My stay at Kingfisher Townhouse had its ups and downs. The location was a significant advantage, being close to O'Connell Street and within walking distance to popular areas. However, the room felt a bit chilly and dated, and the TV situation was quite frustrating. Overall, it was decent considering the price and the helpful 24-hour reception staff.

I had a pleasant stay at Kingfisher Townhouse, thanks to its strategic location near key attractions and transport. The hotel staff were genuinely helpful, especially in accommodating my requests. However, I found the room a bit dated and the unique TV remote quite frustrating to use. Overall, it served my needs well for a short visit to Dublin.

My room, while clean and well-maintained, felt somewhat dated with mismatched furniture. The bed was small but comfortable, and I appreciated the tea/coffee making facilities. However, the remote control for the TV was unnecessarily complicated and annoying. I also had to deal with some noise from the street below and a nearby plant room.

My stay at Kingfisher Townhouse was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic, making it easy to explore Dublin, I found my room to be quite small and cramped, which was disappointing. The staff, especially Maria at the front desk, were incredibly helpful, providing assistance with parking and other inquiries. Overall, the cleanliness of the hotel was commendable, but the noise from outside could be bothersome at times. I appreciated having good food options right next door, which added to the convenience of my stay. 🌆

The room I stayed in had three beds but was quite cramped. It was clean, but there wasn't enough space for three people to move around easily. The comfort of the beds was acceptable, but the size was definitely a letdown.

The hotel’s location was ideal, only a short walk from the vibrant Temple Bar area and surrounded by plenty of bars and restaurants. It felt safe and allowed me to explore many of Dublin’s highlights easily.

Dining at the Kingfisher restaurant next door was a treat, with a great range of made-to-order Irish and English dishes. However, the restaurant's opening hours could be more accommodating for early risers.

Facilities

The hotel was clean and maintained well, though the lack of an elevator made it challenging to carry luggage up the narrow staircase. Parking required advance reservation, which was a bit frustrating.

I had a lovely 3-night stay at the Kingfisher Townhouse, which is conveniently located just off O'Connell Street. The staff were friendly and accommodating, particularly Maria at the desk, who made it easy for us to drop off our luggage. However, the surrounding area can be noisy at night, and while I had a street-view room, the earplugs provided were necessary for a good night's sleep. The breakfast options were decent, but service was a bit erratic during peak times. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences. 😊
