The Camden Court Hotel

Amazing friendly staff. Delicious breakfast, and the restaurant is amazing! The residence bar is a fun place to hangout in the evenings. The rooms are very comfortable, and have a pleasing aesthetic. We spent 3 days here and had a wonderful visit.
Be prepared to walk. Some of the rooms are a ways from the elevators, and if that is the biggest negative, really, how can you go wrong. Use the walk to stretch the legs or walk off the Guinness.

Very disappointed with the food, expected more for 11 euro. I had roast beef and with veg and mash. The veg where cooked from frozen and the mash was the fake potatoes ‘smash’ — the gravy was just like water. Wouldn’t eat here again. But on the plus side the table water was cold and the seating area is really nice!

Good, centrally located hotel. Have stayed here a couple of times whilst visiting Dublin and find it very comfortable. Rooms are pleasant, if a little warm in the summer time. There’s car parking and it’s just a short walk to the city centre. Have never eaten in the hotel so I’m not sure what the food is like. There’s a nice, safe feel to Camden Court Hotel and it’s definitely one of my first choices for reasonably priced, central hotel accommodation in Dublin.

So we had a Christening party here on Saturday and it was great. The area we were seated in, the service and the staff and the food — everyone gave it a big thumbs up. Docking a star because it was too warm and there didn’t appear to be a way to lower it, according to the staff.
We had a small area off the main open area that seated 22 perfectly. The meal choices were really nice and everyone said their food was lovely. The staff were very helpful and pleasant and helped us with everything.
When the meal was over, everyone moved to the seating area in the bar and one girl, who was only 9, tripped and fell on the steps to the area. The poor thing hurt her knee a bit (though her pride took a bigger hit, I think). A member of staff was over in a flash to see if she was okay. 5 minutes later he returned with a great big brownie, presented beautifully, for the girl.
We were delighted to have gone there and would be happy to recommend it for a function.

I stayed in the Camden Court Hotel at the end of November while on business. The hotel is well located, near my office and with a lot of interesting sites nearby. The room was a good, the bed nice and firm. The breakfast was ok. The pool was great — salt water. The health club attendant was great, very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful lobby and hotel. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Front desk staff was a bit snobbish in my opinion, dry and not very friendly. They do offer a nice continental/​Full Irish breakfast buffet and found both the food we had from room service and in the pub tasted good as well. There was definitely too much street noise in our room. Open the window and the loud hustle-​bustle washed in. Close the window and very soon it was hot and stuffy. We did use a circulating fan on our last night but, circulating hot, dry air did not equal comfort. Bathroom was a nice size and I did like the rain shower bath. No fan in there however so after your steamy shower it will stay steamy for some time. Can’t use the blowdryer to speed up the process either. It is securely attached inside a drawer outside the bathroom but, that is just nitpicking. Not sure if I would stay again simply because of the street noise, oh and no airport shuttle service either.

This hotel is a great value. The proprietors are obviously invested in making sure guests are comfortable. The hotel has a nice gym, is clean, quiet, and convenient. I will stay here again.

I had a 2 night stay and found it to be a very nice and clean hotel. Mine was a pleasure trip, but this hotel would be great for business meetings, they are very well set up. Nice gym, friendly wait staff in the Iveagh Restaurant, dinner menu and full breakfast beyond expectations.

On our trip to Ireland, my daughter did a wonderful job finding this Hotel. In a city where you could make a lot of mistakes booking the wrong place to stay.
This is a major winner.
To start with a wonderful location. Right in the middle of downtown Dublin.
The rooms are very clean with a wonderful bathroom that has a great big bathtub.
Steam heat which is awesome on those cold windy days when you have walk about all day. The room heats up quickly. Then you can turn it off when you are ready for bed and sleep with the window open which I find is another great plus.
A fantastic gym and indoor swimming pool downstairs. Even with your own workout trainer, at no extra cost. One thing about the pool, ladies must wear a swimming cap. If you do not have one, you can buy one for just 2 Euro.
The restaurant downstairs, serves a fantastic breakfast Buffet every morning. Absolutely anything you could want is on the menu.
The staff is friendly and fantastic! Lets not forget free Wifi not only in the lobby but, in the rooms as well.
If I ever went back to Dublin, I would stay here no matter what. They even got us a taxi every time we needed it. The bar was also nice downstairs, with live music on certain days and you could have a meal there as well.

I had good expectations for the hotel when I entered. The lobby looked modern clean and bright and the receptionist was polite.
However, on stepping out of the lifts, I felt like I had bee moved back in time.
The hallways were dated (although clean) and the décor old fashioned. But, again, it looked clean so continued to be hopeful.
The room was small again with dated furniture with a sticker on the wall with an arrow pointed down to the radiator valve providing an instruction on its use.
Being tired and wet from getting in, I sat down on the bed which again looked clean and comfy, only to find this rock hard and very uncomfortable.
The pillows were flat and could not be manipulated into any shape bar the flat one. The cover was the same.
My 2 night stay sleeps were uncomfortable. Whilst I enjoy a firm bed, I like soft pillows and covers which mould and can be manipulated into the best shape for you.
I also recall, and checked on my booking form, that I had booked a double room not a twin room. Double = double bed right? Well, this had two singles.
The shower in the morning would not get hot in time so ended up with a tepid morning shower.
I am not very fussy in my accommodation at hotels but things that are a must were disappointedly missing from this one.
Room service was OK. Nothing to shout about but decent value. Free WiFi has a good strong connection so could catch up on videos.
Sound proofing is terrible woken up numerous times during the early mornings with doors slamming.
When I checked out, I waiting for the receptionist to ask how my stay was, this question was not forth coming. I therefore offered my response letting her know that, although it was booked and confirmed for a double room, what I got was a twin. I expected a ‘sorry about that’ or a ‘you should have said and we would have moved you’, just something from the customer service book but, all I got was a ‘oh’ and ‘could you put your pin in please?’.
Never say never, but 1 night stay here would definitely be enough.

I’ve been to this hotel on a number of occasions. Although I’ve never stayed there I’ve used the Gym and conference facilities & eaten here plenty!
They gym is very basic, has most things required for a good workout, but defo not a spot for the fitness fanatic. As far as hotel gyms go this place is pretty good though.
The conference facilities are fine, they schedule regular tea-​breaks into your day however the only options available for snacks on these breaks are biscuits — not great for the health conscious visitor, or for anyone who may be wheat intolerant (we’re not all intolerant to the gluten you know?! Some of us can’t have bran either!). The food on offer at the conferences left a lot to be desired in my opinion, however this may have been down to choices made by our company on our behalf. The quality of the food was always great however often at lunch the options were sandwiches, rolls, wraps or some other form of wheat (as mentioned already I am intolerant to wheat). The sandwiches were always of a good quality however some of the combinations were a bit questionable and almost every sandwich had mayonnaise or egg in it which is not exactly to everyone’s taste. I found this disappointing considering I had eaten here so many times before and always thoroughly enjoyed what I had food wise.
As far as the lunch time dining experience in general goes. There’s always a hot dinner option & a sandwich option, with two separate bars running along side each other for service. The hot option was generally carvery style, good wholesome food. The sandwich bar was completely make your own and was also very good. I do find it to be a little more pricey than I would like considering there are so many similar and cheaper alternatives in the area. But definitely not one to be passed up if you were looking for somewhere to go for lunch when money wasn’t a question!

Stayed in Camden Court in mid-​January 2014.
The Camden Court is a very nice hotel centrally located.
The rooms are very nice, good wifi, parking and the staff were very helpful.
I will stay in this hotel again and would highly recommend it.

Tucked away under an arch is the Camden court. I had the food in the restaurant a couple of times for lunch. Was pretty good. Standard carvery and a selection of salads and sandwiches. The carvery is around € 10.50 which is pretty normal around town and sandwiches are about 5 quid. Good to go to for a change and when you have a craving for mammys home cooked meal.

I have not actually spent the night here, but I have attended a conference here. I have found the conference facilities great. The staff are nice and we always have water on the tables.
However I did notice that in the main conference room the screen is to the side, it would be more useful in the middle (for people to get a proper view). In addition, they have forgotten a few of our coffee breaks, which is always a bit disappointing.
The toilets are nice and clean and they do a good spred of sandwiches and soup for lunches. On a whole, not bad!

Alleine für das Frühstück würde ich 4 Sterne geben. Anders als in vielen anderen Hotels gibt es neben dem englischen Frühstück sogar Lachs, Käse und Schinken für den europäischen Gaumen. Die Zimmer sind völlig okay und bekommen 3 Sterne. Zu Fuß sind es ein paar Minuten in die City, aber auch nicht zu weit weg. Im Gesamten und beim direkten Vergleich mit anderen Hotels, gibt es von mir 4 Sterne.

Prime location. Great pub next door. I had to switch to a different hotel for a wedding and wished I had stayed here instead.
Free wifi is a huge plus. Friendly staff. The rooms and breakfast could be a bit better but overall a really good experience. I’d recommend it to any traveler.

Appearances can be very deceiving. I always found the exterior of this hotel a bit lacking and again assumed it was like it’s outside, not very appealing. So very wrong.
Spotlessly clean. Beautiful lobby. Wonderful staff. I didn’t stay there but I presented at a breakfast conference and I was so surprised at how beautiful the space is. Excellent spot for an awards ceremony, business conference like I said early. Lots of round tables and white linens.
I can only presume that the rooms are great too if the standard is like that.

Fantastic 3 night stay at this hotel, just 10 minutes from the city centre, you can walk, catch the bus or dart to the centre. We caught the dart just behind the hotel that brought you out at St Stephens Green and the top of Grafton Street.
Temple Bar was fantastic, lots of music and atmosphere. Check out the open top bus for a two day pass, you can use it to hop on and off all over Dublin either to see the landmarks or to just get to where you want to go. The standard of service and food in the bars is excellent.
Breakfast in the hotel is a must. Reception staff friendly and welcoming, leisure club is good and housekeeping always said hello.
So tired after every day that we had no problem with any noise, perhaps the Guinness helped a little bit.??
We will be going back.

Fairly priced hotel and ten minutes away from Temple Bar! How can you compete with that?! St. Stephen’s Park was two blocks away and main attractions were easy to get too whether you were walking or taking a bus or taxi. A mini-​mart (Tesco) closeby is very accessible and there were plenty of restaurants to choose from within a three minute walk.
Hotel was well maintained and had all standard amenities (hairdryer, coffee/​tea, etc). Wish I would’ve brought my bathing suit to use the pool! The staff was very accommodating and friendly. You also get free parking if you have a rental car. A HUGE plus!
Also, there’s a large pub right next door (The Bleeding Horse) so you can party without having to drag yourself home! ;]
No complaints!

I go to the Iveagh restaurant in the Camden Court for lunch quite regularly and its nice.
The décor is lovely. I like the tables and chairs too, odd statement, but they are comfy and think this is important for an eating experience! All tables are stocked with glass and jugs of water. Staff are nice too and are always on the ball.
I concur with Natalie M, I go for a toasted chicken wrap and its always yum. Lots of crisps on the side are always welcome, even when I should opt for a salad… oops ;)
Carvery looks good, but I rarely eat a big dinner at lunch during the working week so I can’t comment on the dinners here.

The Camden Court is a regular lunch spot for me. It’s very busy at lunch and offers everything from the full carvery to just a regular sandwich. There also seems to be lots of work lunches and reserved tables every now and then.
I’m a sandwich (or wrap) person and they’re really nice here. They’ve got a good selection of fillings — all the usuals and also some fancy ones if you’re feeling adventurous. They’re a fiver each and come with loads of crisps on the side. Good tip though, you can ask for some salad or coleslaw instead of crisp, they give you a load of it and it’s the same price. Not bad.
