Hotels near The Chocolate Warehouse, South Dublin

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.

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 !

In my opinion the Marlin hotel is more like a very fancy hostel than a traditional four star hotel. That comes as a bit of a surprise if you are not expecting it! On the plus side it’s very clean, very unique style, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The cons are that the king rooms are just too small for two people. Travellers with a lot of luggage will struggle. The breakfast was average for the price. The dining option is bar food only. The high price tag is for the excellent location, not the accommodation. We did really enjoy our stay but would consider other options with more spacious rooms for our next stay in Dublin City centre.

Superb hotel that used to called jurys inn but bought over by Leonardos only small complaint supplier of breakfast sausages has changed and no boiled eggs out for breakfast 15 min wait for boiled eggs if requested, I know Dublin is an international city but never spoke to one Irish person in hotel either reception cleaning staff or at breakfast, why is this ? Superb location and staff are helpfull so a stay here will enhance your dublin trip

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.

My friends and I were all amazed by this very cosy hostel, with a nice staff, good breakfast, living room, nice showers, parking lot, for a good price. The room is in a former chapel with a beautiful Window. And rumor says a jacuzzi's coming! :)

We went to see Dublin for 4 days. The apartment is well furnished, with space, a large kitchen, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and kitchen tools. It has a double room and a large sofa bed in the dining room. The staff at the reception is very friendly. They even have a ”button” that you push at any time and a taxi comes to the door. The location is good, it has a very large supermarket 200m away, and bus and train stops 5 minutes away that take you to the center of Dublin in 15 minutes. If you prefer a taxi, as in my case, for €20 they will take you to the center (if you go with 4 people, a taxi will cost).

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.
