1 night stay

Our stay was brilliant, we stayed for one night in an executive king room; we were surprised when we arrived to be told we had a complimentary breakfast the next morning as we left a comment saying it was our anniversary. We also found out there was an exclusive lounge for the executive rooms only which had a fully stocked complimentary mini bar, with high quality snacks and a coffee machine - even with takeout cups to take with you while you explore. The bathroom was spotless, a lovely waterfall shower and we were provided with shampoo and shower gels (sachets could be 50ml instead of 30ml as for two people didn’t stretch very far - but i’m sure if we asked they would’ve given us another free of charge). We found there was no hairdryer in the room as advertised so we contacted reception who brought one up within 5 minutes. The rooms are soundproof so lovely to get a nice night sleep. Not too close to temple bar so no hustle and bustle at night however close enough for a stroll in and only around 15 minutes walk (10 if walking fast). Easy transport links, right near the train station. All of the staff were so welcoming, they looked after our bags pre check in and the same again from check out until our flight. We commented it was raining and they even provided us with a large umbrella!

Davenport was a great location in Dublin. Not in the center of town, but on the Trinity College side, which worked well for us. The staff at the hotel was excellent, helping us out with some details and taking good care of us. Special shout out to Rosilex at the front desk. She took great care of us and was super pleasant and kind. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to family and friends.
