阿普克勞斯之家酒店(Uppercross House Hotel)

wonderful staff, great food (free breakfasts) also at dinner in the pub. Live music. Very very comfortable bed. Clean and bright. Quiet rooms! Convenient location, near bus stop. Live music in the bar. There was 1 thing that I did not like: the number of staircases. Even using an elevator, you still need to be able to get up & down a couple of steep staircases to get into the dining room and to reach that elevator.

I liked the UpperCRoss for a lot of reasons, it was clean, historic, with free parking. We arrived fairly late on Saturday due to a flight delay. The bars outside were packed and loud. The front lobby was pounding with bass. It was noisy until after 2. Breakfast was wonderful, and overall, it’s a great place if you’re a young person looking for easy pub access and nightlife close by.

Un piccolo hotel arredato con un misto di mobili antichi e moderni che creano un mix interessante e caratteristico. Io e le mie colleghe abbiamo soggiornato in questo albergo ognuna in stanza singola ma molto diverse tra loro. Diciamo che la mia stanza era ampia, luminosa e spaziosa con servizi nuovi. Purtroppo le mie colleghe si sono ritrovate una in quella che forse un tempo era una stanza di servizio: molto piccola e angusta e l'altra in una stanza accessibile solo con una scala stretta e molto ripida e senza armadio. Punti forti: pulizia, personale cordiale e attento, colazione in una bella sala con possibilità di ordinare anche piatti caldi della tradizione . La posizione è eccellente: molto comoda con fermate degli autobus per il centro, negozi e diversi locali e pubs nelle immediate vicinanze.

I wasnt happy. I booked this room last minute. I really expected more with the good reviews of it on here. The floor my room was on had a sewage type smell, I found the same smell in my room. There were obvious cobwebs and dust on the ceiling . A spider crawled over me during the night, having a major fear of spiders this was very frightening for me. The tap in the bathtub/ shower was faulty, took me 10/15 minutes to get shower going. This isn't good enough for the price. On checkout, I wasnt even asked how was my stay, I would have informed staff then, but they didnt bother even asking me.

Uppercross House is a wonderful way to experience a Dublin stay just a few minutes bus ride from city center amid the many stores, pubs and sites the city has to offer away from the crowds! The food and pub provide a wonderful respite after a day of touring! We enjoyed the chance to be in an area that afforded us a chance to experience hotels of another genre that had history on display!

It was my first trip away after major illness, so I decided to maximise my enjoyment by making my journey as easy as I could. Flights to and from France were bookended by one night stays in the Uppercross House Hotel in Rathmines, and the Phoenix Park Hotel, chosen for its proximity to Heuston Station and the train home. Had I known way back in January what I do today, I’d have booked both nights at the Uppercross House Hotel, and used the money I saved on the room to pay for a taxi to the station. My experiences at the two hotels could not be more different. At the Uppercross House Hotel my welcome, my room, my breakfast and every encounter with the staff was excellent. The staff in particular were exceptional: caring, friendly and professional. The cost of my room with breakfast was over €30 less than the Phoenix Park Hotel, and both my requests for a top floor room and a room away from the road were realised. In contrast my welcome at the Phoenix Park Hotel made me feel like a criminal. I always greet staff with a big smile. In response, in stead of “Hello!” or “Good afternoon!” I received “I.D. Please.” Then I found out that my booking didn’t include breakfast, and that no cooked breakfast was available. I accept both hotels are in the city, and therefore noise was inevitable, but the Phoenix Park Hotel ignored both my requests, giving me a first floor room at the apex of a busy traffic junction. Both window latches were broken, so I went to reception to request a room change, and was moved to another first floor room that also had broken window latches. Then I was kept awake all night by banging and thumping above me (that’s why I prefer top floor rooms.) The bathroom had a blocked sink and cracked floor tiles. Next time I stay in Dublin I’ll be at the splendid little Uppercross House Hotel, enjoying an evening down the road at Slattery’s excellent pub.

The Uppercross house hotel in Dublin For two nights prior to our cruise on July 24, 2023 we scheduled The Uppercross House Hotel located on 23-32 Upper Rathmines Rd, Dublin 6. Hotel selection was based on proximity to the cruise terminal. We were allowed into the room at noon. Hotel not offering transfers from the Dublin airport (DUB) to the hotel and taxi fare was 40 euro + tip. Room was clean, with Queen bad and double bad. We arrived to hotel at 12:20 pm and they allowed us in the room where prep work was just completed. To get to the reception one needs to go through steps and it might present an issue for visitors with heavy luggage or mobility issues. So, before stepping in ask receptionist how to get inside through the car parking area. Hotel also provided safe, electric tea pot with selection of teas and coffees. The breakfast is included with the room charges and they provided very good hot and cold breakfast selections. It was a good two nights stay prior to our cruise to Norway. Good Travels

This is a great Hotel and I have stayed there a few times. Very friendly staff, a Car Park and a good choice for Breakfast. It's about a 15/20 walk to the City or just about 5/6 mins on the Luas which is about 9 mins from Hotel
