Ballybay Vacation Packages

We rented a house attached to the resort and it was fabulous. It slept 9 and the rooms all had bathrooms attached. Kitchen, laundry, living room and a small backyard for the toddler. We had full access to the hotel's facilities and used the pool a lot. It was great. No complaints . The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. I would book this again and not hesitate

For a hotel that is situated on the main street of Dublin I was surprised on how quiet it was at night. The choice at breakfast is fantastic and should cater for almost everyone's tastes. I happened to be celebrating a special birthday during my stay and on the 'big day' I received a lovely surprise to my room marking the occasion. Although it was small in size I thought the gesture itself was a fantastic personal touch. They didn't have to do it but they did. I found all of the staff I spoke to polite, warm and professional. I would be happy to recommend this hotel.

Incomparable city centre location just off Grafton Street, opposite Bruxelles. Have stayed multiple times. Great studio apartments, spacious and really well appointed. Ideal for a weekend stay in the city . Cannot recommend highly enough.

The reviews on this have been variable so it’s time to weigh in with my own. Bottom line - if you want a decent stay for a cost-effective price, DO consider this. If you’re looking for the Ritz, it’s probably wrong for you. This is normally student accommodation and so is way better than a hostel while not being a hotel. You get your own, modern, fairly smart room with an en suite shower room and toilet. There’s also a modern shared kitchen/TV area with oven and microwave and washing up facilities just down the corridor. The crockery, kettle etc seemed to have come from Ikea and some were still in their plastic, to give you an idea. The fridge/freezer looked new as far as cleanliness goes. Yes, the shower was a bit slow to drain (design flaw I think), but that’s as bad as it got. Bella on reception was ever-pleasant and helpful and I was able to leave my suitcase for a few hours on the last day. This place is on the edge of the centre, so not a bad location. There are one or two places to eat, plus takeaways and convenience stores in easy walking distance. I personally feel I nailed it with this as a choice for a cheap city break - it met my expectations and did the job very nicely. Recommendation for a good break? Leave your car at home and order yourself a visitor’s Leap Card to get around. Dublin hates cars and has pretty great bus, train and tram (Luas) systems. I didn’t know what I was doing and I didn’t go far wrong.

The location can’t be topped. Easy from the airport with a shuttle and to and from Heuston with a bus or shuttle. Walk to everything else. Bathrooms were very clean, sheets were clean. Older building with some broken things, moldy smells. Would give it 5 stars if it were half the price, but maybe that’s Dublin?

Wonderful hotel in a great location will definitely be returning in the future
