The Louis Fitzgerald

The hotel is a bit worn-out, but the beds are very comfortable. Rooms could need a bit updating and an air-con. Restaurant is very good - we had a great dinner there and the breakfast was also very good indeed. You get value for your money at this hotel which is close to Dublin

All good from check in to check out. Excellent location , staff very friendly, rooms spot on - clean and spacious - will stay again for sure

Because Ike’s the Hotel after learning this was where the tour company I was joining had booked us for their trip. Hitel is about a 20 minute drive from Dublin Center, $38.20 Euros to get there. Nearest bus or tram station is 15min away. Upon arrival first impression is an older dated hotel lobby. Staff were nice but room was not ready as ordered so they had to send someone to separate the full into two doubles. Imagine cruise ship beds, old mattresses. The room we were put in was at the very back right hand corner of the upper side of 1 to the left of the reception. Room is basic, imagine motel 6 without air conditioning or a small fridge. Windows opened inside and this was great for air until it was night, then you had a large security light shining directly into the room with curtains opened inside. So, had to shut curtains which blocked airflow. We did get a fan and this helped but it was an older oscillating and made noise. Tub was super high and no real handles to grab , sister trying to get out hit the floor sliding and ended up with a slight concussion. Mind you this is all the first day! Scroll to the day before checkout…when I booked I had ask for breakfast included in the cost, prepaid of course. On the night before we were to leave to go to the airport we realized with the distance the hotel was from the airport we would need to leave about an hour earlier than we planned, so I ask them to please refund our breakfast as we would not be able to have it before we left since they didn’t open dining until 7 and we had to be leaving before 630. Was told “no refund”, we will make you a sack lunch and ready at 6am. At 6 am when we came to check out and order $70 taxi I asked for our breakfast, it was not ready. Once we had received it we were on our way. We didn’t look in bags until we got to the airport and we saw there was a sandwich, apple , pear and banana and yogurt and one of us got water. We needed to hustle to get to us clearance and because we could eat when we got past this we chose to take our bags with us. Really aggravated when we got to customs and they said no pork or apples, bananas or yogurt can be allowed through. At this point it was a “fine,whatever” moment. Needless to say I waisted $40 on a breakfast that was trashed because they made a sandwich out of pork and they live there! Never again and I will not recommend when there are nicer, less expensive hotels right in the city center.
