Trinity Townhouse Hotel

Quirky Townhouse, split into two parts facing each other across a narrow street. This is rooms and breakfast, that is it. However, its location is perfect as a base for shopping, dining out in Dublin. It is delightful to stay in a genuine Georgian townhouse with elegant architecture and comfort. It had been maybe 5 years since we last stayed. Little changed - though service at breakfast has much improved, our last experience would have given Fawlty Towers a good run. And with the room rate gone up by 100%, it is no longer what you would call good value, rather it is expensive for what you get. It also needs some investment and not just the cosmetic layer. Heating - a dual use air con machine in-room, is noisy as it the outdoor part of that system. En-suite is bang up to date and generous. If you don’t need any big common spaces or a bar to relax in or a spa to regenerate in, then this will suit you fine. No obvious benefit however for foregoing these facilities in the rate to stay. Overall, this a charming place to stay.

Loved it. Wish I could have stayed longer. Great base for single woman to explore Dublin.

Lots of character. Helpful and friendly staff. Good choice of breakfast options. Easy walking distance from the city centre and public transport, but still relatively quiet.
