Fodor's Expert Review The Devlin

Located in trendy Ranelagh village, just outside the city center, this boutique property refers to its compact rooms as "pods," and offers a rooftop restaurant and terrace, ground-floor bar and coffee shop, and subterranean 42-seat cinema and bar, making it one of the coolest places to stay in Dublin right now. The rooms are definitely not big, but the smart design, minimalist style, herringbone-pattern wood floors, and great big windows keep them light and airy. "Bunkpod" rooms stack a single bed on top of a double, making it a good option for small families. An impressive collection of contemporary Irish art adorns the walls, and Layla's restaurant on the top floor has 180-degree views of the Dublin skyline. The in-house cinema has two shows daily.
