The Dean Dublin Docklands- Formerly The Mayson

Our room was hilariously small but it was a dream! We picked their smallest room and it was COMPACT but absolutely perfect. The view was just of the next building as they did construction, but who cares. We were exhausted international travelers and they let us check into our room early which was EVERYthjng. We had the best macchiatos in the lobby, too!

The staff is so kind, friendly, and accommodating. Martin, Lali, and Marina were an absolute delight. They accommodated a last minute request and made sure our luggage’s were sent to both rooms. Lali even took my luggage downstairs and bought me a coffee <3 I do recommend having some fans for the rooms with no ac, but other than that everything was clean, smelling good, well decorated and I’d go back there anytime.

Lovely full size Georgian suite with contemporary furnishings.

Where do I begin? I want to say this hotel is a pig with lipstick on but that would be an insult to pigs. Rooms are moldy, in disrepair, and floors and bathrooms are grimey. Toilet could barely manage to flush some toilet paper even after 3+ flushes. We would wake up freezing because the heater wouldn’t keep running. No fan to speak of so there is mold. However, when the occupants in the rooms above/nearby us showered, our room would fill with humidity to the point where we had to open the sliding glass door to get fresh air (even though we were already cold due to heater issues). Additionally, another effect of there being no fan, while I was blow drying my hair, apparently some silent alarm went off so we had staff banging on our door claiming we set the alarm off for the whole building? Then proceeded to tell me not to sit under the faire alarm while drying my hair, as if I have a choice? It’s one small room and there is no outlet in the bathroom. The lady who checked us in was completely confused and acted like it was her first day.. on Earth. The bar on ground floor plays karaoke until past midnight, good luck trying to sleep through that. Gym was closed. I could go on but I’m running out of characters. Also, I know this wasn’t a one-off because we were staying here with friends, they had all the same issues, tried to complain and move rooms, and still had the same issues in the new room! The only pros: bed was nice and comfy, and the coffee shop in the lobby is good.

Rooms super small. Shower was a lesson in patience in trying to find a temperature not cold. Walls paper thin, got to hear details of everyone’s stay around me from birthdays to couple’s bedroom ‘activities’. Overpriced. Great location however to grab the train and walk to Aviva.

This hotel was a gem! Tucked away on the riverfront, this hotel was a perfect landing place upon arriving in Ireland for the first time. The bus from the airport was a straight shot and took less than 15 minutes. I thought I would check my bag (which they offer) and explore the city as I arrived in the early morning, and the normal check-in time is not until the afternoon. But Martin, the wonderful human at the front desk, had a room ready for me right away! The rooms are small but have everything you need with over-the-top interior design throughout the property. After a full day of exploring the city, I asked the front desk if there was any way to dine in the hotel restaurant. With their assistance, I was able to score a table on the patio with a view of the river for dinner. Dino, the waiter, was delightful. After the lovely meal, I took advantage of the hotel pool, sauna, and steam room in the basement, which were clean, the staff was friendly, and the changing room was well-appointed. Before returning to my room and crawling into a large, clean bed. I had an absolutely great time from start to finish of my stay!

The rooms were very nice but also very small. The property seems to have a lot of late night partiers that were screaming in the hallways for quite awhile at 2am.

Funky hotel! We loved it the only slight whinge (note, it’s slight) is that the bedroom was so small that you could only get out of one side of the bed! Also, when the curtains were open the workmen from the building across the way could see into our room. That’s 2 whinges. The location is great. The Ryleigh restaurant is wonderful. We would return but pay for a bigger room.

The staff was awesome and super kind. Our room was extremely tiny though, for the price of what the room was per night, I wish we booked another hotel in the area. My husband and I felt like we were in a closet. The amenities and food were really nice though.

Travelled for a concert at the 3 arena and only had a 5 minute walk to get to it. The room was clean, tidy and had character. Enjoyed good food and a great cocktail and made the most of having a heated outdoor pool. Staff were very friendly and helpful

The bedroom was very bright all night which made sleeping difficult. The curtains were not fully connected to their runners. The resturant menus was not reflective of the resturant menus online (website)

Fantastic location a couple of minutes straight walk to the 3arena. Lovely rooms. Had an amazing meal at Riley’s on the rooftop for my daughter’s 21st. Breakfast menu original and excellent quality.

All Good👌

Staff in Elephant & Castle very disorganized. Waited to be served while 3 staff looked the other way. Had to walk around the bar to ask for service.

Clean room. Reasonably priced. Near the 3arena and the Luas so handy to get around. Would stay here again.

Room is small. A Smeg fridge, tea kettle, & Nescafé machine in room. 👍 Shower is lovely except it doesn’t drain quick enough. Pillows. 👍 Pool is really a huge hot tube with only one spot where bubbles work. Gym looked nice. Great steam sauna. Breakfast is not included. Nice place but go to their actual website. We were way overcharged on Expedia.

Nice, front desk staff were especially friendly.

Excellent staff and property--beautifully located and great restaurants connected to hotel. Very welcoming--the hotel was a highlight of our stay!

Loved our stay, beautiful hotel bar and a pub next door, 30 minutes walk from Connolly Street. Breakfast was lovely, and last but not least, we got to spend our morning in the spa. Heaven! I will be back!

The Mayson is a fine hotel, but for touring Dublin it is a bit removed so keep that in mind if planning to walk. The staff tried their best to be helpful, but they also double charged us, gave us incorrect/confusing parking instructions which caused us to get stuck in a parking garage. It’s very evidently a hotel catered to the neighboring concert arena, not touring the city.
