Superb location, warm and welcoming foyer and friendly staff.
Extremely comfortable bed and cosy room which was great to retreat to from the chilly weather.
The food was a bit mediocre and there wasn’t a great wine choice.

Historic hotel from the 1880’s right by Leinster House, the National Library and National Archeological Museum. This is a warm, welcoming hotel complete with a fireplace in the public sitting area that feels as cozy as your own living room. Also has its own restaurant and pub.
Fantastic place to stay!

Location is perfectly situated in the city centre. Excellent transport, cafés, bars, restaurants and the relaxing St. Stephens Green all a few minutes walk away.
Very comfortable bed. Loved the foyer and lounge area for snacks, coffee and drinks.
Staff are incredibly friendly and extremely helpful and always a smile!
Our bathroom had the shower in the bath which I didn't check out in advance ... if you prefer a separate shower it's wise to request same when booking.
Nearby secure parking is at a reduced rate of €22 per 24 hour period ... a little pricey perhaps but very secure. Be sure to validate your parking ticket at the hotel on checkout.

Staff were very friendly, there was a great ambience of the hotel very welcoming. I would highly recommend this establishment.
Add on breakfast was a little too pricy, there are local cafe's with a 50% cheaper option which i availed of on the second day. Something to think about maybe.

We have always liked the nice comfortable 'old fashioned' feel of Buswells.
Staff are friendly. there is a great atmosphere here!
We were disappointed in the Breakfast. It is a while since we have stayed here, but you used to get proper linen napkins and Eggs Benedict.
A hotel of this calibre should have linen NOT paper napkins.

The atmosphere was elegant, warm and inviting. The meal I had in the restaurant was perfectly prepared and delicious. The staff was very helpful. The location is fabulous. I would definitely stay at Bushwells Hotel in Dublin again.
It would be nice if there was a bellhop to assist with luggage. While there is a lift, you might still encounter some stairs.

Location was fabulous. Staff were efficient and kind -barman was so charming and so sweet! ! ?The Hotel is beautiful and elegant with an old-world, welcoming charm. We loved being able to sit at the fireplace. The road noise, in particular the beeping from the traffic light, caught us by surprise and I can imagine it may be disturbing for a light sleeper. Beds are comfortable and the shower was great! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book there again without hesitation. Thank you!
Perhaps a warning about the troublesome key to room 214 as we checked in would have been welcome. ? Booking through Booking.com seemed to present a slight problem when I would have liked to alter the reservation.

Location is everything. Best possible place in the center of town walkable and easy access to places of interest. The staff was always pleasant and especially the door men who were extremely helpful.
The twin room at the end of the hall way #109 had persistent piano music playing in the background. No way to tune that out, it could be overridden by the television but that was the last resort.
The bathroom drain could be cleaned. Shaving residue from men’s facial hair accumulated in the drain. Could be cleaned out.
