Buswells Hotel rests on a quiet street that is also close to restaurants and shops.

The building that is now known as Buswells Hotel dates back to the 1800s. Prior to taking on its current name, it was known as the Queen's Institute for the Training and Employment of Educated Women. The first of it's kind on European soil; this groundbreaking college was founded by Dublin businessman Henry Walker Todd and Mrs. Anne Jellicoe, a campaigning Quaker from Mountmellick. By the 1880s the venue had become known as Buswell's Hotel.

Today, the hotel is styled with an elegant and European flare. The windows are draped with luxurious linens, patterned furniture is spread throughout the building and elegant chandeliers and lamps can be found in each room. The walls of the common areas are covered with colorful artwork and large windows that allow lots of natural light to flow in.

Guests are invited to stay in one of the many rooms, with plush bedding, high ceilings, soft carpeting and lots of space to entertain. Each guest room includes complimentary wifi, bottled water, ironing board, tea and coffee.

Guests are also welcome to dine at one of the two on-site restaurants, Truman's Restaurant and Buswell's Bar. Each offer a unique menu of traditional Irish cuisine and top-notch service.

Pros. Very Comfortable bed, spacious room, very close to aircoach to and from airport. Central and yet quiet location. Close to shops and restaurants.

Cons. The sink faucets were a little hard to work with. Toilet was a little noisy due to leaking tank, but it didn’t bother me once I closed the bathroom door.

Pros. The beds were very comfy and the location was great for exploring Dublin. Beautiful and unique hotel. Would stay again. Pay a little more and you get a larger room with larger bathroom as well, feels more relaxed. Lesser priced rooms much smaller.

Cons. Restaurant was just okay. Breakfast was the best meal , dinner was okay , waiter seemed a little fed up with waiting on our group.
