Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Cassidys Hotel, in Parnell Square, is one of those. The setting is part of the appeal, barely a stroll from the centre of Dublin, and the location score sits in strong territory because of it. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. With well over 4,100 reviews on the books and a strong average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €141 a night, which lands as a fair-value option for the city. The honest read on Cassidys Hotel is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger Dublin names rather than a headline of its own.
