O'Callaghan Mont Clare Dublino

Superb location next to Trinity area and downtown, reasonable sized and clean rooms. Very good beds and wonderful, warm duvets. Staff friendly enough. but somehow in a cold way. Breakfastbuffet (12e) was nice and I think, worth its price. Had to pay 50e deposit (by credit card) when checked in although the overnight already paid thru Internet. The room […] was freezing cold before got the radiator fixed. In shower just hot and hotter water (opposite to many other hotels where only cold water available..), had to take a real lbath to clean oneself. Price/quality relation good for a weekend traveller. I would recommend this hotel to adult holiday travellers, but not for business people. Continua a leggere

We chose this hotel because my Dublin cousin-in-law recommended the O'Callaghan brand. We picked it because it was a lower price, has old world ambience, and is very close to everything. It served breakfast onsite which is a must. I had asked for a quiet room--and I got it! Aside from a little noise in the halls around 10 pm, and some noise from the […] plumbing on occasion it was very peaceful. I was also grateful for the beautiful room-darkening drapes. The beds were firm and I was so warm that I replaced the elegant down coverlet with a plain blanket. The bathroom had everything we needed. The breakfast was lavish and set in a beautiful dining room with cloth table linen and huge windows letting in sun and sights. The waiters gave great service. We ate enough so that we were not hungry for lunch and just skipped straight to teatime. All the people at the front desk were consistently helpful--giving directions, making calls for reservations and checking on times of sights. My only complaint was that there was a little mildew on a tile in the bathtub area and sometimes not enough hot water. Continua a leggere

Rooms very small but adequate, shower not working in room.

Walking distance to Trinity. Not a lot directly around the hotel, but close walking distance to everything in Dublin. The staff was very friendly. The room was small and the shower didn't have great water pressure, but it was everything we needed for our 1 night stay in Dublin. Nothing too fancy but clean and nice.

Perfect Hotel for Sightseeing near the Temple Bar District! Everything important is near this Hostel! For example: to the Phoenix Park it Takes 30 Minuten by foot! An we didn't go very fast! I' d like to stay in this Hotel when i come back to Dublin! :)

This is a very comfortable hotel with an excellent breakfast. The only thing I would like to see changed is the internet included in the room price. It is already in the hotel.

I had stayed at an O'Callaghan in Annapolis, MD, USA before and my wife and I were very pleased with everything including friendliness, cleanliness and food. So when the name came up on my search for a moderately priced Dublin hotel I snatched at the chance. I actually wanted a hotel close to Trinity College where I was giving a talk. Location is even […] better, right beside Merrion Square, a beautiful park right in the middle of South Side [or the River Liffey] Dublin where there is a charming figure of Oscar Wilde. The only thing I did not like was that they charged for WIFI in the room, phone calls and the newspapers but I learned that this practice is now fairly common in an Ireland recovering from economic crisis, hotels trying to keep their nightly rates down and whatnot. Look out for incidentals. Staff very friendly and efficient. A good Irish breakfast available on site for about $20 in an attractive room with tall windows overlooking the street. The hotel is also within walking distance of famous Stephen's Green and of Grafton Street, Dublin's mini Ramblas complete with mimes and 'buscars', i.e. street musicians. Present exchange rate is favorable to the dollar. Continua a leggere

Located in Merrion Sq and close to main points of interest and attractions. For those coming from the North of Dublin or the ports it is very easy to access This really is very good value for money and of a very good standard. The reception staff are very friendly and breakfast was very good. 1 point. Make sure and get your car parking ticket validated […] at reception or you will have to pay an exuberant rate or return to the hotel. Continua a leggere

Staff on the reception desk were really helpful and obliging.

Very nice hotel, good location, clean and proper, good break fast. Good location.

Pros: Excellent location across from Merrion Sq, and across the street from the Airbus stop (when coming from the airport). It's a 10-15min walk to Grafton St, Temple Bar, and O'Connell St. The biggest advantage staying here vs a hotel in Temple Bar is that the area is very quiet and safe. We could only hear the drunk pouring out of the pub on Fri/Sat […] night, but it was still nothing like in the Temple Bar area. I'd consider it normal for a city location, and certainly not loud enough to interrupt sleep. The room was very comfortable and reasonable size for 2 women. Beds were comfortable. Hotel staff were always helpful and pleasant, meeting requests promptly. The desk staff were helpful in helping me check in for my return flights and print my boarding passes without extra fee when the Dublin Airport site (which they allow you to access for free from a terminal in the lobby) didn't link to British Airways. Cons: The only reason I did not give this hotel 5 stars is the shower. There is a complete lack of water pressure which means it takes twice as long to shower, especially for those with thick or long hair). It is also difficult to regulate the water temperature to something in-between scalding and cold. Finally, I would urge caution for the elderly or anyone a bit unsteady on their feet. The tub is very slippery despite what appear to be non-slip strips. There are good handlebars available (which, along with fast reflexes, kept me from falling several times), but the tubs could use a rubber mat or thicker strips to make it safer. I am used to the quirks of European accommodation showers, but for those who require a power shower (or even normal water pressure) I would probably tell them to look at other hotels. In conclusion, I would not hesitate to stay here again, and just accept the shower issue as a nuisance but not a deal breaker for me. For me, overall comfort, friendly staff, location, and value for money are most important, and the Mont Clare certainly Continua a leggere

Very surprisingly the hotel has no room service the hot towel rail in the bathroom did not work (hotel policy not to switch them on) front desk staff somewhat haphazard approach to service delivery

The hotel was clean and well maintained. Pillows on the bed were a bit small and shower a bit of a challenge to get the temperature just right. Staff were generally unwilling to help - some were very courteous, others were unable to help me out with some basic info; exact location of car rental offices and bus station information.

I stayed here and at the Westin while in Dublin on my honeymoon. The room was fine, nothing special and the bathroom was okay... except the hot/cold water never moderated right. I preferred the location/service/rooms at the Westin because it was right in the middle of everthing. The O'Callaghan Mont Clare was fine, but not as centrally located. Definitely […] nice if you prefer to be right near the park. Very close to Grafton Street... everything is still walkable, but I would pay the extra money and stay at the Westin. Continua a leggere

Hotel/room in itself was very nice, sadly the plumbing really let it down, shower just like a drippy tap, no power at all.

The hotel room itself was rather large. The bed appeared to be about a King size bed but upon inspection was two singles pushed together. Additionally, the bed was not comfortable. The hotel staff was very helpful however and the location of the hotel was excellent, very close to center city. My main complaint was the heat in the hotel. The air conditioning […] did not work and the room was very humid and uncomfortable. If it were cooler out, this would not have been a problem. The room was very inexpensive compared to other hotels in the area so it is an okay option if you are looking to save money. Continua a leggere

This hotel is in a good location in Dublin. It is within comfortable walking distance of Trinity College, Dublin Castle, Grafton Street, etc. Bus stops for all tours are located nearby also. The room was a little small and the water pressure for the shower is lacking a bit, but other than that I would recommend this hotel.

Very good, old fashioned style hotel. Very comfortable room and excellent daily cleaning. Great location near Marrion square, Art gallery etc and short walk to centre of town. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

i stayed in this hotel in july '11 and found it very good value for money, clean, friendly and in a good location only 7-8 min walk to grafton street. however the temple bar area is a bit further maybe 20 mins but we found this a good thing because you dont get any of the drunken noise around the hotel. overall i was very happy with the stay and would […] recommend/stay at this hotel again.

The O'Callaghan hotel was well worth staying at despite the poor desk staff (perhaps the employee was new and in training however the lack of interest/concern for resolving matters left much to be desired). The rates were good as was the location and cleanliness. It's too bad the Internet is so expensive when other more modest hotels offer wifi for […] free. Still, I would stay here again.

We stayed at the Mont Clare for 3 nights and found it to be in an excellent location a few minutes walk away from the city centre, pubs and restaurants. The hotel was well furnished though the lift was a bit unreliable and occassionally did not work for a few minutes because the motor had overheated. The hotel has chargeable internet using either a […] room number/name or a code from reception. Unfortunately , neither I nor the hotel staff could get it to work on the first night using the room number/name option and had to use the code alternative. There were no problems with the room number option on subsequent days. We did not have breakfast in our package(food served in the hotel breakfast area) so can't comment on the food. However, the hotel did not have an evening restaurant facility and diners had to go across the road to a sister hotel. We felt the hotel offered a good standard of comfort at a reasonable rate and did not charge the high prices we saw on the internet with similar quality hotels. Continua a leggere

Mont Clare is in an excellent location for travel around Dublin.While the rooms were very clean the shower heads and water delivery system need revamping. The hotel staff,particularly John and Maria were particularly helful.

the location was great, relatively quiet but quite convenient to walk to lots of stuff. shower was tiny, had no pressure, and sometimes not enough hot water. that was really our only complaint.

Fabulous location in the heart of all the key interest spots in Dublin City. Only a block from the Dart. Very helpful staff. Not the newest decor and the shower pressure was low. But very comfortable, good beds and safe. Definitely good value and a plus for those who like a good sleep, but would rather sightsee than sit in a delux room.

I really don't know why the group has neglected this hotel.I have stayed in all O'Callaghan hotels in Dublin and Mont Clare is the only one I feel like not going back to. The rooms are just OK but need lots of maintenance work to do.The roof near the AC duct looked like it was going to fall down any time. Reception was a mixed group with some people […] looking very disinterested and the others quite friendly and helpful. Continua a leggere

The hotel was in a great location, walking distance to everywhere near Trinity College, Temple Bar, and the airport bus drop off/pick up. Service was great, including letting me leave luggage at the hotel the two nights before my stay so that I did not have to bring it on a side trip to Paris.

Good location of hotel near the museums and not far from Temple Bar. Very good breakfast that is not included in the room rate and you are not offered a discount for breakfast. Also, had a great deal of difficulty accessing the internet and finally gave up.

The hotel has a great location. You can walk to museums, Temple Bar, Trinity, O''Connell St., etc. The hotel was rather empty in Feb. 2011 as only the breakfast room was open. The bar & its restaurant are now closed. Guests can use facilities at Davenport across the street. Mont Clare now is more like a posh motel. Tile bathrooms with nice tubs. Paddy, […] the concierge/porter, has retired. AirCoach from airport stops across the street but one needs to walk down past Grafton St. to get the Coach back to the airport. Internet shop is across the street. St. Andrews church is 2 blocks away. Continua a leggere

The O'callaghan Mont Clare is located right next to the public and Government instutions of Dublin. It is a pleasant neighbourhood, close to everything and yet easy without being quiet or boring. The hotel is nice, a economical with space in a very efficent and welcoming manner. To room was quiet and unfortunately a bit cold when I arrived. An adjustement […] on the thermostat fixed that and kept the room at an easy sleeping temperature. All in all, it was a nice place to come back to every night. Continua a leggere

The hotel is a little bit of a walk away from the main city area (maybe 7 minutes) but it is just enough to feel a little separated from the hustle and bustle. The hotel was clean and relatively quiet- we visited at new years and found few noises make it from the street below to our window. Staff were friendly and courteous. I would recommend this stay […] for people who like a comfortable hotel without paying exorbitant prices. Continua a leggere

The ventilation in the bathroom didnt work. Every time we had a shower the room filled up with steam and condensation ran down the walls. All because the ventilation didnt work. When reported to the reception desk they seemed to think this was perfectly normal. A sign of very poor standards. Thank God nothing else failed to function.

The hotel was within walking distance to the air coach drop-off and within walking distance to most major tourist areas that include Temple Bar, St. Stephen's Green and the River. The room was clean, quiet and the bathroom had granite counters and marble floors. The kind bed was very comfortable and the staff was helpful. I would recommend this hotel. […] Very good especially for the great prices. Continua a leggere

Was very disappointed with the hotel staff. They were very unhelpful and rude at checking and checkout. Not a thank you or a smile at all. The hotel was nice and warm. I wont stay again at the hotel as the attitude of the staff have severly damaged the experience. Ill also be not recommending it to my friends and clients. Not a pleasant experience […] at all.

The location of this hotel is ideal for tourists who are willing to use a little shoe leather. It was within easy walking distance of virtually every tourist attraction in Dublin. The room was small, but with good beds and was comfortable for two people. The one negative was the price of breakfast. There are coffee shops in the area. Staff were very […] helpful. I would recommend and will go again. Continua a leggere

The Mont Clare is a good 3 star hotel in a central location on the corner of Merrion Sq near the National Gallery, the back of Trinity College and Pearse Train Station and the 4 +7 bus stop.The hotel decor could do with some modernisation.However, the room had evrything I could need including tea/coffee making facilities, bath and wide screen tv with […] wide range of channels.It also had an old style and quite loud air con unit.The window in my room did not open.

5 friends stayed here between 27th - 30th Aug 2010. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was clean and well presented. 10 mins walk to shops/pubs. Very good buffet style, cooked breakfast (not included in the price). Staff were extremely helpful when we had left a bag at the hotel. They wrapped it and sent the items onto our home address. […] Very pleased with this hotel and would stay here again! Continua a leggere

Great stay, Great staff, overall a fantastic experience. Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a wonderful stay in Dublin.
