"Good and well presented hotel for couples "

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel, it was our first stay in dublin and the hotel was situated just outside the city centre which was a nice distance, the staff were friendly and the breakfast was superb. The hotel could be noisy when the nightclub was on but the music was kept at a reasonable level. I would definitely stay here again!

"Overall was good, even though the rooms seem a little dated."

The only observation or recommendation was that the music played at breakfast time seemed a little inappropriate.

"Look No Further"

My daughter her friend and I stayed in this Hotel for 3 nights. It was great. The staff, food and the nightlife. Within easy walking distance to the shops and Temple Bar Area. We had a triple room too so it was a lot easier for us. The only downside was that the shower sometimes was cold and hot water sometimes came out of the cold tap but apart from the that BRILL!!!!

"Extremely noisy; poor choice at breakfast and standard of the food left a lot to be desired"

For the record, many of us thought your website was extremely misleading. It stated that booking through you would secure a substantial discount and would include full Irish breakfast in the cost. In the event it did neither: those who booked with the Russell Court direct paid exactly the same as those who booked through you - but had full Irish breakfast included in the price, whereas those couples who booked with you had to pay a ?20 supplement for Irish breakfast. Needless to say, there was a good deal of bad feeling about this, with everyone saying they would never go via an intermediary like you againm, but would always book direct with the hotel. So all in all, the poor quality of the hotel was exacerbated by your misrepresentation and shoddy customer service. I wonder, do the Advertising Standards Authority know of your practices?

"NOT SUITABLE FOR OVER 30`S"

The Hotel is in excellent location for nightlife. This is the noisiest hotel i have ever stayed at and would highly recommend it for the under 30`s. Downstairs has been refurbished but the upstairs bedrooms are now very tired and dated but clean. Plumbing system certainly needs attention. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant but there were very few dubliners working there!! The place was jammed packed at night which is great for the young ones. Bit chaotic trying to get back into hotel when you are a resident because of the queues outside. Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to party all night!!! Very expensive in dublin generally but certainly dont expect to get any sleep at this hotel until at least 5.00am.

"Hotel incorporates a night club!"

Which is great if you want to stay up drinking until 3:30am, but don`t stay if you really need a good nights sleep. In fairness they do provide earplugs...The rooms are lovely, fantastic 4 poster bed, green leather chairs, antique furniture.

"Noisy nightclub"

The hotel is in a good location and the facilities were very nice but it was spoilt by the noise. There were three parties going on downstairs in the nightclub on Saturday evening. It was very loud and no-one could get any sleep until at least 4pm in the morning. NOT GOOD for us who were only there for the weekend! We did complain but nothing was done about it! I won`t be returning and would definitely not recommend it to other friends.

"very nice place to stay, the rooms were beautiful"

however, it is a very noisey place so light sleepers stay clear. there is a very loud club near and when the people spill out into the streets it WILL wake you. Also the shower in our room was awful, it had a mind of its own. However, over all we were very happy with our stay, the rooms are truely lovely, the food reasonable, very close to the centre and easy to find.

"Overall Excellent"

Very modern and clean rooms. Outstanding outside bar and niteclub. Very close to restaurants and the Temple Bar area. Can get noisy in the rooms from music from the niteclub so not for those wanting an early night. Ear plugs are supplied by the hotel in the rooms so this should give some idea of the noise, Party animals will love it.

"Staff very helpful and courteous. Excellent situation, very close to Grafton Street."

We had a very enjoyable stay - the rooms were clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfasts were very good. The music was loud at night but we were expecting this and it did not bother us unduly. We would use this hotel again.

"rooms with character, and style. Pleasent friendly staff"

Very close to oconnell street only 5 mins walk to get to all of the shops and main attractions.The hotel can be noisy as there is a night club inderneath, however this noise was bearable. We found that for the cost of the room and location this was more than worth putting up with. Also the Krstal night club underneath is great of thats what your interested in.Only bad point that was the tv lost reception and after assking twice no one came to look at it. But they are all very busy at russell court and they did have important functions going on. i guess mytv request was very small in the scheme of things. overall stay though good and would definatley stay at russell court again.

"Beautiful hotel, nice garden bar"

Everything was perfect, booking in took minutes. The room was lovely with high ceilings and room colour. Can be quite noisy at night with the night clubs below the hotel, but they supply ear plugs. Beer garden really nice, and of course perfect for smokers. Breakfast brilliant, room service only 3 euros per room.

"Fantastic Hotel"

Great service, lovely characteristic room. Loved the `Diceys` the garden bar, lively but relaxed and so well thought out. Well placed for the city centre and therefore a little noisy at times but we had a super time and are planning our next trip back to Dublin. Ee will definately be back at the Russell Court Hotel!

"Very noisy"

The hotel is lovely, clean and the staff were more than helpful. I was not aware when I booked it that it also had a nightclub and the noise went on until the very early hours of the morning, The hotel did supply free earplugs but they did not help much and I have a hearing difficulty but still heard the party goers going............... that is my only complaint, the breakfast was substantial and very well cooked, service was very good and the staff more than helpful, if it wasn`t for the noise I would go back again.

"the cottage"

we were upgraded at the last minute to the cottage,, and when we got to the hotel we were taken into what can only be described as the back yard! we were told if we needed to get back into the hotel grounds then we should ring reception, only to find our phone wasnt working. then we sat out in our own smoking garden but when one of our party used the toilet those of us who were sat outside were faced with raw sewage coming up through the drain. we had to use our own phones and write our own drink orders because the staff struggled communicating!

"Good hotel for young couples or groups but not for families as there is a nightclub on the premises."

We enjoyed our 2 day stay and would certainly use the hotel again, it is geared at young people and their were lots of groups staying over the weekend we were there, stag and hen parties etc. This is ok if you are looking for a lively venue as the nightclub is good but open to the early hours on Saturday evenings and closing at 1am on a sunday evening.

"A very friendly and compact hotel with everything on tap."

One draw back is the size of the overly small lift, in which it is impossible to have two persons plus cases. Another would be the noise from taxis, collecting nightclubers at 4.00 a.m. in the morning. The taxis made more noise than the 200 - 300 people waiting in the street did. Other than this we really enjoyed our weekend stay at the Russel Court in Harcourt Street, Dublin. With such a friendly atmosphere we hardly noticed the rain.
