Hotels near Featherbed Forest, South Dublin

Superb experience ✨ This hotel was crystal clean, the room was spacious and airy and decor lovely. These beds! So comfortable we fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow! A dream ☁️ The team at the hotel were wonderfully helpful, attentive and friendly. We arrived very early the day of check in and they allowed us to check in and head up to the room on arrival which was such a relief after not sleeping almost two days with travel! We were very thankful. There is also a check out time of 12pm which is a fabulous perk! The only downside was we spent a lot of money on taxis into Dublin City which definitely added up. However, there is public transport available that brings you to the city in an hour. We had a lovely experience at this hotel. It was faultless and we would certainly stay again! I will dream about those cosy pillows and duvet !

I stayed here when I was attending a retirement party with work. The staff were very pleasant. Check in was relatively easy, I am unsure as to why when you have pre booked you are required to give details on arrival of a second card. I’m wondering what would have happened had I not had a second card. Not everyone does. The room was spacious with good facilities. The view was awful but I wasn’t staying that long anyway. The only thing I would suggest, as a 4 star, would you not upgrade to get USB points in the rooms? I didn’t bring my plug as I guessed this was generally the norm for hotels 4 star and above in 2022.

We spent a comfortable 3 nights here. The rooms are not large but adequate for a short stay. Toilet/shower modern fittings and good. We enjoyed the Nespresso machine for a morning coffee in the room. The hotel decor is vibrant, modern and ”full” but I liked it. The decor in the bar and dining area is modern and bold. The staff were especially welcoming and helpful. The location is a bit out of town, so quieter with a local-feel.

Stayed here in Dec 2020 when Ireland was still under Covid restrictions. We availed of the offer Dublin for Dubliners which gave a free room when 2 people booked to bring up to 2 friends with you. We didn't leave the hotel. From arrival to departure the hotel felt extremely safe and spotlessly clean. A manager knocked into the room to ensure everything was ok and we were happy with everything. The decor and finishes of the rooms are top endm with little quirky pieces like record player in room and a great music selection. We ate in the restaurant and the food was absolutely gorgeous. I'm looking forward to going back as soon as I can (booking is already made but covid impacting dates) to enjoy the fabulous food. We also sampled more than enough of the cocktail menu and all were proper well mixed drinks, not syrupy rubbish. For me the standout part of the stay was the staff, from reserving the room, check in staff, servers in the restaurant and bar, night staff, every single one of them was friendly, smiley, polite with the right level of interaction. This made our stay. We stayed here so that we could meet up in a safe way and have a nice meal and drinks and retire to our rooms for a few more drinks limiting our contacts. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning. Next stop is the penthouse!!

Point A Hotel, what can I say. Well presented inside and out, the access to bedrooms locked behind a key card, the bar and breakfast area also immaculate. As you enter your bedroom it is well organised and has everything you need. The bed was a firm mattress but that was perfect, a surprised samsung 43” TV was waiting to be watched from the wall. With LED strip lights and mode lights all around the room and a decent air con to go with. The room had a safe but i never needed to use it. The one LED strip light on the curtain track was losing its stick and i had to reattach it everytime the curtains where opened. Speaking of which the arrangement I felt was weird as it typically goes curtain than net curtain from inside looking out, this hotel went net curtain then curtain. Maybe you do get some rooms with a view, i most certainly did not, considering how close it is to the heart of the city and Temple Bar. My window view consisted of an opposite rooms window and exterior build walls and a steep drop down below. If you are looking for a well presented hotel with decent sleep quality, this hotel is for you, if you are on your own this hotel may not be for you, due to its lack of hot meals at breakfast and throughout the day. For a hotel at £180 a night, you could easily get a hotel with a hot food breakfast and evening meals nearby, the price structure like the rest of Dublin is overpriced for what it is, one of the cheaper priced hotels but still not worth the price. The breakfast was ”okay” you had a selection of 2 cheeses, 3 sandwich meats, 3-5 pastry options like pain au chocolat, croissants, scones, sausage rolls and mini bread rolls / baguettes. Was some cereal options too, a choice between orange juice, apple juice and ice water, then your usual hot drinks choice. It was all fresh and well presented, i just wish it had a cooked option too. In terms of location, ignoring the building opposite that was a form whiskey shop. It was great, right around the corner from O'connell Street, where it was incredibly busy, multiple shopping centre esque buildings along each side street, with id say 10 minutes you can be in Temple Bar area on the South Side of the River by foot. With such easy access to trams, buses, taxis near enough on your doorstep, and the far enough away from Temple Bar to not hear it, but close enough to go there was ideal. In quiet traffic from the airport you can make it in 15minutes. So to summarise, it was a good, but overpriced

Hostels around the world need to take note of what a real hostel is — and that's Jacobs Inn Hostel in Dublin. Located in the center of Dublin and easy to locate, you're greeted with friendly, warm staff who can help you with anything you need. Advice on landmarks, restaurants, events, they have an answer. The commons area is packed full of people working, socializing or just simply relaxing. Music is not too loud so communicating and working is made easy. It's very atmospheric and it's a great place to make new friends on your travels. It's amazing decorated and their bar/dining area is incredible. Breakfast is served and you're offered a good variety to choose from. The rooms, or pods, are clean, well-maintained and the bathrooms are neat. You're afforded privacy in a modern fashion.

We booked Castleknock hotel for out Honeymoon trip to Ireland. It was far enough out of the Dublin city center, that I felt relaxed and had fresh air, but close enough that busing or taking a taxi into the city center was very easy! We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the hotel breakfast and other restaurants on site!

I was the organiser of a golf event in September 2024 and part of a group of twenty golfers who stayed at the hotel. From the first contact with the hotel about a year prior to the event the level of service, professionalism, communication and advice was superb. A complete turnkey package - rooms, golf, dining, transport - was put together for me by the team at the hotel at a very competitive price. Initially I dealt with Lenka and subsequently with Sibella. They were both brilliant to deal with and so competent in all their dealings with me. My group loved the ambiance of the hotel - spacious courtyard, lovely bar areas, restaurant and rooms. The staff everywhere throughout were attentive, courteous and well trained. We dined on two evenings in the hotel and were very satisfied with the choice and quality of the food presented. As an aside, the female bartender in the bar makes the most wonderful cadillac margaritas! The hotel is in a delightful location adjacent to the Liffey in Leixlip and a lovely get-away within twenty minutes or so from Dublin. I would highly recommend this hotel.

We had previously stayed in this hotel with our son when we were in Blanchardstown for a rugby event. This time my wife and I spent a night in the hotel to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I had told Graham who was the reception manager about our anniversary and he arranged for chocolates and cake to be delivered to our room. Graham also arranged for us to have a Premium room, which was beautifully decorated. We spent a lovely day in Blanchardstown and enjoyed having breakfast in the room, which was first class and piping hot. I can not recommend this hotel highly enough and have already done so to my friends, we will definitely return!
