The Hendrick Smithfield

I stayed for 4 days as a solo traveller, was really happy with my stay! It was plenty of room for just myself but could potentially be a bit squishy for two. The lobby area was nice, I didn't utilise the brekky or the bar but both looked good. The location was great for me, not far from public transport options, with cafes, bars and pubs in the surrounding blocks but without heaps of crowds. Was about a 20 minute walk to get to the heart of town, but also nice and close to Phoenix Park.

After a long journey from the U.S.—complete with a few well-planned adventures to help us stay awake and fend off jet lag—we arrived at The Hendrick Smithfield. From the moment we stepped inside, we were met with kind, welcoming staff and a refreshingly modern atmosphere. The lobby and lounge area were bright and vibrant, adorned with urban art and filled with the mellow hum of live music vibes that instantly reminded us of home in Austin, TX. Our room was clean and cozy, with a double bed for my mom and me, and a fun bunk setup where my son slept above us. The close quarters didn’t bother us at all—we had read the reviews and knew to expect a compact space. The room was smartly designed, with easy-to-access outlets, clever storage under the bed for our carry-ons, and just enough room to comfortably move around. This is the kind of place that works perfectly for a brief city stay—I'd say two nights is ideal before moving on to explore the rest of Ireland. During our stay, we walked to a nearby open-air mall area with plenty of charming dining and grocery options where we enjoyed fresh, delicious food. On the morning of our departure, we had breakfast at Third Space Smithfield, just a short stroll away. What a gem—cozy, thoughtfully designed, and the perfect spot to start your day. All in all, The Hendrick Smithfield was a great landing spot to shake off jet lag and soak up a little city energy before heading out to the countryside. Would absolutely recommend it as a first stop in Dublin!

We had a fantastic stay at The Hendrick Smithfield. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. We especially want to highlight the receptionist (who checked us in and who also speaks Polish), as he was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. He made check-in very smooth and gave us great tips about the area – a real asset to the hotel! Our room was modern, clean, and well-designed. We really appreciated the stylish atmosphere throughout the hotel, from the lobby to the hallways. The location is also ideal – close to the city center but still in a quiet area where we could relax.

Well priced hotel within 15 minute walk of central Dublin. Whilst the rooms are small, they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hotel itself is quiet and the artwork is cool! A number of bars and restaurants close by - particular nods to Frank Ryan’s Bar & Fidelity, both of which are well worth a visit.

Exceptional! Patrick and the staff made a forever impression, always happy to help, smile and made the trip 10x better then expected. Advisory on where best to visit, eat and cost effective ways to have and enjoy Dublin. The hotel was catered well, it was clean and a fabulous walking location to all areas of Dublin. The hotel had live music one evening and it was such a wonderful surprise, the bar was always open for fabulous drink requests and endless coffee in the morning and fresh pastries at breakfast. Before checking in, the options were sent via email to have an early and late check out, special extras for the room for occasions and sign posted tourist attractions. I can not recommend this hotel and all it had to bring enough.
