Schoolhouse Hotel Testimonials

"With ample seating, a friendly service, and an experience not to be found in any other spot around town, The Schoolhouse Hotel & Restaurant has become a favorite place for many locals on any given weekend afternoon. The dining and bar areas are situated where the original classrooms were located, allowing you to take in the history of the site and giving you a chance to relish in the old-world charm that surrounds Ballsbridge.

If you happen to stay here (lucky you!), or stop over for a pint, make sure to sit in the outdoor area should the sun be shining, or by the cozy fireplace should the weather take a turn. With The Grand Canal near by and the Georgian charm of the homes around it, this locale can provide a memorable experience."

"I have always enjoyed my stays at the Schoolhouse. You have a great team working for you who manage to make the hotel seem like home from home. They were always welcoming, helpful and professional. I have always told my colleagues at work the Schoolhouse was one of the best hotels I have stayed in some 29 years of corporate travel"

"I've eaten twice at the Schoolhouse in about two weeks. First in the bar for some bar food and then because it was so good in the restaurant. I ate in the bar on a Wednesday night. There was quite a few people in there (soccer match on) so had a great atmosphere. Usually bar food of chicken wings, burgers, chips, sandwhiches etc. But damn good food and ok priced. I'd surely recommended it. The dinner in the restaurant was just as good. It's a gorgeous restaurant with a very romantic feel. Service is top noch and food to die for. Definitely check it out if you can."

"Rarely have I stayed in an hotel with such comfort and enjoyment. The staff were friendly, helpful and exceptionally polite. For the first time in many years the rooms were something other than uniform and sterile - the whole arrangement stood out in terms of personality and charm. At last, a hotel that recognises that there ought to be no additional charge for the use of internet access and wifi. It was a shame to have to leave..."

"My wife and I spent a week at the Schoolhouse Hotel in early October. I can add very little to what other TA members have said about the hotel. We had an excellent experience at the hotel. The room was good sized, the room was clean, and the breakfast was great."

"Wonderful staff and a great room"

"The staff at the front desk were the most pleasant and helpful of any group I have ever encountered. They try to do everything possible to make your stay memorable. We look forward to staying at the Schoolhouse again."

Met all expectations - thanks Tripadvisor!"

"This hotel is within easy walking distance of Dublin city centre and there is a DART station a 5min walk away. The airport bus stops outside. We found the hotel staff friendly and helpful. 02 Arena is a short taxi ride away."

This Hotel is absolutely outstanding!"

"We much preferred this hotel to a big 'chain' hotel for its individuality, lovely bar and excellent breakfast."
