The Arlington Hotel O' Connell Bridge in Dublin

We are writing this review on the Celtic Nights show and entertainment night not the hotel: So we attended 2nd of august 6:30pm show. The venue its self is medium sized venue so many of the times you are placed on tables amongs other people as they are trying to get as many people as possible so long tables with groups are 4-12 people sitting opposite each other. The venue is set up lovely candle lit the atmosphere straight away is nice. However we was placed on a table with us however with one of us having disabilities and severe allergies it was not safe or comfortable for us to sit amongst large groups we explained this to the staff and they kindly and happily changed our seating. Again as mentioned one of us had significant life threatening allergies and when explained on the phone when booking we was told that this can be accommodated. This was tried to be met as much as possible however it meant to had that one of us had to have watermelon started and that starter missing items as they wasn’t safe and we was informed we could have the potates without the allergen in question to make up for it (however at the end we was charged). However they explained they could have a main meal and allergen can be met and it was the main meal was lovely. Dessert was slightly worse as we was ill informed that there allergy free options for desserts however again just given a bowl of watermelon. So slightly disappointed as we did pay for the 3 course meal and it couldn’t be accomplished despite being told a few times it could be. HOWEVER granted with the food if you dont have allergies you will be absolutely fine as one of us didn’t have allergies and loved the food. The show its self was entertaining and enjoyable. The music was lovely! The main gentleman was charismatic, very funny and charming funny and got the crowd engaged. If you are looking for a irish themed night as we was then we would recommend as we have come from England, London and not in Dublin for long so wanted to experience the traditional irish dancing, food and music and this was definitely met. In an overall review i would definitely recommend if you want a sweet, cosy irish themed night out. However please understand the environment is extremely busy and there are definitely more people than staff and they are working quite hard and running around so ordering drinks at time was difficult and slow one gentleman we ordered drinks didn’t even get our drinks so we had to reorder after waiting and releasing it wasn’t coming. However we understood as we could really see how busy they were. Again we highly recommend and had a lovely night and thank you for 1 accommodating the disability needs and trying your best to meet the allergy needs despite understanding it was so difficult each meal was double checked and insured it was safe and no reactions happened so overall lovely experience.

Absolutely loved thud hotel. From the road, you'd never fired what is behind the doors of this wonderful place. Home of "Celtuc Nights" show and a fantastic restaurant that opens up to the street. Beautiful and Quaint with Love music every night. Great food and service.

Hotel very well located for visiting Dublin. Varied breakfast. The room we stayed in could use a refresh (holey carpet, worn furniture, outdated bathroom). It was also noisy at night.

Really friendly and helpful staff. Right in the centre by the river. So it's a great base to discover dublin

For celtic nights, Irish music and dance show in basement of Arlington hotel next to o'connell bridge by the river liffy

I was only here for a couple of drinks but the staff were exceptional, not only how they treated me but how they treated other customers and each other.

We went to see Celtic dances, with dinner. The dance was spectacular. It's worth it

Not really sure this hotel was worth the money I paid. It was clean for the most part except when I went to put the mat in the shower I found some hairs on the bottom of it. Gross. There was a sizable spot near the bathroom door where the carpet was ripped, exposing the wood underneath. Pillows were too flat (probably from too much use?), but I found some more pillows in the room encased in a plastic zippered bag that were fluffier. Bed was comfy though! Service was good though, and breakfast was delicious. When I needed more TP it was brought up quickly. When it was time to go pick up my rental car the reception was quick about getting me a taxi.

Estaba buscando un buen pub irlandés y me encontré con el Arlington. Parecía agradable así que fuimos a tomar una copa y comer algo. La comida era genial! Había un músico tocando en el escenario y era tan bueno. Sin duda volvería! Muy recomendable!

Parecía muy acogedor desde el exterior, así que pregunté sobre la posibilidad de una mesa para 3 - esto era alrededor de 8. 30 pm. Nos ‘servía’ una Charlotte bastante gruñona a la que no parece gustarle mucho su trabajo. Para cuando llegó la comida y habíamos terminado nuestro plato principal, a eso de las 9. 50 , ella golpeó el plato abajo con la cuenta, y sin una palabra se quedó fuera de la puerta - obviamente terminó su turno! Tomamos eso como nuestra señal para irnos. Es una lástima, ya que es un lugar agradable y la música en vivo era muy buena. La noche siguiente fuimos a Gogartys. El personal allí podría dar al Arlington algunos consejos sobre el servicio al cliente.
