The Fleet

In a good location and the staff are friendly. The Afternoon Tea is very nice.

The location is a deal-breaker here! Right in the heart of the Temple bar district, so everything was close by. The lobby looks as posh as in the picture. This gives a nice vibe to the stay. The personel adds up to the vibe!Breakfasts were heavy, though a bit monotonous, as content does not vary much. The bathroom was freshly renovated, no mold at all!

Dublin is a difficult place to maneuver in, transportation wise. We rented a car to travel outside of Dublin and found out quickly, driving inside the city was a bigger challenge than we expected. Steering is on the right side of the car and the traffic flows opposite, so you're driving on the left side of the road. The roads are small, with many one-way routes and odd turns, so if you miss your turn or destination, you have to circle back around and do it all over, hoping to get it right. Parking is a challenge as well. Public transportation is everywhere, easy to access and I recommend using vs. a rental car. In saying all that, the Fleet Hotel is in a perfect location, just difficult to find, but once you do, you'll fall in love! We've been to numerous places all over Europe and United States and this hotel ranks second only to the Golden Adler in Austria! The lobby is more of a living space, where you can warm up by one of the two fireplaces inside and enjoy a cup of tea, Irish whiskey, beer, coffee, whatever tickles your fancy. The rooms are lovely and cozy! We left our window open all night to feel the brisk air and even though we were on a busy street, we heard very little (we also bring a noise machine wherever we go). To get to your room is quite a trick, there is an elevator; however, once you reach your floor it's like a maze, upstairs, downstairs, turn a corner, back downstairs, just follow the direction of your room number. It would be a challenge for someone who has difficulty climbing stairs. The floorboards and stairs creak when stepped on, which only added to the ambiance of this lovely old hotel. We enjoyed the mystery of it all - it was almost like a Harry Potter movie. The breakfast room gets busy after 9:00 am, so we tried to get there around 7. They have a good variety of breakfast choices and juices, but it's the same options every day. Staff members were 10 out of 10, very friendly and professional!

Great location, waking distance to major Dublin sites and right by a major bus pickup area to catch the airport Dublin Express bus and city buses. Lobby is gorgeous, breakfast was very nice and had warm and cold options, attached restaurant was also very nice for dinner after a long tour day. Staff were extremely kind and helpful, from all areas of the hotel.

Excellent location. So close to the city centre and all it offers. The parking garage across the street and down the block was very convenient. Hotel guests pay a discounted rate for the parking. The hotel lobby with the fireplace and all of the seating was so very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. If driving pease know that Fleet street, where the hotel is located, is a narrow street that may resemble an alley. You miss that turn and it'll be a good long while to make your way back.
