Ballybay Vacation Packages

We enjoyed staying here. The room had air conditioning which was a life saver during the hotter temperatures we experienced. It was pretty snug but we paid for the smaller room. Make sure you’re ok with your partner being able to see you shower from the room, haha! They gave us drink vouchers for opting into the “green” cleaning option which I liked (since places normally just guilt you into it). The lobby was a great space. It was a convenient location. We would stay here again.

The room was great! Fabulous location to walk around. Parking was very convenient. Lots of choices for breakfast. Looking forward to the next visit.,

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 front desk staff who greeted us were so friendly and set the tone for the stay. We traveled with our two daughters who appreciated the Dyson hair dryers provided in the rooms. The rooms were comfortable and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms were lovely. My husband and I took advantage of both bars on site and they were very nice. The location was great...not right in the thick of all of the activity so quiet at night but an easy walk to get to Grafton St. area. Would absolutely stay again!

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

The shower got the bathroom quite wet and when we called they refused to give us extra towels to dry it. Other than that it was a very nice p

Great location and staff were very helpful!
