Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I don't know why the restaurant don't have a page here just for itself, so I'm here to write that the Kingfisher Restaurant is an amazing place to have fish & chips. The place is beautiful, the staff if great and the food is delicious (and should have smaller portions, if you don't eat much or is not hungry is best to request 2 plates and share).

Worth paying for quality. Fab, fresh fish with homemade chips. Garlic sauce was lush. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Service is timely. Little bit tight on space between tables. Found it odd that there is a till in the kitchen. Would not have thought that would pass Food Hygiene Standards as money is not clean.

First time I’ve tried this place, thought it was very pricey €22 for cod, chips with a beer. Food was nice but small portion of chips. I thought for that price I’d get some tartar sauce and peas. The lady was nice as I sat down but hardly a thank you or goodbye when I was leaving. It felt like “you’ve eaten now on your way” One of those places I’ll visit once but wouldn’t be pressed on returning in a hurry

Nice small hotel in perfect location. No lift, but it wasn't problem for us. Breakfast is served in restaurant next door. Tesco supermarket is very close,-20 m from apartments, another one -Lidl- across the street. Wifi works perfect. Free water, coffee and tea in the room. If departure is late, so you can leave your bags in luggage room.Recommend for all.

I stayed at the Kingfisher Townhouse for a couple of nights in January, on what was my first visit to the Emerald Isle. I arrived here at around 9.45am, check in was not until 3pm, but i was allowed to leave my small bag with them in reception an come back later to check in. From where you are here on Parnell Street, there is a big Tesco's next door as well as other eateries/shops/bars within stones throw away. To be fair the location was good as you are around the corner from O'Connell Street, which is a major street for shopping/eateries etc and is also where the airport link buses stop. As well as this you are only 10/15 minutes walk from the Temple Bar area. I had a good room on the second floor, the stairs leading up to the room are quite narrow. The room itself was quiet yet it was cold an so had to use the electric wall heater. You have tea/coffee making facilities also in the room. The tv remote control is the strangest remote i have ever used, and the most annoying too - as it does not have any numbers on it just a up an down button which means that when you want to watch the tv you have to scroll through all the tv channels, i had about 400 channels, out of which i guess about half of them worked, an from that alot of the channels repeated themselves, as there was about 12 itv channels all from different regions of the UK. An also a blue rectangular box would come up on the bottom on the screen telling you what is on next which was a waste of time also as it didn't stay on long enough to read it and also it was always wrong as the time on the tv was out by an hour - in all the countries i have been to all over the world, i have never seen a tv or remote like it, its ridiculous. Just program the tv with 5 channels, job done. The room was also a bit dated and the furniture in there was mismatched, like everything was just thrown together, nothing matched. The bed was a small double, an not a standard double, but it was comfortable. If you have Breakfast here, it is served in the Kingfisher Restaurant next door from 9am to 1pm - you have to get a slip of paper from reception prior to going an give it to the waitress/server when ordering. You have a choice from a brief menu, but i can recommend the full Irish Breakfast, it was ideal and just want you want to start the day (see photo). I would get there for 9am every morning and at that time there would be about a dozen people already in there, an it would start to fill up from around 9.30am onwards. Its not that big in size inside, as there is only about 18 tables, some of which only seat two people. The reception is manned 24 hours, and i found that all the staff were always on hand if and when called upon for any questions that i had especially the lovely Morgana, who was very helpful. You have to hand your key in at reception everytime you leave the Kingfisher. I had a 4pm return flight and so i checked out at just before 12pm (check out is up to 12pm), i left my bag at reception an collected it just before 4pm.

We were staying in the hotel which in run by the same family. We ordered a lasagne and a smoked pollock fish and chips. Sizes were ok, not too big or small but the taste was very good. Prices were also reasonable, a nice place for a quick bite to eat.

First & foremost, Maria at the front desk was very, very helpful. She helped us find the parking area & was very considerate. Second - as to the facility. It is clean & located close to landmarks but....there are 3 stories, no elevator, the steps are quite narrow. I'd think a large suitcase could be a problem to lug up the stairs. The windows open onto a very busy street; with the windows open, it was a good temperature in the room but it was very, very loud. With the windows close, it was stuffy but quiet. A fan in the rooms would be extremely helpful. Breakfast is served at the Kingfisher Restaurant; no complaints. When I'd asked about parking, I was told they had some. Upon arrival, we discovered it is available only if reserved in advance. Fortunately 1 of the 4 spaces was open & we were able to pay for it & use it for our rental car. If you stay here, try to get a room in the back away from Parnell Street & if you have a car, be sure to obtain a parking spot.

Responded 5 Nov 2019
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to send your feedback. It makes us happy to see that our staff's hard work made yet another guest feel welcome and enjoy their stay. We apologise if you found the stairs to be an inconvenience, however, we are always on hand to assist guests with their luggage. Our windows are double glazed to ensure that guests have a quiet night's sleep, but we appreciate your suggestion. This will be taken into consideration to improve our service in the future. We get in touch with guests prior to arrival to inform that, should they choose to come with a car, a parking space must be reserved beforehand. As you mentioned, our spaces are limited, so booking this in advance ensures guests will have one space reserved for them. Once again, thank you for sending your comments. Our team is happy that you chose to stay with us, and we will be looking forward to seeing you again whenever you plan another trip to Dublin.

After a long flight I arrived in a rainy, cold Dublin. We had booked into an hotel in Parnell Street, close to The Kingfisher Restaurant. We booked a table and the bottle of wine was on ice waiting for us when we arrived, great. The service was friendly and efficient. The food; we all chose fish and chips which was a good decision. I loved the atmosphere in the restaurant, the excellent food and the super service. I would recommend this restaurant.

Overall we had a decent stay. The room is a bit dated, but it’s very spacious. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Although there isn’t a lift, the staff brought our baggage up to our room on the top floor. We didn’t eat at the restaurant, but we were given a coupon for 10% off and free coffee at the shop next door. There is no AC - I repeat: NO AC! I didn’t realize this when we booked and it happened to be unseasonably warm during the day making the room stuffy despite having the windows open. A fan would have helped circulate the air. At night it was cool and comfortable but the seagulls start up at 4am so hubby didn’t sleep well. It wasn’t terrible. I feel it was an authentic experience.
