Trinity Capital Hotel - Dublin, Ireland 

"Excellent Staff"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Traveled to Dublin, Ireland and stayed at Trinity Capital for five nights. The hotel was clean and safe and the staff were exceptional (especially since they knew I was a young female traveling alone) The location was great - you can be at the shops on Grafton Street or Temple Bar area in a less than five minute walk. Make sure you go to the Meter Station on Tara Street and see the owner, John, he'll make you a great cup of coffee, which is hard to find in Ireland. Cheers and thanks to all for a wonderful, wonderful time. Can't wait to go back next year!

Great Location & Perks
Posted: Sat, Nov 07 2009
This hotel is central to key areas of Dublin...easy walk to Grafton Street or Temple Bar. Tourist Office where many tours meet is a 5 minute walk. More important is the free internet in the Cafe and lobby and free airport shuttle to the airport. These perks are worth about 100 - 150 euros for a typical three day stay at other hotels without airport shuttle service. It's a tad noisy on the street side of the hotel ..I was on the third floor facing the street..so you could request a room on a higher floor or in the building itself as a shield against the early morning traffic. But...the noisy street is not enough to offset the pluses of this hotel. I will stay again when in Dublin.

Fantastic place to stay in Dublin!

We decided to stay at the Trinity Capital Hotel for our first trip to Dublin after extensive research, and could not be happier with how it all worked out! We stayed here at the beginning and end of our trip to Ireland. Our favorite things? The location, the clean rooms, the unique decor, and the FREE shuttle to and from the airport. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the beds were comfortable, and the location was fabulous. 5 minute walk to Trinity College (it was directly across from the hotel), museums, and the river, 10 minutes to Grafton St and Temple Bar, 20 to the Guinness Storehouse. The one thing to note about the free shuttle to and from the airport: When you arrive at the Dublin airport, you have to exit the airport, then cross the street and walk through the "car park" area - there's a grocery store and some cafes - to the bus area. You pick up the free shuttle from the bus area, but it's not where the city buses come in. We actually missed the shuttle when we arrived since we didn't know where to wait. It was about 20 Euro for the taxi ride to the hotel, but it was worth it since the shuttle only comes every 2 hours and we didn't want to waste more time at the airport. Our room wasn't ready when we first arrived (early flight), but they were more than happy to store our bags for the couple hours we had to wait. Being exhausted, we returned a little earlier than they'd told us, but the room was ready and waiting. We didn't eat at the hotel, but everything looked delicious. They even had "bacon fries" in the vending machine! We loved the decorations, and the fire station next door, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We hope to be back!

Perfect for our needs.

Comfortable hotel in the heart of Dublin

Although the building is very plain outside, the indoors of this hotel is beautifully decorated, like with the tall throne-like chairs in the lobby. The rooms are very comfortable, too. Across the street is Trinity College, where we saw the amazing exhibit of the Book of Kells. We walked to all the other sights in the city. We never needed to take a bus. I definitely recommend this hotel. The only negative was no A/C or heating controls.
