Wynn's Hotel

Built in 1845, Wynn's hotel has been standing for over 150 years. They have long prided themselves on their good service, punctuality, and history.

I have traveled to ten countries now, and have hiked extensively in two continents. I usually stay in Airbnb establishments for the prices and the community of travelers, but since I went on a trip with a tour group of singers from the United States, I went with what the tour group signed on for.

I had room 253, a four star double room that contained a queen and a double, and stayed with a friend on the trip for two nights. The prices are moderate, and you get what you pay for.

The room overlooked the busy Abbey Street in the center of town, and was about a fifteen minute walk from several major attractions. You will always have something to do and exercise to achieve.

They offer a full continental breakfast and Irish breakfast every morning incurred with the facility cost, and offer a full range of options from a full Irish Breakfast to a Vegetarian Scramble. You are also no more than a five minute walk from many local restaurants and bars that all offer cheap to moderately priced meals.

The housekeepers and kitchen staff all prided themselves on creative and prompt service. For instance, I accidentally poured tea into my cup, expecting coffee, and they walked by and offered me an entirely new cup. The maids made the bed fresh every day, deep cleaned the room, and dropped off new toiletries, even though we still had some left over from the prior night. The front desk attendants provided a wealth of information on things to do in the area, and made sure our room keys were kept safe when we left the facility.

There are several amenities offered in the hotel, including a pool and a bar. Trinity College and the Christ Church are two major attractions that were only a 20 minute walk or so away.

Although the toiletries weren't top quality, they were functional and well worth the extra. The bed was comfortable and had plenty of sheets to keep warm with and the television had about thirteen channels in four languages.

Overall, staying at the Wynn's hotel was a great experience. I recommend it to anyone who is keeping up on city life in Dublin.
