Wynn’s Hotel

This review is regarding the Tea room/​restaurant ONLY:
Wynn’s tea room/​restaurant is a nice and private getaway in the heart of dublin. Its beautifully furnished dining room is cozy and a real trip for first timers. My father was here 40 years ago, when staying at the hotel.
We went back to visit it and he explained that it had gotten nicer and he hadn’t realized how nice it had been! The soup, tea and homemade bread were gentle, elegant, and pretty tasty. It is a gem and a wonderful spot to relax at if you fancy a cuppa on a weekend afternoon!
Staff are very friendly and polite, adding to the class of this great spot.

I’m sad to say that Wynns no longer takes my fancy. Food is not good. Staff are too pressured, too bored, too uninterested. maybe too few …. and I wonder why. But that’s not my job. If I pay to eat out, which I do. frequently … I prefer not to have to analyse the attitude of staff.
I still go in for a drink to the bar, because it’s kinda cosy. However, Wynns is not so nice anymore … another good Dublin landmark, sadly, disappearing … in my humble opinion.

Was here for a conference on a Saturday. It’s fine, and the location can’t be beat.

I can highly recommend the venerable Wynn’s Hotel, in the heart of the city center, located steps from historic O’Connell Street and just a block from the River Liffey. Breakfast is included in a nice ground floor restaurant (we had a pleasant dinner there as well). We stayed in the James Joyce Suite, which is a lovely room with queen bed, an electric fireplace and is in a very quiet corner of the hotel. Within easy walking distance of Trinity College (Book of Kells), the General Post Office, Temple Bar area, shopping, and on the route of the Dublin Green Hop On/​Off bus. Friendly staff. They had an issue with the elevator (it squealed for a couple of days, which was annoying) but had it fixed and gave us a discount for our trouble.

Hotel is a great location and value for the city. Be aware if you go in summer the windows only open a few inches leaving much to be desired in air circulation and quality. (no ac) After one night in the room my allergies began acting up which leads me to believe there may be mold.
Bathrooms were nice however the hotel should consider replacing pillows and washing bed spreads more often as there is a musty smell to them. Staff was very friendly and courteous and breakfast was good.
Overall it is a good price for what you get.

Wynn’s Hotel (Winnie, as I call her) is a nurturer to first time Dubliners.
She lives close to the action, cooks amazing food, and despite being a bit long in the tooth, provides endless possibilities in adventure! Ol’ Winnie shows some wear and tear, but is still an amazing hostess.
3 stars for the hotel itself, 5 stars for the breakfast, staff, and location. Great little place to stay at in Dublin. Request a room with a fireplace, it gets really chilly! In the thick of the action, so not the best place for someone who requires complete silence to sleep.
The breakfast is downright amazing, and you can walk to almost anything. I, myself, took a liking to Irish Chinese food. Oh, and the Temple Bar area is ridiculously close.

LOVE! The staff is super nice and helpful.
We stayed with Wynn’s sporadically throughout our 9 day trip. While we traveled to other cities, they had no issue with storing and retrieving our huge ass suitcases several times.
Rooms — the hotel itself is more old-​fashioned looking. Rooms are not modern but we chose this hotel because there were four of us, we all wanted to be in the same room and apparently four-​person rooms are hard to come by in Dublin. But I’m glad we stumbled upon this one. Oh and since we stayed for St. Paddy’s day, there were real shamrocks in the room when we checked in! Wish I could have brought them home.
Food — We had breakfast here everyday. They have hot breakfast items (such as a full Irish breakfast, eggs benedict, etc.) but it wasn’t anything fantastic. They also have a help yourself continental breakfast which was fruits, yogurts, cereals and scones.
Location — Right in the city centre. It’s less than a ten minute walk to Temple Bar. You can catch the train right out in front. It’s a block away from the GPO. The only scary thing — there’s an ATM right outside the hotel and on our last night, we saw someone getting mugged! But other than that incident, I did feel pretty safe. I guess: x
If I ever come back to Dublin, I would definitely stay here.

This is a great place to step away from the hustle n’ bustle of Dublin city centre and sit back and enjoy a lovely old world service. Food is nothing fancy but well cooked, tasty and hot. Service is very attentive and nothing appears to be a bother.

A group of almost 40 of us stayed three nights at Wynn’s. The place is loaded with atmosphere, particularly the breakfast room and bar. It was built in the mid 1800’s, but burned down during the Troubles and was rebuilt in the 1930’s I think. Speaking of breakfast, they serve a plentiful one, freshly made and tasty. Our room was large by European standards and the bathroom was huge. Its convenient to major city sights, and right on the tram line. Only problem is Saturday night, the heavy metal band from the club next door made the walls shake. Definitely should be considered for a stay in Dublin.

Close to everything and on the major transportation lines, the Wynn is old Dublin and has just the right feel. The breakfasts are A-​1. The pub is busy and fun. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is the noise from the pubs and party rooms around. Yet, they add to the experience. If you want sterile quiet book a faceless hotel.

The Wynn in Dublin in a hidden gem in quality, and in price/​performance. The food is decent, the coffee very good, andthe hotel is dark and old in a great way. The bathrooms are about twice the size of the trendy Morgan.
The Wynn is just north of touristy Temple Bar area a few blocks, across the O’Connel or ha’penny bridges. There are some nice restaurants on the north side now, and some cool bar & grills like The Church. I highly recommend the Wynn since it’s roughly half the price of the nicer Temple Bar hotels, is 5 minutes away, and much more nostalgic.
The service provided by David at The Wynn is fantastic, also make sure you call them to discuss group rates if you have 10 – 20 people.

The beautiful stained glass awning belies the debauchery within. The two function rooms on the second floor are popular spots for 21sts and 30ths, and I hope they are soundproof, or else the banging tunes could well disturb the guests above.
If you are invited, be sure to dress to impress (your pimp), as the style on display is straight out of the Playboy mansion. Crime buffs take note: the bar downstairs is where Catherine Nevin plotted the murder of her husband.

I always get nostalgic whenever I see the ornate Victorian signage for this place. It’s the traditional spot that Mam and I meet in for some dinner. Because she is a country woman she eats dinner very early in the day, my lunch time basically.
She thinks that they do the best bacon and cabbage. I’m not the biggest fan of that dish but my Mam is a hardcore critic when it comes to that dish. They do wholesome dishes at very affordable prices. It’s location is perfect, right by the Luas stop. Atmosphere is slow and lazy so don’t go there expecting a party but hit it up if you are homesick for some comfort food.

I really liked Wynn’s Hotel, I would to say the location of this hotel is as perfect as your going to get a hotel in a major european city like dublin, its not overly expensive and the food is delicious and the staff are warm and presentable. I spent about 2 days in wynns and I enjoyed every moment of it. My room was clean and quiet. It was rather small, but that’s not unusual in a European hotel. There was times where it had a noisey atmosphere outside with the busy citys roads and traffic and local’s returning from nights out but is an excellent place to catch your few days in dublin and be able to walk out to be right in the city centre.
