Was very reasonably priced compared to other Dublin City hotels. Perfect location for us visiting our son just starting at Trinity College. Half way between the city centre and his student accommodation in Daltry. A short direct walk south to meet him down rathmines Road which had a nice neighbourhood feel and good bars/ restaurants. Another short walk north to st Stephen’s Green and Grafton street for shopping and fancy restaurants. Will definitely use this hotel as our base when visiting our son while he’s at uni.

I overheat at night and although the air conditioning was very good in the room, the windows don’t open, so I didn’t sleep well. That’s just me though, as my husband found the room temperature ok.

Room was very modern, I loved it. The staff had to have been the friendliest I’ve ever seen at a hotel which I appreciated. And the breakfast was really good as well. I’m gonna include some pictures of the hotel in this review cos I really couldn’t find anything on this property other than prototype pictures when I first booked so was a bit wary, but was glad that I stuck with my booking. Worth a visit!

Location was perfect for us. Staff very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends.

The only thing we did not like was that the room was too warm and not being able to open a window to combat this.

Location was great! Right at the river and only about 20 min walk into town. Also very cool design and super modern. The room was also equipped with the most amazing smelling soap, shampoo and shower gel- which was a plus. In general very clean, cool hotel in great location.

There were only a few points that I think could be improved. 1) I arrived early and had to pay 20 Euro extra for an early check in. I don‘t see why I had to be charged for it as the room was empty. 2) The breakfast was ok, but not great. 3) There was no „cosy“ lighting in the room. Unfortunately only the main lights which are super bright and not quite what I would want in the evening or the early morning.

This was my second stay in the NYX, my first stay was when it had just opened in a couple of months and they went above and beyond by decorating my room for my birthday. This time around it was just okay, cleanliness of the room is somewhat not the same standard anymore, the rooms are a bit dusty and both the robes I had in my room and old blood stains which was extremely shocking and a bit disappointing! The food at the restaurant isn’t great either, very limited menu also, I decided to give the food a second chance still a let down

My robes both had old blood stains on them and nothing was followed up after just a “oops sorry and given another one” which was a complete let down

This hotel is in a great location, walking distance to lots of pubs and restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and the room had a lovely view of the canal.

The cleanliness was ok, but definitely not the best. We put a sign on our door one day to request a clean and it was never done. They also didn't replace the coffee each time, but reception happily provided us some when we went down and asked. The bar downstairs also felt like they didn't prioritise guests of the hotel and there was a couple of times we were unable to be served due to there being too many people there for the bottomless brunch. The rooms were not very sound proof either and we were woken up a few times by noisy neighbours.

Location was great, close to the Luas and bus stops. You could walk to several pubs and eateries, lovely by the canal. Liked the variety of the buffet. The room was exactly like the photos, plenty of room to stay and have a coffee down stairs, room was for sleeping.

I wasn't a huge fam of all the women's paintings everywhere! Although some where lovely there is also such lovely areas not far that could have been hightlighted instead. The barge, the canal, the gorgeous area of St stephens green , but that is just my opinion. The breakfast was very confusing, one day a buffet the next day it wasn't. No singage that we saw about breakfast hours, menu, that you could have an omelette made if you wanted instead of the scrambled eggs.

My recent stay at the NYX Hotel Dublin Portobello was truly outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the warm and professional reception by Conor, the Duty Manager, made us feel welcome and valued as guests. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor set the tone for an excellent experience. Additionally, there was an Italian receptionist whose name I can't recall, but she was absolutely spectacular—her charm and helpfulness added a special touch to our stay. A special highlight of our visit was the breakfast experience. Pedro, the sous-chef, prepared dishes that were simply superb. Each meal was not only delicious but also carried a comforting, home-like quality that made our stay even more memorable. It felt like a perfect blend of top-tier culinary expertise and heartfelt hospitality. The hotel itself was impeccable, maintaining high standards of cleanliness and comfort. Additionally, its location offered easy access to the city, making it convenient for both leisure and exploration. Overall, I highly recommend NYX Hotel Dublin Portobello for anyone looking for exceptional service, delicious cuisine, and a seamless stay. We look forward to returning!

The staff was very friendly, I really appreciated the glass of sparkly and the candy upon arrival :), the room was small but very cozy and had everything I needed to feel comfy, was also nice and quiet. One of the nice main streets with a lot of bars and restaurants is just around the corner, there’s a lovely breakfast place across from the hotel at the corner on the other side of the canal.

I had to ask multiple times for a receipt with my address on it (because it was a business trip) and didn’t really care for the annoyed attitude the lady at the reception on the day of my check out gave me when I told her I had already requested this when booking the hotel (it was not a busy morning for her). It was too bad this was my last impression of this hotel which up until this moment really was exceptional when it came to friendliness of staff.

Wonderful hotel with a great location, within walking distance to most tourist attractions. The staff were amazing and so helpful. We loved the breakfast and there was a wide choice of hot and cold foods to choose from. But what I loved the most was we had a room that was designed for people with disabilities, it was great because the room designers had really thought through everything. I am deaf and there was flashing lights for the fire alarms and they had even a vibrating alarm clock for your use. So inclusive! Loved the retro arcade games in reception, a lovely blast from the past!

A kid screaming at breakfast on both mornings, but not the hotels fault!
