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.

The Dublin Citi Hotel provided a comfortable and convenient base for my recent trip to Ireland. Its prime location in the heart of Temple Bar made it effortless to explore the city, popping in and out throughout the day. The room, while basic, was always impeccably clean, and the housekeeping staff was clearly very respectful of our belongings. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to store our luggage before check-in.
One thing to note is that the hotel is attached to the Trinity Pub on the ground floor. Consequently, some nights it was challenging to sleep due to the live music coming from the pub below. It's worth noting that there was a big college football game on during our visit, so the noise may have been amplified by an influx of American fans. Thankfully, they do provide earplugs in the room. Also, the shower was quite narrow. Other than that, the hotel suited my needs perfectly. I was looking for a well-located room with two beds for my brother and me, and it delivered. We spent most of our time exploring Ireland on day trips, returning to the hotel each night to recharge before starting all over again the next morning. It was a bonus having a pub just downstairs if we ever wanted to grab one more round of pints before bed.
Overall, I'd recommend the Dublin Citi Hotel for its fantastic location, cleanliness, and friendly service. Just be prepared for some potential noise if you're a light sleeper.

What you expect from a inner city hotel in the middle of the entertainment centre, small but clean rooms over a busy bar restaurant which has live music until 01.30 at weekends/holidays. You pay for what you get. Be aware the street is noisy almost all night. Fire alarm went off at 01:50 it was a false alarm apparently,however next morning the incoming staff were not aware of it and no allowances were made to guests who had their sleep disrupted. More could have been done.

The hotel was in a great location, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean. My complaint with the room was the shower was so tight to get into that my 23 year old 135 lb. daughter had a hard time squeezing into the shower. The shower was a tiny square, with sliding glass doors that came together. Any large person would NOT be able to squeeze into it. If you dropped something, it was staying on the floor.

I normally stay at a Hyatt when I can, but decided to go with a more economical boutique option central to where I wanted to be for my short visit to Dublin. Surprisingly, decent hotel accommodations are quite expensive and given that I wasn't going to spend much time in the room, I went for Dublin Citi Hotel for it's price point and decent reviews.
Location wise, it was easy to take the airport bus and get off at the Temple Bar stop and walk a couple blocks to the hotel which sits on the corner of a busy thoroughfare.
The main pro is its central location in Temple Bar area and easy walking to points of interest such as Trinity College and to bus stops. There are some great vintage shops on the street next to it where I bought a nice coat within 30 mins of checking into hotel. Also easy walk to other bars and restaurants and shops.
Single room was very cozy and it really motivated me to go out and explore instead of stay inside. I didn't get to have breakfast here as I had to leave very early to catch a tour bus up to Giants Causeway and Belfast (highly recommend!). It would be nice if breakfast was served earlier as 730 seems late.
Overall, know what you're getting into and if it's just a comfortable home base you need, this will do the job for a night or two. Anything more, I would get a larger room.

I'd requested the quietest room possible when booked and was given a room 2 stories above the main street with old windows. Result: Very loud at night from traffic, revelers and very amplified music until very late. They actually give ear plugs in the room, next to the kettle, but they were useless. Fitting two people's luggage took a bit of time to figure out. As expected, there's no a/c as hot days are rare, but opening the window means more noise. The location is good for the Temple Bar neighborhood, busses, the castle and more. It has a good bar with reasonable prices and the food, especially breakfast included is pretty good. The bathroom was almost as large as the sleeping area and the shower/tub worked well, be careful climbing in and out. Everyone working at the front and restaurant/pub were very nice. Bottom line: old, small, noisy rooms but service is good.

Lovely intimate and independent hotel.We had a very short walk to our Aircoach stop and it's near to all the shopping, gallery, nightlife and top attractions to see in Dublin. We had a fantastic room with an amazing balcony. The staff were really helpful and welcoming and the room had an amazing shower. This hotel is situated right in the centre of Dublin with multiple transport options nearby so it's a noisy street scape but this didn't bother us as we were so well located and earplugs were provided if you needed them, we didn't and It was a small price to pay for the location. I will definitely stay there again when I'm in Dublin. A real home from home for any city dweller who wants to experience Dublin City centre. They also kept our luggage after we checked out allowing us to enjoy our last day strolling around. Thank You

We are pleased that we were able to do a lot of our activities directly from the hotel because of the hotel's location we rarely had to take the bus. Even though our room was on a side street, it was really loud at night. We had mold stains in the bathroom. The service overall was very nice.

We loved our stay here, even though it was a bit pricey for a mid-level hotel. When we entered the small lobby, the young reception clerk, Guzel, was so sweetly and genuinely welcoming that we immediately felt at home. She informed us that, because we had booked directly with the hotel, we were rewarded with free continental breakfast, which was really good already, but which we could upgrade to a bigger meal for an additional fee. Breakfast is held in the pub, a large room with lots of character. The breakfast staff was friendly and helpful. The location near Temple Bar was great: a couple of blocks from the Irish Rock and Roll Museum (which is near a nice Saturday outdoor market), the Viking Museum, and loads of coffee houses, pubs, and restaurants offering every type of food you could crave. If visiting Dublin, do not miss the excellent Irish Emigration Museum (EPIC) on the other side of the river.

In the very best sense of the phrase, this is an old fashioned hotel. The service before and during our stay was friendly and helpful, especially when the credit card company didn't like us crossing a border. The location above the Trinity Bar is at the epicentre of Dublin's party life, so tranquillity isn't part of the atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, the food in the restaurant was great - something for everyone with quick service - and they keep their Guinness at the right temperature. It is very convenient for public transport, and the best of Dublin is within walking distance. We are looking forward to a return visit soon.

Well, the staff on this hotel is so nice, so if possible I,m sure you can check in early, otherwise they will hold your Baggage till later, for no extra charge, and it is not difficult to kill a couple of hours in this neighborhood
If you visit the Information desk at Terminal 1 you can get a return airport transfer bus ticket. The bus takes you into the city centre and if bought with the Hop on Hop off bus tour, only costs 6€. The hop on hop off bus tour is only 14 € if bought St the same time and gives you two consecutive days sight seeing with discount vouchers to loads of attractions including the Guinness Stire, Jsmesons Distillery and the Gaol. Excellent value!
There's no car park allocated with that hotel but would be parking available around the area! ( Fleet Street car park, Q park and Christchurch car park)
There are more places to choose from in the Dublin area.
