Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin

We arrived at Ruby Molly around 8am and they allowed us an early check-in, which was wonderful considering we had been traveling well over 13 hours at that point. Staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay and the location was central to everything we wanted to see! I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone :)

The hotel was very clean and up-to-date. The staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was in a good location for walking to restaurants and attractions. Felt very secure in the hotel as people couldn't take the elevator to rooms without a room key.

The hotel could be suitable for guests from all walks of life. It's a modern twist on a boutique hotel. There aren't extras like a Holiday Inn type hotel that has a gym, etc., but it's very clean and comfortable. Although it's still a relatively new concept to seasoned travelers, the new generation seems to like this style of accommodations. It's easy to think one has stepped into a fancy pub, but at the bar is where you do self check-in and check-out (the staff will gladly help with the process). Currently they accept a major credit card for payment. The bar is a nice area to sit with a group of friends to have a Guinness or dinning at the restaurant for an intimate meal on a special occasion. They have a social room where you can sit in a comfy chair and strike up a conversation or simply relax with a good book. Also, they have a nice breakfast at the hotel for purchase if so desired. The location is near the Four Courts Luas stop; A stop after that is Smithfield where it's more of a young professional work neighborhood with lots of cafés and restaurants. The light rail stop I mentioned is past the street of the hotel, but much easier to walk back and navigate. Rather than fighting the crowded Henry Street shopping district with luggage. Keep in mind the light rail trains can be crowded and sidewalks are narrow and uneven. This might not be ideal for some guests, but in Dublin it's easy to hop a cab or get a Free Now cab (a popular APP in many European countries).

Very spacious room, very cool shower and love the dimmable lights that allow you to make the vibe less cold than many other hotels. Breakfast buffet was quite good, loved having warm bread in the morning. Located close to some good shopping malls, the quays, etc. - just a cool vibe overall and I was relieved they had a converter for continental plugs on hand as I had forgotten mine.

Ruby Molly was in the perfect location for exploring the city. We were close enough to the tourist hotspots (walking distance) without being too close that you hear it (Temple bar). We loved how Ruby Molly was decorated with rustic charm. It was clean and had everything we needed:hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner etc The only part that we felt could be improved was the duvet and kettle situation. There was one duvet at the bottom of the bed going width ways and one at the top. We had to rearrange so we had a single duvet each rather than one for the top half of us and one for the bottom. There was no kettle in the room but there is a shared station on each floor with plenty of tea/coffee. The only problem we had with this was getting the boiling water tap to work properly so every morning we had a Luke warm coffee. My husband finally got it working on the last morning 😆 The instructions need to be clearer. Also, it was not eco friendly as the cups were disposable ones. I would have rather taken a cup from the room and washed it up everyday. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel as we thought it was expensive for what it was (£22 pp for a continental breakfast). Instead, we discovered Brother Hubbard (turn left and then take the first left. It is opposite The Leprechaun Museum) and the breakfasts there were amazing! We would definitely recommend Ruby Molly and wouldn’t hesitate in booking again.
