Stauntons on the Green Hotel

1. the location was superb if you were interested in irish history, esp the easter rising of 1916, as there was revolutionary action right out the front door on st stephens green! (and it was well and thoroughly explained as you explored the park) 2. i came to dublin looking to see as many harry clarke windows as i could cram in, and they had a magnificent one of their own right there in our hotel! unbelievable! as good as they come, rates with those in any of the museum collections in town. 3. also had a wonderful collection of other art, interesting photos, and a some cool old maps... 4. the breakfasts were incredible, i was able to get by with that and one other meal per day, which really saves time if you're trying to see as much as possible... 5. transport connections to the trains north or south, to the trams, and to the bus system were very convenient. 6. they had a beautiful garden out back, if i hadn't been running around so much i would have enjoyed spending more time just relaxing out there...next time! 7. finally, and very important, the staff were delightful and very helpful...information on getting around was spot on, and i had many interesting conversations with front desk folk and the servers at breakfast...i come from a lily-white conservative town and it was fun to be among an international cast of characters with stories to tell...thank you all, if you read this...

The location could not be beat and the entire staff went out of its way to be helpful. We really enjoyed the breakfasts and the beautiful, quiet garden in the back of the property was a welcome respite from a busy day.

Location was absolutely perfect, with St Stephen’s Green at the front of hotel and another lovely park at the back. The hotel lobby and common seating areas are welcoming and elegant, in an understated way. I appreciated many little things that invited comfort and enjoyment - jugs of ice water & apples set out for guests, books and cozy seating. Artwork around the hotel added unique local interest (portraits of James Joyce and Oscar Wilde), and the courtyard garden was beautiful. Our family room faced this back courtyard, so it was quiet with lovely views.

Location is excellent, and the breakfast is great. We thoroughly enjoyed the fresh fruit and yogurt. The hot choices were very good, and the dining staff were always very welcoming while being very professional and efficient. The hotel staff was outstanding. We had a room snafu that was handled with a smile and grace. (Thanks Zack!) our bags were transferred during our absence, and the transition could not have been easier. From the manager who made our reservations for us at Balfes, the staff who oversaw the bar ( great gin and tonics btw), the room staff and the uber efficient front desk staff who handled our room and also prevented a taxi-to-the-airport potential issue through their thoroughness in double checking bookings (taxi cancelled morning of unexpectedly) - Staunton’s staff was exceptional during our visit.

location, kind and helpful staff, comfort, gardens, little extras in rooms (coffee, tea, cookies, chocolate, still water, umbrellas, blankets, apples throughout hotel), outdoor sitting areas, fans in rooms. breakfast convenience, bar with fresh water and coffee all day. lots of outlets in rooms. The cleaning staff tydied up our rooms frequently. loved being close to stephens park on the green for daily walks.
