Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Ruby Molly Dublin was fantastic from start to finish. The location was perfect — close enough to walk to Temple Bar, shopping, restaurants, and many major attractions while still feeling a little removed from the busiest crowds. The hotel itself was modern, stylish, and incredibly clean, with a cozy atmosphere that made it feel welcoming after long days of exploring. The hotel is designed around a streamlined, modern concept with self-check-in and thoughtfully designed rooms. (IHG Hotels & Resorts) The rooms were comfortable and quiet, which made getting good sleep easy after busy travel days. We especially appreciated the unique touches throughout the hotel, the great bar area, and how easy it was to get around Dublin from this location. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever we needed assistance. A few things to know if you’re traveling from the US: rooms are efficiently designed, there are no washcloths, storage space is limited, and the European-style two-duvet setup takes a little getting used to — but none of that took away from our experience. Overall, we would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend Ruby Molly for anyone wanting a stylish, comfortable home base in Dublin."
