brooks for 4 nights in early December. The interior of the hotel was decorated festively for Christmas, but we were a bit disappointed that the outside didn't look like the photos on the website (with lots of additional Christmas lights). However, knowing what a struggle hotels have had in the past few years, that wasn't a big deal. Our room was nicely appointed, had a good view (room 608), and although we could hear a bit of street noise on Saturday night, from outdoor revelers on nearby Fade Street, nothing overly disturbing from inside or out.
We had purchased the room with breakfasts included and were glad we did as there was a very nice continental spread as well as a hot breakfast menu included. We never ate other meals at the hotel, but enjoyed the ambiance of the bar area one evening.
This hotel was walk-able to everything in central Dublin. We have stayed over by Christ Church and off O'Connell Street on other Dublin stays, but while those locations were convenient, this proved the best. We bought a 3-day Leap Visitor card to get around when walking would have been a bit far (like our visit to the Botanical Garden and Glasnevin cemetery). Unfortunately that didn't include the Dublin Express bus route from the airport (an additional 7 euro each way). We got off at Wellington Quay and the walk was less than 10 minutes to the hotel.
The hotel had a nice basement lounge that was a bit under-used. A "fire" in the fireplace down there would have been nice. Or, they might add a printer/business desk there for guests, since one was no longer available.
We didn't try any of the fitness offerings.
This is someplace we would stay again.

A well placed boutique style hotel in the centre of Dublin situated opposite a 24hr multi story car park, which offers a reduced rate for hotel customers. A few minutes walk away from Grafton Street and St. Stephens green etc. Pleasant decor, and very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast offered available in light airy dining room. Hot breakfast selection cooked to order. Bedrooms well appointed, comfortable beds, and very quiet, could not hear any street noise due to the well insulated windows. Ideally placed for both business and pleasure when visiting Dublin.

Our experience started at check-in. The young lady checking us in appeared annoyed and her attitude towards us was no different. This seemed to be a continuing theme with most of the hotel employees during our stay for 3 nights.
Our room was less than acceptable. We requested a King Room and received a Double Occupancy Room with a Queen and single bed. We highly recommend you bring slippers. The carpet in the room was less than desirable. The many stains throughout the room showed the age of the hotel.
When we got back to the room after 9pm to go to bed one night, we realized the cleaning service had failed to put a mattress protector on the bed. When we asked to have it fixed, it required multiple trips from the front desk person to understand what it was that we were talking about. It was finally remedied, but not without a great deal of frustration.
Our several dining experiences, 2 breakfast, 1 dinner, 1 sitting for cocktails, was disastrous. The hosts were unattentive, and slow to respond to requests. Simple requests like asking for Napkins, a Glass of Ice, or even an extra set of dinnerware was unsuccessful. Our first night at dinner, our server was agast with our order. He huffed, and rolled his eyes when we only ordered appetizers.
Our overall experience was not pleasant. In most cases, the initial answers to requests were,"No, we don't do that". Only after pushing back on a few needed things did the staff agree to help.
The one shining aspect of the hotel was the elevators. They were prompt at call, and swift for arrival to the requested floor.
Two stars were awarded because of the great elevators, the comfortable bed, and the consistent and quiet A/C system that kept the room at the perfect temperature.

Excellent accommodations and service. This is what I would call a boutique hotel, but our Deluxe room had more space than expected, but far less than a suite that would get at an embassy suites or residence inn. Overall the service, room, location, staff was on the high side of my scale. Clean and well conceived were the rooms. The breakfast included in our package was excellent. From the time we arrived to the time we left, the staff was pleasant and welcoming. We checked in over Three hours early. They we're just very accommodating even when they could not come up with an answer or did not know. Located within way walking distance to many of the local attractions. We walked everywhere. There was parking available directly across the street, but we arranged through Costco to have Enterprise deliver it auto on our last day. This was the first stop in our countryside Irish self drive tour.

Have stayed numerous times and the hotel and staff never fail to disappoint, infact I fall in love with it more every time I stay. Myself and my friend stayed for the Coldplay concert in Dublin, not only was it the only hotel which wasn't an extortionate price, but the hotel was very busy however this didn't effect the level of service. Anne, the general manager makes time for each guest, asking how they are getting on and checking in when she can. She took the time to ask what our plans were when we were checking out and gave recommendations for things to do at our next location. All staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, traits which can be lost in a big city hotel. The breakfast is one of the nicest hotel breakfasts in Ireland and the beds are probably the most comfortable I have slept in. I parked in the carpark facing the hotel which was only 16Euro for an overnight stay, unheard of in Dublin. I look forward to returning to Brooks.
