Comfort Inn Hotel, Smithfield

I was up in Dublin all day thursday and pretty much all day yesterday..

We stayed in the Comfort Inn, Smithfield after i found it last minute at a really great price - €89. It was ranked #6 on tripadvisor, so i knew it was a quality hotel. Anyway, we weren’t disappointed.

Here’s a lovely panoramic snap of our room - unedited in autostitch as i couldn’t be arsed cleaning it up and cropping it

The hotel itself doesn’t have much apart from a restaurant/bar and bedrooms - in fact, it has nothing apart from that But what is there is top notch in terms of cleanliness, style, service etc..

The room is worthy of a 4* rating.. no robes or fancy shampoo bottles, plus no room service or turn down service - add in them and it would be 4* imo

Breakfast was €7 each (self-service/buffet) - dirt cheap for a hotel. Smithfield itself is pretty dead. A big load of modern office blocks all empty There was a huge supermarket literally next door to the hotel so that was sweet as we could just pop in and take stuff up to our room. There was also a smaller ‘Spar’ shop across the road but i don’t get it how they both stay open as anytime we were there, the place was dead.

Luas stop was a 1 min walk away. And smithfield is 2 stops away from Jervis St so about a 5 minute journey into the city centre. We could infact see the spire from our window so it looked walkable but i reckon it would take 20-30 minutes - not an option when it’s thunder and lightening and pissing rain

So all in all a great hotel at a great price. Pitty the weather was so bad as it rained on and off yet it was pretty sticky when you’re walking around - hate that
