West County Hotel in Dublin

Right near main links, but traffic noise not bad at all with all fairness, Definitely worth a visit to the restaurant for dinner, been here a few times now, food is excellent! 👍 Staff very nice, and friendly

As a passionate and experienced reviewer, I can confidently say that the West County Hotel is a solid and virtually flawless choice for those seeking honest value, provided they're willing to make a few small compromises. Location...The hotel is strategically located just west of the city center. For a seasoned traveler, this isn't a weakness, but an advantage. You avoid the chaos and exorbitant prices of the city center, while remaining perfectly connected. The number 80 bus, which passes right in front of the hotel every 20 minutes, makes Dublin's city center (and its vibrant nightlife) easily reachable in less than half an hour. A real plus for those traveling without a car. Building...The building itself and the furnishings are showing signs of age—don't expect the ultra-modern design of a new-generation hotel. However, this is more than compensated for by the fairly high level of cleanliness, which I found in both the room and the common areas. The room, although dated in style, was functional and complete with every practical comfort. I was pleasantly surprised to find not only a comfortable desk, but also a table and an iron. A very useful detail, especially for those traveling for work or for long periods. Areas for Improvement (the compromises): 1. Socket Emergency: There were no European (two-pin) electrical outlets in the room, only UK ones and two USB/USB-C sockets. For an international traveler in 2024, this is a significant drawback. Fortunately, I had a USB-to-power strip adapter with me, but those without one might have trouble charging their laptop, headphones, and other devices. 2. Mixed Breakfast: The continental buffet is, unfortunately, rather poor and disappointing. The selection is limited and unappealing. The saving grace is the à la carte menu, which offers 3-4 freshly cooked options (the eggs are excellent, but avoid the pancakes; they were actually crepes). 3. No Minibar: The lack of a minibar in the room is another drawback, especially for those who want to stock up on water, drinks, or snacks. Would I return? Despite the above points, the verdict is positive: yes, I would return!! The West County Hotel knows exactly what it offers: a clean, comfortable, and well-connected stay, at a price that reflects its age and its small shortcomings. It's not a luxury hotel, but a reliable base camp for exploring Dublin. If you're looking for the wow factor, it might not be for you. If you're looking for functionality, cleanliness, and excellent public transportation, it's a more than valid choice.

A hotel with a retro yet efficient feel. Very friendly staff, both at reception and in the breakfast restaurant. I would have liked more variety for breakfast, but what was available was well-cooked. The bus stop in front of the hotel is convenient.

Wonderful hotel in a beautiful quiet location. A little far from the city center, but good transport connections and a huge park nearby. The hotel has an almost family atmosphere. Extremely friendly and qualified staff, who are always willing to help if needed. I recommend it!

The hotel is located in a remote area, but has a convenient bus stop right in front, allowing you to reach the city center in 20 minutes. The manager, who has worked in Italy for 25 years, is very friendly and engaging. The rooms are spacious enough, with excellent mattresses and pillows. It would be helpful to replace the carpet (it gets dirty quickly and collects dust) and the entrance locks could be updated. Excellent service, adequate breakfast, but there's a fee for a supplement. Definitely recommended, considering the potential improvements.

Stayed there for the first time last summer the place is amazing and I would recommend going there for some relaxation time the staff are really friendly and helpful in every detail and I really appreciate your hospitality thanking you Mr Thomas Collins

Food wasn't great. Friendly service though

Came to Dublin for a few days for my partners birthday & St. Patrick’s day. Our flights were v.cheap but when it came to booking a hotel if we wanted to be central we were looking at 300+ a night. Obviously hotels in v.high demand during St. Paddy’s day weekend. We decided to take a chance & book The west county hotel - a little further out than we’d like & it looked a little dated compared to what we’re used to - but for the price we risked it. And I’m so glad we did! The staff were so friendly & accommodating. The hotel itself is a little dated, but we expected that. Our room was spacious, v. clean, tidy and had all we needed. There’s a bar, restaurant - breakfast was included & we enjoyed it - no complaints. There’s free parking, a bus stop right outside & taxi’s into Dublin were very easy to come by, both ways. Even taking into account what we spent on public transport every day, this hotel was still a third of the price we’d have paid had we stayed central. All in all a great base, a fab little find & I’d recommend to anyone wanting to explore Dublin.

Liked this place but not its location

Went for dinner with my friend and have to say from the minute we entered we were greeted by a very friendly bar manager and his staff the food was delicious and hot.
