"Attractive riverside hotel... Stylish and well-run."
Concierge
"Unforgivably at these rates, service can falter, veering madly from friendly-polite all the way down to rude."
Insight Guides
"City-centre, riverside location, backing onto Temple Bar. The Art Deco interior has been lovingly restored by new owners (who include U2)."
Lonely Planet
"A handsome boutique hotel designed to reflect the aesthetic of a 1930s gentlemen's club."

"It has a central location beside government buildings... requented by political figures."
Time Out
"The rooms are distributed across three Georgian buildings and exude charm, from their hefty Georgian windows to the views of the broad streets below."

Star Service
"This small, traditional four-story hotel—a series of five bricked Georgian town houses—holds plenty of old-fashioned historic charm, at least in the public areas."

Room 100 is worth requesting for its spaciousness, but its hearth is merely ornamental.

"Buswells Hotel has a homey vibe... the hotel is located in the city center near many tourist attractions, but it's still quiet."
