The Property — Glashaus
Glashaus is a crisp, modern three-star in Dublin’s south docklands, all exposed concrete, floor-to-ceiling glass and clean lines. The lobby feels like an airport lounge designed by an architect who genuinely likes people – functional, light and calm, with a bar that actually serves a proper pint. It’s the sensible choice for a traveller who wants reliable comfort near the convention centre or grand canal, without the twee pub clutter of Temple Bar.
Chronicles of Dublin
Dublin began as a Viking settlement around the 9th century, then grew into a walled medieval town under Anglo-Norman rule. Georgian terraces, built with red brick and fanlights, define much of the city centre, though the wide streets and grand squares like Merrion Square owe their scale to the 18th-century Wide Streets Commission. The 1916 Easter Rising and subsequent independence carved a defiant, literary identity – Joyce, Yeats and Beckett all walked these pavements. Today, Dublin is a tech hub, a pub capital and a city that wears its grit and grace equally, from the Liffey’s brown water to the spire piercing O’Connell Street’s skyline.
Best Time to Visit
Full Dublin guide →Best months
May, June: long evenings, temperatures around 14-18°C, and before the school-holiday crowds peak. July can be warm but is also the wettest month.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season, driven by school holidays, the Galway Races (just down the road) and events like the Dublin Horse Show in August. Hotel rates jump 30-50%, and city-centre rooms book out weeks ahead.
Budget shoulder season
September and early October: temperatures still mild (12-16°C), accommodation cheaper by 15-25%, and the tourist crush thins out. The Dublin Theatre Festival in late September adds cultural value without the price spike.
Weather & packing
Dublin’s climate quirk is that it can rain, shine and blow a gale all in one afternoon, thanks to the Atlantic’s mood swings. Pack a waterproof shell and a light jumper, even in July – a t-shirt alone is a gamble.
Live City Briefing — Dublin
- Luas cross-city line works are ongoing: expect occasional tram delays on the Green Line through July, but no full closures. BusConnects reroutes still affect some routes near the Grand Canal.
- The new Westmoreland Street pedestrian plaza is now open, creating a car-free link from Trinity College to the Liffey – handy for a pub crawl without dodging taxis.
- Dublin’s summer water restrictions were lifted in late June after a wet spring, so no tap-water concerns. Carry a reusable bottle; public fountains are back on in St Stephen’s Green.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Glashaus, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a high-floor room on the rear side of the building (away from Belgard Square West) to minimise street noise. Floors 4-6 are quieter and less affected by footfall in the lobby or lift lobby.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1-2 facing Belgard Square West — they catch traffic noise from the square and foot traffic from the entrance. Also avoid rooms directly above the lobby or near the lift shaft on any floor, as these can be noisier due to footfall and mechanical hum.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear of the building (likely onto the local residential area or internal courtyard) offer the best view — quiet and leafy, rather than the concrete square and road. Front rooms look onto Belgard Square West, a commercial/retail area with a shopping centre, so expect a busy street scene.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-6 (top floors) are typically quieter — further from street level and lobby activity, and less likely to have noise from the bar or restaurant below (if present).
🔊 Noise notes
Belgard Square West is a mixed-use area with a shopping centre, bus stops, and a square that hosts events and footfall. Traffic noise can be present during daytime and early evening. The hotel’s ground floor may have a bar or restaurant, so ask for a room away from that side. Lift shaft noise is audible on adjacent rooms, especially on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. The hotel offers free on-site parking — request a space at check-in if you’re driving, as the car park can fill up. 2. Ask at reception for a room on floors 4-6, rear-facing — they’re consistently the quietest. If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs as a backup.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Dublin
💡 Enter from the Fusiliers' Arch side and walk clockwise – the quieter eastern end has fewer tourists and more shade.
💡 Skip the guided tour – the free areas cover the best bits. The library's roof terrace has good city views and is often overlooked.
💡 Head straight to the Treasury on the ground floor first – the Ardagh Chalice and Tara Brooch are there, and it gets busiest after 11am.
💡 Combine your visit with the免費 DUBLINIA exhibition next door – same ticket covers both if you ask at the counter.
💡 Book online at least two days ahead – same-day tickets sell out by 10am. Go on the first tour of the day to avoid crowds.
