Dublin Northside Beach Vacations

Nice little hotel (though for us luddites ridiculous tablet to control lights, shades, everything in room) - and they goofed and billed us for food on hotel bill when we paid daily by credit card.

Great location. Staff helpful. Room was nice.

The staff (particularly Sanjay who checked us in) were friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location for public transport links and also exploring on foot. The room was clean, comfortable and had excellent amenities. We would stay again.

We liked how central this property was, and that the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and laundry facilities were functional and comfortable. When we arrived at the apartment we experienced flies swarming around in the hallways and inside the apartment. Not a great first impression. The building and apprtment are older, there's visible signs of wear and tear. Cleanliness in the common areas (halls and lobby was lacking). Some of the windows were broken and needed repair and attention in the apartment itself, the mechanical closers were just busted and didn't work. Picture missing on the wall. Serviette stuffed in the old deadbolt key hole that was never repaired. The area is noisy at night, people yelling and sirens constantly. Definitely take ear plugs! The check-in process of having to download a 3rd party app and picking up the apartment keys at another location (City Breaks office) was super inconvenient! Depending on which property you are staying with this agency, be prepared to either walk with your luggage, take multiple taxis/buses if you don't have a car - just to check-in! If you are young partiers and like proximity to lively pubs and restaurants, this is a great place for you! If you are a family, maybe try a quieter part of the city.

Perfect. Love the location!

Nice dim lighting, cool vibe, big rooms, excellent roof top bar/restaurant, great gym, can walk to train and shops and Stephen’s green park

I booked RIU Plaza The Gresham Dublin for my husband and me during our Ireland trip (August 19-23, 2026). The location is excellent, but our stay was overshadowed by poor communication, inconsistent information from staff, and a lack of accountability when issues arose. At check-in, we were told we would receive a call or email when our room was ready. No notification was ever sent. When we returned later that day, we were simply told the room was ready. My husband is a cigar smoker and fully respects a hotel's non-smoking policies. The issue was not the policy itself but the conflicting information we received about outdoor seating and terrace access. Different employees gave different answers, and when concerns were raised with a manager, the response felt defensive rather than helpful. We were also concerned when my husband and four other guests became trapped in an elevator for several minutes. The emergency speaker system was difficult to understand because of excessive rattling. The Wi-Fi registration process was unnecessarily complicated compared to every other hotel we stayed at in Ireland. On our departure morning, we asked a buffet employee if we could sit just outside the buffet entrance so we could remain with our luggage and were told yes. Later, two employees loudly confronted my husband for bringing food outside the buffet area, despite the permission we had already been given. Thankfully this was the only one of five hotels in Ireland that was bad.

Very nice hotel. The staff was fantastic, love, dining at the rooftop restaurant in the Collins club. I’ll definitely recommend this hotel to anybody and stay again someday.😊👍

Very small room- location convenient
