The Arlington Hotel O' Connell Bridge in 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.

This is a charming hotel and very accommodating. It's within an easy walk of all the tourist spots, plus the restaurant downstairs is great for dinner and a show.

Stayed at the Arlington Dublin from May 19 - May 22. The location is within walking distance of the Temple Bar district. We choose this hotel based on price and location and to be in reasonable walking distance to a lot of the "attractions" and things to do. As I quickly learned, a lot of hotels in Ireland don't have air conditioned rooms or ice machines on the floors. We had to go to the bar and ask for a bucket of ice. Which I suppose was no big deal. The "vertical" fan provided really wasn't adequate for the "heat wave" Ireland was experiencing during our stay. And only one window could be opened a slight bit, so the room was very warm at night. The room and bathroom was clean. Took a little bit to figure out how to get hot water from the shower head, but it was nice and hot. The breakfast buffet provided was very good. The hotel is right on the River Liffey, attached are 2 pictures close by. Walking on the boardwalk was nice. The one negative, my wife and I went to the dining area for dinner and were told to pick any seat we like. So we sat next to the live entertainment. We waited almost 15 minutes and no one came to our table. We were both hungry and decided to pick up a pizza at a place close to the hotel and take it back to our room. Other than those two things, it is a good place to stay.

Drink service was pretty slow and drink prices seemed high for the area

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!

I am a regular at this hotel, the reception staff are the best I've ever encountered, they make the guests feel so welcome and make me smile every time, there is one particular lady on reception who's name I don't know, she is brilliant and very friendly and helpful

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.
