Charming hotel a short walk from everything

My wife and I stayed at the Schoolhouse on our very first trip to Dublin. I chose it for the character of the property, and it did not disappoint. The rooms very nice and seemed to have been upgraded fairly recently. However, it was the common areas that set the hotel apart. The vaulted dining room and bar area were charming and gave a sense of what the building was like when it was originally built. Also, the old-school keys were a nice touch. The compromise for this charm was location, not being in the center of Dublin. Still, the 20-minute walk to Trinity college was not bad since the weather during our stay was cooperative. I can also recommend the gastropub. We thought we'd just make use of the restaurant for breakfast but at the end of a long day of sightseeing we chose to have dinner at the hotel several nights. A good meal and then straight to bed!
Leave your key at the front desk during the day unless you want a workout.
Beautiful front courtyard with outdoor pub seating.

Staff in the dining area and cleaning staff are excellent - professional and genuinely friendly!!! Thank you. Buffet good! Cooked breakfast, less so. Bed very comfy and room size good. Rather faded glory and outside areas shabby snd dirty. … a little updating is overdue. Shower very weak. . The lift was out of order over 3 days so had to carry case up two flights of stairs. The hotel is well positioned for lots of places of interest in the city. I had meetings and one day missed food all day. I asked in the bar and at reception if a bag of crisps or a banana could be found ( since there was no mini bar). The answer was an emphatic no “ not after10pm” with zero concern and a swift return to her conversation with another staff member. Certainly no genuine customer care for a mature lady on her own. I appreciated that a taxi was ordered and came on time. Apart from the first night, reception was professional but lacking ANY pathic communication and whilst language skills were excellent, there wasn’t the usual warmth and rapport found in most Irish hotels. Maybe the reception area needs rethinking along with reception staff training around the word hospitality? The truth is that you can get more and pay less.

The room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable with a good combination of foam and feather pillows. Good shower, although the power was a bit weak. Wardrobe doors had signs of damage which had not been sorted. Window out to the rear of the property with food bins from the kitchen being raded by seagulls. Pleasant! The service was ok, although I feel the attitude to a request for room service seemed an inconvenience and non-resident Bistro customers were given precedence (or so it appeared). Expensive rates which were not reflected in the level of service or approach.

Perfect for a quiet nights sleep in a large bedroom. Mine (and it appears most) were on the basement level which is a shame but some natural light still comes through.

The rooms in the Schoolhouse are extremely comfortable with efficient heating and cooling as required. Television channel limited. The food offering was not as remembered from previous stays. Menu very limited and the chef appears to have a large container of shredded spring onions which are liberally sprinkled onto everything from scrambled eggs with smoked salmon to fried eggs to caesar salad!

Wonderful staff, lovely hotel, great pub/restaurant … met all of our needs except one … we wanted to leave one small suitcase at the hotel for 5 days while we bicycled in Connemara between our 2 stays at the Schoolhouse, but they have nowhere to store guests’ luggage. We were advised to try the bus station or train station to find a locker. We overheard another guest with the same request who seemed dismayed with no time to fix the problem. I wish a better solution could be found.

Lovely little hotel

Cozy hotel with friendly and helpful staff, centrally located. 24h reception is great for coming and going as you like, without having to worry about room keys. Some wear visible in the bathroom, otherwise the room was in excellent condition.
