Great value hotel
by TripAdvisor Member weeoffice
Stayed in the Drury Court hotel for 2 nights. The hotel is ideal as a base for exploring Dublin and has a great central location. Rooms were clean and a reasonable size. Hotel staff were helpful and polite although not an Irish accent to be heard! Good breakfast included in the price. If you are looking for a good, cheap hotel in the centre of Dublin to stay in, then I would highly recommend staying in this hotel.

Had a great time. Hotel is ideally situated, the staff are very friendly despite the fact that there are practically no native english-speakers and the rooms are fine. Breakfast is yummy if you do manage to make it down in time.... finishes a bit early for party-goers! Would deffo stay there again - and would recommend it.
Excellent Location

Stayed here for one night on the 26th April. The hotel is very basic but perfectly adaquate. The rooms are average size. Ours had a double and a single. The double was a 4ft 6" bed, so if you are used to bigger you have been warned. The bathroom was tiled from floor to ceiling and again was clean and in good nick. The only complaint was the water never reached anything over luck warm. We requested and got a double on the fourth floor to avoid the noise issues other reviewers experienced. This did the trick and we had no problems. The breakfast room is also quite basic but the breakfast was fine and the service good.
The best thing about this hotel is its location. Two minutes from Grafton St and right in the middle of everything. It is more suitable for use as a base for shopping, touring, etc rather than as a romantic getaway location. But really at €99 b&b it is the cheapest city centre hotel of its standard that I have come across. Would definitely go back.

My husband and I traveled to Ireland on our honeymoon. The first half of our trip we stayed at Dromoland Castle and Brook Lane Hotel in Kenmare. Both treated us like royalty, both upgraded our rooms when they heard we were newlyweds. We eagerly drove across the country (no small fete on those roads!) toward Dublin and the remainder of our trip. The exterior of The Drury Court is modern and sits in the midst of one of the city's best and most bustling sections. This is where the good news ends. Everything about this hotel stunk, from the moment we entered the front doors. No one bothered to help us as we struggled in with our luggage. When we mentioned our honeymoon, they didn't bat an eye. Then we get up to our room, after hopping over garbage bags and vaccuum cords in the corriders, and we are overcome by an unbelievable stench when we open the door. Besides this unexplicable stink, the room was easily the ugliest hotel/motel room I've ever stayed in- complete with window overlooking a dumpster and construction site. The "new" 12-inch table top tv was missing a remote that they apologized for but did nothing about. As for the stench, after being told there were no other rooms available, a day and a half later one of the many Eastern Europeans working there (there are no Irish folks at Drury Court!) brought up a scented candle and scented room spray. Super! Oh, and lest I forget the tub that had been covered with one of those cheap bathroom re-finishing deals of plastic rather than actually replacing tubs. It was all smashed in on the side.
I can only hope someone reads this and opts for a different hotel in Dublin!
Good value city centre hotel

We took advantage of the 1p Ryan Air seat sale & booked 3nts at the Drury Court. We arrived in Dublin early morning, took the airlink bus into the city centre - O'Connell St.(10 euro return) & a taxi to the hotel to drop off our luggage . We were greeted by a smiling face receptionist, she gave us directions into the centre (2mins away)& off we went to begin our short stay in Dublin. We went back to the hotel just after 2pm to check in. We had a short wait for our room (10mins) & then received the key with directions to our room. We had requested a 4th floor room (due to reading other posts) which we got, room 407 was clean & spacious with all the usual conveniences. We experienced no noise from the street below & have no negative comments reqarding our stay. I could carry on & describe everything about the hotel, but I feel I would be stating the obvious reqarding any city centre hotel. Our 3nt stay was completely as we expected it to be, the hotel is modern & clean. the staff are pleasant & knowledge-able. Maid service is good & breakfast choice good - try the smoked salmon & scrambled egg ;o)
We had a late flight back to the UK & again left our luggage behind reception until we made our way back to the airport. I would definately use this hotel again & recommend to others.
