“Maples House Hotel struck me as a particularly welcoming Dublin option, located as it is in a leafy residential neighborhood near the Botanic Gardens. The fact that it's family-run no doubt contributes to that attentive atmosphere, and the Edwardian building has been renovated to highlight its original charm. I think this could be a good choice for travellers seeking a quieter, more personal experience close to the city center.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Maples House Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Maples House Hotel offers good value, especially considering its location in a quiet residential area, a short walk from Drumcondra bus and train stops and with convenient access to the city center and attractions like the Botanical Gardens. The building itself is a Georgian house with a well-kept landscaped garden. While most found the beds comfortable, a few guests have mentioned that some rooms could use some updating. Overall, it's a handy location for town, Croke Park, and DCU.
