Overall Ratings & Reviews Schoolhouse Hotel

Perfect for a quiet nights sleep in a large bedroom. Mine (and it appears most) were on the basement level which is a shame but some natural light still comes through.

Front desk personnel were pleasant and informative

The rooms in the Schoolhouse are extremely comfortable with efficient heating and cooling as required. Television channel limited. The food offering was not as remembered from previous stays. Menu very limited and the chef appears to have a large container of shredded spring onions which are liberally sprinkled onto everything from scrambled eggs with smoked salmon to fried eggs to caesar salad!

Excellent place to stay well looked after. The breakfast was very good and the chicken wings at the bar were the best we ever had. Staff are very good and helpful.

Wonderful staff, lovely hotel, great pub/restaurant … met all of our needs except one … we wanted to leave one small suitcase at the hotel for 5 days while we bicycled in Connemara between our 2 stays at the Schoolhouse, but they have nowhere to store guests’ luggage. We were advised to try the bus station or train station to find a locker. We overheard another guest with the same request who seemed dismayed with no time to fix the problem. I wish a better solution could be found.

Good bed and shower.

I would stay here again

Loved staying at The School House

I chose the hotel for the character of the property, and it did not disappoint. The rooms very nice and seemed to have been upgraded fairly recently. However, it was the common areas that set the hotel apart. The vaulted dining room and bar area were charming and gave a sense of what the building was like when it was originally built. Also, the old-school keys were a nice touch. The compromise for this charm was location, not being in the center of Dublin. Still, the 20-minute walk to Trinity college was not bad since the weather during our stay was cooperative. I can also recommend the gastropub. We thought we'd just make use of the restaurant for breakfast but at the end of a long day of sightseeing we chose to have dinner at the hotel several nights. A good meal and then straight to bed!

Breakfast was slow service and cold room.

My son and I stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the location, style and personal touches of the hotel. It's a charasmatic hotel with charm and fabulous personality. It's clean and comfortable with easy access to all areas of Dublin.

It was a lovely room I stayed in - will return

Lift was out of order. One female staff member requires extensive customer service training as it was non existent. Standing over people to promptly finish their drinks is not an acceptable way to treat hotel guests & customers. There was also no residents bar facilities. Breakfast was also of a poor standard. Requested a call back from the duty manager, still waiting?

This property is with easy walking distance of most everything, yet feels more secluded. It’s only about a five minute walk to the Hop on- Hop off bus and many restaurants and shops. More than anything else, though, the staff is absolutely wonderful. They go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

The staff was wonderful. They helped us with any and all questions, that we had. Very quiet! Easy walk to Trinity, Temple Bar area. Charming and unique. The food was great.

This was a nice place to stay and only about a 15 minute walk to the central sites in Dublin. if you stay here you dont need a car. The restaurant was really nice and the staff friendly. The only set back we had was that they were trimming trees the whole time we were there and it was right outside our window and was loud during the day

Very nice staff and facility was clean and very comfortable.

We asked for a quiet room as the hotel is on a busy road out of Dublin. Our room at the back was very very quiet and I think most rooms will also be quiet. The breakfast was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and professional. Dining in the restaurant in the evening was good but there could have been more choice with perhaps a fresh fish option.

Amazing all round !
