Loved staying at The School House
2.5 / 5.0
I chose the hotel for the character of the property, and it did not disappoint. The rooms very nice and seemed to have been upgraded fairly recently. However, it was the common areas that set the hotel apart. The vaulted dining room and bar area were charming and gave a sense of what the building was like when it was originally built. Also, the old-school keys were a nice touch.
The compromise for this charm was location, not being in the center of Dublin. Still, the 20-minute walk to Trinity college was not bad since the weather during our stay was cooperative. I can also recommend the gastropub. We thought we'd just make use of the restaurant for breakfast but at the end of a long day of sightseeing we chose to have dinner at the hotel several nights. A good meal and then straight to bed!

Cozy hotel with friendly and helpful staff, centrally located. 24h reception is great for coming and going as you like, without having to worry about room keys.
Some wear visible in the bathroom, otherwise the room was in excellent condition.

My son and I stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the location, style and personal touches of the hotel. It's a charasmatic hotel with charm and fabulous personality. It's clean and comfortable with easy access to all areas of Dublin.

Lift was out of order. One female staff member requires extensive customer service training as it was non existent. Standing over people to promptly finish their drinks is not an acceptable way to treat hotel guests & customers. There was also no residents bar facilities. Breakfast was also of a poor standard. Requested a call back from the duty manager, still waiting?

This property is with easy walking distance of most everything, yet feels more secluded. It’s only about a five minute walk to the Hop on- Hop off bus and many restaurants and shops.
More than anything else, though, the staff is absolutely wonderful. They go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

The staff was wonderful. They helped us with any and all questions, that we had. Very quiet! Easy walk to Trinity, Temple Bar area. Charming and unique. The food was great.
4.0 / 5.0
This was a nice place to stay and only about a 15 minute walk to the central sites in Dublin. if you stay here you dont need a car. The restaurant was really nice and the staff friendly. The only set back we had was that they were trimming trees the whole time we were there and it was right outside our window and was loud during the day

Very nice staff and facility was clean and very comfortable.

We asked for a quiet room as the hotel is on a busy road out of Dublin. Our room at the back was very very quiet and I think most rooms will also be quiet. The breakfast was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and professional. Dining in the restaurant in the evening was good but there could have been more choice with perhaps a fresh fish option.

Amazing all round !

Good location, nice rooms, friendly staff. Prices at the restaurant were steep, 15 euros for a continental breakfast is high.

Beautiful, unique quaint converted schoolhouse with a great restaurant and pub, away from the fray of busy downtown. Half hour walk to center city. Great romantic spot for couples. Staff went overboard on making sure you got what you needed.

Convenient location. Friendly staff. Restaurant on site. Comfy bed. Nice shower. Only two quibbles: 1) It would be helpful to add a shower caddy, and 2) it would be great to have more diverse music (including traditional Irish music) on the restaurant playlist instead of the repeating loop of tired 80s and 90s pop music.

Small boutique hotel, personal service, old ambiance, great pub included, door keys challenging, in Dublin, I’d book again

3.0 / 5.0
Staff in the dining area and cleaning staff are excellent - professional and genuinely friendly!!! Thank you. Buffet good! Cooked breakfast, less so. Bed very comfy and room size good. Rather faded glory and outside areas shabby snd dirty. … a little updating is overdue. Shower very weak. .
The lift was out of order over 3 days so had to carry case up two flights of stairs. The hotel is well positioned for lots of places of interest in the city.
I had meetings and one day missed food all day. I asked in the bar and at reception if a bag of crisps or a banana could be found ( since there was no mini bar). The answer was an emphatic no “ not after10pm” with zero concern and a swift return to her conversation with another staff member. Certainly no genuine customer care for a mature lady on her own.
I appreciated that a taxi was ordered and came on time. Apart from the first night, reception was professional but lacking ANY pathic communication and whilst language skills were excellent, there wasn’t the usual warmth and rapport found in most Irish hotels. Maybe the reception area needs rethinking along with reception staff training around the word hospitality? The truth is that you can get more and pay less.

Beautiful hotel with great people to interact with. From before check in everyone was an absolute pleasure. Check in and out was a breeze. Especially liked the bartenders, Helio even brought us a special Brazillian treat.

Really nice hotel and very hard to fault. Very cool to stay at an old school property and not have any homework

This is a quaint boutique hotel in a lovely part of Dublin along the Grand Canal but it was more like a babbling brook with a wonderful tree lined walking path along each side. There was a nice selection of hot and cold tasty breakfast items. The attached restaurant and pub were grand and even had a nice place to sit outside on a warm evening. Staff was very helpful and kind.

We really had a wonderful 4 day stay at Schoolhouse. The room was spacious and very clean. The staff was courteous and very helpful. The breakfast had a lot of variety and was very good. We also had dinner in the restaurant. Both the food and the service were top notch. We would certainly stay at the Schoolhouse again. If you are driving, the parking lot is small and challenging to negotiate.

Perfect location. 20 minute walk into the heart of Dublin, past Merrion Square. Vibrant, busy neighborhood just down the street. Cool old building. And the grand canal is at your feet.
