Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Leonardo Hotel Dublin Christchurch, in Dublin City Centre, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out on-site parking, an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With well over 7,900 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 €180 a night, which lands as a middle-of-the-road option for the city. Stack Leonardo Hotel Dublin Christchurch against the better-known names in Dublin and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
