Insight Guides "Has more character than some of Dublin’s bigger, pricier places, with the first-floor Library Bar a popular spot with literary types. Situated close to Grafton Street. ."
Fodor's "Every city center needs its little oasis, and the Central's book-and-armchair-filled Library Bar—warmed by a Victorian fireplace—nicely fits the bill." Full review
Time Out "This comfortable, 187-year-old hotel is unique in that it's a prime piece of real estate (right off Dame Street near Temple Bar) that the designers haven't yet got their hands on." Full review

The Telegraph7.0
"A good, albeit rather impersonal, three-star, nicely located overlooking the Grand Canal and just a short walk to the city centre and the Aviva Stadium." Full review
EuroCheapo "A delightfully affordable business-traveler-oriented property, the three-star Mespil Hotel sits on the edge of Ballsbridge, a leafy neighborhood just over the canal from central Dublin." Full review
Frommer's "Accommodations here are certainly of a higher standard than what you’re likely to find uptown for the same price...guest rooms are spacious and feature modern decor and comfortable beds." Full review
