DK Eyewitness "The Neo-Classical facade dates from 1863. Mahogany, brass and marble furnishings give it the feel of a gentleman’s club."
Time Out "The lobby is nice enough, as are the guest rooms (even if they won't conform to everyone's idea of chic interior design), and the location is suitably swanky." Full review
Star Service "The Davenport competes well, however, and has earned its fair share of loyal repeaters over two decades of refined service. " Full review

Insight Guides "Has more character than some of Dublin’s bigger, pricier places, with the first-floor Library Bar a popular spot with literary types. Situated close to Grafton Street. ."

Time Out "This comfortable, 187-year-old hotel is unique in that it's a prime piece of real estate (right off Dame Street near Temple Bar) that the designers haven't yet got their hands on." Full review
