We spent 2 nights at the Mount Herbert at a friends recommendation and found it was a good choice. Excellent locattion with easy Dart access and a small lelection of excellent spots for dinner were only a short walk. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and walking there is a pleasure. We were able to get breakfast included with our reservation - good as this was 10 or 15 Euro for their 2 buffet choices. The room was smallish and we were with our daughter and had quite a bit of luggage as we had been traveling for a week prior to this. However it was fine.

Neighborhood clean quiet hotel

Room was small

Lovely hotel is very clean and and has very well mannered and helpful staff.

everything about the hotel

nothing

I really enjoyed my stay in Mount Herbert. It is very central to everything. If you want to go shopping into Dublin City the Dart train is only about a 3-4 minute walk from Mount Herbert and is very cheap to travel. If you are going to a concert in the RDS or Lansdowne Road it is quite near also. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful.

The food was delicious!

It was very warm in the room. There was no need for the radiator to be on as it wasn't cold.

Myself and my partner stayed here over the rugby weekend and the stay was a very enjoyable one. We would definately stay again. The dart was approx 5mins walking distance away which was great to fet to Dublin. Food was lovely and well worth the money. Rooms were comfortable.

cleanliness and location

cleanliness

Good middle class hotel. Comfortable rooms. Good beds. Nice bathroom.Very good facilities.
Absolutely great breakfast!!!!!
Also a very nice and affordable bar.
Certain reception members were very unhelpful. No one was able to find lift B and the staff did nothing to help.
Other staff members were great!
Could do with more service regarding maps and directions!!!!!

the breakfast and the mattrass

The view and lack of help from certain staff members

A nice central location handy to rail transport (2-3 stops to city). Older establishment being refurbished. Meals good, reception good. Internet available.

General feel and Space outside rooms

Rooms and showers small

Good balance between price and quality. The rooms are a bit old fashioned, but comfortable. The breakfastroom, bar and reception look very stylish. That's why it is strange that the bedrooms are not that modern. The location is ok. The railwaystation is nearby and with two stops you're in the middle of the town. A 15 minutes walk brings you to the beach. In short: I would book this hotel again.

 

 

A nice hotel, but a fairly basic room. Part of hotel was in a state of extension and renovation. Public rooms were good and the restaurant was modern and smart. The free parking was very useful and the hotel was ideally situated for central Dublin and car ferries.

Central location at reasonable price

Room was basic being rather cramped and drafty

Very nice hotel located next to Lansdowne Road statium and DART. Transport is quick (comes every 10-15 min and takes 3min), cheap and easy into Temple Bar or close to O'Connell street.
Would definitely reccommend.
A little work to the rooms and you could add another star.
The internet was way too expensive. 3euro for 20 min or 7euro for 50min. Taking the mickey there.
For Dublin the price we payed was very good. Would reccommend staying here rather than Temple Bar or O'Connell street unless you are here on a boozy weekend and want to stay out past 11.20

Bar and food options were good

The price of the internet - ridiculous, 7euro for 50 minutes, needs to be looked at. Should be free wireless like other hotels, or a lot cheaper

An excellent hotel. Brilliant location, friendly staff, comfortable bedrooms, superb showers, good food. A couple of minor hiccups initially, but quickly and genially remedied.

Location, price, room, staff.

Nothing

On the whole, a very pleasant stay. Location ideal for rugby games, both at RDS and Lansdowne Road. Very quiet, no traffic noise at all.

The quietness of the hotel and its location

Finding way to room not particularly easy

Mount Herbert Hotel was clean, warm and comfortable although the rooms are quiet basic. The staff are very helpful and pleasant.

Facilities to dine in hotel until 11 pm is very useful when arriving late

Passing the kitchens with strong food smells to get to bedroom

PLesant enough - staff are friendly and helpful reasonable priced hotel which would cost 50% more in London

Atmosphere

Noisey corridors when revellers return at 2 am

We were first given a room in the basement where there was a significant odour of mould. We complained at reception and were immediately given a large nice room on the first floor instead.

On the first night we had a meal in the pub (the restaurant was fully booked) and that was a huge dissapointment. The pasta tasted all but nothing, and the "beef burger" had a distinct taste of lamb. Shocking. The breakfast buffet was very good though.

Given the low price and the location (just 5 mins on the bus from the city centre) we would still recommend this hotel, but don't expect too much, and don't have your evening meal at the hotel! There is a lovely cuban restaurant in Ballsbridge, a 10 min walk from Mount Herbert.

Excellent Hotel. Beautiful Room. Great Location
