Barely 300 metres from the towpaths of the Grand Canal, The Leinster sits on Lower Mount Street in Dublin 2, the Georgian-era quarter that links the canal with Merrion Square and the south side of the city centre. Traveloka's listing records the property as a 4-star hotel with 55 rooms spread across four floors, which places it firmly in the small-to-mid-sized bracket: large enough to run a staffed front desk around the clock, a bar and a fitness centre, yet compact compared with the several-hundred-room properties that line Dublin's quays.
That scale is the defining feature of a stay here. With only four floors served by a lift, guests are never far from reception, and the listing notes that the hotel is run by a professional property host and manager. Front-desk staff greet guests on arrival, and the 24-hour front desk is available for questions from check-in through to check-out.
The location is what draws most travellers. According to the listing, The Leinster is within a 15-minute walk of Trinity College and the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, about 1.1 km from the Aviva Stadium and roughly 1.8 km from St Stephen's Green. Baggot Street is around 600 metres away and Merrion Square about 800 metres away, so the hotel suits visitors who want a quieter residential street as a base while staying within walking range of museums, galleries, shopping streets and stadium events.
This page draws on the property information published on Traveloka. Because details such as facility hours and policies can change, always check the latest information on the booking page before you confirm your stay.
The Leinster offers 55 rooms in total. Traveloka's listing describes the in-room set-up at a property-wide level rather than room by room, so the available room categories, bed configurations and occupancy limits are best checked on the live booking page for your chosen dates. What the listing does confirm is the standard of equipment you can expect across the hotel.
All 55 rooms are air-conditioned and fitted with flat-screen televisions. Complimentary wireless internet access is available so you can stay connected, which matters for business travellers and for anyone planning the next day's sightseeing in the evening. Each room has a private bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries and a hair dryer.
Rooms also come with a phone and an electric kettle, handy for a cup of tea before heading out on a grey Dublin morning. Housekeeping is provided daily, so rooms are refreshed during longer stays without guests needing to request it.
Because the hotel is small, the number of rooms in any one category can be limited, especially around concerts and matches at the Aviva Stadium or busy weekends in the city. When you search on Traveloka, compare the room options shown for your dates, read the room description and occupancy details carefully, and note that extra-person charges may apply depending on property policy. If you need a particular bed arrangement or have an accessibility requirement, add a special request when booking; requests are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
The Leinster keeps its facility list focused on what most city-break guests actually use. The amenities confirmed on Traveloka's listing are:
The fitness centre is the main recreational facility, and the listing does not mention a pool or spa, so travellers who want those should look at other options in the city. For most guests, though, the combination of free WiFi, a bar for an evening drink, a café and a staffed front desk covers the essentials of a short stay.
On animals, the policy section states that service animals are allowed and are exempt from fees. The listing also refers to a pet fee, so if you hope to travel with a pet that is not a service animal, contact the property in advance to confirm whether it can be accommodated.
The Leinster's address is Lower Mount Street, Dublin 2. The street runs between the Grand Canal and the Merrion Square area, so the hotel sits on the south-eastern edge of the city centre, close to both the Georgian squares and the waterfront districts beyond the canal. Distances published on the listing include:
Most of the city's headline sights therefore sit within roughly 20 minutes on foot. Trinity College, The Book of Kells and Grafton Street are all comfortable walks, while the National Gallery and the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology are close enough for a morning visit before lunch. Concert-goers heading to the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and fans attending events at the Aviva Stadium can walk there and back without needing a taxi.
The nearest major airport is Dublin Airport (DUB), about 13.6 km from the hotel. If you are travelling from Singapore, you can compare flights to Dublin on Traveloka and then plan the final leg into the city by taxi or public transport. Dublin Port is also about 1.3 km away for travellers arriving by ferry.
Breakfast is the main meal on site. The Leinster serves a cooked-to-order breakfast for a fee, from 7:00 am to 11:00 am on weekdays and from 8:00 am to 11:00 am on weekends. The later weekend window is useful after an evening at the theatre or a match at the Aviva Stadium.
During the day, the hotel's coffee shop/café is the place for snacks and a hot drink, and in the evening the bar/lounge offers a relaxed spot for a drink without leaving the building. Traveloka's property description also refers to a restaurant, while another field lists no separate restaurant outlets, so check the booking page or ask the front desk about current meal service and opening hours before relying on in-house dinner.
For more choice, the hotel's surroundings are a short walk from Baggot Street, Merrion Square and Grafton Street, which together cover a wide spread of cafés, pubs and restaurants on Dublin's south side. A stroll along the Grand Canal or towards the River Liffey can easily be combined with a meal out, and if you want to fill the rest of your day, you can browse Dublin tours and attractions on Traveloka to pair dining with sightseeing.
A stay at The Leinster makes sense for travellers who value a central, walkable base over a long list of resort-style extras. The main reasons to choose it are:
The hotel is a practical fit for couples on a city break, solo travellers and business guests who want to be near the canal-side offices and the city centre. Families should check room occupancy carefully, since the listing does not detail room categories. If you would like to weigh it against other properties, you can compare more hotels on Traveloka before you decide.
Once your room is confirmed, you can manage the booking from your Traveloka account and keep all your trip details in one place. Ready to put the rest of your Ireland itinerary together? Start planning from the Traveloka homepage.
