The 270-room, mid-range Green Isle Hotel looks a little featureless from the outside, but has bright, colorful interiors. The location isn't great for those hoping to explore Dublin city center -- it's far from the city's central attractions -- but just off the N7 road makes the hotel easy to access for drivers. Renovated, modern rooms are adequate for this caliber of property, though some traffic can be heard from those facing the road. A leisure center (with pool and steam room) is a surprising bonus, and parking is free of charge. Also check rates the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel -- it's a bit nearer to town and prices are comparable.

Scene
Modern, informal hotel
There's little to impress from the outside of this modern, family-run property -- the frontage is contemporary but looks more conference center than hotel. Entering the spacious lobby, however, and the atmosphere is considerably brighter with floral bouquets, plush velvety furnishings, and a trio of mini chandeliers illuminating the reception area. The colorful and contemporary vibe continues into the corridors, with patterned carpeting and modern art. The atmosphere is informal and friendly, and clientele tend towards business travelers with meetings in the area or those attending an event or conference at the hotel.
