Buswells Hotel, with its charming, old-style decor, is often praised for its central location, just a few minutes' walk from St Stephen's Green, Grafton Street, and Trinity College. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, some even featuring a nook perfect for children. While most find the rooms comfortable and quiet, some guests have noted the absence of air conditioning. the presence of tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms and a convenient bar often add to the pleasant experience.

The hotel has a convenient bar with great staff at the desk. The reception staff provided excellent assistance at check-in and upon departure. The restaurant offered a pleasure to visit (especially the pork and mashed potato!).
The room was noisy because it was over the service entrance at the back. There was smoking, banging, and talking from 4 a.m. onwards right outside the window. The bedroom was very small, right next door to another room, and the walls were paper-thin, so I could hear others walk around.
