Hotel Review
The Devlin, Dublin, Ireland
This is a trendy, boutique-style hotel in the upmarket suburb of Ranelagh, a neighbourhood which is known for a great selection of pubs and restaurants and is around 15 minutes from the city by car. There are 40 cosy guest rooms, which are comfortable and well-equipped with a mini bar of drinks and snacks and lots of convenient gadgets. The Americana cocktail bar on the ground floor is a large, bright space with an excellent cocktail and tapas menu, and Layla's rooftop restaurant has a classic Italian menu, a great selection of wines and cocktails and good views of the surrounding rooftops. There's a coffee hatch, and guests can also book in to see movies in the comfortable Stella Cinema in the basement, which has its own bar.

Style & Character
People who like fun, art, good food, cocktails, a movie night and a comfortable sleep - or locals on a night out - will enjoy staying here. We loved the colourful art and the stylish rooftop restaurant, with views of the surrounding low-rise buildings and distant mountains.

Rooms
The standard Double room was compact, extremely comfortable, well-equipped and had nice views. We liked the picture windows at the end of corridors and appreciated the extra touches in the room: interesting magazines to read, snacks and toiletries for sale and a clothing steamer.
