Michelin Guide "A smart hotel set over 6 period buildings, with comfy lounges, impressive conference rooms and good facilities."
Frommer's "The Westin makes good use of this building's grand, 19th-century facade (the building was once a bank) -- it promises real luxury and the interior easily fulfills it." Full review
Concierge "Despite the grand surroundings, however, service is friendly and down-to-earth."
Jetsetter "Historic 19th-century bank-turned-hotel in the heart of Dublin with a restaurant and bar." Full review
Fodor's "Reconstructed from three 19th-century landmark buildings across the road from Trinity College, the Westin is all about location." Full review
Time Out "The Westin's imposing 19th-century façade (the building was once a bank) suggests an interior of traditional grandeur and exclusivity, and happily, the reality does not disappoint." Full review
Star Service "This hotel may lack the superior location of the Westbury, but it overshadows its peer with more distinguished public areas, better service, notable dining and superlative accommodations." Full review

Time Out "This is the aristocrat of Dublin's hostels. ... It has the usual mix of bunk beds, lockers and TV rooms, but adds a heady cocktail of extras like...a restaurant and an attractive (free) sauna." Full review
Let's Go "There seem to be a million hostels near Gardiner Street, but this is the one that you want to stay at." Full review

"Isaacs Hostel is a two-pearl property housed in a converted 19th-century wine vault that's within walking distance of many popular Dublin sites and is well serviced by public transportation." Full review
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick
"From the street, the Isaacs Hostel has an undeniable, ramshackle charm. Bright red trim pops against a well-worn exterior of brick and stone. The reception area is similarly attractive." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Isaacs does urban accommodation very well indeed: a prime location in the city centre, a quirky and historic character, and a buzzing and friendly atmosphere ensure that it stands out among Dublin hostels." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"The north-side's best hostel – hell, for atmosphere alone it's the best in town – is in a 200-year-old wine vault just around the corner from the main bus station." Full review
