Reviews
Perfect hotel with the type of feeling like you’re in a movie. Beautiful decor and very fancy looking. Anything you need is in walking distance, anything. Staff are all very welcoming and helpful. The restaurant is more on the Italian side of things which is not my taste, but the dining atmosphere is awesome. Would surely come back.
We had a lovely stay at The Devlin and would definitely stay there again. The location in Ranelagh is brilliant, with so many great pubs, cafés and restaurants nearby, and it's so easy to get into the city centre. The hotel itself has a really cool atmosphere and feels a bit different from your typical hotel. Our room had incredible views and, while compact, it was modern, spotless and had everything we needed for a great stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. One of the highlights of our stay was the rooftop restaurant, Layla's. The food was absolutely amazing and the setting was just as impressive. Between the beautiful views, the atmosphere and the quality of the food, it was easily one of our favourite dining experiences during our trip. It's worth visiting for the restaurant alone! In particular, the Cacio e Pepe was phenomenal — genuinely one of the best meals we've ever had and something we'll be talking about for a long time. Everything about our stay was easy and enjoyable, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Devlin to anyone visiting Dublin. Looking forward to coming back!
Small but perfectly formed. The size is is small but the bed size was more than adequate for a six footer. The interior design details were extraordinary and the art around the building was well above average for hotel decor. I’d definitely stay again. Thanks guys.
Stayed for two nights on business. Well located, with friendly and helpful staff. My room was tiny, but quite clever. Likes: comfy bed, self-demisting mirror in the bathroom. Dislikes: ridiculous one drawer under the bed, already holding hairdryer, kettle, etc. Marshall Bluetooth speaker (nice) positioned righr in front of the bed light switches (daft). No safety deposit box in room. Bar food was good, portions large. I would have liked to sample the roof restaurant/bar but on a Sunday evening it was packed - including a noisy hen party - and the music was both I appropriate and cranked up to 11.
Fine hotel, lovely decor. Small room but that’s fine for one person. Great location for buses, Luas, and walking. Nice pubs and cafes nearby, and a Tesco and two pharmacies very close. Lovely staff! Only issues were ventilation (a little stuffy), and there was some mold in the bathroom. Not horrible, but present.
