I even don't know where to start. We reserved the room by phone and they needed the credit card number. Mine didn't work multiple times and we had to try another card number. At arrival I payed the room with the one which didn't work before and it suddenly worked again. Strange. Then the staff was not very friendly. The room is not clean at all and we had to get the receptionist to clean the bathroom. You also can't open the window to let fresh air in (probably some strange safety measure). Noise from the hallway can be heard very well in the room. Also, WiFi is not really usable and extremly slow - don't even try it. Even for EUR 90 for 3 people it is too expensive but it was the only offer in that price range for this night. Fortunately we only stay 1 night.
I could possibly give a second star as room was cleanish but here’s why I won’t: pictures show the room we got for 143 euros, yes 143. Not taken to our room but were given directions to our room at the back building next to rooms made out of containers, throughout the night I was kept awake as you could clearly hear people walking and what they were saying from all sides of the room. Hand wash dispenser in shower cubicle labelled as body/shampoo, hilarious, to wash hands you need to keep pressing the knob down for water. All that after we requested a room change as heating was not working in our first assigned room. At least new room has an electric radiator but twin beds instead of double! Definitely NOT getting what you pay for!!!
Staff are very polite and helpful. The room wasn't so great as we had damp on one wall which made it smell a little fusty. Also had no hairdryer in the room.
What I like about this place is it's affordability and great location; walking distance to everywhere you want to see, shopping streets and public transport. The rooms are very, very basic and if you're on the backside, the noise from the road can keep you awake at night. The staff are friendly and helpful. It gets full from Friday. As hotels in Dublin are pretty expensive, this is still a good bargain. The Wi-fi is excellent!
You get a lot for the low price of this hotel. Bed was great, room wad clean and personal very friendly.
The front faces the road so there is no silence during most of the night. There is also a pub at the corner of the building with quite loud live music and singing until the midnight. The windows are old-fashioned wooden ones with little noise protection so if you are after a good sleep it's not your hotel. Other than that the hotel is an usual one for two stars to stay in it. The room we got was a decent one, clean and comfortable for our basic needs. I suggest replacing the front windows with better ones.
Clean but tired decor. Good location but noisy in front rooms.
It's a very tacky, run down hotel where it's very clear that there's no money being put back into the business. From charging over 100 per night, I've slept in garden sheds that were in better condition.
This hotel is very basic, but it's a great place if you don't plan on spending too much time in the hotel. They actually hold on to your key for you when you leave, so there's no chance of losing it which I loved. We had a room on the first floor against the road, and as long as the window is closed it's really not loud. The only time I woke up from noise is when large amounts of people returned from the bars, but it didn't really bother me. The wifi also works very well!!
Central Location, small rooms pretty good breakfast but what more do want more money left over for the Guinness..
More like NO STARS. The one Bar staff that works there is a pervert. He wont let me into the hotel because I wouldn't sleep with him. Mosse Tynan shouldn't be working there. The manager doesn't realise that he's losing customers. I would not recommend The Maple Hotel to anyone. Bar Man Mosse hits on any woman that is plastered drunk and everything else. I've told loads of people about this place. He also takes advantage whether the woman is in a relationship or not. He doesn't care if your married. He's disgusting and it's despicable that the manager let's this happen after I reported it. I was heavily pregnant about 7 and half months and he wouldn't let me use the ladies. He cursed a lot at me and rude and obnoxious. I ended up in hospital the same night he wouldn't let me use the ladies bathroom. It's disgusting that they they let these sort of people run so called hotels. IT'S A DISGRACE.
I would tell everyone that is reading this review, do not go into the maple hotel or book there. There are plenty of nicer and pleasant and better places to stay in Dublin.
Just a simple hotel. Found some bugs on the pillows and the clearness was average. Our room was on the 3Rd floor, no elevator! It was the cheapest we could find for that period but I wouldn't visit it again. On the plus side the location was good.
The hotel room was average. A lot of street noise but that was to be expected since it was on a major road. No hot water in bathroom sink but the shower was fine since it had its own point of use water heater. Had to keep reprogramming the TV to get the limited amount of cable channels to come in. The bed was fairly comfortable. The pub in the lobby was quaint and quite and the locals were very nice and personable as well as the bar manager. I would suggest putting a mini fridge or microwave in the room. It would be a nice convince for the guests.
My partner and I stayed here in March 2015. Due to it being the quiet season we were given a family room at no extra cost. The room was in a quiet corner on the ground floor. Only once in our 5 night stay did we hear any outside noise from the pub below.
Hotel was well located close to O'Connell street and the main attractions of the city. Would recommend during the off-peak season.
