We stayed here earlier this week while on a shopping trip. Fabulous hotel with exqusite decor, clean and modern, homely and stylish. Zara and Desmond on reception are so friendly and welcoming and are clearly prepared to do anything to help the guests. Private, free parking around the back of the hotel is an added bonus. The room was decadent with super king size bed, jacuzzi bath and they even had an extra tap in the bathroom for "drinking water". Despite the location on a major road, the room was quiet and we had a balcony to the back of the hotel where we could sit and relax. We were given the most amazing room rate here when every other hotel in Ireland is ripping people off after the recent lockdown. I will definitely be staying here again and will never book anywhere else in Dublin. Highly rocommended.

The room was spotless and the staff was so nice they even walk you to your room. The room has a smart tv heated flooring in the bathroom a Bluetooth speaker and even provided face masks and hand sanitizer. It was only a short walk to Grafton street too. The breakfast was so good french toast and bacon.

I do not know how this hotel only has three stars. The room was beautifully decorated, king size comfy bed, 2 person sauna in the bathroom with a rainfall shower. Balcony fits 2 chairs and the small table from the room for an evening drink. The drinking water tap in the bathroom is a nice touch also when you wake up in the morning. Full Irish Breakfast only €12 great value. 5 minute walk to the local shop. 5 minute walk to Baggot street for an evening meal. The staff helped arrange flower in the room on our arrival and where very polite.

We stayed twice, at the beginning and end of our holiday, as the hotel is very well placed for the ferry. Both our rooms were extremely well furnished, quite opulent in fact, very comfortable and reasonably priced. On the down side, I received the same automatic email at least ten times, which contained a very oddly phrased section about what would happen if you vomit 'and do not do it in the toilet'! Is this really necessary? It made us wonder what sort of place it was if it needed to specify this! Surely it would be better to say ' If guests do not leave the room in an acceptable condition, a fine will be payable', or something similar? The major problem was over parking. Despite so many emails, we did not see any mention of where to park, so assumed it would be obvious on arrival. It was not - there is no indication that parking is round the back, and we approached on the wrong side of the hotel, very tired after a day's driving, and got lost in Dublin trying to find somewhere to turn round in heavy traffic. There was nowhere to pull in so that we could go inside and ask. Finally a passing guest directed us, where we found locked electric gates. It made for a very stressful start to the holiday. This information should be sent with every email, so that guests know to turn in before the hotel, and to expect to ask for a code at the gates. The other problem was that we were charged ten euros for parking on our second visit - again there is no mention of this in the email, and it was a shock as we had not been charged anything on our first visit.

We stayed 4 nights in the Executive Suite with our two young children this week.
The Roxford is a character-filled boutique hotel/b&b full of Irish charm and situated in one of the nicest areas of Dublin, the Georgian, embassy district of Ballsbridge.
The Executive Suite is very luxurious, with lots of space and a super comfy king bed(and super comfy fold-out beds for little ones if you need). There is a sauna, a spa and a balcony where you can watch the sunrise over Aviva Stadium.
Breakfasts are generous and great value. The full Irish was delicious, as was the Continental. The lady serving breakfast is charming and we enjoyed our conversations each morning.
You can walk to Merrion Sq or St Stephen’s Green within about 15/20 minutes. Elsewhere in the city (such as Temple Bar) we took a taxi.
The one downside to our stay, and the only reason we couldn’t give the Roxford 5 stars, was that unfortunately a previous guest had partied in the room the night before (28/12) so the Suite smelt heavily of smoke the entire 4 days. The first night it was almost unbearable. I’m tempted to say this is not the hotel’s fault, but despite the no smoking sign on the door, there was a large glass ashtray in the room when we arrived, so perhaps confirm before you stay that the Hotel is not providing people ashtrays to smoke in the room prior to your visit if this is an issue for you.
Other than that, we would highly recommend the Roxford Lodge Hotel!

The location was very convenient- it was our first time in Dublin and very easy to find our way around, plus there were bus stops both ways basically on the doorstep and places to eat nearby. We received a very warm welcome from the lovely receptionist on arrival and, even when the reception was vacant, upon being alerted, she made herself available straight away. We were very early so had a walk around town and I asked the hotel to let us know when the room was available, on the off chance that it was ready a bit earlier. They then called to let us know they’d managed to get it ready nearly 3 hours early at no extra cost! This was such a relief as we had travelled for a long time and were desperate for a nap before attending a concert. The room had a lot of character and everything was in working order. I love that there was an nespresso machine and some DVDs for us to watch. We didn’t get around to using it but the bath tub also had jets and the complimentary soaps smelled so good. A very pleasant and comfortable experience and we will certainly be returning!

Location is ideal to city center .we attended a gig in the 3ARENA which only cost €12 by taxi from the Roxford Lodge Hotel. Reception staff very welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious with all full facilities including a separate drinking water tap in the bathroom .we stayed in room 135 which was located at the back of the hotel with separate entrance but was very quiet and safe.Having their own carpark was great as we didn't have to worry about getting parked or getting clamped. Highly recommend this place and will certainly come back again .

We stayed in a family room for one night. The whole family were very pleased. It is much better than the Ballsbridge hotel nearby where we had also stayed for a night two years back. And the price is cheaper, too.
The ceiling is very high and we feel very roomy. The room is well decorated with beautiful lights. There is a very large TV which has internet, netflix (free), and youtube, etc. There is a DVD player with lots of discs. There is a dedicated router and internet speed is fantastic. There is also an air conditioning system for both hot and cold air. The room is quiet (face to the car park at the back) and nicely warm. Additionally, there is a fridge and a digital safe in the wardrobe. There are light strips in the wardrobe which is very practical.
The bathroom is well designed, too. It is underfloor heated. The towel hot rail is effectively a heater as well. There are two shower heads, one large and one medium. The water pressure is very good. So the shower is very comfy.
There is free private parking facility and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
One small drawback, the entrance to the show (bath) unit is a bit (just a bit) narrow and the hot rail is just on the right hand side before you enter the bath. It is difficult to avoid touching it when it is hot especially for family with children. My daughter had touched by accident and screamed for two mins (:D). But it can be very dangerous. Hope the management could redesign or put a sign there to prevent issues.
Overall, it is much better than we had expected and we will certainly come back next time when we need to stay in Dublin over night.

The room was very small for the money and considering the location. The room was however comfortable, with a comfy bed and a nice shower which are the most important things.
If it had either been closer to town or a bigger room, I'd have said it was better value. I think though it was expensive for it's location and room size. Our room was not shown in pictures on the website probably as it was the smallest and had a mis match of furniture.
It is close enough to the centre that you can walk in 30 mins or get a bus from right outside the hotel for 3 euro each.

What a beautiful quirky boutique hotel. The attention to detail in the room is fantastic. Definitely the nicest room I've ever stayed in. Dvd player and DVDs in the room, top of the range large smart TV, Aircon, UK & EU sockets, hdmi & usb outlets on both sides of the bed, safe and mini fridge, whirlpool bath, and my personal favourite a drinking water tap in the bathroom. Can't wait to return. Have to mention Des the owner, couldn't do enough for us, so friendly and down to earth. I left my kindle behind and he has offered to post it, what more can you ask for.

Hop on Hop off is quite useful to see the important bits including a run up to Phoenix Park and over the river to the top of O'Connell Street. We went on the Green Bus which I think is run by Dublin's bus service. The Commentary is interesting, funny and gives you a feel of the city centre as a whole, and you can stop off where ever you like to experience more. We don't usually do bus tours but this was great.
Sorry for the late reply, you’ve probably already been and gone to Ireland.
Ill answer this question incase any other travellers see the answer.
Its a 5-10min taxi ride into town. There are a ton of taxis driving around at decent prices.
We taxi’d everywhere and it was fine. Some of the drivers were real characters. The hotel will happily call you a cab anytime you want. They were incredibly helpful.
There are more places to choose from in the Dublin area.
