Bottom Line

The Dylan Hotel is a stylish 44-room boutique with a quiet and safe location in Dublin 4, an upscale neighborhood a short walk from the city center. Each room has been individually styled with a mix of whimsical decor -- artistic headboards, intricate mirrors, and statement chairs -- and classic pieces.

Dylan Hotel

Location

In residential Dublin 4, a neighborhood just outside the city center

The Dylan Hotel is located on a quiet, tree-lined side street in Dublin 4. This residential neighborhood is a 15-minute walk to the city center and there are many restaurants cafes, and pubs along the way. There are few attractions in the upscale Ballsbridge neighborhood, although the AVIVA Stadium is nearby. Major tourist sights are within easy walking distance or the neighborhood is well served by several bus lines.
