No noise at all from railway bridge overhead. Rooms very smart(if a little small) BUT very well packaged - ironing board/iron, hairdryer, tea/coffee - Complimetary bottled water - all a very nice touch. Location very central - just a 5 minute walk straight up Talbot Street onto O'connell street (spire)- Buses do run directly opposite hotel if needed. Breakfast SUPERB - Full Irish (2 sausages, 2 bacon, scrambled egg, fried egg, black and white pudding, tomato, beans, toast, hash brown. Also continental breakfast and as much fresh juice, tea and coffee as you like - BRILLIANT really sets you up for the day- Overall great value. Highly reccomended - would certainly stay there agian.

Great hotel and would stay there again. Great location with easy access to central Dublin. Breakfast could have been better, staff not that friendly and they slop your food on the plate like you are in some kind of school hostel. Other than that we will stay here again in a heartbeat.

We both felt the Ripley Court was an excellent hotel and was excellent value for money. The location of this hotel is perfect for all local tourism and shopping and although the area the hotel is situated it is a little run down the hotel itself more than makes up for this - this hotel proves that you should definitely not judge a book by its cover.

The rooms were clean, tidy and quiet. The bar was very quiet but reasonable. It was very difficult getting back into the hotel from the basement car park - you had to prop the door open to make sure you could access the stairs or just hope that the gates at the top of the ramp stayed open.

The rooms were a bit threadbare but extremely clean . The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to help. The location is great and I had a two really good night' sleep there as the room was really quiet which I hadn't expected as the hotel is on a busy road.

My first time in Dublin with a friend and was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the hotel and room as compared to the street outside. Absolutely a hotel that gives you value for money. The location is great and convenient in terms of transport as the bus station is merely a 5 minute walk but get the directions from the kind and friendly staff especially Angeline, a Malaysian. The room given us was more than bargained for, in fact was thought to be a mistake because of it being so spacious. One warning is of the noise that could be heard if you are in the wrong side of the hotel, because of the trains running above. I was lucky that only a distant sound was heard but I am not sure of othher rooms. All in all, the hotel and service was great for the money and is highly recommended to those conscious of thrift!

Everything was fine, nice and clean rooms and fresh bathrooms! Breakfast OK! Staff friendly and helpful! Close to the city centre, just a few blocks away from Connell Street and walking distance to everything we wanted to see! One thing I would have needed was an adapter to be able to charge my mobile telephone - the hotel had just a few of these and were not available for all guests...

The Ripley Court is a fantastic hotel, full of traditional Irish Charm & hospatality.My partner & I arrived on a tuesday tvening & were pleasently welcomed by the reception staff in the hotel who informed us of services available & directed us to our room. A Lovley Spacious warmly decorated room on the second floor. We had dinner Arrangments that evening so sadly did not get to try the Hotel Evening Menu. However the Irish Breckfast in the morning was superb & the dining room was lovley with Murals of Dublin in by-gone times. All-in-all I was Amazed to find such a Quality Hotel at such a resonable cost. Well done to all the staff & Keep up the good work. We are looking foward to our next stay already.

The room was clean and functional. The bathroom was a bit tight for manouvering. However the view of a stone wall as the only view from the room made it unpleasant to be in. The staff were robotic, offered no welcome, were mostly Eastern European,and lacking any character or conversation. I could have been anywhere. The breakfast was ok, but not ok enough to actually look forward to it. Coffee was pretty good. We would not stay there again or recommend it. The website did'nt state that some rooms had no daylight them, and were opressive.

We wanted no frills, and got it. The admin staff we good and helpful. The garage parking was a welcome bonus and was a factor in our choice of hotel. The rooms all had some facilities niggles, but nothing to complain about. Sleep was occasionally broken in Room 319 as it overlooks what I presume was kithchen/air conditioning fans which cut in and out at all hours. Overall, I would choose the hotel again.

It is not a flash hotel, it is a bit tweed and needs updating in parts. However it was clean and comfortable and offered good value for money. Good location too, centre of town only 10 min stroll. On the down side, they just do not cater for smokers at all and if anything I felt that there was a strong anti-smoker policy, I wouldn't stay there again for that reason. There was a notice in the room stating that "it is illegal to smoke in these premises", however this is a falsehood, it is not illegal to smoke in a hotel room in Ireland. They should distinguish between their Policies and the law of the land, there is a difference.
