We stayed for just one night at the Davenport at the end of December and wish we had booked for longer. We had originally intended to book the Mont Clare Hotel opposite but they couldn't accomodate us and we were offered the Davenport at the excellent rate of 85 euros. Ok it didn't include breakfast but there are so many... more

Certainly not a 4* Hotel - Room - Identical to a Holiday inn Room, very basic decor, no fridge and very basic toiletries Hotel - Room service was terrible. Ordered Hot Chicken Pita with roasted Garlic - Recieved a cold pita bread with some chicken and a little mayo. Pizza was cold Ciabbatta bread with some rocket on top and... more

The entire staff at the O'Callaghan made us feel like Family!!! Early on the morning of check-in I decided I needed a special room. Garreth Maloney answered my call and assured me there would be "No problem". Sure enough, when we arrived late in the afternoon Mr. Maloney was there to greet my Family and myself...and there was "no problem"!!!... more

The Davenport is part of the O'Callaghan chain. Its a good business hotel and also in a good location for tourists (walking distance from all the main attractions and near the routes that the tour buses take), but its expensive, especially if you just want somewhere to sleep. The rooms are very good, with all the usual facilities & the... more

Dear MiriamHull, Thank you for taking the time to write a review in relation to your recent stay at the Davenport Hotel. I was dissapointed to read that you did not enjoy your stay with us. The team at the Davenport are always striving to offer the best service possible to our guests and obviously we failed at this time.

On arrival at this "luxury" city centre hotel we encountered our first experience of Irish hospitality...no record of our reservation by the front office staff. When we finally managed to get checked in we were expecting a "superior double room" only to be provided with a very basic double room which was moderately clean and was "average" by any standards.... more

We stayed at the Davenport in October 2008 while visiting Dublin to run the marathon. The hotel is very well placed for the marathon and is generally in a good position, close to the centre but away from the rowdy/ noisy Temple Bar area. The room that we had was large, very clean and well appointed. The staff were always... more

My husband and I stayed at The Davenport for three nights. We stayed there the first night we arrived in Ireland and the last two nights of our vacation after we toured the ring of Kerry. The Davenport is conveniently located in Dublin. It is a close walk to the trendy Temple Bar area, restaurants, and pubs. The day staff... more

This hotel is located only a ten minute walk from Grafton street. The foyer and reception area dates to the last century and sets the mood for your arrival. Upstairs the rooms and corridors are uninteresting. Carpets and walls need refurbishing. It's a very nice historic hotel that needs modernizing its rooms. The artwork throughout the hotel is pretty minimal.... more

We booked the Davenport because it was a designated hotel for a business conference we were attending, and it seemed to have a central location, which we valued, as we wanted to experience the city as well as the business meeting. We were not disappointed at all with the location -- it is situated within easy walking distance of parks,... more
