The Fitzwilliam Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
The Fitzwilliam Hotel is worth booking if you want a five-star base on Saint Stephen's Green within an easy walk of Grafton Street and Trinity College, and the budget is not tight. Skip it if you want a guaranteed large room, because guests report that some rooms feel small, and at about €554 a night that matters.

This is our Luxury pick in Dublin. It suits couples and city-break travellers who want five stars and plan to walk almost everywhere in the centre.
Families can look at the listed family rooms, and there is a gym. No spa or pool is listed, so do not book expecting one.
Skip it if space is your priority or the price stretches you. Room size varies, according to guests, and the rate on our reference dates was high even for Dublin.
Location and getting around
The address is Saint Stephen's Green. Guests rate the location 9.8 out of 10 and mention Grafton Street, St. Stephen's Green and Trinity College nearby, with tram access.
Dublin Castle is about 600 metres away, around 8 minutes on foot. The Abbey Theatre is about 1 km, around 13 minutes. Croke Park is about 2.5 km, around 31 minutes, which is far enough that public transport or a taxi makes sense on match days.
These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been checked. Parking is not listed, so if you plan to drive, ask the hotel first.
What guests say
The Fitzwilliam scores 9.1 out of 10 from 1,403 reviews.
The location is the clearest strength in the comments. Guests also praise the staff as a friendly, attentive team that gives a warm welcome and helpful service.
The main complaint is room size. Some rooms are described as spacious, while others feel cramped and small. Since the data does not say which rooms are which, ask before booking or choose a room category with a stated size.
Price compared with our other two Dublin picks
The reference price was about €554 a night, around €1,108 for two nights. That is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
Our budget pick, Dublin One, was about €97 a night with 8.2 and four stars. Our Best Value pick, Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre by IHG, was about €146 with 8.8 and three stars.
That is a gap of more than €400 a night over the Best Value option. You are paying for five stars, the top score of the three and a Stephen's Green address. If you will spend little time in the room, one of the other two will cover the basics for much less.
