Mespil Hotel, a vast 225-room business hotel just over the canal in Ballsbridge, is a good 15-minute walk from the center of Dublin. Its policy against stag and hen parties, along with a Ballsbridge location, make this a quiet pick.
All the Mespil's rooms have a uniform rate. Because it is a business hotel, the Mespil's rooms can feel a bit crowded with all the obligatory business hotel accoutrements.
We recommend the Mespil's recently renovated rooms, which account for approximately half of the hotel's offerings. These rooms are gleaming and comfortable. Unrenovated rooms have a faded but modern feel, without the glory of the Georgian palaces-turned-guesthouses found elsewhere in Dublin. We also recommend rooms facing the canal, which provide wide, expansive views of the canal and the city beyond it.
Breakfast at the Mespil is not included in the nightly rate. Continental breakfast is available for €8 and Irish breakfast will set you back €12. On the plus side, the Mespil offers room service from 6 am until 9:30 pm.
