“Maples House Hotel, nestled in Glasnevin, benefits from a superb location; the leafy, safe neighborhood is appealing, and the proximity to Dublin's attractions is a genuine plus. While some may find the rooms compact and the lack of an elevator a challenge, the Edwardian building has been beautifully renovated, and the family-run aspect lends a personal touch that's hard to find elsewhere.”

cozy stay

clean areas quiet location informative staff

the communal areas were very clean. the location was quiet, and i barely heard cars at night. i found the staff at check-in and check-out to be lovely and quite informative. they also provided an extra hairdryer.

the room door barely opens because the bed obstructs it. this seems an obvious and serious fire hazard. the bathroom was cramped.

ideal location free parking convenient bar small room thin walls stained grout

The location suited me perfectly. It was a short walk to a bus stop that took me directly to the city center. I found free street parking easily. The in-house bar was convenient for a quick drink after a day of exploring.

The room was quite small for what I paid. I could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway. The bathroom looked a bit old. The grout around the tiles had some staining.
