Tara Towers Hotel Dublin

Be very careful how you book a room in this hotel - possibly the only way to have decent experience here is to book direct. I booked online and when I arrived they had no reservation for me this was 3 days after I paid online. After providing a copy of confirmation the receptionist said that they had to find out who the sister booking company was and that it was obviously one of those deals where they would only get €35 for the booking ! After being repeatedly told by the manager on duty that they had to make sure they would get paid for this room and no reassurances they would provide me a room they eventually gave me a room on the 1st floor. It was so run down it was depressing and it looked nothing like the rooms shown on their website, and my view was of a industrial fan of some sort !!

The rooms are appauling, antiquated and in desperate need of refurbishment. The curtains were ripped at the seems, the carpet faded and olfashioned, an old fashioned tube television on an arm wall bracket which went out years ago. Went to the bar for a drink, ordered a pint of Coors Light, had to send it back as it was fflat, ordered another which was also flat, I was disgusted. The breakfast was terrible and the dining area appauling. I asked for a fried egg easy over, it took 15 mins by which time I had findshed the rest of my breakfast and when it arrived it was burned on both sides and was inedible. The waiting staff were totally inexperienced. The girl on reception was atrocious, all round a bad experience and would certainly never stay there again.

Its a no frills hotel but perefect for an overnight stay if heading to a concert or for a night out Rooms were clean but a bit dated .Staff were nice,friendly & helpful. A group of us stayed here as we were heading to concert in the Aviva. The hotel is about 15 mins walk to the Aviva or there is a very good bus service that runs from directly outside hotel. Buses got every 10 mins. Journey takes 5 mins.
